Sup homies - compiling a list of resources so everyone can get smarter and wrap our heads around Web3. Lezzzzz go.
Note: This is a living breathing list, it is unstructured, and it is going to change. I dump a lot of stuff in the ARCHIVE section bc I’ve found it interesting/useful but don’t know where to put it yet in an organized fashion
If you’re JUST getting into Crypto
We all gotta start somewhere, here’s what’s been helpful for me
For People Who Learn By Reading
- Bitcoin Whitepaper (you don’t need to understand it 100% off the back, but it will give you a great foundation of the initial technological innovation as well as you give you the best reference point to come back to as you spend more time in the space)
- Ethereum Whitepaper (same - but it builds of the Bitcoin foundation)
- Jay Drain’s Web3 Starter Pack (super, super, super helpful and approachable)
- Katie Chiou’s Web3 Primer (similarlly super helpful)
For People Who Learn By Watching
For people who learn by watching stuff (don’t sleep/hate on youtube peeps)
