โLive To Learn. Give To Earn.โ
Wealth is not just about having money, itโs about having a fulfilling and meaningful life. What is fulfilling and meaningful is different for everyone, but the core concepts remain the same: remove suffering from yourself first and then remove suffering from others.
The Guardian Academy was built to give you the tools to remove suffering from yourself and then, if you choose, to climb the tiers and become a leader to others. Since TGA is built in a Web3 world, if you choose to climb the tiers, learning about crypto, blockchain and Web3 will be a byproduct of your journey.
Itโs been and long and bumpy road for the earliest adopters of Bitcoin. Since the inception of Bitcoin we have experienced the innovation of blockchain 1.0 and 2.0, we have seen layer 1โs created, forked, and built on top of.
What has become apparent is that there is an endless supply of potential applications of smart contracts and protocols. Innovation requires more than just new technology, it requires application and reinvention; that is to say that in order to be adopted, newcomers must come in and find new and useful ways to utilize what already exists. Just as the internet made it possible for more people to do more good in the world, we believe that blockchain and its applications will do the same; it will be applied on a large scale and profoundly change what is deemed possible. On the long time horizon, we believe blockchain will improve much for posterity. However, there are still problems to be solved (see: What problem are we solving). Since its establishment, the TGA ecosystem has been an observer, participant, and beneficiary in the crypto world. What we have done, will continue to do, and help others do is remove the โdisconnectโ between the โcryptoโ world and the real world.
The greatest benefit to mankind is not isolating the two, but combining them to create meaningful synergies.
What is often colloquially referred to as โThe Guardian Academyโ is the tiered community built around educating people on how to navigate defi safely and various ways of thinking about investing. Even though TGA is blockchain-based, the value of these tiers goes far beyond just investing in crypto.
TGA is designed to put out as much education as possible and create an โarmyโ of Guardians that are contributing to the body of knowledge and helping others navigate the web3 world. The free content is free to peruse, binge, and share however the reader or viewer sees fit. The structured content is designed as a โtieredโ system for students to become โGuardiansโ. By the time one reaches โGuardianโ status they should have a deep understanding of defi, the basics of leadership and know themselves.
"Live To Learn, Give To Earn" Guardians are encouraged to add to the body of knowledge and have a positive impact on the world with the full support of The Guardian Academy, our partners, and collaborators. (See: Incentive programs). EDIT: The only way to become a Guardian in the updated Guardian Academy is to submit a Capstone Project that is voted on by the community to be approved or sent back for edits. Approval means that the community has decided that the project adds to the body of knowledge in a meaningful way.
"But this doesn't look like a crypto project"
This is not a "crypto project". It's a human project, blockchain is one of the tools that students will master as a byproduct of growing as a human with the Guardian Academy. There is great wealth to be made in the web 3 world, ultimately it will be made by the individuals that grow into the type of individuals that know how to earn wealth.
