RE: How Do You Teach Experience? What Will Your Cryptocurrency Story Be?
Great post, as always. Everyone who knows me thinks of me every time they see bitcoin on the news.
They tell me how dumb they feel for not buying at $50 like I suggested.
Funny thing is, I never told them to invest.
I've only ever told people to learn.
It's art performed in maths.
The feedback loops; the magnificent simplicity and complexity.
Personally benefitting seems almost crass. I feel like a kalahari bushman looking up at a cathedral.
Yes, it can shelter a lot of cows, but that's an afterthought.
Look how incredible it is.
Beautifully said. :)
It's the same with me. For a while people would email me or message me any time they would see a news article about bitcoin. I'd smile and thank them. Inside, I'd be thinking, "Have you learned anything more about it yet? Are you onboard with understanding?"
exactly. It takes < 1 hour to really dive in and start learning this stuff now since there's countless resources online, yet ppl just wanna learn about the price. I guess this is how bubbles are formed and I'm completely OK w/ that. Some ppl want to learn and grow, others want to get rich quick. The latter typically fails and the former is richer b/c of the new knowledge and perspective.
The knowledge is also largely transferable.
If you 'get' PoW, then it's simple to understand DPoS. Then you see the differences and possibilities, and understand the tech a little better.
When the next thing comes along, you chip away at it until you 'get' the differences.
Before too long, the guy who only knows what the bitcoin price is doing, thinks you're some kind of wizard.
