At first, I found the world of cryptocurrency overwhelming—filled with unfamiliar terms, new financial models, unfamiliar faces, and a flood of conflicting opinions about what really matters. Despite spending my career immersed in technology and understanding how computers have reshaped the way we live and work, I found myself on the sidelines of this new digital frontier. I wasn’t particularly eager to dive in—but I kept wondering: “Why is Donald Trump so interested in cryptocurrency?”
As I dug deeper—learning how crypto works, who’s using it, and why—I began to see the bigger picture. This isn’t just a niche trend or a minor upgrade to our financial system. It’s a disruptive technology, like the introduction of credit cards, the rise of the Internet, or the launch of smartphones. It’s not just changing the rules—it’s rewriting them. And yet, it’s harder for most people to grasp.
Are we really becoming “The World Capital of Crypto”?
I decided to create this primer for people who aren’t tech geeks and don’t want to be—but who still want to understand what’s going on. Like credit cards and the Internet before it, cryptocurrency isn’t just about innovation—it’s about money, power, and influence. And understanding it matters.
