I.
E fit for this new wave of Decentralization and blockchain.
I\'m just following Albert Einstein\'s advice: "If you can\'t explain it simply, you don\'t understand it well enough." My ultimate goal is to make people all around the world #CRYPTOFIT .
Explaining something to a 10-year-old is in no way a commentary on anyone\'s intelligence.
At the same time, I will reference the details on a technical level to give you both the large scale and the detailed picture.
In the simplest way possible, I will explain all the aforementioned points so even a 10-year-old could understand them.
One of the main challenges for anyone trying to get familiar with these topics is the question of " Where should I start? " This is exactly what prompted me to write this book.
If you have no clue what a blockchain, a cryptocurrency, or Bitcoin is, don\'t worry-most of the population doesn\'t.
With this new technology called Blockchain , a similar window of opportunity has started to open.
You know who "won" with the internet? The people who started preparing for it at the beginning, using it personally or for their business before others did.
And "these things" will play just as important a role as the internet has for the past 20 years.
