RE: Looking for the Future after Taking a Trip Down Memory Lane

in #hive3 years ago

I think a lot of people aren't coming in because crypto is absolutely a scam, no other option is possible, and they're infinitely too smart to be tricked into falling for something like that.

I've watched some Youtube with my kids and have seen some of them laughing at people who are trying to get something out of them and offering shitcoins as payment (either actually a scam or trying to use a big name to give some legitimacy to said shitcoin) so I'm not that surprised with that rep/attitude.

And then other times it's just hard. I'm super slow with the onboarding thing and I have to check in with the latest artist I'm encouraging on but last I heard they'd been having trouble with the signup process and given that it's supposed to be easier than it has been previously I'm kind of wondering how many people are failing before they start even now.

Sort:  

Some people do have an irrational fear of legit crypto projects, due to some others being shady.

Another reason why I think the social space here is important. Browsing content in it various forms isn't a concept that's foreign to people. Socializing is normal and it's not like everyone here is trying to cram outrageous promises of potential wealth down the throats of all random passersby. People sit on these devices all day, browsing regular forms of media, earning nothing in the form of compensation for their time. The real scam is zoning out into a device all day and getting nothing in return. At least here, people get something, and one can't really fail at leaving comments and hitting 'like' buttons.

But yeah I guess if they can't even get in the door, we're fucked.
