OMFG 1 Year already 😱

Exactly 1 year ago, on Feb 19, 2021, I monetized my YT Channel.

It took me 192 days and 145 videos🥵

With zero experience in making videos and a great initial embarrassment.

Here is the thread I wrote 1 year ago to help YOU that are struggling.

1. Find YOUR way

I had to start making a video in a strange way for a developer...by RUNNING!

This for various reasons
- I like to run
- I didn't feel confident speaking in front of a camera
- I did that for charity so it was a boost for me

A very strange way, but it worked
2. Focus on one goal at a time

Instead of wanting to create the BEST VIDEO EVA', I focused on small little goals, in the form of challenges.

And coming from the sports world this is the way my brain works!
3. Don't let a bad comment or a dislike drag you down

I got dislikes and some bad comments. But this happens. It happens to everybody, even on the Dalai Lama's Official YouTube channel.

If he gets those, this should make you feel way more relaxed!

Keep doing what you love
5. Work hard

Sorry, but there is not a secret, magic tip. You need to work. Results will come, don't worry

Keep pursuing your dreams, and even if you will fail sometimes, you will be successful in the long run!

4. Long videos

The Problem with monetization is not 1000 subscribers but 4000 watching hours.

So you need long videos

Of course, there are exceptions, like a good viral video, but this is what helped me a lot to reach monetization in a relatively short period of time

Public vs private Ethereum thread

The Ethereum blockchain can run on the public network (Mainnet).

There are pros and cons for both.

Let's see them briefly

🧑‍🤝‍🧑Public
Apps built on the Mainnet are able to interoperate, similarly to how apps can cooperate on Internet, using the potential of decentralized blockchain.

🔒Private
Many businesses have deployed private, permissioned blockchains for specific apps based on Ethereum.

🔲Solidity Videos on YouTube

When I want to learn something new, I start with a video (usually on YT).

If you want to learn the Solidity programming language, here is a list of videos I have watched and which I recommend watching.

Final thoughts at the end.

Video Resources - Solidity ...
Solidity in 100 Seconds by @fireship_dev

The world-famous format to give you a good idea just before your Solidity developer interview.

I am joking but it helps a ton.

Solidity, Blockchain, and Smart Contract Course – Beginner to Expert Python Tutorial @PatrickAlphaC

It has the length of a Netflix Series, but it's probably worth more to jump into your blockchain development🐸

When you want to go somewhere, it is important to have a map or a navigator.

"What is the path to learning Web3?" is one of the most common questions I get every day.

A thread of valid Web3 Roadmaps.

My final thoughts at the end.

WalletConnect thread.

Today I have checked WalletConnect site and docs.

It's a protocol to communicate between Wallets (e.g. Metamask) and Apps (like OpenSea)

The current version is 1.0. There's a 2.0beta version.

A very interesting tool from a developer's point of view.

Client Diversity thread.

Having multiple clients is a feature of the Ethereum blockchain

It will become even more so after the merge!

But why bother developing several clients instead of just one?

Let's see.

Web3 threads. Client diversity

Shared responsibility

Introduction

An Ethereum node runs on a client, but there is not a single type of client, there are many.

The clients are built using common specifications to ensure:
- same UX
- same functionality
- communication with other nodes

Now the distribution is not diverse enough.
