Yeah it's very true. I talked about bitcoin for quite some time before I could convince anyone they should look into it. But I have found that persistence is key. I now have about 10 people in my office who have bought bitcoin, eth, ICOs, and a few friends have joined steemit.
It may take some time, but I'm going to push the Steemit platform to the bjj community as much as I can. I have some interesting ideas for outreach. The first key is to the name and logo out there, but in a way that jiu jitsu people recognize. Hence the logo for this account. People know the triangle logo, whether it's for Gracie, or any other liniage. Three points of base is a staple in jiu jitsu, combined with the three points of Steemit.
I will get the logo out there and begin building on it.
