Seriously, I would get a better reception if I just punched them in the face instead of trying to pitch Hive.
You made me laugh hard with this line. !LOLZ.
I just agree with your point. For some one who doesn't know what decentralisation is and how it works it is difficult to let them understand. Even if things make sense to them why the hack they should leave the old systems when they are fully comfortable with it. Change in our attitudes and behaviors do not come from mere knowledge but from the motivation. Money is one of the biggest motivation for anything we would want to do it. The easiest way to bring people to hive is to simply say
Heyyyy, the things that you are doing for free on other social media would bring you money if you do them on Hive.
