Tell me about it! I'm so tired & burn't out talking with family members and close buddies.  All they do is judge off of your current situation and the material things 0ne has .  I'm however am looking for like-minded individuals such as myself, who are visionaries and who understand the possibilities.  Listen to what I am saying and do your research based off of what I said so that maybe you(ppl) can use it to your advantage as you may be in a better situation to do so!  
You tell them that they(we) can get paid by doing exactly the same damn thing they are already doing on other popular social media platforms and yet still, they act as if they don't care why, because it's not "popular"!  If they read and get involved, they will know exactly where this is headed!  I always hear ppl saying they wish they won the lottery 0r they wish they had purchased stock@a major company when it was dirt cheap - Well, here we are!  If you don't see where this digital space is going, then I don't know what else to say!

There is also the barrier to using crypto to withdrawal into BTC. 

Just need an SBD/STEEM debit card now.

there is a barrier... it´s just not handy for most people i know. no editor, no app, no upload... compare with wp

I really wish concepts (such as steem which looks promising) would STOP USING the insanity of modeling things after the concept of "inflation" (interest, usery) which is an artificial finance invention which has created so much  pain and suffering in the world, to enrich bankers over all others. Surely a team as innovative as steem can come up with a MUCH better model than just patterning after "inflation"! Jeesh...
