RE: STEEM: Ask It And I Will Try To Answer It.....Let's Hear What Is On Your Minds
How would you explain blockchain technology to a 76 year old?
How would you explain blockchain technology to a 76 year old?
Blockchain is a network like any other network we use. We have networks at work, at home, at mcds...we have wifi for our tv, cellular for out phone. In the future, we will have blockchains for social networking, to listen to the radio, search engines, and for tv (I would guess).
The difference is blockchain is so it is decentralized meaning it is outside the control of any one company or government. All visa transactions are on visa servers which can get hacked. All bitcoin transactions are on thousands of computers around the world.
Then turn on youtube videos (at least until DTube has that information on it).
Thanks. Gonna try this out on my folks when they come to visit tomorrow. If their eyes start to get that far-off glossy kinda look while I'm talking I'm just going to say, "Oh, look at what the kitty is doing! He is soooo cute!"
LOL @summertooth.
That is why I use manna as a way to break the ice with people. I simply send them my referral code, tell them to sign up, that it is free currency available to all...and then help them to start researching...once involved, they seem to get interested.

Here is a list of 6 videos that was meant to be sort of a Dash for dummies. One of my friends were pissed about the videos for treating her like a kid. So it might work on a bunch of old people. Good luck spreading the gospel of blockchain :-)

Just watched all 6. These are perfect for ANYONE a bit (or totally) confused about blockchain. Thanks a lot @vimukthi!
Happy to help. Make sure you get them into alt-coins because 2018 will be the year of alt-coins. Bitcoin on top of being a piece of garbage, is also kind of mainstream now. Dash is exactly where Bitcoin was at the end of 2016. There are some smaller projects with much better potential growth like WTC, SONM, MCO etc.
For a mobile wallet I use jaxx.io because you can sync it on every single platform and it does feature many coins and it's easy to use. http://www.exodus.io/ is good for the PC
