Such a common thing with so many of us: our RL friends are not here (yet). Kinda like in the early 90s, when only the nerdy kids from the computer club had e-mail address. Ten years later came the "my mom is on fb" moment.
But just like with the horse that you can lead to the water, it must be their own choice to take the first step. Just in the last two weeks I managed to get two RL friends excited, and even onboarded them... Now waiting for their intro post. I've even offered 10 HIVE to the first one to post anything. Let's see if the excitement lasts.
That's so true. I remember Microsoft messaging... I couldn't get people near me on it but gee I has great conversations with people from all over the world I met on my travels. Now I can't leave Facebook as it's only way to stay in touch with family yet all my cool international friends are on HIVE or WhatsApp!!!
