Those who came onboard to the crypto space at first knew almost nothing about cryptocurrency, let alone knowing about the technology behind it, block chain. So in one way or the other, people still get the information needed.
From personal experience, I was a noobs when I came onboard, but I still managed to get to where I am now without any special aid.
So @OP, how do you intend to make it simpler, for other to know and understand better.
We do agree with you on, it is possible to make a start from scratch without an aid from outside now and even back then, but real question here is, how time consuming and how difficult is the process? If you want something to get mass adopted you need to make it user friendly less time consuming, you can see this case in many different industries and with many different technologies. So our aim is to not create something that is not existing we would like reshape and make it more user friendly and faster process.
How do we want to achieve this? First of all lets look at main issues making this learning process longer and difficult.
a) There are too many sources available, which thread should I check in bitcoin talk forum to find what i need?
b) Reliability of the source, was this guide written with the intention of teaching something or just to promote project X.
c) Way we deliver the information, what are we using to deliver to information is it a 2 hours long article?
d) Lack of incentives to encourage learning.
We looked at each of these problems then we said we have to create platform where information must be filtered (Problem a) from the sources which we can trust (problem b) and it needs to be in a form where people quickly can grasp the information (problem c) and we have to put great rewards to encourage learning (Problem d) and at the end we came up with TokenTuber. A curated video platform exclusively featuring crypto related video content with a built in token economy. Curated part helps us to filter videos and after finding the quality videos we add these videos in to our course titles such as "Beginner" " Bitcoin" etc. each course title comes with videos in a special order so you don't jump from one topic to another, later we evaluate each video and make sure video that goes under these course titles are from reliable sources and lastly we reward contribution and learning by rewarding users with our tokens for their actions.
