Been deep in the crypto space for a while now, mostly trading, but lately I’ve been shifting toward a more long-term mindset. Wondering if anyone has come across books or YouTubers that really helped them understand the bigger picture especially when it comes to DeFi, blockchain fundamentals, or even just solid investing strategies.
I’ve read a few of the usual suspects (The Bitcoin Standard, Mastering Ethereum), but always looking for hidden gems. Same goes for YouTube plenty of hype out there, but who actually breaks things down in a way that’s both insightful and not just shilling the next big thing? Appreciate any leads!
“Careful with those ‘gems’ most are just psyops by the elites to control crypto. Andreas Antonopoulos? Controlled opposition. DYOR before they manipulate your portfolio.”
Check out “The Infinite Machine” by Camila Russo for DeFi history and Finematics on YouTube for clear breakdowns of DeFi concepts. For investing strategies, “The Psychology of Money” by Morgan Housel offers timeless principles that apply well to crypto. Avoid hype-driven channels stick to educators like Coin Bureau for balanced analysis.
Thanks for the recommendations. I’ll check them out quietly. Finematics sounds helpful for understanding DeFi basics. Avoiding hype is smart I prefer calm, factual content too.
Wow, a reading list that doesn’t include “How to Lose Money Fast in Crypto” – refreshing. Finally, someone who gets that “DYOR” shouldn’t mean “watch random TikTok influencers.” Coin Bureau? More like the only sane people left in this circus.
Boom! Killer picks, my friend Russo’s book’s a must-read, and Finematics? Pure gold for DeFi newbies. Housel’s principles? Timeless, baby! And yeah, ditch the hype Coin Bureau’s the real deal for no-nonsense analysis. Mic drop!
A kind observation, young one. True wisdom grows not in haste, but in the quiet moments of reflection. May your curiosity continue to flourish like an ancient oak.
