I really like this! That Pump and Dump song is hilarious. "To the moon, to the moon I say" hahaha, "We pump and dump and pump and dump"
I can relate to your story. There is definitely resistance. I wrote for a website called Textbroker for awhile and was paid through Paypal. I never had any problems with them, but I much prefer this platform. I've heard of other people who are having negative experiences with them.
Some of my friends thought it was "fake money." Until they see how well I've been doing the last few months lol . . now some of them want me to invest for them. But what I do instead, is give them all the facts at their disposal so they can make the decisions for themselves. A few are now on there way to becoming small time crypto investors . . and it's wonderful.
The learning curve is still pretty high. People who aren't that tech savvy still have real trouble wrapping their heads around the concept of a "virtual money." But we're making great strides at getting more mainstream adoption. Blockchain tech is starting to change the world!
I have to say, I wish that I had been paying more attention earlier. There is no reason that I wasn't. I just, I don't know... life? I think that since I was on the curve with Paypal and pretty reliant since almost all of my clients pay on there, that I didn't want to change to another platform and have to explain to people how the internet works. I wasn't paying attention when the markets changed and so when Paypal started being weird and acting like a bank, I didn't know why. When I changed my name to a business name, they gave me such a hassle. Normally, I have no problems with them but it was sort of an eye opening experience. I ended up having to get a new paypal account and voila! I now get treated like someone that just started with them, another number. I swear, being there for as long as I did, even when I had an issue it was a definite treatment from customer service. I feel kind of daft right now. LOL Guess it is good I am figuring it out. There were a lot more songs around as well. I was thinking I'll just keep adding the as I go.
