well, the influence of social media is quite large. when I join bounty facebook, I share a post from a project. then, some of my friends asked me what I was doing. finally, i explain to them about cryptocurrency and bitcoin. some of them are interested and some do not believe. and what makes me happy is, my friend has also been getting profit from bitcoin.
I agree that the influence for the social media audience is large and it's one of the reason too why bitcoin gains attention now. I myself knows bitcoin because of the social media and some of my friends are keep posting stuff in their accounts about bitcoin and that's the reason now why i am here.
