How do I get into crypto?

From Bitcoin to Eth to Alts, and then back

I’ve been increasingly asked by friends how to “get into crypto”. I recommend reading deeply to understand the features of and problems with Bitcoin and Ethereum. Without that understanding those, it’s easy to be misled.

Figuring out Bitcoin:

1. Breakdown of the Bitcoin Paper. https://crypto.preethikasireddy.com/tag/bitcoin/

2. Peter Thiel’s 2022 talk at Bitcoin Miami.

3. Vitalik Buterin on Bitcoin Maximalism. https://vitalik.ca/general/2022/04/01/maximalist.html

Figuring out Ethereum and Decentralisation:

1. Balaji on Tim Feriss. Long podcast. 

2. NFTs (contrarian viewpoint). Moxie. https://moxie.org/2022/01/07/web3-first-impressions.html

3. Learning by doing on DeFi - I have a short mini-course on my crypto website: https://pinotio.com/defi-mini-course-part-1-wallet-setup-for-defi/
