Some curated reference points for a friend
Some of this is a repeat of EC2 https://steemit.com/expertcuration/@expertcuration/ec2-blockchain-reference-points
I have updated it and added some additional content
Before we start
Think about Blockchain as a technology platform, the internet on steroids
Amazon , Ebay Facebook , Lastmiute.com they all deliver very different services and utilise internet technology and have used it in very different ways
Don't get sucked into the Crypto "currency" terminology it's so much more than that.
READ THIS
Wish I had found this one much earlier would have saved me loads of time getting my head around how blockchain works, does a really good job of explaining it and has an overview of the story so far.
If you have Netflix - Banking on Bitcoin
Watch / Listen to these
If you are familiar with the Daily show Dan Poulk reminds me of John Stewart - knows his stuff and he is really funny to boot
This one from Simon Dixon for Bitcoin, seen him speak at an event a Blockchain vetrean
Latest prices , Market Cap ,price graphs links to websites and more really useful site to lookup and start researching
I am now however using this site, it has an associated App which has a one off fee to get some of the enhanced features
Good for reference however following the discovery of the Let's Talk Bitcoin podcast (see below) I dont use it as much however had to mention it as it led me to my first ICO investment
PodCasts
The Let's Talk Bitcoin Network
Love this as it curates several podcasts into one stream which include:
Epicentre
Bitcoins & Gravy
Lets Talk Bitcoin
The Crypto Show
The ICO Alert Podcast
Mentioned the sight above its a good insight into what is coming to market and if you did want to invest a good research tool to help make better informed decisions
