Giving a friend fish to eat can be very easy but teaching them how to fish can be stressful especially if the person in question isn't willing to learn how to do the fishing. The act of benevolence wouldn't allow you give up, but this case is different.
Making friends from web2 has always been easy for me and it a means i use in introducing them to web3. I have been speaking with this friend for long time and we haven't seen. He came from his location just for us to see. I gave him a date and allow him pick the venue himself, and guess what happened? He picked a restaurant that accepts HBD
I intentionally wore my my branded T-shirt for easy eye cash since i won't be bringing out my ID card. Though he kept me waiting but he later showed up. We exchanged pleasantries and placed our order of which the served us and i paid in HBD making use of @distriator app. We had deep conversations for a day as it was being done with our snacks and tasty food we ordered.
I wouldn't say i was tricky, i was business minded as the reason for putting on my T-shirt worked. He had to end our conversation improperly just to ask me what was written on the T-shirt and what it means, i took my time to explain to him. He couldn't wait but said i should download the needed apps there and then. I mean that's what we've always wanted, to onboard newbies, i eagerly took his phone to the necessary but the phone was running low on memory. I explained to him the challenges and he agreed with me that he will be purchasing a phone for it.
I had to keep a follow up on a daily to be informed when purchases the gadget and know when to set up the account for him. As the above picture displays. It took him weeks to own a new phone, he got to inform me immediately he got it. That energy alone is a information passed.
He was giving me a back to back feedback. That was a good positive vibe that i couldn't ignore, but be positive as well. I had to direct him to the office location for the him for to go set up his account. I would love to see grown in Hive, having seen the kind of positive energy he has.
