Hi everybody,
I just recently developed an interest in cryptocurrency. I'm a CompSci student with a love for finance and investing so this is a quite convenient middle ground. I would like to one day possibly transition to a career in this field so I would like to learn as much as i can about all aspects of cryptocurrency. I tried googling for a learning roadmap of sorts but haven't come up with anything. I'm interested in the general concepts behind them, more specialised tech that differentiates altcoins, market movement & investing, how to research and evaluate an altcoin, trusted exchanges & wallets and anything else that could be useful.
What i have read so far:-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin-

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2013/11/19/12-questions-you-were-too-embarrassed-to-ask-about-bitcoin-
https://coinreport.net/coin-101/advantages-and-disadvantages-of-bitcoin/-
http://tech.eu/features/808/bitcoin-part-one/ and the rest of the series
I also read quit a bit from different subreddits related to this matter. I would also be interested in the community resources. What are the biggest communities (besides this and reddit), most objective news sources, good blogs to follow, community figureheads to look for, etc...
So far i only made a small investment ($20). I bought around 12 different altcoins on Poloniex based on speculation I saw in the community (probably not a smart thing to do, I know). I did that just to familiarize myself with the platform and to force myself to do some research. Also i don't have a wallet outside of Poloniex. Is that bad? Can i just leave my investment there for years and expect for it to be "safe"?
Any resources, tips and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
