If someone is curious to learn more about crypto, telling them to read the Bitcoin/Ethereum white paper isn’t a great recommendation.
It’s boring. They’re very unlikely to care about it.
Get them set up earning 7-10% on stablecoins. The technical curiosity will follow.
Three ways you can do this right now (disclaimer: I hold all of these platform's tokens):
SAFEST
1. Get USDC from Coinbase 2. Transfer to @MetaMask 3. Deposit in @AaveAave 4. You are now earning 6.26%. DAI interest is slightly higher if you prefer.
MORE INTERESTING
1. Get DAI from Coinbase 2. Transfer to @MetaMask 3. Deposit in @AlchemixFi 4. Borrow max alUSD (50%) 5. Convert alUSD to DAI on @CurveFinance 6. Back to Coinbase 7. Back to Fiat
Your original amount is earning 6.9%, but 50% is back in cash. Basically 14%.
NAT GAS IS EXPENSIVE PLZ CHEAPER OPTION
1. Buy SOL on Coinbase 2. Transfer to @phantom wallet 3. Buy USDC on @Saber_HQ 4. Deposit in USDC/UST pool 5. Stake pool tokens on @Solfarmio
This is the most complicated, but you're now earning 20% on a stablecoin pair
Yes all this is covered in DeFi Orientation too :)
1. Buy USDC on Coinbase 2. Transfer to Metamask 3. Deposit into @CurveFinance 3Pool 4. Deposit into @MIM_Spell 3Pool 5. Borrow at 90% leverage with 10 loops
You're now earning 65% on stablecoins with cortisol maximizing leverage. Have fun!
None of this is financial advice, please don’t risk money you can’t afford to lose, be sure to consult your local retired Goldman Sachs partner to decide if you’d rather do this or save $5 a week by making coffee at home.

There's one course I took in High School that I still use daily, and that was arguably the most helpful class I ever took:
Research Methods.
Everyone should have to take a class like this.
It was basically a semester of reading scientific research papers and trying to parse them for the takeaways.
Was this a well-done study?
Are the conclusions valid?
How was it done?
What were the conflicts?
What're the caveats?
Did it replicate?
When you take a class like this you realize a few things:
1. Almost no one reports scientific research accurately.
If you're reading or watching the news talk about science you don't really have any idea what's going on because they have no idea what they're talking about.
The big question we had going into it was how to guarantee the price didn't get jacked up by whales and bots, which would price out the community members.
So, we airdropped 5% of the total supply to people based on how many Raider NFTs they had.
That ended up being $2.5m.
It also meant that for anyone who bought a CryptoRaider character before the last week, your character more than paid for itself.
We were a little worried that everyone would get their tokens and dump on the market, but instead...
