I agree with you, i have had several funny experience convincing people on Cryptocurrency and joining steemit. All i decided to do was take steemit and crypto as a whole to be an hobby and a funny part of my life so everyone coming around me wanted to know what i exactly i do with phone that makes me stay on line then i start talking and show some proof of knowledge and motivation i have gotten since i joined steemit and this has really worked for me.
