My favorite time of the year is just around the corner. Intense vibes, scents and people coming out of their birds nests and engaging with random conversations in public.
At a bus station I met someone using instagram and i spoke to her about steemit and how cool the partiko app is. When i showed it, she said ‚its just like Instagram.‘ i showed her how much cooler it is. She asked me if I upload pictures that i take with my ‚sony a 7r ii‘ that i had on me. I said ‚yes‘ and explained curation and how the steemit eco-system works.
As soon as we entered the bus, four people randomly joined our conversation. I was trying to explain the exchange of value and the ‚proof of brain‘ consensus mechanism. I went on trying to elaborate the macro economical impact of blockchain technology. The change factor of marginal individualism creates marginal utility and promotes a more productive society of creators rather than consumers. How it affects value exchange in general and that it’s defined by a community and people to produce the value for an economy together. In an attempt to explain why we were having an interesting conversation, I pointed out sharing value. Exchange of value is scarce to only the people that specifically agree on something to be valuable within a community. When i said resources are scarce too, i got more people’s attention.
One guy on his seat said. ‚Man, whats the name of this platform?‘
I never mentioned crypto currencies. Bitcoin has its reputation and the ‚proof of work‘ consensus mechanism mining operations have large energy consumption. Uranium is still a very largely debated topic amongst anti technology environmentalists that have a FOMO type anti crypto attitude too. Switzerland still uses mostly nuclear power, so this is a sensitive topic.
Here i am spreading DLT trends subconsciously through word of mouth. I wonder how many people signed up that day.
I used a 24mm lens with a macro filter.
