Hello world, I decided to write this because Curve was making my head hurt. If you are in crypto you know that Curve is one of the most important defi hubs but trying to understand how it works is a challenge even for seasoned folks. Part of my job is to learn the intricacies of protocols and identify value props on how we can work with them. This lead me down the dizzying rabbithole to understand Curve at a deep level. Hopefully this saves some time and complexity for my fellow learners.

Every day there is something new and exciting in the crypto industry. Recently, Coinbase dropped a powerful campaign advert with the essence of “Changing the System”. From afar that sounds preposterous and nuanced. For an industry insider, this was a great campaign covering the mission. Seeing this macro narrative sparked some spontaneous vibes to write several of my principles on why I am in blockchain.

Education is a fundamental aspect of personal development and career success, particularly in white collar professions. A well-educated workforce can drive innovation, improve productivity, and create economic growth. However, the current process of verifying educational credentials can be time-consuming, costly, and prone to fraud. Moreover, the traditional education system, with its emphasis on grades, degrees, and certificates, can be limiting and often fails to capture the full range of an individual's knowledge, skills, and abilities. Fortunately, blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize the way that educational credentials are verified and authenticated, creating new opportunities for white collar professionals and unlocking the full potential of human capital.

Preface

Humanity’s progression is built upon the level of people’s education. It is not too bold to state that education is the invisible fabric that moves humanity forward. However, the base that moves the world ahead has been stagnant for decades. To be frank, it’s unforgivable how innovation in education has been a laggard. Sure, there have been micro-changes but there has not been a paradigm disruption. If all the other macro fields in the world such as technology, medicine, finance, and other domains are evolving, why is education getting left behind? It is reasonable to believe that education has been stifled due to macro variables such as politics, social mobility, academia, capitalism, complexity, and bureaucratic systems.

I present a theory of mine.

Hello fellow Lirners, if you are reading this, it is time to build. Lirners will may or may not still be minting but our main focus now is to build the future of education. With that being said, we should take a look at the first step for the direction that we are heading. Some of these roadmap steps could be worked on in parallel and some will sprint project builds.

Hello, fellow Lirners.
