When I first started my journey to bitcoin I thought
1. Blockchain technology was the real pony in the race and not bitcoin.
2. I did not understand the technology of the chain or what connected the blocks, how they were connected and why they were connected.
3. I did not understand proof of work and why that mattered and how proof of work was set up and why.
4. I did not understand layer 1 and layer 2 I thought having a layer 2 technology was inferior to having everything on layer 1
5. I had no clue about the blocksize war and what was going on behind the scenes from 2015-2017
6. I thought cold storage was putting internet passwords into the freezer
In Paul’s famous letter to Corinth where he describes love he says the following
When I was a child I used to speak as a child, think as a child, reason as a child, but when I became a man I put away childish things
Most of us were children when we first investigated bitcoin but as we learn we need to put away childish things such as shit coins
Why?
Because love of others drives us to learn from our mistakes and put away childish things to better serve others in need
