i think you should try everything!
whether it’s marketing, development,

nothing is fixed or predetermined.
act as you go. go with the flow. 🌊

why ethereum is called world computer?
in bitcoin, state transitions occur with tx’s of bitcoin which also cause the global state transitions. meaning, it’s strictly restricted to tracking of currency ownership.
while, ethereum tracks the state transitions of any type of data, not just tx’s. so like a computer that stores both code & data in memory.
it operates similarly, where smart contracts are stored & executed by EVM + allows devs to program state machine, managing apps, & so on.
decentralized network of thousands of nodes worldwide without relying on a single entity for control is what makes it a : -

“classic crypto problem (newbie)”

network, gets excited : )

it to local bank account. 💪

a CEX (e.g. binance).

token ) is required to pay for tx
fees.💀

buying MATIC requires fiat/
crypto, which they’re don’t have
access to yet.
> again, can’t buy MATIC due to
KYC delays/min purchase limits on
CEXs, & somewhere faces
rejection. 🥲

without need to pay upfront fees.
that saves the day. 😌
eventually sorted, but with this experience, the user says, “crypto is complicated 😭 !”
see the gap here ? is that how we onboard the next billion users? 😤
