I am keeping a notebook of terms I (or any other n00b) need to learn in order to become somewhat crypto-literate. So far I have the below...any other key terms/phrases to look up?
HODL
GAS
token vs coin
Hard Fork
Blockchain
Cryptokitties
DEX
Tether vs bitUSD
ICO
Bounty
Satoshi
Faucet
Also any resources/learning materials you have found helpful?
Definitely take Cryptokitties off. If you have that on the list you might as well have DOGEcoin on there as well.
I would take any reference to a particular coin off as well. Obviously you need to know the crypto space: BTG, ETH, Litecoin, Monero ... Dogecoin, etc...
But first get an understanding of the technology. How are Bitcoins made? Where do they come from? What is a ledger? What is the block chain? How are these transactions secure? And so on.
Cryptokitties? That's trivia.
