I've tried getting my close friends into bitcoin. All of them like most people think its a scam or don't want to be part of "drug money." None care about buying and holding, even with the prices rising everyday. So today I sent out a message on our group chat and ask them all to download the Mycelium app and I would send them $10 of BTC for free. Just to get them involved.
ONLY ONE OUT OF 5 OF THEM downloaded the app. and he was skeptical. Especially since he's worked as a bank teller most his life. When all was done he said "i feel like a hacker now."
I've come to realize that he and all of the world must be so stuck on the perception of monopoly money, that not even free "e-money" will get them to wake up. Everyone is so stuck on male rompers and Trump that they can't see "Rome burning."
You Can't Help The Helpless.
I understand the struggle. Being surrounded by ignorance and unwillingness really sucks sometimes.
Luckily, Steem is the right place for a community that likes to dabble in cryptocurrency.
