RE: Promoting Steemit: You're Doing It Wrong!
I was trying to convince my friend Gary over lunch today to join Steemit and I think the Tokens, rather than money explanation might be just what I need to get him aboard.
I also didn't know answers to questions like, what if the US dollar price falls, what if bitcoin falls. I just write content and get steem, I don't 'understand' the mechanics of it (yet).
The value of Steem is related to these things in so much as markets are connected. Just because the real estate market crashes, that doesn’t mean that the tech market will crash as well, although the two could coincide. Many currencies are expressed in US dollars, but they can also be expr seed in other currencies. If the value of Steem is expressed as $3.00 and the dollar weakens, the value of Steem would appear to rise.
Basically, what it comes down to is, what have you got to lose? Instead of watching TV, write a post, leave a few comments, and slowly accumulate something that has value. Or don’t.
I find that people are either ready to try this or they aren’t. For those who aren’t, it doesn’t matter how much explaining you do, they won’t join or stick with it.
me too, but am trying to
That's something you have to work on @hopehuggs
