The average person trying to understand blockchain

The expression I receive every time I try to explain my job

"Oh you work from home? What do you do?"

I always wonder where to start at this point, do I start with the community?? That is normally where I begin, that is my favorite part after all. I manage a chat sever for a social media platform. Who pays you?? How do you get paid for that? Teach me. No one actually "pays" me for the Discord stuff. So then people are even more confused. "So it is a hobby then??" No, it is work I assure you!! That aspect of my job doesn't technically do anything for my bank account though.
The whole idea of getting rewarded for your content is hard enough for people to understand. So you just write/create to make money? Not exactly, that is just one aspect. Networking, engagement, support and sometimes even luck are in play here also.

"So its like computer magic?!?!?!"

Trying to explain crypto to people either makes them think A. they are stupid because they cant grasp it or B. that I am delusional. It must be fake, a scam, possibly illegal.
Add in trying to explain Blockchain and what a witness/block producer does and whoa....
I normally don't make it to the token aspect before they stop listening.
I never make it to the trading/fiat aspect.

What do you do for a living ?!?!?!

I am a community leader, editor, content creator, show host, encourager/influencer/conflict resolution, a sponsor, witness, trader, holder, a boss, a team member, an employee.....I'm sure I'm forgetting something....I'm the krazy mod lady. maybe I just start saying that and leave it....

Many people have wanted me to "teach" them and I would.....but they want to spend minutes, not hours and it wouldn't exactly be paid training for either of us. Maybe eventually the right person comes around and wants to take the chance/time to learn.

It has been life changing for me <3

All the Love-
