Cryptocurrency Awareness, Adoption Then Diffusion
Chances are, you probably don't run into a lot of people on the street that have even heard of bitcoin yet. Though awareness is increasing, blockchain technology is still a new concept. We as people, are creatures of habit and have a hard time adapting to change. Look how long the internet took to gain large-scale adoption and diffuse to become the 'norm'.
World Wide Web introduced in 1991 and two years later the White House and United Nations go online. It wasn't until 2000 till the dot-com bubble burst and DNS like .com, .net, .gov were introduced in 1983!
Excitement Is Contagious! Break The Ice
Business cards are a great ice-breaker for introducing a business or opportunity. In this case, we are opening the door to a paradigm shift in the way we communicate, shop, socialize and pay for goods or services. Blockchain technology has a ton of potential, but the learning curve is still pretty steep.
Typically when you hand someone a business card, they'll ask what it's all about or what you do? What a great opportunity to tell them you get paid to write articles, post art or just for participating in a social platform! Chances are, they will feed off your energy level; it's hard not to get excited about the opportunities this technology creates.
