you know how people only ever talk about $BTC and $ETH? I never knew the difference until recently.
$BTC is a protocol for decentralizing money. $ETH is a protocol for decentralizing ANYTHING!

you can learn how to leverage ethereum and build decentralized apps (aka dapps) on top of the distributed network.
Melon is the protocol for building decentralized hedge funds.
Theoretically there can be protocols for building anything you can think of...

so that's kinda where i'm at. it's been a roundabout journey, this #DeFi world is insane, my ledger nano X is in the mail, and I can't wait to provide more updates on the journey.
