Solana is one of the cryptocurrencies available in the current Blockchain market that gaining attention to many techies. Whether you are Python, Node or PHP developer, Solana will be one of the first platform to learn web3 technology.
This is what I am learning in 100daysofSolana event. In order to start with any cryptocurrencies, you need some balance in your account to transact. You need some framework that will ease development of applications. You need a standard that will be accepted by global networks. Solana is right place for you.
From the first day of events, I learn how I can create my wallet in my laptop and fund it with 2.5 SOL. As a normal person, when you go to bank you have to create account and asks Counter to deposit money. Here you just create an account and you fund the test amount from faucet.solana.com. Website will fund the test amount and you can see that in your balance.
You can sign the transaction too!
Next day I learn about Browser wallet and Mobile wallet which may be looking a simple things for techie. But interesting part was you can transfer SOL amount between your wallet. Example: Cli wallet >> Browser wallet. or even Browser wallet >> Phone Wallet.
It may be not interesting in first, but what about backend developer? As a backend developer working on integrating payment system, testing transaction is the first steps to check everything is working. Solana libraries provide all of these.
Even if you are not a developer, you can be admin who will manage all the transaction, signing the transaction using your private key or hardware device.

Imagine you have to sign 1000 transaction in 1 minutes, it may be 10 SOL or 100 SOL or any integer number SOL. You have ways to do in SOL. It saves lots of time with security.
Honestly I am still learning this grate platform. Why not you join and check if I am saying true or not.
