This is absolutely true. When I came to Steemit, I know that Bitcoin was a thing. That was as far as my crypto knowledge goes. While I still have a long way to go before I fully grasp it, my understanding has grown by leaps and bounds by just being willing to learn. I run a witness node now, and that's due almost entirely to what I learned being here and asking questions about blockchain technology and how cryptocurrency (Steem, in this case) works.

If I can do it, pretty much anyone can.
