Idiot's Guide to Blockchain
What the heck is a "bit of coin?"
- me, not so long ago
Welcome!
Fellow idiots,
If you’re like me, you keep hearing about blockchain -- maybe your grandma just bought her first NFT, maybe your bestie is kicking himself for spending 10 bitcoin on a song in 2010, maybe you’ve gotten trapped on a date with a metaverse evangelist.
And maybe you’re just wondering what the heck any of this stuff means, and you’re looking for a place to start.
You're in the right place.
I created Idiot's Guide to Blockchain to:
Organize my notes about the cool things I was learning
Share my journey
Help others get started
Welcome, and get excited.
It's only just the beginning.
Affectionately yours,
Idiot in Chief
Why Idiots?
We're making most of it up as we go along.
To paraphrase Merriam-Webster:
Idiot originally just meant “ignorant person." Web3 is still in a nascent state, and none of us know definitively what works and what doesn't.
The best part? We're all in this together.
That means we're all idiots here.
I'm not a blockhead, I'm on blockchain!
