RE: Trying to explain to family what blockchain & crypto is all about!
Decentralised is the key word in all of this for sure and I did try dropping it in a few times but it seems that even this word needs to come with a little explanation so that people understand the power structure of the world today and how this relates to the right old mess our planet is in!
I suppose they have to first believe that there really is a BIG problem with the governing bodies now and not just think there are a few issues, but for the most part we will be looked after by these.
I'm often surprised teaching high school students at just how strongly they hold to what they've been taught, as if these outside institutions are a direct extension of themselves. There is a protective wall that arises in defense and really it probably will take them researching on their own before perceptions change.
Interesting observation with the students. I can see how much Esteban (3 years) enjoys watching police cars or fire trucks in cartoons saving people and solving the problems... which i suppose is the first step to a feeling that we are being looked after by governing bodies.
