I read a post the other day asking for tips on how to learn bitcoin without going through the technical stuff (so they can start making profit sooner) and another one looking for a quick way to teach old people how bitcoin works. Here’s what I learned after months of observation and heavy reading on cryptocurrency inside and outside this forum.
There are NO SHORTCUTS to understanding bitcoin. You’ll find crash courses and simplified versions of the technical aspects of bitcoin but those are just to help make complex information more digestible WHEN YOU GO OVER IT AGAIN, not to help you skip certain parts. Yes, you’ll eventually realize that it’s best to re-read the stuff you refused to read the first time (when you thought it’s too much for you). With so many risks involved in cryptocurrency, you would want to know as much information about what you’re getting yourself into as you can. So, taking a shortcut is out of the question.
Think of cryptocurrency as a branch of science, because it’s as big as one. It’s not like a Netflix series that you can binge-watch in one go. Rather, it’s like the entire entertainment industry. Like a college course that takes many years to finish, it will take years of research and experience to master bitcoin. Also, research doesn’t stop as cryptocurrency is constantly evolving. Some of the things you will learn today may no longer apply tomorrow, so continuous study must be part of your daily routine.
Regarding profit, there certainly are various ways to grow wealth through bitcoin. You can invest, trade, gamble, perform tasks, write content, and many more, at least in this platform. But let’s not forget that the primary purpose of bitcoin introduction and adoption is to decentralize the financial system. More than just another income generator, it’s a campaign with a goal. Let’s find a way to contribute to that campaign. I also have a mentor btw so connecting with people who share your interest is also important.
