100 Tools and References to Begin with Blockchain and Cryptoassets (2021)
Here is the result of 2160 hours of research.
Yes, it took me 6 months and 2160 hours of research.
The crypto-currency market is exploding, Bitcoin has gone mainstream, with over 221 million people investing in it by June 2021, according to the latest report from Crypto.com.
When you start your research, you’ll realize that no blog has done a census of all the tools and resources you’ll need to start the experiment.
This article will make your life easier.
Bitcoin, launched in 2009 by one Satoshi Nakamoto, has since taken off. When I started my research, its value was $30,000 per bitcoin.
As of this writing, it is at $48,000 with a peak in April 2021 of $65,000 per bitcoin.
What do these figures mean in concrete terms?
If you invested $1000 in December 2020, you will end up with $1600 now (August 2021), and $2166.67 at the time of the April 2021 peak.
A good investment. A very good investment.
But, to start investing, you have to understand what you are investing in. This is the basis.
The reason why many people have trouble understanding bitcoin is that you first have to understand what the blockchain is.
There’s a learning curve that you have to overcome to get the most out of your investments.
In the rest of this article, I’ll give you a summary of different resources to get you started.
