A few days ago I met and spoke with some friends of mine about the new innovative social that is steemit and I tried to explain them how does it work.
When I spoke about cryptocurrency and in specific about BTC they asked me: "do you have bitcoins? Don't you know that criminal have BTC and you can use that on darksites?" I tried to explain them that with BTC you may buy any kind of services legal and illegal exactly as you can do with euros or dollars or any currency. That there are a lot of legal activities around us that accepts btc (I showed them "quibitcoin" an Italian app where you can find the nearest shop that accepts btc).
They where surprised about my explanation but I think they need some more knowledge and experience to trust
in cryptocurrency.
I think that media succeded on their disinformation campaign about cryptocurrency and probably it's for this reason that steemit has a lot of problems raising up new account in some countries.
I'd like that every people reading this article would write a comment about his/her BTC experience so I may show to all my friends that there is a great community that use BTC in his normal and legal life.
Thank you very much
