Excuse #1. “But I’m told I need an academy degree.”

Self-limiting belief. Don’t you want to get away to a new part you get to play?

You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars to get started today.

Excuse #2. “I’ve never coded anything. I don’t know what I’m doing.”

You might not understand. But you will. You can share your knowledge, too.

Sometimes people pair this excuse with not understanding cryptography or being confused by mathematical formulas and concepts. DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED. You don’t need to be a mathemetician nor a cryptographer in order to get started #BUIDLing.

Excuse #3. “I wouldn’t even know what do make.”

This is an exercise to pique your curiousity. Research. PLAY. Be Creative. Have faith in the process. Zingo! You will strike upon an idea that you can’t wait to get working on.

Excuse #4. “I heard crypto is falling in price. Isn’t it dead?”

Whenever you hear the crowds fighting about one crypto versus another crypto like it’s a sports event, run the other way. Abandon the town squares. Abandon the forums. #BUIDL.

Excuse #5. “This is really hard.”

The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds. Even experts in software development struggle. But, this is an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a new endeavor, a new technology, and participate in the crypto-economic system that is growing with skills that are in increasing demand.

Excuse #6. “What if I get stuck? Then it’s pointless.”

There’s a multitude of resources available, often for free. From StackoverflowExchange to an entire ecosystem of Gitter chatrooms where developers can be found 24 hours a day, all around the globe, all busy working on open source software and provide quick Q&A help to get past hurdles. The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.

Excuse #7. “Yeah sure. Why would anyone help me?”

John Nash explained Open Source Software best in Governing Dynamics. Adam Smith once said, ‘the best result comes from everyone in the group doing what’s best for himself’. Incomplete. The best result will come from everyone in the group doing what’s best for himself, AND the group.

Now that we’re out of excuses,

you’re ready to be a force for positive change.
