Hi everyone!

I would like to request the help of those who are more educated in this subject. I follow a lot of news about Blockchain and the bright future it can provide for societies and industries all over the world. If you follow it too, you have to admit, that stuff is INVIGORATING. It certainly filled me with enough passion to try and create a business to break out of the 9 to 5!

I hate to be the person to tell you this. Many "businesses" that think they need a blockchain, only need a databse. You will recognize it as you go on to learn more in your "blockchain" journey.

But when I follow discussions about Cryptocurrencies, not just here but sources elsewhere as well, it is almost strictly treated as an asset. In fact, it borderline sounds like stock trading discussions. Why have these two diverged in this way? I was always under the impression that they went hand in hand. Basically in my mind, Blockchain has this glow that holds so much amazing potential. When I think of the word Cryptocurrency, I start to feel bleak.

Stop. Read the Bitcoin whitepaper, the Bitcoin wiki and the Bitcoin developer documentation.

I apologize if this seems like basic knowledge to most of you. I am a personal trainer studying to become a physical therapist, so am not quite advantageously poised to make the most of this revolution. Honestly, the only aspect of it I can really wrap my mind around, is how Blockchain will benefit the health industry. Again, since that is the field that I have dedicated most of my time and attention to.

Learning is a process. Sometimes when you believe that you already "know", you recognize that there is more you do not know. Plus sometimes debating in the forum helps because you learn from the other person.

Thank you very much guys. If you need more elaboration on where my confusion lies, please let me know, and I'd be happy to help you help me understand lol

Welcome to the forum. Take what everyone says with great cynicism, including mine.
