Teenagers and crypto

For so long I have been attempting to get my close friends into crypto. I have only managed to get 3 of my closest friends to make wallets, and so far only 1 has stuck w/ it. For my family even, I have resorted to making my 2yr old niece a BTC wallet on my own, because my sister thinks crypto is some MLM scheme. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Its hard to convince most friends to even drop a hundred or two$ on a possible huge chunk of $ for their child's future. **Insane**. I guess its just people either being slaves to the financial system set up for us, thinking somehow crypto is some sort of a scam, or just not wanting to try something new. I still dont get it. So now I am trying a different approach... Its working better than I could have imagined For the past month, I have been asking every one of my friends teens I run into if they know what bitcoin or cryptocurrency is. 98% of them say yes. They **ALL** want to know more about it. So I began setting them each up with their own wallet, and send them $10 to start. I actually get to teach them about it, and give them a few resources to start. I have had quite a bit of success.

From now on, this will be the majority of my focus on spreading adoption. Why? Because they get it. The teens of today know everything is going to be digital in the future, they **instantly** relate They have **zero** issues setting up their accounts, and navigating crypto sites, due to using phones their entire lives πŸ˜‚ They are **open** to new things, and arent set in their ways yet They have the **time** and **energy** to absorb all of this new info They **want** to be able to make $$$ for their future Another great way for them to save their $$$, and teach them to **become** their **own bank** They **TELL** their friends and get them excited. I have seen it happen now. **Hopefully** it helps set them on an awesome path in life. I show them crypto memes and twitter to help them see it in pictures and words. The SLP tokens are another awesome tool to catch attention. The ones that are really interested get an slp wallet, or just get BITCOIN.COM wallet to start, and send them honk and spice tokens. They really like that feature Lastly, they are **geared** for learning from school. Its so easy

So now instead of wasting my time, weeks and months on friends that dont take action, I am making a little army spreading the word to their buddies. I just keep showing them memes and telling them to save no matter what... They completely get the lesson, and have done way better than my best friends that are in their 30s-40s
