The drive to Rustenburg and back to Johannesburg with Daniel, a Huawei representative got us to chat along the way. From our chat, I got to experience how someone can be extremely close-minded and be adamant about it.

With both of us losing interest in the Telecoms industry, Dan shared his other skills with me, and his thought of venturing into farming. From his talk, I could tell he will do well with farming as he has ideas that I don't know about farming and I encouraged him to give them a go.

I felt, it will be okay to share with him I am involved in blockchain technology. So I did and he question what was, a further explanation got Dan fired up.
He asked if I trade Bitcoin, which I don't and my response was no.

Interestingly Dan's dad is an IT personnel, so Dan has heard about Bitcoin and NFTs but he believes they are scams, he just cannot wrap his head around digital land or estate. I asked what is a scam and that question never got an answer.
He pointed out that Bitcoin has unlimited supply and he has a problem with that, and that got me laughing so hard I had to correct him, there will only be 21 million Bitcoin to be mined so it is limited in supply. I asked Dan if he is willing to read so I can share sources with him for proper enlightenment but he declined.

It didn't take long for me to realize there is no point in having a blockchain and cryptocurrency chat with Dan but what I gathered from him was he is threatened by technology. I came to this conclusion because he mention kids these days can't make fire out in the camp, they will not survive, they only spend time online.

I got a glimpse of when someone hates something which we see against Bitcoin, the likes of Warren Buffet amongst others go all out against it and there is nothing you can do to alter that.

It is common to find good and bad sides to a subject, it is left for each to choose what technology will be utilized for. Hive, For Teenagers As Well is an article with a 12-year-old on Hive, the potential for success if Evan utilizes Hive to his advantage is enormous.

Therefore as much as we are going through digital transformation with advancements in technology, jobs are going to be lost, and those that position themselves are going to have jobs.
There are bright sides to digital transformation, it all depends on how we look at it and approach it.

We owe it to ourselves to make Hive great
