Introduction
Things are fairly depressing at the moment, and even if you aren't worried, bear markets are fairly boring. I know I am not doing much apart from my weekly DCA into Bitcoin. Therefore, I have compiled a list of educational resources that I aim to to make my way through over the bear market. This is mainly for myself but I thought others might be interested so I am going to share here.
Below you will find a list of books, blogs, podcasts and courses that are widely recommended in the bitcoin/cryptocurrencies space. If I've read or consumed some of this content and I give some opinion on those but for the others listed here I will just give a small blurb on each.
Just to so you are aware, this list is fairly Bitcoin maxi, I wouldn't say I am 100% a maxi I still hold some ETH, and I will trade alts when the bull market returns, but a lot of that will be with the intention of gaining more Bitcoin. Also because Bitcoin is the first and and most well established cryptocurrency out there it means there is far more educational material relating to it than any other cryptocurrency.
Whitepapers:
You really should read them.
The Bitcoin Whitepaper by Satoshi Nakamoto (How many have actually read this? I would strongly advise everyone to read this at least once it is truly revolutionary)
The Ethereum Whitepaper by Vitalik Buterin (You should probably read this too)
Any other project you are interested in's whitepaper, there are far to many to list here, but I think everyone should have knowledge of the first two.
Courses:
There are loads of absolutely fantastic free courses out there on Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency, I would strongly advise everyone to pick up at least one over the bear market.
Books:
The most traditional form of education on this list, personally I don't have much time to read but pretty much everything on this list has an audio book format, and I find that much easier to digest, while in the Gym or on the road.
Podcasts:
Like Youtube videos below, these probably aren't the very best source of information, however, I love Podcasts and I do rate these a little higher on the education scale than the majority of Youtube channels. The problem is there are just so different topics I end up missing out on a few and not keeping up them them constantly, here are a couple Cryptocurrency related Podcasts I listen to semi-regularly.
What Bitcoin Did - For Bitcoin this the pick of the lot.
Bankless - Very Eth centric but decent for a different opinion to WBD
Lex Fridman - Not Crypto Specific but Lex get's a lot of Crypto industry experts on
Unchained- Not listened but heard its a good allrounder
The Investor's Podcast Network - This one is a general all round investing podcast but has some great stuff on Bitcoin
Blogs:
Willy Woo - Chart Overload!
Unenumerated - This is a blog I have always meant to get around to reading but still haven't found the time, there is a huge amount here on the history of money.
Dan Held - Has some great practical Bitcoin advice.
YouTube:
Don't treat Youtube or Youtubers as an education sources, and these defiantly fall under the guise of edutainment, although in my opinion there is some good information to be gained from each of these channels. Just don't go relying on them as your primary source of financial advice (Not a financial advisor and all that)
Benjamin Cowen - The best of the lot IMO, I actually spend some of my spare time recreating some of his charts using Python.
Coin bureau - Mainly entertainment.
Invest Answers - Okay, shilled Luna a little though, so black mark for that.
Ray Dalio - Okay not Crypto but man there is some great educational content here.
Glassnode- Personally I am trying to learn a little more about OnChain Analysis and this is great channel for figuring that out.
Other Resources:
I've included a few twitter accounts here but if you are getting educated off twitter then there really isn't much hope for the world, however, there are a couple of people I didn't know where to include but I find hugely insightful, so I decided to link there twitter accounts. There are also other miscellaneous resources I have found that I have included here
Lyn Alden - When Lyn talks I listen! She has a free newsletter but I mainly just keep up with her appearance on podcast.
Will Clemnte - More charts, Will also has an excellent free newsletter.
Plan B - He's a little (a lottle) sus, but his technical content still has value IMO.
Jamson Lopp - Huge repository of Bitcoin knowledge.
TLDR:
A list of all the resources I have compiled over the past year to educate myself on this crazy space were in. Feel free to save this post and forget to come back to it.
Conclusion
So that's all I have so far, I posted this in the hope that others would find it useful, but I also selfishly would love if you added your suggestions in the comments so I have even more resources. Happy learnings!
