I won't go preaching or soliciting about the cryptos, but I will answer their questions, if any. I can explain the technology and how the market works, and then they should decide for themselves if to get engaged or not. I think we should encourage by example and our improved lifestyle.

Open Zeppelin USD Audit should convince anyibe to dump fiat for crypto
Critical Severity
Centralized issuance, requires trust in US government
The USD monetary base is tied to the centralized policies of the Federal Reserve team. In contrast with most other digital assets, where supply is algorithmically pre-determined, the USD token’s supply is subject to central planning and manual minting by the team. This means the USD tokens are produced on an unpredictable pattern of increasing inflation.
Consider removing the Federal Reserve’s ability to mint new USD tokens at discretion.
Not backed by any physical asset
USD token is what is called a “fiat” currency. Fiat money is an intrinsically worthless object, that is deemed to be money by law (in this case, US law). This means that users of USD token are required to trust the US government to exist and operate correctly in order to use it. A black-swan scenario where the US government ceases to exist and enforce the USD token’s value would cause a global financial crisis.
Consider reverting to the gold standard and having each USD token represent a fixed amount of gold.
High Severity
Heavily depreciating asset
The USD token has been alarmingly depreciating in value over the past 100+ years. $1 in 1860 had the same purchasing power as $28.53 in 2018. This means someone hiding $1000 in 1860 would now have the equivalent of only $35.05 at their time. This heavily undermines the token’s usefulness, and damages trust from its users.

Consider adopting a stabler monetary policy.
High energy usage and environmental impact
The token’s physical implementation requires huge amounts of energy for printing, counterfeit management, as well as transportation. Consider switching to a crypto-based currency to reduce environmental impact.
Medium Severity
Undetermined confirmation time for transactions
Electronic transactions of USD may be rolled back by a centralized agency at the request of the payer, at an arbitrary time after being executed (sometimes even months after). Compared to the average confirmation time in the order of minutes in all major currencies, this time is unacceptable for most use cases, as merchants cannot reliably count on the payment received for a provided service or good.
Consider settling transactions after a reasonable period of time, or switching to another currency altogether for managing payments.
Unappealing design
Consider redesigning the USD token branding for a more modern look and feel.


Highly susceptible to theft
Physical US Dollar bills are highly susceptible to theft, especially through the “pickpocketing” attack vector. Any malicious user with enough proficiency in this kind of attack can remove an arbitrary amount of US dollars from an unsuspecting user, by substracting their entire wallet.
Consider adding some form of password-based protection to US Dollar wallets.
Low Severity
Unsuited for global transfers
US dollars can be transferred in either physical or electronic form. Physical form, while convenient for exchanging small amounts with neighbouring parties (note that this use case was already covered by barter), is extremely cumbersome for long distance transfers, requiring the usage of trusted third party services. Furthermore, these third parties employ transportation methods to provide this service, which consume extremely high levels of energy, compared to those required for a simple cryptocurrency transfer.
On the other hand, in electronic form, US dollar transfers or payments require the approval of several intermediate agencies, which may demand arbitrary documentation to authorize each individual step.
Consider setting up local exchanges from USD to cryptocurrencies, to use an efficient method for global transfers.
Notes & Additional Information
We found it really hard to find up to date documentation on this project. Please improve documentation to help users and future auditors understand and evaluate the project.
Even though the token is burnable, we found the process to be rather anti-ecological. Consider minting new tokens with more eco-friendly materials.
Conclusion
Two critical severity and two high severity issues were found and explained, along with recommendations on how to fix them. Some changes were proposed to follow best practices and reduce potential attack surface.

The world of crypto is the world that I do, I can not pursue a thing without much profit. I'm 99% sure that the person will be interested in the world of crypto currency. However, other things may happen. When the person is not interested in investing in crypto currency then I will show evidence of my friends success

Encouraging others to cryptocurrency will benefit both parties since crypto will have more users to entertain and the users will benefit from the knowledge and profits that they will have.

I always tell people who are beginning to be interested in cryptocurrencies about all their pros and cons, but it is difficult for me to communicate with them to people who are obviously negative and extremely skeptical about cryptocurrencies.

I always do, but I make sure that they will understand the risk behind the volatility of crypto. I made money from different aspects of crypto from trading, holding, bounties and airdrops and I'm explaining and teaching then this aspects according to their risk appetite. Because sharing is caring.

I stopped doing that because often people are just unkind and not grateful for that, they want to have very fast and easy profit, and when they face the reality, usually they get frustrated.

To have blockchain and crypto to reach to global masses, this is the least we can do. I think we need to talk about it more frequently on our social networks and talk to our friends about it. Even if we'll able to convey the slightest of benefits to few of our circle members, we'll win Smiley

I will not force people to invest since I'm afraid of feeling responsible for others.  If I offered someone to invest in the winter, then now I would feel uncomfortable, because the market is a big drawdown.  Some people do not understand that investing in cryptocurrency is a big risk, even if I explain it many times.
we should not force other to invest or force here in crypto what are some of the best that we can be is let them see how great is this crypto for real.
