I told several people about crypto and they just don't get it. In the United States, our payment systems are easy to use and reliable. Trying to get people to use cryptocurrencies has been difficult in my experience.

A few weeks ago, I offered to give 3 of my co-workers Bitcoin (very small amounts). Only one person took me up on my offer. They are computer programmers, so lack of intelligence is not the issue. They are just not interested.

As a community, we must appeal to the WIIFM factor. Combine that with a tasks people perform already, then it is a win win. Steemit solves these issues for people who post on social media.
