RE: We're Still Outrageously Early Adopters
OK a) I've never even heard of coinjoin before this, so thanks for that, I will have to check it out. :D
But b) you make a great point. When I'm trying to explain Steem/crypto/blockchain to other people (and I'm not a techie, either), they're generally looking at me like I've fallen for the Nigerian Prince scam, or just smiling and nodding like I am coocoo for Cocoa Puffs. Then I say that I think blockchain now is like what internet was in the early-mid 90s, and they start to think twice. I mean, I started on AOL in 1996, and non-internet people were making fun of "imaginary friends in your computer" the same way that people make fun of "magic money in your computer" regarding crypto now. Only a select few adventurers are venturing forth into the wild new territory, but very quickly it can alter everything.
LOL! Yeah, I guess all the actual scams in the crypto space don’t help any. But one day our faith will be borne out to be true. In the meantime the trick is to get our families to get some so that we don’t wind up being seen as the money pot for our entire family.

Hahaha, I can only imagine. I have always been The Poor One. I mean, family members have declared bankruptcy, but they all generally lived beyond their means on credit so they didn't look poor, whereas I don't have that going on. XD
