And man were we excited to get talking!
There we were, just ,
,
and my "bodyguard"
. We had just finished up the first episode of CRYPTO TALK LIVE at the MOTIV Radio Studios in Houston, TX and we were hungry.
We stopped in a Niko Niko's to order some food, but something interesting happened when we went to pay for the meal.
I pulled out my ShiftCard and pulled out his BitPay card. Although the BitPay card lost that round and I ended up paying, our cashier recognized them both and soon we were talking crypto.
Over the past year, I've certainly made some purchases with my ShiftCard, but this was the first time that someone actually knew what it was. Perhaps it was just because I wasn't out in the middle of nowhere where I live and was in the fourth largest city in the US, but regardless of how it happened, it was certainly cool!
MEETING @YROMAN
As cool as it was meeting someone else who was into crypto, made it even cooler because of his excitement about it. One of the first things he told me when he saw my ShiftCard was "Don't spend your BTC!"
Like many of us, believes that BTC will climb much higher, and I cannot argue with his advice. The five of us took turns talking excitingly after
took our order, and, interestingly enough,
had even heard of steemit before.
However, they guy who told him about steemit didn't really explain it that well, so we tried to present him with a more accurate understanding. It wasn't too long before he was actually posting on steemit, so that is super encouraging. He's got some learning to do, but he's here and he's active, plus and myself both have his number, so we may be doing a little coaching.
To meet someone so excited about crypto on the street was a new experience for me. I was glad to not only get to meet , but that we could also encourage him more to check out steemit.
I was especially encouraged when he came out to request this photo with us. I looked over at the other steemians and said, "This guy already thinks like a steemian!" I went a step further and took a few selfies with him, just in case I wanted to make a post like this.
So, has this ever happened to you? Have you ever randomly met someone else who was into crypto? If so, how did you meet, what did you discuss and are you still in contact with them?
Also, I'll try to encourage to do an "official" intro post soon, so please join me in welcoming him into our community and help me in showing him how amazing of a platform steemit really is!
As always, I'm
and here's the proof:
Until next time…
