RE: Tired of Trying to Convince my People to Get Involved with Crypto!
Wow seems like through your attempt to share the world of crypto with others you are now able to see who your true friends are. I’ve been in crypto less than you.. about 3 months. As soon as I got on board I told everyone I knew about it. I know there is a huge learning curve with cryptocurrencies so I have repeatedly told people to get involved. For me people have only started taking notice after I sent them screenshots of my current portfolio value. Even then I had to stress to them that I spent less than $500 investing and have already made close to $4000. It is hard to see such a great return in a short time with anything else so that’s when they start to pay attention. Yet and still my experiences seem to fall on deaf ears. But that’s quite alright because when my cryptos start to really take off and they are looking for a handout or stuck with their jaws dropped in disbelief, I will have the grand honor of being able to say “I told you so!”. People are too skeptical and those that are close minded won’t get far. We can try and guide them as much as we can but we can’t lead a horse to water and force it to drink it.
@daqueend Thank you for taking the time to leave a beautiful, thoughtful and wise comment. I totally agree wtih everything you said. At least we will have the honor of being able to say ''I told you so'' as you said, or have the moral satisfaction of at least trying to help them.
Your post was so relatable it was a must that I left a comment. I know how it feels to be ignored when you are just trying to share wisdom and help others. Just know you aren’t alone
@daqueend I noticed you have Steem tokens and Steem Dollars (SBD) sitting in your account, and I also noticed that you're a new member so I suppose you don't know how to use them. My advice for you is this: go to your Steem and select ''Power Up'', then turn it all into Steem Power.
Steem Dollars (SBD) are worth approximately 10 USD right now, hit the ''market'' button next to your ''Steem Dollars''and you will be redirected to the internal market where you can sell them for Steem which you should then turn into Steem Power again.
You can also hit the ''sell'' option and you will be redirected to blocktrades, where you can trade your Steem Dollars (SBD) for BTC, ETH, BTS, LTC or Steem/ Steem Power.
Hope this comment helped.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Thank you for the advice. I was a little unsure of what to do with the Steem as far as powering up. I will folllow your advice. I greatly appreciate it!!
Your Steem Dollars is worth at least 60 bucks as well, you should use that too ;) It would double your account value if you traded it for Steem. Or you could sell that for cryptocurrency through blocktrades!
Super duper great advice! I just traded it for Steem and saw the value nearly double. Thank you soooo much for this valuable information.
My pleasure :)
