I think every person that have at least daily visits here on steemit to catch up on things will probably have a little more knowledge than the average person.
I remember back in November, I was talking with a friend that was telling me one of his dad’s friends had started to mine bitcoin and I remember he asking me if mining bitcoin wasn’t illegal? In my mind I was like WTF dude?
To explain the context, in my country Venezuela mining bitcoin is probably illegal because of the currency exchange control we have here, either way ton of people do it on a clandestine way, but my friend was asking if it was illegal not in Venezuela but in the world... and I was like damn! How could you ask that xD?
In that moment I realize he didn’t quite get how bitcoin worked, so I explain to him the miners are the one who support and confirm the blockchain and it’s information... and that it’s not illegal to be a miner lol
But as crypto goes mainstream the people with little knowledge will also increase by a lot. It’s our duty to teach them so they can get on board with crypto faster and help with its takeover.
Yes, I find myself a bit shocked at how blindly people follow trends. I remember this from high school but I haven’t put myself in many situations with so many of these kind stuff of people during the past 10 years. I supposed it’s good that I became a teacher, I never imagined I’d do most of my teaching informally outside of work though.
Now that the age of crypto is upon us, many of us will become teachers. We should always remain students as well, the best teachers do!
