when you’re learning something complex with a lot of moving blocks
for example building on crypto
- protocols
- application layer
- core EVM layer
- security
etc etc
in places like this, where to become an expert usually involves working well with all of these combined
the best way to go about learning it is
pay attention to 1 of them at once, and slowly keep advancing to the next and the next WHILE also contributing to the “greater cause” at all times
this will ensure you are becoming better at the overall skill ( crypto / blockchain ) while mastering the parts needed to get good at it ( like protocols, dapps etc etc )
