Keep an eye on announcements section, almost all projects post their anns there. You are likely to find gems this way rather than trusting other websites and similar.

Education with cryptocurrency is free especially here in the forum. The only problem with other users wanted to learn is that they need more to learn when in fact one can do a search from here.  Just use the search button and as your questions to which it will lead you too to some answers. Google can also do the same and more broad and answers awaits. Or this section will do by just posting a thread like this then pretty sure you can get more answers from the users here no doubt about that because many here are learning and also willing to share their knowledge and even their expertise.

Learning about cryptocurrency is not mandates this is why we could not expect for someone to do a webinar about it for free. Someone could do it of course but so far I did not know if someone hosting here for a  webinar or group discussions learning about cryptocurrency.

I prefer an investigative search strategy where you can search for a specific idea and then go deeper about the ideas related to that idea, for example

Choose a random topic in the forum, for example, the first topic in the economics section.
Do a search on Google for everything related to it.
Read as many sources as possible.
Repeat the above steps.

In a short time you will find yourself knowing a lot of things.

It looks like you really love to make trading and this is a good thing if you want to explore first we have right here to our forum which is the

 Trading discussion -https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=8.0

You can freely ask a lot of questions related to trading and also learn from the experience of other traders too also in terms of data you can use the Google or any search engine I don't support any kind of website because the one thing is to gather some data and make it into information do not rely on one source only


YouTube too is one of the best platforms in terms if video learning also I want to share the platform I usually view just to learn with the trading.

YouTube is one very good resource if you want to learn about cryptocurrencies, the blockchain technology and trading in general. I learn how to do spot and futures trading through YouTube before I applied the knowledge to practice.

You can also hang around the forum and read awesome articles and posts members make daily

The educational system of cryptocurrency is a self learning one through various means of using search google engines in finding the knowledge about what you want. Understanding the basis of trading, investments and even getting into the field is more of constant readings, researching about bitcoin, blockchain and the technical analysis or knowledge behind it and that's what majority had failed to understand.
I want to start trading and researching new coins opportunities, including small coins with big upside,
There are varieties of new coins trooping into the ecosystem everyday but the problem is researching on the legitimate ones as a daily task which I think its impossible. I would have advise you to focus on bitcoin alone only if you exhibit a lifestyle of practicing long term attitude.

If you are inclined to visual education I think online classes/courses are for you and you can get some free ones online just search as "Free Online Class/Course [Insert Interested Field here]"  and you will see results in Google that are offering it. Don't limit yourself to crypto related courses only as trading is also part of other markets and I think it is more suitable for you and learning them first rather than crypto trading as technical analysis basics is more understandable when it comes to stocks IMO.
Our educational background in my opinion will play an important role in our ability level to understand something like bitcoin and other altcoin including trading. But it is not impossible to get more self taught knowledge on the YouTube and Google.

I am not a person who understand much about economic and trading asset, stock or so on. But an interest in continuing to know about something has made me learn and therefore knowledge continue to grow. I dont think its easy to get to the top because we need a process. Continuous and continuous learning will make us experienced and knowledgeable user.

My two advices.
  • Don't waste your time on other currency, focus on bitcoin.
  • If it doesn't spell Bitcoin,it's scam.

I want to start trading and researching new coins opportunities, including small coins with big upside, but I have so many knowledge gaps in  the field and even in understanding of different financial instruments like futures etc.
What you are saying is not really impossible to achieve. However, it really takes a lot of time in order for you to understand something in particular. I bet that what you are implying here is a basic economic courses that will help widen your knowledge which can eventually help you in trading to be particular.

If for instance that you are really planning to take economic courses, there are available free courses on the internet that you can take, just simply search on the internet for that. Secondly, if want to get started on the basic to advance courses regarding trading, I recommend you this youtube channel I am following to give you a head start.

Hey guys, I was interested in getting more involved in crypto for trading, investing and understanding the field, I am not new to crypto and have been casually involved for years, I understand about trading , general knowledge about difference between bitcoin and Etherium , smart contracts etc, but I am not on top of any developments or new technologies that are being developed or big breakthroughs etc.

I want to start trading and researching new coins opportunities, including small coins with big upside, but I have so many knowledge gaps in  the field and even in understanding of different financial instruments like futures etc.

Is there a website or somewhere where I can catch up on all that stuff or websites that give  free education in that area or do I have to search everything on the web myself?

Thank you.
