My mind currently is on the Blockchain. It’s all I can think about. Before this year, I had heard and knew little about Cryptocurrencies. I knew nothing about the Blockchain. Like most people unfamiliar in this technology, I thought BitCoin was the only Cryptocurrency.

I am an accountant, and had a passing interest in what I thought was another tech fad. It was something I knew about since 2014, but never studied it.

Late March of this year, after ending another job assignment, I saw under my YouTube recommendations a video: Blockchain Might Remake Accounting. Huh. Sure, whatever.

However, my curiosity took hold. I watched Tom Hood, CEO of the Business Learning Institute, explain Blockchain.

By the end of the half hour video, I realized

That I become #FutureReady OR

Do nothing and allow Blockchain to make most of what Accountants do redundant and obsolete, disrupting my career.

My unquenchable thirst for knowledge is never ending and my reading habits are voracious. I blame my dad (he was a true Renaissance Man, and if I have time, I will talk about him here soon). I think Blockchain has quenched my thirst.

Eventually, I whittled down all the information I found about Blockchain. As of this date, I have compiled over 130 websites pertaining to Blockchain and/or Cryptocurrency. My laptop currently holds several dozen whitepapers on the subjects. My Meetup list is now primarily Blockchain based. Have a read through all the sites and papers? No, but I’ve skimmed through most of them and hope to understand it all very soon.

I’ve decided to go on a sabbatical and learn as much as I can about this new technology, so that it becomes my next career choice. I hope my eyeballs are prepared for the onslaught of information.
