Easing into Crypto Michael Caloz Cryptocurrency is about a lot more than just making money. We'll get there in later episodes, but first, I want to help you understand how crypto actually works (including how it will transform society, promote social justice, lead to brand new forms of art and creativity, form the foundation of futuristic online worlds, and protect personal autonomy).You might be wondering:- Did El Salvador really make Bitcoin an official currency you can pay taxes with? Yes.- Did an NFT (i.e., a piece of art that lives inside cryptocurrency) really sell for $69 million? Yes.- Is Bitcoin actually useful for anything, or is it just creating a lot of needless pollution? Yes.There's a lot to unpack here, and most educational resources I've come across are either way too simplistic or way too advanced.I'll start at the very beginning and gently guide you through all the concepts you need to understand to feel comfortable with cryptocurrency.
