(Newbies start here) Truth at face value if we can handle it, and to the marginal cost of the production*
(This page was started to simply share a few top links and resources to crypto newbies who may wander here, but then it got … but, wait… there’s more!)
Posit: The bell to humanity 2.0 is loudly ringing. Crypto-capable is the table stakes and gives superpowers. (Jeff Booth: “With digital technologies we have universal machines at zero marginal cost” and actually its simpler than that: Sergey’s magical money machine…)

Andreas Antonopoulos and all his books are free.
Robert Breedlove and Michael Saylor (*Yes, I bet the farm on Bitcoin and proud of it.) Come for the money, stay for the nectar of freedom and soverni… (*Michael Saylor started buying at some $16K, and I think up to $46K (issuing corp. bonds for it…), and experienced a close shave during the 2022 downtrend, and had to step aside from the CEO position. Perhaps he could have timed it a tad better, but timing is near impossible with these things.. and he has a 100-year horizon. Tl;DR: my 2 cents, as the cyrpto space and including bitcoin, the top value proposition is being open/decentralized, bitcoin will be volatile “forever” into the foreseeable future and stomaching and hodling thru 50% to 80%+ drawdowns will be the price of its charm.)

Addendum and additions: But wait, there’s more!
… and imho: the greatest wealth creation and migration in the current epoch is going on… yes, there is the magical money machine (Sergey, the co-founder of ChainLink fidgets a tad articulating this or is he an honest man blushing, b/c it really is magical*…) … but, really the real voodoo going on is that the world will change to be dealing in mathematically guaranteed outcomes (again by Sergey, 2021) as the default norm … again, we are building a truth based society. … Repeat: we are building a truth-based society… (*It is not only a magical money machine, but it’s good for me and saves the world too. So buy a small stake and put a bucket out ;). IOWs: It’s a choice — if not for the money, then do it for the … BTW: I am finding the ingredients of the magical money machine, it’s network effect (duh) and future value; working on the Money 3.0 recipe (almost there).
[The revenge of and the rise of the geeks — and we (are to simply) leave behind the insane equation of … “Madeleine Albright* justifies the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children as “worth it” … and replaced — with mathematically based truths and rule-based deterministic outcomes as given in our daily lives and interactions. Who can argue with math? And the business and politics knuckle-negotiation and who-blinks-first gamesmanship will become a dying art and superseded by mathematical and rules-based consensus AIs…) (**we simply leave ’em all behind … no need for revenge let God sort them out…, the world will adopt and stake-in-to the new system of ledgers and accounting, the triple entry… and this is the third ingredient to the magical-money-machine…
(Guys, it's not hard, it's arithmetic and the digitization of the truth. And this is it: The magical money machine is an indication of the extraordinary imbalance of truth in the system… because: IF!!! a very simple cloud-based triple-entry invention for a tiny bit of trustless-truth change created all this magical money then how big is the imbalance (iceberg) and how much more magic is there if the System Players … as we can see now that even BlackRock and JPMogan begin using tokenization and must in order to reduce costs and increase returns…, again, the math is in our favor…)]
One more time: The world is moving to a truth base society, and IMO actually, this outcome is mathematically guaranteed … please watch the video, as Sergey explains how this will happen, line by line.
7:42 “ … truth as a foundation for house society and peer-to-peer agreement and institutional level agreement that is the foundation on which society and relationships and institutional guarantees and peer-to-peer relationships should be built…”
(BTW: The cost for all this is paid from the immense stores of wealth (and inefficiencies) held in the truth-intermediating “centralized” infrastructure, plus bags and bags of tokens for the early. Sergey, Chainlink is enabling the world trustless truths.
This is the real why we do this, and I am solving the ways to engage where there will be the individual choices-levels to engage the Trustless-truth tokenization and tokenomics(tm) that are not too hot, not too cold.
Addendum: “Why Software Is Eating The World” By Marc Andreessen
(2011) to now: mathematical consensus will eat the world’s money and power and the world will be safe for nerds and geeks (and will have the magical money machine… as in “… honey I shrunk the stack (value-adding stack, e.g. real-world tokenization or a Web 2 stack) down to few lines of code added trustless-truths Web 3 implements and it's dropping out coins and tokens…”.
