Now 99% of what you learned is obsolete.

6 months later everything was obsolete. It was very hard and a constant battle to keep up!
99% may be obsolete now but who cares? I FIFO everything lie anyway. I still know how the little black boxes in the circuit cards and all the OS software and applications works inside. Most do not today. Everything is just a black box. Magic. There is an App for that!
But once you learn how computers basically work and a software language and how it works it's easy (easier) to learn new languages.
I doubt anyone even knows how to do Bolean logic anymore with AND gates OR gates and NOR gates except maybe computer scientists and professors. Definitely not the techs or administrators. Because they don't think they need to. But it did make my later system administration jobs much easier.
Once my son actually asked me how they get all that stuff inside those little chips.
Reminds me when I was a child and in my ignorance I thought maybe there might be little people inside radios. So I took it all apart to find them. But then I had to figure out how to put it all back together and make it work. Because it was my dads old radio.
And that's how my career started in electronics and which led me to IT.
"Why is Bitcoin worth anything?"
Why is anything worth anything?
Supply and demand. By people.
Money is imaginary. All value is imaginary. Even gold. But especially paper money and coins. They are nearly worthless intrinsically. But we have all agreed to accept money in lieu of things.
You can't eat gold and it doesn't make good weapons. It does make nice jewelry and looks nice and shiny tho.
It's value is only as much as people are willing to pay for it.
