Hey guys,

I don't get what's holding us back. Every time I talk about crypto with a family member or someone at work their eyes glaze over.

I feel like I'm the weirdo talking about klingon mating rituals!

Which makes me wonder - why are we still on the fringe? What could we do to take blockchain technology and make it accessible for everyone?

Anyway, that's my rant for today...

What do you think?

What I can say is that you are not the only one in this and there is really nothing much you can do to someone who is not ready to learn it will just be a  complete waste of time which is something I don't expect anybody to engage in. All I  do is just to talk about it with anyone who cares to listen and move on so that it will be on record that I did my parr in enlightening you but you choose to ignore my words of counsel.

- it is still early and adoption takes time

- people are used to their own methods of payment and fiat so much that they don't want to change

- regarding bitcoin it is already happening but slowly. and one of the reasons is that many (like banks for instance) are against it so they do everything in their power to slow it down so they can live one more day

- regarding altcoins they do not plan on going mainstream the majority of them aim for becoming best profitable pump and dumps so they succeed at that. the rest will be trampled under feet of traders who don't care about anything other than more money

the easiest way is to buy some cryptos for him or make him buy some, only if he was involved, can he learn more about cryptos, then he will believe in absolutely

Patience, it's getting there. As it grows it will become easier to use and more accessible. With this it will grow quicker. You're looking at a ball that's just started rolling.

It's still pretty hard to get in/out with/to fiat. When some project will realize method which will allow to make fast and convenient transaction between crypto and fiat then BINGO will happen Wink Moreover common people should be educated in informatics and cryptography (a little at least) to be involved to crypto.

Because it's not easy to understand imo. It's hard to use when comparing it to cash or cc, it's more expensive.
As long as cash is more efficient, easier and safer to use, I think going mainstream will be hard.

It is, we're just still early adopters (even after nearly a decade).

When more mainstream companies accept cryptos as payment is when they'll really take off. Maybe you're pushing too hard, most people I talk about cryptos with come to me later and ask how to get started.
