Intresting thing I thought in this 5 days

generated my first solana keypair from scratch and stared at the terminal for a solid 10 seconds πŸ˜…
no username. no email. no password. just a public key staring back at me β€” and that IS my identity on-chain. that's the shift. in web2 you log in. In web3 you prove you exist with cryptography.
went from zero setup to sending actual SOL between two wallets on devnet in 5 days. the moment sendAndConfirmTransaction resolved and both balances updated β€” that's when it stopped being theory.
what surprised me most: a wallet isn't a container for your tokens. the tokens don't "live" in your wallet. your wallet is just a keypair that proves you have authority over them.
next up β€” going deeper on on-chain identity and program interactions. day 6 and beyond πŸ‘€
