Kind of basic question. How do you approach normalizing this crypto field/world to friends and family who aren’t as open to the concept?

The Rest. I created a channel for homies called /homie that’s mostly me babbling.  My favorite thing to do is play Minecraft with the nephew. 

I never push it and I try not to bring it up unless they ask about it. I think most people are very sensitive to crypto zealots shoving it down their throat, so I never want to come off too aggressively. I explain what I find exciting about it and try to keep it as tame as possible. And I usually focus on things they could imagine using (stablecoin Apple Pay, tickets, basic defi) and not more complicated concepts

This makes sense.

I wandered in the most complicated deepend and have been trying to figure out the relatability side of things.  Thanks for the info!
