Blockchain, How to avoid sounding crazy to Grandma and Grandpa.

Blockchain, to some it may sound like something a child asks for around Christmas time. Its actually far more complicated than that. For the sake of simplicity, today I will explain blockchain in a manner that you could share with a Grandparent, or a parent so that even they could have a just understanding of how great this technology actually is. Speaking from experiance it is frustrating trying to explain to someone who thinks your crazy talking about anything Crypto related and just dismiss you as if you lost your mind. My goal is to help you avoid sounding crazy to yours. Ok so first of all in order to understand blockchain, we have to understand that bitcoin, ethereum, or litecoin is not blockchain. These cryptocurrencies only utilize the technology of blockchain. With that said blockchain in its simplest form is a ledger that is shared among thousands of people who participate in these currency options. Every transaction is recorded by people who operate what are called nodes. "People who voluntarily operate as what Grandma would understand as a notary. These notaries record every transaction and converse with each other until there is consensus that a transaction has taken place as far as cryptocurrencies go. Blockchain can also be utilized for other applications but thats another conversation. Make sure you allow them there due time to understad and if they have questions be as clear an concise as you can be. There will of course be more conservative people that wont care and allow you to talk even though they could care less. It's best to accept not everyone will understand. Obviously there loss. Best of luck to anyone struggling with this issue.
