Gold? Hows is gold a pyramid scheme? Gold is the world's oldest stable bubble.
A funny fellow. Clearly not the sharpest tool in the box. Firstly, he engages in an inept attempt to chat you up, acts rudely and proves himself to be clueless as a cherry on top. As if the cold water weren't enough. At least you had an opportunity to spread the good word.
When I encountered a lady walking her dog at the lake last month who started talking to me about photography as she saw me shooting lake shots I had a more positive experience. When she asked whether I was going to publish my photos on Instragram, I had a perfect opportunity to tell her than I ain't publishing anything for free these days. I covered a wide range of topics from how social media companies have conned billions of people into being voluntary workers for them to gain market caps in the trillions put together to how decentralization also means full control over your content and uncensorability.
Admittetly, it wasn’t a long conversation so I didn’t give him the chance to fully explain how he grouped all these completely unrelated events together, but it was something negative. And he wasn’t trying to be rude, just completely inept on how to talk to a lady who knows internet is more than Instagram. I think he wasn’t prepared for that, poor fella.
It’s wonderful when you happen to meet someone by chance and have a good conversation, it’s just rare. Though, if one were to talk to strangers more than once a month, the probability for an interesting conversation would be higher.
As an extrovert who works from home I often feel a compulsion to engage strangers in a conversation if an opportunity presents itself. That's a big reason why I'm on Steem, by the way. I most likely never would've found my way here if it weren't for @gamer00 who told me about Steem in February 2017.
Sentiment was pretty low on Steem back then because I remember even @gamer00 talking about it somewhat negatively back then. Partly because of that and the fact that I was busy with other stuff, I never really delved into altcoins including STEEM back then, which would've been superb move in retrospect.
Actual LOL!
I know right, and he talked down to me 😂
His talking down to you may have been some sort of a misguided and feeble attempt at boosting his own status as it sounds as if he were trying to chat you up. ;)
Definitely.
