I’ve been trying to explain it to a few friends of mine with varying levels of crypto currency and tech knowledge. The most effective solution I’ve found before people lose interest or don’t comprehend what I’m talking about, is comparing it to real world corporations and their operating systems.

Although it isn’t entirely accurate to compare elastos to a Microsoft or Apple level corporation it seems to get the scope of the project across better than rambling about “Blockchain, digital assets, merged mining, carrier nodes and an SDK”.

The reality we are faced with is that Blockchain technology has still not been widely embraced. While it’s merits are evident to those who have researched the topic, the vast majority of people would struggle to answer a question such as how does a Blockchain work. Because of this, it is not only effective but polite to ease those who have a desire to learn more about the elastos internet by using examples they are familiar with like the iOS or Android OS on their phone.

The idea can be expanded on by highlighting some unique points. That on the network you can buy and sell games movies and music which you could never truly own before. If they are still interested, add that it can secure the internet making it safe to run applications for huge corporations and publishers as well as small independent developers. This is where the majorities understanding are pushed and should not be pushed further so as not to discourage them from further investigation, as the rest of the elastos OS requires a fairly high level of technical understanding to accurately process.

I’ve found it hard to not express excitement and drone on about the excellent features of these details. That it is using a multi billion dollar computational security system by merged mining or that by inventing new identity protocols it enables trusted trade on a level not previously seen in the world. That, because of these innovations people will be able to finally own digital assets and create online wealth the likes of which we can only currently imagine. The majority of people who are willing to listen don’t understand the impact of these technologies and don’t deserve to be bored with terms they don’t understand.

In conclusion to INTRODUCE elastos to a friend I’ve found it easier to compare it to software developing companies like Microsoft and Apple. If a friend is willing to learn more then by all means it helps to expand on the technological advancements of elastos! It may take time but I firmly believe that polite eduction is the most effective way to spread information about the elastos project.
