RE: Does your Grandma Know About Steemit and Bitcoin?

in #life7 years ago

I love the concept of Grandparent-adoption of these technologies. I'm sure there are a few savvy older people out there!

Unfortunately, as I look around steemit, It seems that there are even many younger people that do not grasp the concept of adding value and utilizing the potential of the platform. It's as if they read a website article about "The secret to make tons of money online in four BRUTAL steps!"

1- Sign up for a ton of credit cards with cashback.
2- Sell your junk on ebay.
3- Watch millions of ads for a two dollar giftcard.
4- Post on steemit.

This is unfortunate, and shows that a lot of people aren't getting the whole point.

BUT that is why I loved your post! A grandchild who knows how to use bitcoin and steemit spending a few quality hours introducing them to these concepts sounds wonderful!

"Sure, Grandpa, teach me how to play the saxophone, would you be interested to learning how to STEEM?"
