TL:DR; get in there and get your hands dirty in crypto tech. It’s an investment in your future self and it will pay off.

The best way I have discovered to understanding how a new technological innovation works is, quite simply, to play with it.

You have to “get your hands dirty.”

You need to make mistakes, lose some money, and get frustrated.

If you want to invest in Bitcoin, Ether, or 0x, go for it.

Want to buy Zcash, DAOstack, Endor, OpenBazaar or Contrib [advisor to all], be my guest.

But what is even more important is to set aside some amount of “play money.”

It will be a better use of your entertainment funds than a lot of the other stuff you spend on (most likely).

I’ve been doing that a lot more recently, as the tech has matured.

For example,

In the months to come, I’ve got a few others lined up like testing out the Kinit app (android link here) downloaded, but haven’t used it yet (article about it here).

There are probably a few more that I don’t remember now.

I may review them individually down the road, but that’s not the point.

The point is that, in order to understand the new paradigm, you have to get into the new paradigm.

You won’t “get” VR until you have had a VR experience.

You didn’t “get” email until you sent and received an email.

I remember the first time I set up a wi-fi network at home, 2002, I think. It was magical. I “got” it.

Yes, you will make mistakes.

You will lose money, but only if you think about it that way.

If you really think about it, you’re investing money in your future self and your education.

This small amount of money is going to help you understand the new paradigm much better and faster than having to play catch up when it really hits.
