As mentioned in the previous post, I spent the first few months of 2022 deep diving into token fundamentals. I gained knowledge, experience, and—most importantly—conviction, yet I also came out of that period in a state of burnout. Ideally, I would have recognized this sooner, but here we are.

In other news, the crypto market has recently devolved into a bear market. Counterintuitively, such markets can be a breath of fresh air. The chaff separates from the wheat, and fundamentals become a priority again.

I believe this is an excellent time to begin learning Solidity. I’ve chosen to follow The Ultimate Smart Contract Developer Roadmap, except I’m skipping the first couple of introductory steps as well as replacing Decypher Media’s course with freeCodeCamp’s course. Bear markets are for building, as they say, and that is what I intend to do.
