Few years ago, I started my journey on Ethereum development. I discovered an amazing and very promising ecosystem that is placing the foundation stones of the future of the internet as we know it.

So today, I decided to write a 'getting started' article as an introduction to some of the more obscure concepts.

Damn, there are still people who believe in the scam?

Whenever you touch legal things (licenses, potentially everything that has to do with money) - NEVER say "this is best practice so we do that" without any explanation. Add short reasoning and description and potentially a link to an in depth article

Example from your article:

> It is recommended that it is included in your code, and the compiler will throw a warning message if it is missing from your file.

Is it really universally recommended to use GPL 3.0 allowing anyone to reuse the smart contract?

"However, it’s not a new topic that cryptocurrency is the future of money, and NFTs are doing incredibly impressive for digital artists."

yeah, this is not only not a new topic, it is so old that it's not even true anymore, as both crypto and NFTs are slowly dying a very expected and completely predictable death of no one actually using it apart from people that tried to scam other people

Devrant has never been the most receptive hub to promote crypto-related content.

Guess we're all just a bunch of cynicists *ahum* realists (PS: I learnt it the hard way too)

Ethereum development itself might not be scam and it's always good to have some documentation and guidance for it, but what has been done in its ecosystem certainly was.
NFTs for example, if done properly are a self generated thing, that doesn't need any external dependencies (not even an external server) to be able to generate their data, and not a paid image link like they are (or were i guess)
