You just have to learn one step at a time. Read more and read again if you dont understand, slowly but surely you will get there. Try to join in all steemit meetup to understand better, even when you think it is repetitive, you just listen. When you listen to it repetitively you will understand it eventually.

When you want to invest in anything, you need to be able to learn it, write it down in your notes, refer back your notes when you are lost. That’s the best way to learn.

Read the steemit whitepaper, steemit bluepaper, SMT Whitepaper. It can be found in your right top corner of your steemit windows.
