This past Saturday my wife and I were hanging out at home watching some TV when she came across a very interesting post in her Facebook feed.
I would venture to guess several people on here have come across a similar post in the past month or so. In fact, I know you have, because there have been a handful of posts on Leo talking about this very topic.
One of my wife's old friends had just taken the dive into Cryptocurrency and was on Facebook shouting to the rafters how she can't believe she didn't do this sooner and how everyone else is going to be so sorry they didn't jump on board.
I had to laugh a little when I found out that she was investing in ETH. She is going to be in for a rude awakening when she tries to make a transaction or exit and the gas fees are so high that she starts to wonder where all of her money went.
Do you remember those days of unbridled excitement at the potential of cryptocurrency? Don't get me wrong, I am still excited about blockchain and cryptocurrency, but it is for totally different reasons now than it was before.
What was once a giddy excitement at the thought of getting rich quick, is now a profound excitement at the shear possibility and potential of blockchain.
Do I stand to make some money in cryptocurrency? Probably. Will I become rich from it? Doubtful. I guess a lot of that is pretty relative. What does equate to much for us here in the states could be a big deal to someone in Africa or Central/South America.
I am not friends with this person myself, so part of me wanted my wife to tell them about Leo Finance or Hive. I didn't want to put my wife in that position though, so I just had her give me updates through the rest of the weekend as she posted.
The funniest one was on Sunday morning when she was talking about how she made $80 bucks just by walking through the local drug store. Apparently she has the funds staked somehow and she is brining in some multiplier rewards. She posted a picture, but I couldn't tell the platform she was using. My initial thought had been she was just using Paypal since it is the most accessible method to most people these days.
Anyway, have you been seeing a lot of these posts lately? The "guys, you really need to check out this whole cryptocurrency thing". Are you the one that is posting them? Are you trying to guide them when you see those posts or are you just letting them learn the hard way like we had to?
I have posted some stuff on my Facebook feed in the past, but it usually falls on deaf ears. With the sudden boom maybe things will be different now. I might throw one of my Coinbase earn links out the and see if I get any takers.
