In the future there will be the uber-literate and everyone else.
I can send my nephew 1 BTC, I am such a great UNCLE!
But what the fuck does he know what to do with it?
How can I even START to explain to him it's value, or how he can now BUY A HOUSE?
There is a literacy DIVIDE in this world and there are the KNOW-HAVES and KNOW-NOTs?
RIGHT?! theres such a learning curve associated with BTC alone, let alone STEEM. its so funny how much focus there is on Bitcoin, little do people know whats coming their way with STEEM, and also what it is capable of in comparison! I'm so excited for the world to start getting a grasp on that, because every time I start to think about it, I get so excited!!
Especially when unexpected gains happen like in the last couple of days!!! Just more confirmation we are on the right track my friend! With time, more crypto-literacy will be available, and be much more digestible for the average person. Only with the help of the Know-Haves do the Know-Nots stand a chance of getting with the times. Funny enough, due to the tendency of most people to be followers, they command the majority. So in a way we need to educate them for the common good of all of us and to help fight some of the ridiculous injustices and wealth imbalance/greed that exists today. The focus on incentivized quality driven content is truly an amazing concept and such a beautiful thing.
I'm trying to explain SBD to me mum, and ouch!
oooph, sounds like a hard time my friend. I feel your pain though, as I am in the same boat with my parents too lol. Patience and persistence will hopefully make some headway though lol

Information is truly everything. The right information can make all the difference. A good example is cryptocurrency. Those who knew about it sooner got a better reward🤷🏽♀️
I try to chat you up on steemit chat and you are not registered?
The best part of Steemit is making new friends!
Damb baby U R SO FINE
Thanks but i'm sure i'm pretty average.
Average in Mind and Spirit?
I think not.
You don't know that, but thanks anyway.
Chat more later it's late here ... it's after 1 am.
There will be a generation in the future which will only know crypto currencies. No need to explain it. It will be normal.
We are just opening Pandoras box

Could not agree more, EXCELLENT observation my friend.
I definitely think in the future there has to be significant effort made in improving both the financial and general literacy in the world. As they often say knowledge is power, the best thing everyone can do to empower themselves is to become improve their literacy.
Yes Sir
Cryptocurrency alphabet - it's time to introduce in schools :)
You are Right About BTC ...... He doesn't know the value of btc ..........
Bye the way Long live BTC
BTC is best used, to POWER the internet of the future we WISH TO SEE HAPPEN.
MAKE IT HAPPEN AND IT WILL B
In time he will know what it means :)
and as for it seems the significance of crypto is giving value to more and more people everyday .
In near future people will love it and accept it in mass :)
Atleast I sure hope so .
Of course, and I agree, and I don't make a headline of it, but I tell my family:
Steemit is a gift to humanity. So WE ALL need to get behind that idea...
Agreed :)
Steem On and Stay with Steemit all of us :)

STEEM to the Moon and Beyond.great news.
steemit is the best treading center.it is very good for us.
upvoted
well really u are a great uncle and its so easy to explain about btc to him reason is this now the whole world know btc and want to pick btc and if u send him u just explain him small if he younger he will know it easy and sure he will hold it not sale it
For now it is easier to explain to my 80s father than my high school grad teen nephew.
One listens to me, the other thinks he knows everything already?
Not sure.. but the world is a confusing place to kids today; they have NO IDEA WTF is going on.
That seems sure. And to go through years of economic theory to base a personal philosophy upon, well it's not what I call a receptive audience so far.
I hadn’t thought of it in those terms. Interesting times we live in!

Nice post sir.You always uploads interesting and important post.I also Upvote and resteem your post.upvote and resteem done sir.And Wish you happy new year sir.
I think this is an excellent point!
yes the crypto litracy and how u explain it otherwise u say u can send 1 btc ur nephew it will be more good to introduce btc with goog gift
I'm going to say "AI BOT" and let him defend..
At least I'm hearing that some university finance classes are talking about crypto currencies now. I look at it as there are 4 basic levels to divide knowledge bases in.
Now don't get me wrong, it isn't all that simple to breakdown but that is the easy way I break it down in my head. Then obviously there are REALLY big experts out there that can make investment recommendations with ease...
Great comment.
I would like to see you have more followers!

I risk that it reaches $100 in 5 months
NO REASON it could not, but this is not the most important focus and we must continue to inspire others to join with us and participate and see the long term vision.
I'm just going to leave this here...
And this might actually be more helpful...
I actually saw a friend explain blockchain to a non-tech person and I think he did a good job. Once you've done that explaining state channels is easy...
LOVE the kids in the vid.
I have explained this many times myself, about decentralized trade, but this is wonderful with the kids asking questions.
They are growing up in a word that had a blockchain from the day they were born. Post block zero generation. After Satoshi generation. Call it what you will but I'm kind of jealous.
Fing great man!
Thx!

good post
You have to say more than "good post" or I just think you are a bot man!
I really like about posting @surfyogi
bot?
you still a great uncle,lol. your nephew might not know the value now but even better when he gets to know how valuable it is, the value would have been 100times what it is now
I'm mining with:

The time will come very soon when the blockchain technology will be included as a technical subjects in colleges.
In SOME SCHOOLS yes, definately. But keep in mind P2P economy will endanger the economic powers that have ruled this planet for thousands of years.
So there is a fight coming. Stock up and be ready.
The future really has a lot to offer us,thanks @surfyogi
Haha! @surfyogi, you nailed it and then let's look at the other end of the spectrum and let's pretend you gave it to your Grandfather, it could be the same result. We're the inbetweeners, the safe keepers for the people's futures we choose to affect who don't see the light through the trees, but will thank us for keeping it for them, when they're ready. Good point dude and resteemed.
My son told me yesterday that they are having a person coming over to college to teach the basics of cryptocurrencies. I am trying to educate my husband and son but they say its Greek to them. I told them that if I could learn, they could too. They only have to try. I get your point and sooner or later all will have to anyway. We are probably like those who talked about computers in the 70's or 80's. eventually, people will catch on..
