Topic: Knowledge and Technology (Read 139 times)

Prior to the 20th century, the world was mainly focused on natural resources. Humans were still getting aquainted with their environment and what it contained. Natural resources were also the building blocks in construction and it supported economies of nations and was the main source of revenue.

With the advent of internet ( brief history, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Internet ) we had a shift in focus, and the world now is geared towards knowledge and technology, or rather the successful parts of the world is.

Knowledge and technology teaches us how to better utilize our natural resource, cars for petrol and use of steel for state-of-the-art constructions.

Digital currency couldn't have come at a better time.
The internet made communication convinient and made the world a global village.
Digital currency attempts to connect that globe on a much larger scale, using a resource everyone is connected with, Money.

Each new innovations come with risks, especially one related to finance, which mostly governs our lives. Those who sought-after knowledge and technology, (or as I like to say, knowledge of technology) took the first bold, tentative steps towards bitcoin and broke out of the limitations set by the government and banking sectors, and most reaped and are still reaping the rewards. This birthed more digital currencies, with varying degrees of success.
And ten years later we have this community of people who are knowledgeable about the blockchain and are interested in understanding the rudiments of finances. People who would have otherwise been limited to their paying jobs and social media.

This platform would launch the world into a new era of digital technology and revive our interest in knowledge of technology.
