Now more than ever do I witness or am approached by people every day who want to either get started in crypto, are very misinformed, or aren't reaching their full potential in this sector. I am by no means an expert and will always be learning. But, I've decided to create a reliable hub of public resources and tools to be used in your journey - all in one place! I will be updating this as I go and am definitely open to any suggestions or additions to this. One of my goals is to be adding some real value to anybody in the crypto space because if I had known what I know now I would've saved myself a lot of inevitable mistakes and most importantly time. You have 24 hours in a day so use 23 of them to sharpen your skills as you only need 1 to execute.
