how do y’all deal with IRL crypto sceptics?

today at a pre wedding dinner i ended up having a crypto convo 🫣

(which is just as bad as talking about religion or politics)

it’s cos i mentioned im going to cannes so it was kinda unavoidable

 i was put under the spotlight to answer these questions

- what’s a usecase for the blockchain apart from those “ape NFTs”
- facebook invested billions in the metaverse and that was a fail so why do people still bother?
- what’s the point of crypto when it’s so volatile?
- who’s using it every day?
- why is it better than normal banking? 
- whats the point of a “crypto social media” if tiktok pays creators already?
- you can’t pay for this dinner using crypto if you offered the waiter stablecoin it would be impossible 

bro worked in finance aswell so it was like an exam phew 

im pretty sure i passed the exam but was quite eye opening to see a different perspective

everyone ive ever spoken to irl (usually my age) have been super interested so it was first time having an experience like this

hi im naomi i’m an athlete and creator!

I kind of understand skeptics. Majority of individuals in the blockchain community are in it for money and the builders feel the need to appeal to that to generate traction for their apps. 

Kudos to the people building things that solve actual problem and push for a decentralized internet.
