Hallelujah! Preach it!! :)
I am sensing a big shift at the moment - must be the energies of the new year, but I'm feeling that mainstream people are becoming more open and interested. And also we - us in the cryptospace - are finding better words and better language to onboard them. There is more intentional communication happening.
Yesterday, an artist in a women's entrepreneur group posted a video, asking the community to weigh in on the way her and other artist's artwork is being censored on traditional social media (just because she drew a naked stick figure it's considered porn 🙄). So she decided to leave Facebook and was wondering where to go.
Nobody responded for a whole day, because nobody had answers or solutions. So when I saw her post, I told her about Steemit, D.Tube, and the Brave Browser (as an alternative to Patreon).
I did not mention the words crypto, bitcoin or blockchain at all. I only talked about censorship and lack thereof, community rewards, and decentralisation.
She got so excited; a whole new world opened up for her. She downloaded the Brave Browser, she watched all the videos on my youtube channel and I'm sure she's signed up to Steemit as well, right away. She totally dived in!
She was so grateful, because she thought she had to mobilize her whole artists community to reinvent the wheel. Now she knows that the world/society/economy she's craving, is already here.
Had I led with words like Bitcoin and Blockchain, I would have lost her interest right away.
We need to meet people where they are at, and show them how they - in their situation, in their business - can benefit from all things blockchain and decentralisation.
Unlike many mainstream people, artists and content creators have an actual problem that needs to be solved now. Their livelihood is at stake. Once they understand and begin benefiting from platforms like Steemit, they will become their biggest advocates and spread this to their communities.
I think this is going to be a BIG year when it comes to #decentralisation and adoption of platforms like ours.
sure.
Steem has a story why an average joe needs it besides buy this crypto-crap-token and become-rich-quick. And you still might become rich pretty quick by supporting it.
That is just such an amazing comment @connecteconomy
Mostly there is more awareness of what blockchain and crypto are about. LAck of this awareness was a huge problem.

Wow this is amazing. I mean really. We need the people to come to this platform not because of the money but because this is much better than FB or what ever.
That is why we suffering now because most of the users came here to earn and when they find out that for that you need to work hard than they are disapointed.
But wait a minute? Are they earn on fb? Huuupppsss
And here we are. This is what i wrote about in my new post today.
By the way great job i am really happy to see comments or posts like this😊
