What do the 2000 Internet Dotcom bubble and the 2018 cryptocurrency crash have in common?
People hopped into the train too fast and put their money in it without properly educating themselves about the subject first. They heard about a great revolution in the news, and that was enough to feel confident about the idea of putting all of their savings in it, with the hopes of getting rich quick...
Let me be clear: they are both great revolutions indeed, but just like anything else, we should take some time to know what we put our hands on.
Nowadays, no one can doubt that the Internet has had (and keeps having) a huge impact on everyone's lives. 25 years ago, we were far from knowing how essential it would be, and everything that we take for granted today was still science-fiction to us at that time, from having a video chat with anyone in the world with a small device holding in the palm of our hands, to the ability to share data or exchange funds in real-time.
Rest assured that in a decade or so, Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies will definitely be mainstream and as important to us as the Internet, so you might as well learn about it right now in order not to get left behind in a few years!
Here are some key points that we will cover together in this book:
- Demystify the subject first hand, so you can better digest all the information that will follow
- See how these technologies can actually benefit YOU
- Learn about the main downsides you need to consider
- Have an understanding of the major governments' points of view regarding Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies
- Have an idea of the different potential projections for the future
- Explore the different ways in which you will be able to extend your knowledge of the subject after reading this book.
Whether you think you can't understand it because its technology, or you don't need to know about it, think again! Blockchain and cryptocurrencies are only ten years old and they are here to stay. You need to know how it works, how it is going to affect our lives, and how it could actually benefit you!
Please be aware that this book will not teach anything to people who already have a solid knowledge about the subject. It has been especially written for the vast majority of people who still don't know a thing about it (or too few). If you feel like you should invest some time in trying to understand the basic concepts of this great technological breakthrough (and believe me, you should), this book will prove to be a great step in this direction.
My goal here is for you to be comfortable with the fundamentals, so you can better understand why it all came to life and how you can take part in this revolution. I want you to feel confident about these technologies and your knowledge about them.
So what are we waiting for? Let's dive in!
