Think about how many skills you don\u2019t have.
\nThink about how many trades you have ignored.
\nThink about how many books you haven\u2019t read
\nThink about how many classes you haven\u2019t taken.<\/p>\n

If you were to sum up your cumulative ignorance, then I am sure that you will find that what you do know is infinitely less than what you do not know. \u00a0There are entire professions built around the ignorance of others. \u00a0Professions such as electricians, plumbers, mechanics, various
\ntechnicians…so on and so forth.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin is an entire universe of ignorance. \u00a0Let me qualify what I mean by that statement. \u00a0I mean that almost every instance of clarification that is needed with bitcoin is an opportunity. \u00a0Those instances aren\u2019t only learning opportunities, but also professional and entrepreneurial
\nopportunities. \u00a0Imagine being the go-\u00adto guy in your city or locality on blockchain infrastructure. Imagine being the go-\u00adto guy when it comes to variable transaction fee structures, block exploration, or private key security practices. \u00a0In the near future people will pay a premium on
\ntheir ignorance in these areas.<\/p>\n

I know that it may seem heartless to say out loud, \u201cPay me a premium for your ignorance!\u201d \u00a0But, that happens with virtually all professions. \u00a0I pay a plumber for my ignorance in plumbing. \u00a0I pay an electrician for my ignorance of electricity. \u00a0I pay a mechanic for my ignorance of automobile engines. \u00a0There is a premium to pay for one\u2019s ignorance. \u00a0Us, in the bitcoin community have a very unique opportunity in history. \u00a0We have the opportunity to build profession from the ground up. \u00a0An entire structure for the \u201chow\u2019s\u201d and \u201cwhy\u2019s\u201d of bitcoin, digital currency, personal security, and personal digital finance needs to be built. \u00a0This necessary infrastructure is opportunity, the correlation is direct, and it is nearly one \u00adto \u00adone.<\/p>\n

SO, be the go\u00adto guy for bitcoin and next thing you know, people will be paying you a premium for their ignorance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
