It's the first of May and almost everywhere on earth people are celebrating Labor Day. That's the case in my country as well and tomorrow we'll gonna have Easter as well. Usually during holidays, especially in spring-summer time there's a lot of tourists in this area. This day was no exception.

I'm not planning on getting involved too much with tourism this year, because I want to have time for content creation which is my main source of income for now, but I can leave my friend alone either in his boat cruises business, thus I help as much as I can.

Today we had three guys from The US for a private tour, they all work for the government, saying something about the Navy and according to them they're spending a few months in Romania before getting back to Italy where they were located for a while. I didn't got too much details on their work and tbh wasn't even interested, but I had some questions for them.

As soon as they got on the deck I asked them about Bitcoin and blockchain, if they own any crypto, if they've used blockchain and got myself in a bit of talks with one of them, the younger one, on this topic. He didn't own any crypto, but he was mining Pi and he had a bit of knowledge about the tech.

We've talked a bit about Pi, although I don't know much about this project and sooner than later I deviated the talks towards Hive. You know me, I can't hold myself. I know my English is probably less than mediocre, but I can make myself clear in almost any talk and they thought I was doing good in that regard.

My reaction was that I have to do good because I have a blog on the Hive blockchain and my content that goes out in here has to be in English. That's when I took the chance and showed the Pi guy my Leofinance account and a few of my posts. He took a snap of it and promised to look for it and see what's all about.

I invited him to the chain, made it clear that he can create all sort of content in here, not solely related to crypto and finance and I really hope to see him as an active user at some point. I didn't got his name but he will for sure poke me if he comes around. It's so fulfilling to find folks that have heard about this technology and see the value in it.

Being the translator on the boat I talked with them almost the whole trip and at one point, after noticing that they appreciate the area, I came with the idea that the area is quite good for their retirement. The younger one seemed attracted to it and there are probably 99% chances that they won't leave the US for Romania, although I know cases, but it might happen.

Despite not using Pi and not really seeing much value in this project I can't say that I don't see its place in the world of crypto. It attracts all sort of users that at some point might get interested on the real deal. The world of crypto is getting wider and more diverse and the onboarding gates are increasing in number as well.

We ended up eating together lunch, as I felt the need to act like a guide in town for them and I even got a tip from them. It would have been nice for the tip to be in crypto, but looks like we're not that mass adopted. It was an interesting experience and tbh it changed my view over Americans a bit to a more positive side. Have a great weekend and see you to the next one.

Thanks for attention,
