Crypto doesnt have a "Crypto" problem it has a people problem.

DISCUSSION

We all know how most people who dont invest or use crypto see it from the outside but i dont believe this is a problem with crypto it self more due to the type of people they come across more often shilling it.

As most of us here dont enjoy the Shitcoin, DogCoins and even LRC shillers as of late thats what the average person comes across on social media and the news. The moonboys, CryptoBros, NFTBros and the scams.

You then have the people who will tell you its going to change the world, end Fiat all together, be your own bank, BitCoin Standard etc. To the outside person thats batshit crazy.

The way this sub reacts to these groups with disdain is how other people see the whole sphere. They dont know the tech because the tech is rarely ever promoted and the cryptos with the "best" marketing are the DogCoins which serve no real purpose yet a lot of people know they exist.

Until peoples attitudes change around how they promote and discuss it mass adoption will take longer than anyone believes. If any solution is possible apart from waiting it out and growing in time what do you think it would be?

Fiat has a people problem as well. That’s not going to change. What might change is accessibility and ease of use to usher in new users.

If mass adoption takes longer I’m gonna have more time to buy crypto I believe in.

Silver lining I guess.

Thats the only real solution i can see at the moment if im being honest. Waiting it out until the "hype" crowd dies down or gets out weighed by the people wanting to understand and learn more about the space.

I think once more governments start accepting it is here to stay the "normal" folk will be more inclined to take part but i fear that comes with regulation to an extent.

I actually don't care at all about mass adoption.

Mass adoption means your brother in law talking in xmas dinner about how he made 12% on his last months trading

It means your dad asking you to put those seeds somewhere safe

It means regulations,tv talking shit on it,politicians using cheap demagogy

As long as I make money I don't care about mass adoption. And so far,so good. Whoever wants in can get in already

You’re not wrong

Does it make something people already do faster/better/cheaper? Does it make something possible they couldn’t do before (also fast/better/cheap)? When we get to yes, mass adoption will follow.

The thing is though some already do that but its never the ones that make the news or get promoted anywhere.

Thats not to say they are bad projects its more so the type of people that make the most noise are the ones shilling the worst aspects of crypto.

I sense that most people who are truly disconnected from the bitcoin/crypto sphere aren't even investing in stocks. At least in my social circle, it's quite shocking how uninformed most folks are regarding crypto. I'm in my late 20's and know of only one person who is currently mining, with only two others who invested in 2018 and seemingly lost interest.

It seems the people I associate with that know even anything about crypto tend to have a solid footing investing in stocks, and even they aren't convinced of the opportunity here. They're a bit more likely to ask questions or appear interested but still no moves to invest long term.

I think most people would be smart to invest a small percentage of their income into btc/eth, and if they ask my opinion, thats all I try to say. People are apprehensive. Not much we can do about that. I still feel early and I think things will begin changing at a rapid pace as adoption slowly picks up.

It’s ok, most innovation are met with resistance. That’s normal process.

Lol it’s not just crypto. This is everywhere. Look at the stock market. Hell it’s capitalism at its finest and unfortunately crypto is doing nothing to decouple from capitalism. It may help re-distribute some wealth but it’s still working within the greater social system

The difference i see with stocks though apart from the obvious adoption is meme stocks are few and far between but meme cryptos and the like are a dime a dozen.

But you can see it with all stocks. Look at the APPL fan club or Tesla fanboys. Or look at advertising in general. Some people are crazy over apple products. I think shilling is embedded in our society. We just see it more here cause these are the parts we frequent

Time and again, humans are the weakness in computerized security systems.

It stands to reason that humans would be the weak link in crypto too.

If mass adoption takes longer, it is an opportunity to bag some of my favorite gems then. A perfect time to keep adding ETH DOT SYS BNB ALGO and BTC
