I've tried to show them and to get them involved but it's so hard to get people interested.
Even when it's just a matter of posting content and earning crypto like they do on web2 apps every single day.
I thinks it's going to have to be a phone app that makes the breakthrough. One that feels so easy they don't even know it's on hive just log in with email and use it then see their wallet grow every day.
It's the only way we will get our mates to jump in when there is no barrier to entry.
Anything worthwhile requires effort and discipline to sustain that effort over a period of time. A lot of people don't exercise even though it's common knowledge that it's a habit that improves our lives in many ways. Blockchain technology has a bit of a learning curve, there's lots of noise and you have to be willing to go through some pretty drastic economic cycles too.
I guess it's not appealing to everyone in its current form.
