As a dinosaur when it comes to tech, I often ask myself, what if I actually learn about blockchain along the way instead of just buying, trading, and make some profit?
Am I gonna be some kind of expert in this field one day?
Who knows.
One thing I know for sure: this cryptocurrency craze opens up a whole new world for me.
