Ayyy, thank you so much, @crosheille ! I'll take all the praise and kind words I can get. Yes indeed, I made all the graphics. Took quite a while, but worth it I feel.

I mostly made it because everything I read and Googled was either too complex, too intimidating, or too generic for me to pass along to friends interested in crypto. Plus, I intend to write a similar post for Hive Basics, but couldn't do that without explaining all this stuff first.

I love your story of how you got into it for one thing, then because of your husbands interested, you transitioned to another thing. It's similar to my own tale. I started learning this for a semi-unintentional reason, then transitioned to intentionally educating myself (and others!)

Flow is so important and writing, especially in long 'explainer' posts I'd say, so I'm very grateful that you resonated with it. It is very "for beginners, by beginners", lol.

Anyway, if you meet a beginner in the future, hopefully, it'll save you some time just to send 'em to this primer. :)

Either way, thanks for the great comment.
