What exactly is blockchain? To be honest, most people probably haven't truly understood it.

Many people listen to a few classes or read a few articles and think they understand, but in fact, they've only scratched the surface. Some equate it with Bitcoin, some think it's just a database, and others can only recite the concepts. These understandings are all incomplete.

The true blockchain mindset is not just about the technical aspects; it's more about understanding the logic behind it—why such trust mechanisms are needed, why decentralization is important, and in what scenarios it truly has value.

This is a process that requires gradual understanding, and there are no shortcuts.

You're right, this thing is indeed not that simple, many people are just fooling themselves --- I've heard too many people boast about blockchain, and then they just say Bitcoin equals blockchain, I'm really speechless --- The concept of decentralization has been overused, but the key is that most projects are still half-baked, shouting slogans loudly --- Gradually understanding? With the current market so competitive, how many people really have patience? Everyone just wants to jump on quickly --- The most heartbreaking are those who only memorize definitions; when asked about practical use, they get stuck immediately, haha --- Seriously, truly understanding the core logic of blockchain is the only way to avoid being cut, I have deep experience with this --- So, before entering, you really need to think clearly, don't follow the hype of concept coins --- That's why only a few can survive in a bear market, because they really understand it, not just have heard of it

To be honest, even I sometimes find it hard to explain this thing clearly. It's really not a technical issue; it's just that everyone wants to take shortcuts, but as a result, they end up going further off track.

Listening to this, I just laugh. Honestly, not many people can explain it clearly. --- Just memorizing a bunch of concepts, trading crypto for two years and still a rookie. --- That's right, most people are just coming in with a gambler's mentality. --- How many times has decentralization been explained, and some still don't get it? I'm exhausted. --- Whether you understand or not isn't important; making money is the real goal. --- I just want to know when this thing will truly be put into practical use. --- There are no shortcuts, but losing money sure is quick. --- Anyway, I just buy randomly. What's there to understand about the大道? --- Even if you understand the principles, you might still lose money—that's the real truth. --- Yeah, I agree. Concept hype outweighs actual value.

That's right, a bunch of people around me are like that. They listen to a little bit and then talk to me about blockchain, but they can't explain anything clearly.
