Top 3 places and materials to learn about blockchain and

Cryptocurrency

1. Coinbase Learn (https://www.coinbase.com/learn)

a. Benefit
Coinbase learn has 2 main parts, Crypto basics & Tips and tutorials

● Crypto basics
It's full of concepts, tutorials, and explanations all about
cryptocurrency and blockchain. For instance: What is a token
?, What is DeFi?, What is a blockchain?, Guide to DeFi tokens
and altcoins, etc.
● Tips and tutorials
This will help you get practical, step-by-step answers to all
things crypto. This section will provide step by step what a
newbie needs to do to complete each smallest process like
How to set up a crypto wallet, How to send crypto, How to
read candlestick charts, etc. And countless useful tips before
setting foot in the battle with the market.
b. Downside
The articles and video tutorials at Coinbase are not yet
organized step-by-step, requiring learners to find out for
themselves what is appropriate for their search
purposes.
2. Coursera (Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technologies) Offered By
Princeton University
(https://www.coursera.org/learn/cryptocurrency#about)

a. Benefit:
This free Coursera course introduces basic
cryptography concepts and then links them to the
basics of Bitcoin. Through videos, the course lecturer
explains how decentralization is implemented in
practice, how Bitcoin mining works, and how Bitcoins
are stored. A short explanation is then given to altcoins
and the future of this field.
b. Downside:
This is quite a tough course for a non-tech person to
keep up with 100% of its knowledge. According to my
personal experience, this course has a lot of knowledge
about math as well as programming techniques. This
course will be quite difficult for someone who is
completely new to Cryptocurrency and Blockchain to
catch up right away, so newbies only need to watch the
key videos of each week such as the principle of
operation of Bitcoin, BlockChain, introduction to
altcoins, etc.
3. Coin98 insights (https://coin98.net/)

a. Benefit: On this platform, newbies can freely roam around to


learn every feature and read continuously updated academic
articles from Coin98 researchers. There's a whole beginner's
section here, so don't be afraid to miss important information
for the early stages.
Because it is written in Vietnamese, the terms in the industry
will be transformed into the brain directly and quickly.

b. Downsides: There are still some tutorial articles that are not
specific and deep into the knowledge.
C98 has a course to teach you about Crypto from A - Z for you
but the course prices are quite high.
I'm pretty sure it's going to be a decent course to start people
off on the path to learning about blockchain so if you don't
want to have to go through the steps on your own then you
can sign up to get a specific step-by-step path to understand
and invest properly in the cryptocurrency market.
