RE: A Christmas "Crypto" Carol... Or Something to that Effect

in #steem7 years ago

Coming from a Christmas gathering last night, I went through the same thing with multiple people. Back then, I used crypto talk as sort of a bedtime story for people like my dad, but now whenever they remember that I knew about it, it's like they were suddenly shot with adrenaline.

I was prepared though. I devised a simple to understand explanation of how blockchains work, but they really didn't care all that much about the technology behind it. All they cared about was how to trade, when to trade and what to trade. All they knew was the buzz coins BTC, ETH and LTC.

A part of me was annoyed, but a part of me kept grinning that smug "I told you so" look. I hope you and @rea has a wonderful holiday!

That's the things, bro. We literally used to get laughed in our faces at how ridiculous we were. Almost as if we had joined some weird futuristic cult and were lost in some temporary alternate world! I hate to say it... but how the tables have turned. Don't get me wrong, I wish them the best. But man, if only they would have added a sprinkling of "open-mindedness and foresight" to our mad ravings. Well, there may just have been some truth contained deep within our words. It seems you and I know the feeling only too well...

Merry Xmas, my awesome brother! To you, @randomli and the rest of the family... All my love 'n' blessings! :)

Yea, isn't that annoying when they Don't wish 2 know much about the technology behind it !

It's like Geez, take the time to READ about Blockchain ! Lazy bones
