People don't understand crypto yet... play around with it a bit.
Things not possible in the current financial system:
- Participate in a crowdlown on polkadot.
- Play around in some DeFi. Earn yield on two assets.
- Store some files hyperlocally and encrypted on peoples laptop with filecoin. And learn how persistant indexing will help the internet be more resiliant.
- Sell some data using ZKsnarks.
- Query the blockchains persistance with the graph.
And if you don't do any of the above and you still hate crypto, just do this for your future self.
- Write a smart contract that sends some coins back to your wallet in 10 years.
If you're correct in your opinion, you get to make fun of all your friends who spent a percentage of their portfolio in the crypto space. And joke about how they should have cashed out in 2020.
But if you're wrong, you have missed the technological innovation of your generation and the potential to shake up the class system.
