“How am I going to explain this one….”

My mother was over last week and casually asked what I was working on. Zoe (my daughter — aged 7) was also in the room and is curious as hell.

This is my chance, spread the word, EOS is going to … “say something earth shattering”

Mum (63) and Zoe (7) are both digital natives. Zoe is a ninja on the iPad and my mother has more connections on social media than her children.

Hmm… We are working to… “don’t mention decentralise, don’t mention decentralise”

I actually surprised myself… I do that sometimes.

“Do you know all the things you do online” , they both nodded

“Well there is a team around the world working together to make that better, safer, secure. And if it works we won’t have to worry about things getting stolen online or getting scammed. “

“it has its own money called EOS”

“Sounds great, I’m in “ Mum said ( She a great Mother but she’d be a terrible Shark)

“How do I buy some EOS…”.

I was lost.

“How am I going to explain this one….”

Could you explain it to your Mum? How to buy, hold and secure a cryptocurrency?

This shit is not simple.

Yesterday, I watched Dallas’s video, about getting hacked and his wallet cleaned out.

And I must admit, I was freaked out.

I had some EOS in an online wallet. I know I should have them in a hardware wallet and blah blah , but I didn’t because … I’m normal and busy and afraid and new to this.

I tried to buy a Ledger Nano a couple of months ago but they were on backorder, I then bought one on Ebay and then read something else about Ledgers bought on Ebay getting hacked.. FFS

Yesterday I ordered some more, but in the meantime I sent my small few tokens to an exchange.

I know, I know “not your keys, not your money” , but as I said, this shit isn’t easy, and I need to be able to sleep.

The guys in @EOSNewYork tweeted a couple of days ago.

The founding principles of EOS — Life, Liberty and Property need to exist before, during and after the launch. Things are moving fast.

Dawn 3.0 just released . Block.one are keeping up with their end of the deal.

As Block Producers we need step up, educate and solve some problems.

Leave no EOS behind.
