Blockchain is Confusing
Have you heard the terms "Bitcoin" or "Cryptocurrency?" What about "Ethereum" and "Litecoin?" Or "Coinbase" and "Bittrex?" Do the terms "distributed ledger," or "alt coins" mean anything to you? How about "HODL?" Blockchain is confusing. There's a lot to know, and trying to figure it out can be confusing.
Unprecedented Growth
In 2017, the total market value of cryptocurrencies exploded. Popular digital currencies like Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum saw annual returns of roughly +2,000%, +8,000%, and +10,000%! This type of growth is unheard of in traditional markets, but blockchain isn't traditional. It's brand new, and it's not showing any signs of slowing down.
There's Too Much Noise
There's plenty of misinformation floating around. And you're busy. You have other things going on in your life. You don't have time to find the right podcast episode, the latest news article, the best tutorial video. On top of that, you're worried about getting hacked.
