# All about Crypto tech and economics

## Welcome to living collaborative resource on Crypto 
### Background
* There has been explosive development in crypto in [10 years since Bitcoin paper](https://knowen.org/nodes/24194): from niche hacker activity, to anonymous payment system, [consensus mechanisms](https://knowen.org/nodes/24201?path=19-24180-24201) to [ecosystem building.](https://knowen.org/nodes/24227?path=19-24180-24227) There is [a myriad of active projects](https://knowen.org/nodes/24248?path=19-24180-24248), ranging from replicating existing systems and services, to completely new ones. There is lots of information around; **the time has come to organize and make sense of it.**
* We started accumulating and organizing the information according to activities, [technologies](https://knowen.org/nodes/24219?path=19-24180-24219), and applications, revealing connections between projects and technologies, collecting [the news](https://knowen.org/nodes/24181) and information on working groups, conferences, and meetings.
* **Our goal is to have the most complete, intuitive, and up-to-date resource on crypto**

### Where do I start?
* Open the [Graph of pages](https://knowen.org/nodes/24180?graph=open), and take a quick look. Looks interesting? 
* Dig in deeper into subtopics, but never get lost with the Graph of pages just click away.

### How can I help?
* Create an account in knowen and *start commenting on existing content to point out mistakes, or make suggestions* for extensions and improvements. Contribute to [public](https://knowen.org/nodes/1) as well as to [private](https://knowen.org/nodes/19) projects.
* Draft and discuss old and new ideas. [An example about "The nature and the risks of consensus"](https://knowen.org/nodes/24423?path=19-24180-24201-24423). Save good links quickly with some brief thoughts.
* Join us in writing new content -- contact Collaborators (use the top panel) and learn how to use [Knowen](https://knowen.org/nodes/1)

### Why should I spend my time on All Things Crypto?
* There is a reasonable chance that this could grow into a go-to resource on crypto, and you will be at the origins of it. Crypto Wikipedia?!
* [Further thoughts about "All Things Crypto"](/nodes/24418) can be useful and [the older outline](/nodes/24413)
* It is a quick and fun way to learn, and always be able to come back to what you learned.
