Why Should I Still Learn About Blockchain?
Bitcoin is already so expensive—why should I still spend time learning about blockchain?
You might think, “I missed out on that massive wealth-building opportunity. If only I had known earlier.”
I understand, because I used to think that way too.
And not just once. I’ve missed other opportunities as well.
Back around the year 2000, houses and land were still very affordable. Today, they’re astonishingly expensive.
Those who bought property early made money. So who lost?
Those who didn’t buy were the ones who lost out.
In the past, young people only needed three years of work to afford a house.
Now, it often takes a lifetime of labor for young people to buy one.
If you don’t learn about Bitcoin and blockchain now, chances are you’ll be asking in 20 years:
"Those who bought crypto early made money. So who lost out?"
"You lost—because you didn’t buy."
The world has never been fair. Resource allocation is always ongoing.
And at its core, human society is a constantly evolving game of resource distribution.
Those with foresight, who know how to choose quality assets, naturally get more.
Those with poor understanding or judgment who choose inferior assets get less.
I painfully realized back then that my understanding was insufficient.
So I chose to face it head-on, set aside my biases, and decided to truly understand what blockchain is all about.
I wanted to know: What exactly are they playing at?
Why are they so good at this “crypto” game?
Why are there constant news stories about Bitcoin and Dogecoin?
What’s the logic behind all of this?
Although governments often say that cryptocurrencies are tools for money laundering or safe havens for illegal funds,
why should everything the government says automatically be right?
I chose to trust myself.
I wanted to start learning from the most fundamental principles and truly understand how blockchain works.
Because only when you grasp the underlying logic of a new system
can you really gain an advantage in this ever-shifting game of resource redistribution.
Q&A
Q: The government says crypto is risky. Should I still learn about it?
A: Precisely because crypto carries risks, you should learn and understand its core principles.
Once you understand it yourself, you’ll be better equipped to evaluate the credibility of information and avoid losses due to ignorance.
Q: I missed the early Bitcoin wave. How can learning about blockchain still benefit me?
A: Learning blockchain isn’t just about investing—it’s about participating in the resource redistribution game of the future.
By understanding and getting involved early, you reduce the chances of missing out on future opportunities.
If a powerful new technology in the future is built on blockchain, only those with foundational blockchain knowledge will be able to recognize and benefit from it.
