# How Does the Blockchain work?/ Why I do like crypto?
Welcome to the Lawrence Crypto English Podcast!
Today, I'd like to continue with my introduction and talk about why do I like crypto.
While brushing up a bit on the content of the last episode, I would like to be able to speak enough to memorize this script, so I will be broadcasting the same theme again.
so let’s get started!
Hi,I’m Lawrence from crypto english podcast. I was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan. I'm in charge of computer lease contracts and maintenance.
in my free time, I watch movies on Netflix, distribute and listen podcasts on Anchor and stand.fm everyday, research crypto topics, and write newsletters. The name of the newsletter is "Web3 Topics Newsletter," and it is distributed every Wednesday as a free newsletter that helps streamline the gathering of Web3 topics.
The reason why I started the newsletter is because I am interested in working as a researcher for Crypt and I wanted to be able to send out high quality information. Researching crypto is difficult, but it's fun, so I'd like to keep doing it until I can make it my job.
Now, I'd like to talk about why do I like crypto?
In August of 2020, I felt a sense of impatience with the fact that I had been simply working as an office worker. I was not sure if I would be able to become the person I wanted to be in the future if I continued to work like this. so I decided to start a blog to improve my skills.
However, it was very difficult to keep finding and writing blog posts, and I soon ran out of topics for my blog. but I was interested in the words Bitcoin and Ethereum when I saw them on Twitter. When I looked into it, I found it interesting and soon became addicted to it, and started to invest in it myself. At first, it was because I was having trouble finding material for my blog, but from there, I became more and more addicted to crypto.
The reason why I like cryptos is because of its philosophy. The technical background of crypto is the blockchain. Blockchain has features such as decentralization, high secure security, and P2P communication.
With these technologies, you don't need to have a bank account, you don't need to verify that the information is correct every time, you can manage your own information instead of a centralized government or corporate control system, and the system can continue to run sustainably.
When I learned about this technology, I was convinced that our life and society would be completely transformed and that we would move towards a more convenient and productive future.
I believe that we should let machines do what they can do, and let humans do what humans should do, be creative, and spend time with their families and loved ones.
I think this way because I feel that the productivity of my organization is low and I feel that Japan can return to being a more economically powerful country if most of the companies in Japan have higher productivity.
I thought that technologies such as crypto and blockchain might be useful for this purpose, so I decided to immerse myself in the crypto.
OK.That's all for today. Thank you for listening. Please listen again. bye bye.
