Hi everyone, I’m new to Bitcoin and looking for reliable resources to learn from scratch. I’ve heard about Mastering Bitcoin and Andreas Antonopoulos’ videos. What other books, websites, or videos would you recommend for beginners? Thanks in advance

You already have a thread asking a similar question and have gotten a couple of answers too. You should keep using that and reading the replies you get rather than creating a new thread.

You can also ask a follow up question there if you are confused with anything.

What do you expect from a brainless chatbot spammer?  He is trying to farm for merits, but I doubt he will get a single one.
Don't even waste time with him. Some members have already noticed his intentions here, and he has already got his AI Spammer badges of honor on his trust profile; namely,

OP, I think what you needed first is not even what you're requesting for, instead you have to go in learning about what is expected of you on the forum, so that you don't go against the normal standard, I will appreciate if you can go through some of the links I want to give you here in learning about the forum and things that are expected from you to do in other to have a nice stay.

Don't create a similar thread again, instead just go to the ones created and make reply there, don't spam or troll, read all that had been given to prevent you from further mistakes.

Since you already have some materials, then I will recommend you take your time to read those materials which you already have, they really going to help you, also the only website which I will recommend to you is this forum, if you take your time to go through the forum, then you are going to learn a lot here, we already have existing threads already, just take your time to go through them, and am sure you really going to learn here, and if there is anything you don’t understand, and you can’t find more information about it, then you can just create a thread to ask about it, and am sure you going to get the answer which you need.

Thing is, it's not just about creating a thread asking for materials, would you make out time to read those materials or watch the YouTube videos that will be recommended, I don't want to feel like this a routine for you guys just to create thread here and after that you disappeared or even do the worst by going against the forum rules which are always part of the materials that we do share as first to be read.

I was about to give some recommendations genuinely but with everyone who has already provided resources, they're in it already. And also, kindly read the 2nd and 3rd post. Many newbies are like this nowadays, they will ask for the sake of engagement and they'll not bother to reply on the thread that they have made even once, no trace of them. Hopefully, the mods will lock threads like this once reported since we've got stickies too that will help newbies if only they read and open them.

Mastering Bitcoin is more about the technical side of things, but you won’t really understand what Bitcoin is just by reading that book. To truly grasp Bitcoin, you need to read ‘The Bitcoin Standard’ and ‘The Broken Money.’
‘Mastering Bitcoin’ is like a book explaining how a car engine works, but it doesn’t explain what a car is or what it’s used for.

I’d also recommend these two YouTube channels: Rajat Soni’ and BTC University. They create a lot of great videos that really explain the core concepts of Bitcoin in an easy-to-understand way

    Bitcoin for Beginners by Peter Kent — a very accessible introduction

    The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous — explains Bitcoin’s economic principles and history

It's great to see you're starting to get interested in Bitcoin, there are tons of resources you can use to deepen your knowledge of the Bitcoin industry, but I would recommend Bitcointalk to you as a trusted resource for beginners. Here you can learn many things because every information shared here is very accurate and trustworthy.
There is a lot to learn in preparation for going further in the Bitcoin industry, try to stay here for a long time to increase your knowledge about Bitcoin and everything related to it. If you have time, try reading the thread recommended by @348Judah, it will help you a lot in many ways including avoiding all the things that are prohibited in the forum.

Guys, read the first two replies in this topic. This is an AI spammer who is asking the questions and wasting everyone's time, best to ignore their topics.
