I have tried to explain blockchain in a hundred different ways to many people. But it doesn’t matter if I explain it in a technical way or in the simplest way I can. It never really clicks.
And I do understand why. I have been in this space for almost 5 years now. Everything I know I thought myself. I never had help.
In this time, I had so much time to think about blockchain that I became absolutely sure it would change the world.
It’s my biggest Passion.
But sadly, most of the time, passion is not enough to convince anyone about blockchain.
They have to use it.
My dad’s biggest passion besides his job is steam trains. He has a whole house dedicated to it. With pictures and little toy trains as the theme for the house.
Can you imagine having the vision back in those days that steam trains would change the world. And not only that but telling people that they should get into railway stocks in a time when everyone was using horse and carriage.
They must have thought you were insane.
In 2004 my dad and I visited the US for a road trip. We also checked out his passion. This is 18 years old me, insecure and no confidence. It took me another 10 years to find it. I'm stronger, bigger and more confident than ever now. I'll never go back.
STEEM is blockchains usable train.
Most people can’t see the power of new technology until they use it.
Until you step on that train for the first time and can see and feel for yourself how powerful the new technology is most wouldn't have believed it.
Traveling on that train between two cities, many time faster than before and way more comfortable must have quickly convinced anyone that trains were going to be the future.
STEEM is blockchains usable train for anyone to ride. It’s the only blockchain technology where it is possible for a normal person to feel that it’s the future by simply using it. And it's free.
And yes, it might be a little crude here and there. But it works. It will only get better.
Step on the train.
A friend of mine recently joined Steemit and started writing (stepped on the train). It’s only been 5 days and he’s asking me to explain everything to him.
He realized already there is something magical there although he doesn't understand yet how it works exactly.
I’m sure when he gets his first payout in 2 days it will all become even more real for him.
Steemit has done more to convinced him than I ever could by talking about it.
