Our decentralized system here hasn't proven to be that conducive to educating everyone about anything...
I think you hit the nail on the head here. Education is something that we fell completely flat with. We, as a community, set unfair expectations especially those who are marketing the blockchain on YT and FB. They are setting people up for failure.
We need to do a better job of explaining what the blockchain is about and why we are involved in it. Also, there needs to be reasonable expectations drawn by the community for newer people.
People will usually adjust and embrace what is laid out as long as they are not misled. Some might leave immediately but most will understand. That is much better than them finding out later and feeling conned.
Yes. So, how would you go about that? If basically it's the community's task to take and run with, how do we create a cohesive—speak as one one voice—kind of message that isn't centralized and isn't misleading. And how do we account for the rogues who are going to go off and do their ego trips, while bringing in the dozens, hundreds, thousands—whatever the tally is?
I mean, some of those folks get discredited here, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're discredited quickly, or are discredited at all elsewhere.
We need non-centralized, one voice message non-police, too. :)
