RE: Why I don't tell my friends and family about Hive
It's baffling to see the extent that people get addicted to the various web 2 social networks even at the expense of their money and time.
The other day I met someone while traveling a 4-hour journey on a commercial bus in Nigeria. He was scrolling through one web 2 social media through out the period of the journey.
At some point I was so impatient and I started to talk with him about web 3 social dApps that will reward him with Knowledge, money,financial discipline, and freedom.
Knowledge in the sense that, you build your creativity and know more about crypto.
Money in the sense that you get paid crypto through socialising.
Financial discpline in the sense you'll learn the principles of delayed gratification by growing your stake + APR.
The moment I mentioned crypto, he rebelled against the idea of leaving web 2 that he has grown accustomed to.
People have grown so comfortable with the web 2 social networks and are willing to kill (yes, the word is Kill) their money, time and opportunities to remain on them.
Part of this has to do with the massive marketing budgets of the networks and I truly believe that the web 3 platforms have to apply similar marketing tactics.
Thank you.

Thanks for sharing your story!
You say that you think people are just comfortable on Web2 platforms like Facebook and I'd agree.
Never pitch LeoFinance as a 'Facebook alternative' because they don't want to leave where all the action is.
It's just another community that they can use alongside their Web2 network of choice, offering everything else you told him and he seemed receptive to.
I do laugh that as soon as we mention the word crypto it's like the conversation immediately turns toxic haha.

The level of hatred for crypto, from my point of view, can be pinned to,
These have made many people to develop a closed mind towards the crypto industry.
They have a notion that crypto is always associated with scam.
