Mass Adoption for Crypto. A Few Thoughts of What's Standing in the Way of Freedom and Liberty. And What to Do About It.

Banks are going to continue to try to shut us down.

It is what they and governments do. They literally stand in the way of REAL Freedom and Liberty.

The key here for us is to promote the real use cases of our digital currencies. While the tech and infrastructures are important, we need to get more people on board.

They go hand in hand.

----

*Many of us in this peaceful revolution against the government and banking tyranny are not trying to change the (corrupt) system -- it is to build and work with a new system parallel to it.*

----

The more this happens, the quicker things will happen overall.

People like you and I need to ask and encourage our service providers i.e. our masseuses, barbers, restaurants, waiters/waitresses, bartenders etc.

> " Can I pay in crypto? "

We need mass adoption. That comes by way of step by step adoption.

- Mass adoption is years away. Infrastructure, utility applications, easy interfaces, atomic swaps, instant transfers, low transaction fees and a new generation of young people growing up with crypto currencies as a standard transaction tool will lead towards mass adoption.

Now is the time to accumulate and HODL.

Most people are not traders.

-- Be patient. Cryptos day will come friends!

A low hanging fruit for crypto is online advertising.  

I've been looking for ways to rip the Adsense Ads off my site and replacing them with direct ads and made [a pathetic attempt to sell ads](https://steemit.com/advertising/@yintercept/the-thermodynamics-of-steemit) at a 25 cent CPC (that's 40 ads for a penny). 

Steemit might be decent  platform for buying and selling adspace. It would pull money into the community.
