I've had some laptop troubles since so there's only the one video up so far, but I'm planning to make many more.
Let me know in the comments if you've any suggestions. Thanks https://youtu.be/BkF9v5AYCac
I recommend the Princeton course on Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technologies, available free on Coursera: https://www.coursera.org/learn/cryptocurrency I took this last year and found it very informative
The Princeton bitcoin textbook is also excellent (see https://citp.princeton.edu/the-princeton-bitcoin-textbook-is... - it is easy to find PDFs online)
There's a lot more advanced stuff out there (as you can see in the other comments) that I would touch on once I have a rough overview.
A lot changes in the crypto world month-to-month, and so forums like Reddit and Twitter are usually the best to stay up to date. Unfortunately, there's a lot of useless chunder on these forums you'll have to learn to filter to get access to the quality stuff.
Personally, I avoid the fanboys/girls and like following people who are more critical of the space. Because of this, I've discontinued following r/Bitcoin on Reddit (I'm sure there're smart people out there—there was just too much I didn't agree with and decided to leave).
Some of my favorites today are:
- patio11 on Twitter
- prestonbyrne.com website and Twitter
- buttcoin on Twitter
- Tim Swanson (ofnumbers on Twitter)
- Bitfinexd on Twitter
- http://thereformedbroker.com/2017/11/27/it-just-got-real/
I know this is more of a crypto pessimist crowd but I tend to agree with their views way more than the rest of the herd. I think they're a lot more rational and highlight some great things to look out for.
I would encourage you to fish for some of the rational optimists as well. If anyone has recommendations, I'm all ears!
If you're starting from scratch, I'd recommend this Khan academy course (it's short and sweet): https://www.khanacademy.org/economics-finance-domain/core-fi...

I would recommend Naval Ravikant (@naval) and Nick Svabo (@NickSvabo4) as the smartest people I know who are heavily engaged in cryptocurrency professionally.
Realistically, almost all of the real-time discussion happens on Reddit, Twitter, and in various private chat groups (Telegram, etc). But you have to be savvy about sorting the shilling and nonsense from actual useful information.
If you are interested in looking at what reddit is saying about any coins you are researching you can try http://bitreddit.com . Disclosure: this is a side project I am working on to learn react.
