Started in 2021, It was a basic understanding of what money is + the concept of immutable information for me.
Immutable information is such a revolutionary innovation. It’s simple yet so foreign. The fact that you can implement it in the form of a ledger means blockchain wins as a base settlement layer. The only question remaining is, which blockchain? But it doesn’t take long to understand that all other cryptos are either worse forms of bitcoin, or just more fiat/centralized currency.
I think I’ve benefited from the fact that there’s a TON of helpful info out there + 13ish years of history with bitcoin and other cryptos. Would have taken a lot longer if I started learning before the pandemic.
