Why did you create Wish I Knew?

Personally, I learn about database which is a really hard topic for me via a comic book. So I thought ""why not I do the same for people to learn about Blockchain, Bitcoin ..which seem too technical and complex. Instead of talking about the technology, this comic book talks about the implication of how our life will be like with these technologies. Similar to the Internet revolution, we do not have to know how TCPIP works, we are just happy using the internet.

On top of that, artificial intelligence has advanced so much that academia results will no longer be that important. With decentralization, the way we work will transform, by getting ourselves into the new order now, we will integrate ourselves for the paradigm shift.

The revolution has already started. I implore all to experience this technology by taking action. It is easy to take baby steps.

Comics simple enough for kids to understand. By reading to their kids, I hope to evoke the parents' curiosity to learn more about the Blockchain ecosystem. You can take baby steps to learn together with your children by getting the workbook edition sold separately. By taking part in some activities, I hope both parents and children will learn more about the blockchain revolution.

Knowledge is power! Take action and get ready."
