Yesterday I spend most of the day with my brother.
He's the dad of Juliet, my niece. (the owner of a little bit of bitcoin).
We always see each other at family events but rarely do we spend some quality time together.
This week he's off from work.
I drove to his place yesterday at around 12:00.
Opening the door I was greeted by Juliet!
She was over the moon!
Santa had brought her a huge Barbie Camper.
She showed it to me.
I was impressed!
For fun I told her.
"Do you know you own some bitcoin!"
She looked at me silly.
She couldn't give a rats ass :)
It made laugh.
Soon after we went for a walk to the playground.
My brother has a lot of trouble understanding where the value comes from of a STEEM token or a Bitcoin for that matter.
Therefore it must most likely be a bubble.
And from that viewpoint, it's actually understandable why one would think this.
Now, I talk about this crypto stuff almost weekly in my vlogs and think about it every single day.
For me, it's clear that it's not.
But my brother has no time to watch or read any of it. He works 60-80 hours a week and also needs time for his family.
There is therefore not much time left to really look into it. (and when you do hear about it it's probably from the news or the paper where they say it's a bubble, strengthening the believe you already had).
But we had time yesterday so, I took him through the basics here while walking.
And then slowly let him to the STEEM blockchain and why I believe it's a winner. (3 second block times, no fees, scalable, development, monetization of the Blockhain and SMT's....to name a few...)
I must have done something right because by the end of it he wanted to invest.
He bought 100 STEEM of me yesterday and we sent it to his account to start with and he wants to gradually buy some more. (the way I always buy).
Pretty cool stuff.
I don't think he will ever blog (no time). But at least he's on the blockchain now :)
I'm currently looking for ways to give him some ROI on his investment.
If you have any suggestions let me know.
