Pierre Rochard: I did not understand #Bitcoin until long after I had held some for a while. I didn’t dig into, Okay, how does the UTXO set work, how do #Bitcoin inputs and outputs work? I just knew addresses and wallets, for a very long time. And that’s fine! There’s no reason to really dig into it, unless you’re like, Okay, this system, not only is it valuable to me because I have #Bitcoin, but it’s also valuable to me because I think that it’s the future. And that the sooner I learn this, the sooner I can start benefiting from it and living in the future. So it’s like, Okay, the Internet has just come out, and let’s say you’re a software developer. Do you want to learn web development now, or do you want to wait? Frankly, I would argue that, if I look back on when I first heard about software development, it was MySQL. MySQL was the database. And so, I could’ve learned SQL back then, but I was reading WIRED magazine and I was like, Oh, software development is gonna be obsolete because it’s all gonna get outsourced to India. And so I was like, Okay, I don’t need to learn SQL. Fast-forward 20 years, literally 20 years, everyone’s still using SQL. If I had learned SQL that would’ve been an excellent job skill to have from the Day Zero of having a job! It’s a great skill to have! So I think that there’s technologies that are Lindy, that are going to be around for a long time, that are going to be hugely valuable and powerful, and you might as well just learn them now, because you’re gonna have to learn them at some point, and the longer you put it off, the less you’re gonna benefit from it over your lifetime.
