Since I got to know #crypto 6 years ago, I have tried to get numerous others interested in it as well.
How many was I able to convince in the end?
So far 2 people.
Here's why.

Most people are not interested in anything that is "too" new, even if it has potential to positively change their lives forever.
A new #technology only becomes interesting for them when it is considered "good" by a broader audience. Meaning that a lot of people have adopted it.

Another thing I noticed when talking to friends and acquaintances about #cryptocurrencies was that most simply don't have the spirit to research a new, complex #innovative technology after a hard day's work.
It was mildly interesting and that was that. Can't really blame them.

Those who took the time to google it quickly came across countless headlines about why #bitcoin is bad and why you should just stay away from it.
And for most of them a headline in a major publication had more weight than my humble opinion.

For us who are in this space everyday, crypto has changed and advanced a lot.
But we often forget that for the majority, the whole tech is still something very new and strange.
We are still very early. Somewhere at the lower end of the growth phase in this chart.
