What makes people 'believe' is when I tell them 'attention is worth money, look at how Facebook earns money from your attention. Now it's time that money that is paid for your attention comes to YOU' - and I tell them how I believe everything we now pay for will make us money since every single company will simply have to pay for you to give them attention. Steem is just one example where attention gets paid, but there are many more that will come.
Really, this explanation works better than 'I get paid to post' :D.
By no means I tell them that I get paid to post. That is a poor explanation. I try to convince them about the revolution crypto will bring. Interesting stuff...Yet, I get replies such as “Did you see that Russian guy who was arrested for being involved in BTC”....wtf? Really now? Uneducated...the worst disease
:') WTF, yes, I know, I'm watching tv series and every time Bitcoin is mentioned it's only in a criminal setting. It will take some time, but as soon as I can buy my friends a round of beer with my crypto creditcard... They will regret not having listened to me :')
Edit: US. Listened to all of us. Lol.
