Tip: avoid terms associated to shitcoins, such as "cryptocurrencies" and "web3".
Another tip: take some time to experiment with sovereign money. Such as installing non-custodial wallets like Mutiny and Zeus, Electrum (for desktop), etc, send and receive coins, recover a wallet from seed on a different device, create a "cold wallet" for long term storage, do some p2p trading, etc.
Bonus tip: Try to read introductory books, because Alden, in my opinion, is too advanced (even for myself some times, and I've been here for over 7 years).
