I live in what Japanese people call "the countryside"," a small city of 80,000 people or so. I have one student at my ESL school who is into crypto hardcore, but the rest are still clueless. I was explaining Steemit to one of my students, an older guy who's an engineer at a major electronic component manufacturer. His eyes glazed over as I demonstrated a vote on Steemit and explained that I'd just effortlessly sent a micropayment to someone in Africa. He has no frame of reference for this technology, and no interest in understanding it, so he won't. And I believe that is still the majority. And that's a good thing, because it means that even with all the recent hype and increasing crypto prices there is still a ton of room for growth.
