This has happened to me and I’ve been sceptical of the concept of “creating money out of thin air” 💸.</p><p>However, after spending a couple of month reading/learning/talking/youtubing about Bitcoin and blockchain, I’ve realized that the concept behind the blockchain can make our world a better place 🌅 and people on this planet more financially independent than ever before .</p><p>Blockchain has been in existence for 10 year now, and there are plenty of resources on the internet where you can learn about it. As always, 95% of resources are useless/time-inefficient/very technical 😬.</p><p><strong>I want to save you time and energy and create a series for “normal” people to quickly learn the magic behind the blokchain and learn how to value cryptoassets and invest in them</strong> 💪. I have a non-technical background (Degree in Economics, CFA Level 2 passed), so these series will be mostly created for “normal” people. By normal people I mean those, who don’t know how to code, don’t solve differential equations in their sleep and are not friends with Vitalik Buterin 👽.</p><p>Bitcoin is just a pure computer code 💻. And still it is used as money and people are ready to pay as much as $20,000 to buy one. According to <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/2483690/it-careers/india-to-overtake-u-s--on-number-of-developers-by-2017.html">ComputerWorld</a> less than 1% of the world’s population knows how to code , at the same time almost everyone on this planet uses money 💰 every day. If blockchain is supposed to affect all of us and affect how we exchange value, then we should learn about the idea behind it. This doesn’t mean we should all become software developers. It means we should learn as little as to cover the knowledge gaps to embrace the new technology. Let’s go, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ki-ldThGrg">normal people</a>!</p><p>P.S. If there is some extremely useful resource which you feel is a must-see for beginners, please feel free to leave a comment with a link 🔗 😎</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=5073e23c14ca" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
