Resources for learning

[SWMJ]

Hi everybody!

Don't call me Dr. Nick, just point me in the direction of some good resources for learning more about bitcoin, blockchain etc. It's quite fascinating, and there is a lot of reading, watching and listening to do if I need to get through everything, so it would be awesome, if you could point me in the right direction, when it comes to this kind of resources, that can educate me a little about this.

Looking forward to your recommendations!

If you're planning on holding any bitcoin any time soon, I suggest focusing on learning on how to secure your funds before actually buying bitcoin; unless you want to be another statistic on the number of lost/stolen funds from hacks and scams.

Great suggestions!

And a very good point about securing the funds, thanks for that!

I think Reddit has always been a resource that brings crypto enthusiasts around the world together. Therefore, in addition, maybe you can consider some of the subreddits below.

r/CryptoCurrency

Provides a lot of content such as the latest news, tips for beginners, market analysis, and others.

r/Bitcoin

A special forum for bitcoin discussions where we can get market information, technical developments and adoption.

r/CryptoTechnology

Hope the links you where directed to proves to be helpfull to you I found them helpful myself when I came in newly.
But the advice you need now is for you to be patient and crawl before you walk then run after ward you can fly.
Some of those link would be difficult to comprehend due to your level but if you can trust me and be patient here on the forum closely observing discussion on thread reading post, answers to questions asked don't rush you level of growth. Link fine wine the forum gets better and more enjoyable with time and consistency.
