For an introduction to blockchains and why they’re exciting, read this three part articles series by my friend Ashley Lannquist.
Alternatively, if you’re more of an audio-visual learner, check out this presentation by my friend Max Fang.
I suggest the UC Berkeley Blockchain Fundamentals Decal course that I co-designed.
All the materials are online here: Blockchain Fundamental Decal

For the moment, I would suggest focusing on Ethereum. I’m not convinced that their paradigm is optimal, however, for now until we release more material from Cosmos Academy on how to develop using Tendermint / Cosmos, Ethereum is the best starting point to hit the ground running.
I highly suggest using the following handbook I created during my time at ConsenSys
Alternatively, if you prefer a more guided course, two of my friends, Ali Mousa and Collin Chin from Blockchain at Berkeley, created this course (note it has a cost of $150):
I don’t know. This article does a decent job of at least laying out some of the theories.
Probably. But all money is a bubble!
Read this.
I don’t give investment advice. To be honest, you probably don’t want my advice anyways, I don’t know much about trading and stuff. Feel free to ask me what I think of the technicals of a protocol though!
My friend Jon Allen, co-head of Blockchain at Berkeley, has published two courses on Cryptocurrency Trading. I suggest checking them out.
Only one, RChain. And I consider it mostly a donation to fund Greg Meredith’s work :)
Tbh, mostly Twitter and word of mouth.
Here’s a decent starter pack list of interesting people to follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MaxFangX/lists/blockchain-starter-pack
I also really enjoy listening to the Epicenter Podcast.
And I need to give a shoutout to Blockchain at Berkeley for their awesome blog.
Check out the blog podcast I created with my friend Nate Rush: Conspiratus

Check out this interview I did recently
I’m currently a research scientist on a project called Tendermint / Cosmos. I focus particularly on Proof of Stake economics and Byzantine Fault Tolerant systems. Want to learn more about Tendermint and Cosmos, check out this video!
I am also currently an advisor for an organization I co-founded called Blockchain at Berkeley (I previously was the Head of Education and then R&D.
I’ve also previously worked at ConsenSys on the Alethio project and then on ConsenSys Academy.

60% chance it was Nick Szabo.
30% chance it was Hal Finney.
10% chance it was someone else.
Drop me an email at sunnya97@protonmail.ch or just message me however you normally do if you know me.
I accept Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, and Ethereum Classic. And if you’re super lame, plain old Venmo works too ;)
