"Mastering bitcoin" and "The internet of money" by Andreas Antonopoulos is a GREAT way to start
- just an easy flowing written book.
others might think otherwise but to start off as a new comer.. this book is ace..
also just browse through some good articles on what is bitcoin, its functionality, use cases, mining, other attributes, etc. try to understand why it is so important, so hyped, and why banks, financial institutions are incredibly wary of the tech.
learn about third party service providers, any service that requires an intermediary and challenge yourself to see how blockchain can be implemented to remove this, is it realistic, feasible? I think that would be a great way to start.
it's so important to learn the functionalities and technicalities of bitcoin and blockchain before doing anything else.
as a first point: understand that the blockchain allows you to take control and safeguard of your own assets. so take advantage of this technology! learn how to do this as a start before anything else.
