You've probably jumped into the cryptocurrency markets after hearing about all the bull run hype on social media or from your friends.  
  
You've then gone and made a Coinbase account and one or more of the many available DeFi wallets on the market, probably Metamask or Coinbase wallet.

If you've made it this far you've most likely then figured out how to get some well needed Eth or Sol onto one of your wallets so you can start making some sweet gains, right?  
  
Well...everything up until the gains part is probably true for a lot of you, including me.  
  
Why? There's a lot of factors that contribute to these so-called bull run gains being so elusive for a lot of people.  
  
It's probably a combination of; a lack of real accurate information, no time to study the markets, no time to study the actual tech driving the Industry.  
  
If you relate to the above scenario and you're still in the game, with some good positions in a few solid projects with potential then congratulations, you're doing better than most.  
  
If you're a nerd like me and you're actually interested in all the various ways that blockchain technology can and is revolutionising our world, then set aside you're degen desires, develop some patience and get to see how much this technology can offer beyond meme coin riches (do that as well though...just not as much...).
