It takes a long to to become an expert in blockchain/bitcoin but if you are very active here you can learn a lot in bitcoin also in blockchain just always start a thread about it and become expert someday..
thats true, it is a sophisticated technology that requires a lot of time if you actually want to understand it completely

There are different parts to Bitcon so it's difficult to become an expert. For example, there is an economics and monetary component that exists. You said you're an economics major so you may be comfortable with that part. However, the largest area of learning for Bitcoin is in the math and technology. Some people just don't like math and technology. They do just enough to get by and no more. If you're a person like this you'll never be a Bitcoin expert. On the contrary, if you're the opposite, someone that absolutely loves math and technical things you have a very good chance at becoming an expert as long as you put in the time to learn.

You might want to start with the book Mastering Bitcoin by Andreas Antonopoulos. It's a freely open source book which can be seen here:

https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook and it's also available from Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Bitcoin-Unlocking-Digital-Crypto-Currencies/dp/1449374042

You can try out Lynda. It's a library where you will get lots of stuff from programming to cryptocurrencies, from beginner to advanced stuff that will help you to learn whatever you want, at your own time.

The best way to learn something is by using it.  You can spend all day reading white papers and studying the technology and you will still feel like you know nothing.

The blockchain is the core technology that allows cryptocurrencies to exist, and Bitcoin is the first implementation.  It really depends what you want to do with it.  You should at least have a basic understanding of how the software works and there's a lot of great youtube videos out there which do a great job explaining.  But you don't need to have a working knowledge of the programming itself.  As a Econ major think about how the currency applies as a unit of trade and consider the implications of a fully digitized economy.

After that, you'll need direct experience if you want to be an expert.  Use the software, launch startups related to the industry and you will learn or fail trying Smiley.  It is a constant process and not one you'll ever stop.  There will be maybe a few days where you feel like you understand everything and then weeks where you feel lost and behind the curve. Just. Keep. Learning.  From all sources. 

Experts are made by dedication, not certification programs.  I'm very grateful BTC doesn't have anything like that and I sincerely hope it never does.  Cert programs just mean that a particular body calls you an expert, it doesn't automatically make you one.

I would suggest getting active with bitcoin by buying some and trying it out by spending and trading it. You might also want to try mining just to get a feel for the importance of mining (you're probably not going to make money at it).

I am currently an economics major and have zero experience is programming or software development or network security. If I wanted to be an expert in blockchain technology with the ultimate goal of creating a blockchain unicorn sometime down the line, how does one chart the course?
If you want to become a Bitcoin/Blockchain Expert you must gather some data from the professional to that field, gather opinion and advice to professional to this forum, and dont become shy to asked questions.

First, you will have to understand that you will have to learn a substantial amount of programming and cryptography. All the blockchain is is encrypted data.

you will not become an expert by taking a Lynda's or any other course,however good it may be
a friend of mine,who is a teacher with 22 years of experience,once said that if you cannot explain the subject to a 6 year old so that he understands it,you are not an expert in that field
an expert is someone who not only read all the technical info and has a very indeep understanding of it,but also applied his knowledge on practice and is also able to explain how bitcoin works to a 6 year old Smiley
experts don't have to refer to manuals to tell you how this or that works,they create the said manuals themselves

There are a lot of courses offered on block chain technologies. If you want to become more familiar with bitcoins technology, there is a good course on Coursera offered by Princeton university. Check that out.

I suppose by reading satoshi's whitepaper1,

Satoshi's white paper is quite technical and complicated. It's inappropriate for a beginner.
