1. Learn how blockchains work.
2. Go learn Solidity. Write a few smart contracts. Go try to hack a few. https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/v0.8.11/ https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/v0.8.11/ & https://ethernaut.openzeppelin.com/ https://ethernaut.openzeppelin.com/ is a good starting point.
3. Read Smart Contracts that you use. Understand them (if you can't, go ask people who created them on Discord or reddit).
4. Be in awe that we can have such applications without any 3rd party.
Have more questions? Ask on reddit or Discord.

If you can't explain to people why they should give a damn, that's on you. As far as I can tell, you're just promoting a scam on too-good-to-be-true promises and FOMO.

- DanHulton 5y agoYou missed some steps at the end there: 5. ??? 6. Free high interest! 7. Oh no, a bug! 8. The code is the contract, sorry. 9. Coins lost forever.
- tomc1985 5y agoWhy do we have to 'be in awe'? That sounds like marketing copy.
