If you are thinking on how to get some proper financial education, including crypto, it may be difficult to work around the massive amount of dis-information. Too many you tubers selling you "the best trading strategy" or "giveaways" or "this fantastic project" or "investment with high yield".
For those in the forum that consider that have succeeded in understanding economy, currency, crypto and bitcoin... would you like to help other and put forward the best resources? Ideally, those that can be understood by a 12 year old, as many people here do not have the privilege of a good education. I will have a look at the answers an probably wrap around the results if it is worth it.
What is the really basics for you?
I got this from a thread requesting info on crypto alone:

As the above said.

Khan Academy has a good basic series of lectures on bitcoin.
https://www.coursera.org/learn/cryptocurrency
Coursera's course is more comprehensive. The way its organized and presented is a bit obfuscated and counter intuitive. Which makes it difficult to learn and understand the lessons.

I haven't had a chance to read through the above links yet. They appear to be a good resource on elliptic curve cryptography which bitcoin utilizes.
They are not really degrees though but it's more of a specialty and expertise that you can add as your skill. And that means you can study other courses while studying them at the same time.
