If you've ever tried to learn crypto and ended up with 47 tabs open and a mild identity crisis—you’re not alone. That’s not a bug. That’s the system.
Crypto, as it stands, is a mess of half-finished tools, meme slang, and contradictory advice. It’s full of smart people building cool stuff in completely different directions, often without stopping to explain anything.
So, if you’re confused, we consider that... a sign of intelligence. Welcome to proof of confusion.
Why We’re Doing This Differently
501(meme)3 isn’t here to overwhelm you with charts or shout “HODL.”
We’re here to stop and explain what this all means because it's important. To be successful, we need to be speaking the same language. In this and future digests, we'll start at the beginning to understand:
What’s a wallet?
Why does everyone keep saying “gas” when nothing is on fire?
Is this actually useful?
Can this help me feed my family, or afford rent, or support my community?
We believe crypto can be understandable, ethical, and practical.
But only if we build it that way—and narrate the process out loud.
What’s Coming
We’ll be using this space to:
Break down crypto concepts without acronyms and bro speak
Show what we’re building in real time
Talk about the hard stuff (like trust, value, scams, and public good)
Invite you to ask questions, share feedback, or just lurk until it clicks
No experience required. No dumb questions.
Just a willingness to explore.
Closing Thought
Proof of confusion means you're asking good questions.
You're noticing that something doesn't add up.
That’s not a flaw. That’s the start.
So yeah, you’re in the right place.
Let’s learn and build it together.
