Here're some good youtube videos for you:

I strongly recommend you to study at bitcoinwiki.org for that. You can find all the answers there.

Also check coursera, they have special courses about crypto, very interesting by the way.

I also can recommend some books:
1. "Digital Gold" by Nathaniel Popper
2. "Cryptoassets: The Innovative Investor's Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond" by Chris Burniske and Jack Tatar
3. "Blockchain Revolution" by Don Tapscott and Alex Tapscott
4. "The Age of Cryptocurrency" by  Paul Vigna and Michael J. Casey
5. "American Kingpin" by Nick Bilton

Welcome Mr. Eggs!

I am new to the forum too but active behind the scenes for a few years.

Happy to share a small number of high-quality resources that really helped me, I use or link to these often.


Andrea Antonopoulos explains blockchain/bitcoin/crypto to the masses better than anyone. Phenomenal Books, inspiring lectures.

His Books- https://antonopoulos.com/books/
His Youtube Channel- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJWCJCWOxBYSi5DhCieLOLQ

Amazing very visual learning guides. Powerful for beginners and intermediates.

https://www.upfolio.com/

Profiting, here is a short list of my favorites:

Active Traders sharing Investment Strategy: https://www.tradingview.com/
Data Dash Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCatR7nWbYrkVXdxXb4cGXw
Chris Dunn Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdC3h2m88FC02Yw-A_VESRQ
ICO investing: https://icobench.com/

Portfolio Tracker
Currently using https://www.blockfolio.com/ as are a lot of others, but open to a better one.
Offline spreadsheets for more in-depth tracking.

News Source
Struggling on this one, if anyone has a resource to suggest I would love to hear. Lots of options, few are really useful when moving quickly. Need something that filters news down to coins/tokens I own.

Hello Crypto Pioneers,

I'm looking to go from zero to hero in the crypto world by understanding how to maximize this space, i'm hoping you experts (or fellow newbies) can help point me in the direction of some solid information on how to better understand and profit from Crypto.

I purchased a book arriving tomorrow, and also a course from Udemy, any book, or course or experts you guys recommend, greatly appreciated.

I'll try and help all my new friends on the forum here as much as I can.

Hello Mr Eggs, I joined others to welcome you to the community and wish you a happy stay. Contrary to you referring us to crypto pioneers, a lot of us are way far from that nomenclature and the reason for that is so that you know that we are only a few steps away from you in terms of knowledge and you don't just fall for every analysis someone post on the forum at your losses in the end.

Its good that you have ordered a book that shows the enthusiasm of someone willing to learn but beyond that the forum is a great repository of knowledge where you get to see undiluted expressions of self and how sometimes brutal it could be. The take out, you should be ready to read and read. Several threads and topics have been created already just search, you can go through Google and it will give you the link. Do this diligently and in six months, you are mentoring someone as well.

Make sure to read Digital Gold by Nathaniel Popper. The crypto classic.

Read about Bitcoin, Blockchain, Ethereum, and Smart-contracts. Those will be some solid starting points. Good luck on your crypto journey!

The best way to start learning about Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies is to figure out why Blockchain technology is so important. The main reason is Cryptocurrencies do what banks do… But better! Bitcoin is a quick and efficient way to transfer wealth. Cryptocurrencies are starting to take a chunk out of banks profits. Not only this, but Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are making people rich! So it’s no surprise so many people are pouring in.

Wikipedia has a lot of great information about Bitcoin. There are also some great books about Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies. You don’t need to know how the technology works to start investing but it helps put everything into perspective.
