Bitcoin Forum

Hi guys,

I am running a small developer team and we are more and more moving towards blockchain development. I am technical, however, now I am more acting as business manager, CTO, bitch for everything...

I need to get to a point where I can decide, what blockchain suites which project (for data storage, AI, big-data, BI...) and I need to understand more of the rough technical backgrounds like lightning... not only for bitcoin but overall.

I went through all Udemy Courses and a few other ones but those are all just scratching the surface.

Can you recommend good courses, books or other resources in that regard? I don't need deep coding understanding, just from the architecture side.

Thanks for the help
Michael

The blockchain is essentially a decentralized database in which the operations and benefits are a shared mechanism. All nodes participate in the process and all nodes benefit from it.

Try this one out ;)

Andreas has been known to Blockchain Community as one its 'guru'.
If you're not convinced you can watch these videos where he gets to talk and explains about Bitcoin

Why do you need books or courses? Learn practice right away. Download source code on github and go lean!

Yeah, I did read all of his books and even have pre-ordered his ETH book :) Andreas is a genius. Is there more around with his level in a more general sense - that can help me with high level tech / architecture decissions?

If you are doing your project, then you are a practitioner! And I don't think the theorists in the courses will tell you what you don't know)

I'm in the look out as well for bitcoin tools we could use. This just goes to show there's a growing demand for crypto education. I hope courses, workshops etc will be offered soon.

In my view, Blockchain allows schools to provide greater opportunities to teachers, parents, and even community members to get involved.
All of these elements can be directly involved and activate a new learning structure. With hope, will increase the willingness of learning for their students. As is well known, Blockchain is a digital transaction recording book, with a distributed system, capable of recording and storing verifiable transactions with validity.

I'm not interested in reading books, so I do not have in-depth knowledge, but this forum in addition to Github is the fastest way to learn.
You can try reading:
 1. An Architectural Assessment of Bitcoin (https://ac.els-cdn.com/S1877050915003026/1-s2.0-S1877050915003026-main.pdf?_tid=01417a28-a88d-4de5-8eb0-575a292757f9&acdnat=1526443780_c61e9f86052aacdf1eedad637c0a7228): It is a simplified and faithful copy of many useful references
 2.  Mastering Bitcoin: I think you read it.
Discuss what you know, and you'll find that you've gained information quickly

Hahaha. I know how being a bitch for everything feels. I work in a small furniture business my family owns. :P


I am sorry to break your bubble but you might need to rethink why you want to use a "blockchain". Most businesses and projects do not need one.


A good place to start your Bitcoin journey is in the developer documentation, https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-documentation

Here is some general links for starting out as well –

• https://bitcoin.org/en/getting-started
• https://medium.freecodecamp.org/explain-bitcoin-like-im-five-73b4257ac833
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9jOJk30eQs

and for a larger list of resources go here –

Additional Information:

• Coursera has an online class through princeton that is amazing and totally free. It is from 3 years ago, but you will intimately learn cryptos. It's an unbelievable resource.

I think you can search for videos, but it progress so fast...the best way to learn about it is practice

If I myself think Blockchain may be enough to affect the education system in the next 10 years. KnowledgeWorks is a non profit company with a working focus to ensure that every student can receive quality learning. So that students can open opportunities to develop in further education in college, career, and for life.

sad how my college refuse to this  :P

for now i think there is nothing like courses of bitcoin or cryptocurrency. but you can find it online.
There are some tutorial about bitcoin and cryptocurrency from some peoples, i learned from them

I am sure you are a very smart person, can even create your own token with your friends in a group.

you do not need to learn to other people, because you yourself already understand the procedure of making tokens and understand with Blockchain network. maybe a little spice to learn you from Google and Youtube. Keep the spirit alive, my friend ! I will continue to support you.

There are a lot of articles all over the internet in which there is a lot of info on blockchain, you need to look through different blogs, for example here is one interesting article: https://icoguide.com/en/blog/5-ways-blockchain-can-revolutionize-digital-marketing

I haven't had much luck with online courses. Perhaps maybe a couple, but even then, only managed to derive value from a few chapters.

I see that many have mentioned Andreas Antonopoulos - I honestly believe his YT channel/books are some of the best resources out there. One of the most engaging speakers I've come across, and very well informed.

Other than that, I usually follow influencers in the space (depending on blockchain) - be it on BitcoinTalk/Twitter/Reddit, and I usually go hunting for their blogs. Many of them appear to have personal blogs or medium accounts. So that helps too!

Another gem I found recently was Mango Research  (https://www.mangoresearch.co/). This blog is pretty good if you're looking for Blockchain tech explained in layman terms. They use analogies for many of their breakdowns (If you're into that kinda stuff)

I'm hoping to compile a list of resources soon. Will share it with the community as soon as its up :)

Block chain education is very beneficial for students or students who specialize in information technology students to help them grasp the advanced technology as they will be the owners of the technology days roof

Its really important to have blockchain education today blockchain is really going to be the core of the whole industrial sector. Blockchain can transform may industries, some of them are:
1.   In banking and financial sector: We all know that big investments banks spend billions of dollars on these jobs. But it is estimated that these banks can save a huge amount of money spend on clearing and settlement with the help of blockchain technology. Many banks across the world are trying to shift their payments system on the blockchain technology. This would offer higher security and simultaneously reduce the costs involved in processing the payments between their clients and organizations. 
2.   Smart contracts: Blockchain provides an encrypted database of transactions which means that once a deal is made, neither of the party can deviate from the terms of the contract. With the help of blockchain technology, smart contracts can be made more secure. 
3.   Artificial intelligence: Since blockchain technology can guarantee the accuracy of data, it can be useful in many Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. Blockchain will allow the emergence of a marketplace for AI. AI along with blockchain will lower the barriers to entry for the small players and reduces the competitive advantage available to the tech giants.
4.   Supply Chain Management: In blockchain, each product is given a tag which secures the supply chain in just a second. All the information, like the place of storage, property certificates, place of origin, is available in a single ledger, which further adds to the security. Blockchain technology allows the business partners to share and discuss important information with each other directly, thus, eliminating the need for an intermediary

Ethersscan website have a huge resources to help anyone to understand smart contract development and other mining terminologies. I think acquiring such a knowledge from the website can aid you to know more from other sources too

Bitcoin always experiences transaction movements and always runs all the time, and I think it's impossible to stop bitcoin in a day.

by 2018 everyone including newcomers is more focused on bitcoin prices alone
they are not aware, that a very powerful bitcoin technology is the best reason to get to be a digital technology that will revolutionize the world's economic system

Michael, you asking for opinion of forum members is understandable as it is clear that you and your team lacked the requisite skill to go into development. My candid advise will be that of consulting professional developers to join your team in addition to some of the suggestions on what to watch or read.

Blockchain education is very much important most especially in the Digital assets world it gives the beneficiaries the ability to teach those who knows nothing about Digital assets what it's all about. I believe cryptocurrency world is a place where learning never ends since technology keep improving and we must learn everyday.

I dont have recomendation books about blockchain. But many website right now give education about blockchain and cryptocurrency. Beside that, this forum provide many information about bitcoin or altcoin.

I beleive that Blockchain may be enough to affect the education system in the next 10 years. KnowledgeWorks is a non profit company with a working focus to ensure that every student can receive quality learning.

I Also believe Blockchain allows schools to provide greater opportunities for teachers, parents, and even community members to get involved.wow

This is a very good think to discuss.. Everyone needs to know about Blockchain nowadays. In schools, they must start to teach about it. This is the new world and crypto will rule it. Who doesn't know about cryptocurrency will loose..

if you ask me about what is a good books or courses about bitcoin and blockchain, honestly i don't know.
But in this forum, there are plenty of knowledge resources you can learn for yourself. You must spend your time for searching it though.

Now-a-days people are more interested to know technology news everyday.Blockchain is one of them.It is the most popular issue also.Blockchain education is needed in our everyday life.We can use this in various ways.Blockchain is used in this forum and there are many ICO here by using blockchain technology.So,we need to know the proper education about blockchain.

I think it's good if bitcoin learning is recommended. Not for what, so the unemployed, housewife or student whose family is not capable can earn extra money to support their lives. They can be taught to invest, mining and also get bitcoin. It should also be taught in detail so that they are not mistaken about bitcoin. I also suggest that articles and books on bitcoin be released so they can add knowledge about bitcoin.

Blockchain Education in the near future would be made complimentary pass world wide for all students.

You need to learn more about this market, it is what works best for you, it gives the beneficiary the ability to teach those who do not know anything about digital assets what it is all about. .

To every user of Bitcoin, organization should provide some basic information about blockchain. Rules and laws of Blockchain must be provided to every user. A small chapter comprises of information about cryptocurrency must be included in course study of computer students.

Saya rasa dengan edukasi blockchain ini keberadaan teknologi baru tentu akan memberikan aspek positif bagi mereka yang masih belum mengerti tentang blockchain.

go and look for  blockgeek on google it might be helpful they offer high quality content of blockchain courses

Studying blockchain is very very awesome nowadays because the system of it and how it works is awesome. we must study!

I strongly believe that this subject will be very important for young people. They should be more aware of new technologies because in the future they will definitely have a deal with them

In my opinion it is great for teenagers. I think that young people are interested in new things and technologies so it will be helpful for their education

In a few years blockchain education will be taught in primary schools. Almost every university ranked in the top 100 has a course about this topic. The greater the exposure, the best for all of us

Many people have talked and write as much as possible about blockchain, there are a lot of articles all over the internet in which infomation about blockchain can be fetch. you need to look through different blogs, here is one interesting article about blockchain: https://icoguide.com/en/blog/5-ways-blockchain-can-revolutionize-digital-marketing

Blockchain can be applied in many areas of life, such as health, finance, agriculture, etc. This technology will be implemented in the next  years because it is very efficient, safe and difficult to abuse because blockchain is decentralized and spread across many servers so they support each other. Because this technology is new, the world of education must continue to provide education and training.

Do u really need books to learn the blockchain technology,i learned a lot from this bitcoin forum and you'll also can do same,but I still concur with you,bitcoin is decentralized and considering it's wide spread nature,i think education in the system won't be a bad idea

Yes, I think everyone needs to know about Blockchain like starting to teach it in high school, because I believe that in the future the world will grow, and the world of technology will be all digital so it is very important for everyone to understand the digital world like the blockchain system.

Blockchain Education:

Blockchain technology is all most without argument, the topic of the year and is even more high profile for the accounting and financial services industries. All most without exception, major conferences, journals, media publication and most conversations, are impacted by this technology.    

Go to a bookstore around your city, there must be books about Bitcoin and Blockchain
then buy a book that suits your wishes, I really like people like this, who like blockchain, not just with the price of Bitcoin

Blockchain growing demand for crypto education I hope that some schools are allows to have a greater opportunities to everyone mostly to students and teachers because of that it  will increase the willingness of learning for their students and the their knowledge will added and improve about bitcoin.

Block chain education is a very very awesome idea for people who are interested for the  future technologies and it will boost the market of it , if many people will learn about it. It is good for students and also for people who are in technology side.

blockchain education? does blockchain need schooling when u can just watch videos on youtube to get a better knowledge about what blockchain is all about, how the nodes form a block and all that. an i guess this forum is even one of the easy acces to understand blockchain perfectly well.

i hear about nine universities in the united states of america are now offering blockchain related courses and the students are will interesting in learning and i believe with your position of responsibility, you can go for what level of understanding you want there and you sure will get it

I think it's best if btcoin learning is taught to students aged 17 and above. This is because they can ease the burden of their parents and can earn their own money without asking from parents as well as those who are still unemployed.

Blockchain education is really an effective thing for Bitcoin users. Blockchain are the backbone of every cryptocurrency, so learning about blockchain is the secret to success in bitcoin marketing, trading, investing etc. They are differ medium of Blockchain education are available. In. My opinion video education is better, because it is more interactive and easy to understand. Another best way to educate people about blockchain is blockchain campaign and this is more interactive then video lectures.

If you don't know about bitcoin yet, then this course can be benefit for you. Also you are lucky that you do not have to pay for this course as you got a free coupon for it.  Otherwise if you already know about it, you can give this course to some Newbie for him to learn

I think the blockchain courses are very necessary and it is the basic foundation that allows us to reach deeper and deeper with the blockchain. However, there are very few courses and it does not work as expected. In the future, I hope there will be a center or something that can help us better access the blockchain.

People like blockchain, not just for the price of Bitcoin. Mass-flow education is a very great idea for people interested in future technologies and it will boost its market if more people will learn about it. No blockchain to learn when u can just watch the video on youtube to get a better idea of what blockchain is all about, how the nodes form a block and all that.

Now the bitcoin has become very successful and the most popular crypto currency and not among all crypto but all among all the kinds of investment, the era of bitcoin has been started and now more and more people wants to invest into bitcoin and wants to be a part of bitcoin and there are still millions of people who are investing into bitcoin so no need to explain that how huge and potentiating crypto currency the bitcoin is, so for the future generations, Blockchain education is very much necessary so I think bitcoin should be teach in school and colleges.
