Why Do I Still Need to Learn Blockchain?
Bitcoin is already so expensive—why should I spend time learning blockchain?
You might think: "I missed that massive wealth growth opportunity. If only I'd known earlier."
I get it, because I've thought the same way myself.
And not just once. I've missed other opportunities too.
As early as around 2000, house and land prices were incredibly affordable, but now they're astonishingly expensive. I missed out on buying a house—so what did I lose?
Some say those who bought houses early made a fortune, A house that was originally 1 million turned into 20 million. Those who bought houses made money, so who lost out?
Regrettably, the answer is: those who didn't buy lost money.
In the past, young people only needed 3 years of labor to exchange for a house, But now, young people often need a lifetime of labor to afford one. Those who bought early profited from others' 30 years of labor, Enjoying products and services provided by many young people over the years.
If you don't learn about Bitcoin and blockchain now, you might find yourself asking others in 20 years:
"Those who bought coins early made money—so who exactly lost out?"
Regrettably, "Those who didn't buy lost money."
Maybe in the future, just a few coins could exchange for a house.
When cryptocurrency value surges, it's equivalent to fiat currency value declining— It's just the world's total value undergoing some redistribution. Though I hope everyone makes money, sometimes someone gaining means someone else losing.
The world has never been fair; resource allocation is always in flux. And the essence of human society is a constantly shifting game of resource distribution.
Those with foresight who know how to choose quality assets naturally get a larger share; While those with insufficient knowledge or poor judgment who pick inferior assets get less.
Back then, I painfully realized: My understanding was fundamentally inadequate. So I chose to face it head-on, set aside my biases, and decide to truly figure out what blockchain really is.
I wanted to know: What exactly are they playing at? Why can they turn "coins" into such a powerhouse? Why is there news about Bitcoin and Dogecoin everywhere? What's the logic behind it all?
Although governments often claim cryptocurrency is a tool for money laundering, a haven for illicit funds, But why must what the government says be absolutely correct?
I choose to trust myself. I want to start learning from the most fundamental principles, truly grasping the operating logic of blockchain.
Because only when you understand the underlying logic of a new system Can you truly gain an advantage in this game of constant resource redistribution.
Q&A Time
Q: The government says cryptocurrency has risks—should I still learn it?
A: Precisely because cryptocurrency has risks, you should learn even more about its essence and principles. Once you understand it yourself, you can judge which information is credible and avoid losses due to ignorance.
Q: I missed early Bitcoin—how can I still benefit from learning blockchain now?
A: Learning blockchain isn't just for investment; it's about participating in the future society's resource redistribution game. Understanding and engaging early can prevent missing similar opportunities down the line. If a promising technology built on blockchain emerges in the future, only those with foundational blockchain knowledge will be able to spot and profit from those chances.
