The BlockChain Community is not doing enough to encourage mass adoption of cryptocurrency

Bitcoin, blockchain, ICO, crypto… These words are generally becoming trendy and everyone seems to know everything about them and at the same know nothing. This becomes even funnier when someone who doesn’t even own any crypto is moving around and posing as a crypto expert.

Every day, there are more than 10 blockchain meetups or conferences.

Many of us believe that these events are organized in order to make the community stronger and help spread the love of blockchain. I have attended a couple of them and this has led me to believe that many organizers just use the hype to make $$$ without any plans to support the growth and adoption of cryptos. I have been lucky to attend one of the best industry meetups – Cryptofriends. I rank them as one of the best mainly because tickets to their events are obtained using crypto (to be specific Bitcoin). This forced many people to create Bitcoin wallets and had the crypto experience. In fact, I helped a few people create wallets.

At the end of the day, we want everyone on Earth to use crypto. Therefore, we should start using them in our local events. I think that all blockchain event organizers should promote the use of cryptos as a requisite for participation in their events. Even if it is as low as 0.001 BTC. We need a vibrant crypto economy. The community needs to really start using the cryptos. Since we all attend events, I propose it as the easiest and fastest way to help encourage massive adoption of cryptos.

During Cryptofriends meetup, I witnessed the issues associated with Bitcoin transactions for event ticketing and we decided to automize the whole process and make it easier for organizers and event attendees. KickCity is a social event marketplace. We process Dollar, Rouble and currently Bitcoins for event ticketing. We have created tools that facilitate quick and easy ticket processing for events using Bitcoins.

The community needs vibrant economy. Crypto events should use crypto and not FIAT. Lets make the industry greater.
