What changes does cryptoculture bring to your life?

The reality is that knowing that there are investment options and that they can bring a good margin of profit in the short term, although risky at times, has led me to opt for this type of investment, although I still continue to work at steemit, because I consider it to be something more medium to long term. Cryptoculture has led me to be a little more objective and analytical in what I do, to avoid losses, but at the same time to be a little more risky. It has also allowed me to send money to my mother and grandmother from outside my country of origin without the need for complex processes.

What is your favorite currency?

This question encompasses several nuances, and I could make a post or more than one specifically about it. However, I must say that since I entered the world of cryptography my usual currency has been STEEM, but, in these last 6 months I have been very interested in learning about the universe of TRON, since it allows many things, starting with the smart contracts, the speed of transactions, now with the DeFi system developing in it, I think it also has much to offer, in addition it occupies one of the first places within the top of the cryptographic world. However, I am still very focused on Steem.

Now yes, this question I think is the most important in this post, or at least the one that allows to make approaches that could perhaps offer solutions that have a greater impact in the massive adoption of cryptocurrencies:

How can we make companies accept cryptocurrency as payment? Share stories about how you have made payment through cryptocurrency.

EDUCATE TO MASSIFY

I see a big problem that limits its massive adoption, and this is lack of education in the matter of Blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Come on, investing money in something that you don't understand is something that few people do, and if you are also guided by news of scams that abound on the net, hacking from some important exchange platform, prohibitions in some countries, you would probably stay away from this, obviously, but, on the other hand there is also a lot of news that talks about people who got rich quickly with cryptocurrencies, who live from a constant income in a passive way, among other things, that surely makes many people want to get in.

I think the main thing at this point is to get people educated about it, and I'm not talking about all of them becoming specialists, without them being able to understand the basic processes to take advantage of this new financial world and have their money run as little risk as possible, is something I consider vital here. I live in Colombia, and to several people I have talked to about this, the first thing they say to me is "do you have to bring people in to earn something", many have this concept of "earning by referral", for example. Only that can keep them away from entering the world of cryptography.

That's why I consider that one way to promote the massive adoption of cryptocurrencies is for the common person to understand what it is all about from the most basic things such as the use of passwords, advice on network security, handling within exchange platforms (how to buy and sell), in the end that is something we all do in our daily lives.

If a businessman who works with imports, we allow him to know, for example, the use of a currency like Ripple that allows him to make a transaction from his country to any place in the world, without intermediaries, practically without charging any commission and in addition immediately, he will surely not hesitate to use it, as long as the other person is also instructed in this aspect. Even Steem fulfills these conditions that allows fast transfers with zero commission, characteristics that could facilitate its adoption as an exchange currency.

In short, I consider that disinformation is one of the main obstacles for people to adopt the use of cryptocurrencies as something habitual or everyday like Fiat money, and that's why I see that we have to start here to be able to solve it.

This has been my participation in this challenge, I hope I have been clear in my opinion.

Thanks @steemitblog for this opportunity.
