Maybe start with.....Have you seen Terminator?...well imagine a bunch of developers unknowingly creating the components a financial version of SkyNet...except in this reality...the government or other bad actors will have the ability to start thermonuclear financial war and disable all electronic wallets at once. As the large banks collude with goverment with legislation to take away any advantage that crypto, defi, DAO's have over central banks (through tax and monitoring of said blockchains)...more crypto projects will go defunct, defraud people and the tech will continually be absorbed by corporate bankruptcy pirates. I am one of those developers starting the process as fast as I can. If we're lucky we'll have a future akin to Star Trek...if we're realistic, there will be more control over us than ever and more people will be slave to my part of the system.

You're Welcome,

Imagine a big book where everyone can write down important information, but once it's written down, it can't be changed or erased. That's kind of like what the blockchain is.

Blockchain developers are like the people who help keep this big book organized and its usage smooth.

They build and maintain the software that makes the blockchain work, and they help create new applications and services that use the blockchain to do things like make transactions and keep track of important records.

So, in short, a blockchain developer is someone who builds and maintains software that uses the blockchain technology to help people do things online in a secure and trustworthy way.

Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.
