The hardest thing is to be patient, not all things come as soon as you plan.... But when you try every day ... then soon you get what you want get. 

***Be Patient.***

I tend to relate cryptocurrencies to common electronic currencies like Air Miles or Frequent Flyer Points.  

The folks I've talked to have no problem with Air Miles and how you can collect them by making purchases using the card.  

For the true beginners, they don't need to understand the intricacies of blockchain and hash rates.  They simply need to know that if they do something, they have the possibility of gaining a tiny bit of electronic currency.  After a while, it may add up to something.

I usually remind them that they've never made a penny on Facebook or the Facebook games.  ;-P

The hardest thing is deciding what to buy. Obviously you want BTC, ETH, & LTC but there are plenty of promising altcoins as well

You can bring the horse to the river but you can't.........

All of this is hard for me. I'm new to crypto through steem. I just put my head down and blog. I think the emphasis here on steem should be helping the little guys that are here now and trying. We get enough people in the door each day not to have to worry about finding a few more among our friends. 

We have a 95% kill rate on STEEM. 

I think if the effort to talk to people who are not here was instead focused on helping those that ARE here and new, we would do better in the long run. For every 45 rep steemer that turns into a 60 rep steemer, we get a bigger bang for the buck. 

We have 100's or thousands of little people like that, gasping for attention right now. If they all become successful, steem will thrive and the naysayers will be here without us having to beg them.

The toughest thing for me in crypto is getting to invest in right coins. I have got burnt severally which I wouldn't want to again. Just last month, a friend advised me to buy some Veil coins which I did. I have been in profits.

Mine was privacy but all thanks to veil for making it a success. With veil, privacy is assures.
