Ask HN: Good crypto resources (books, blogs, docs)

Hey everyone.

I've trying to get more into the world of crypto these past few months. Both in terms of understanding the technology and also the future of decentralized applications that build on top of blockchain. Unfortunately, I've noticed that there's a lot of content out there from the equivalent of SEO blogs that aren't very insightful nor technical. Would love to hear your recommendations.

Thanks.

Andreas A's bitcoin and ethereum books are quite good for a technical understanding. You can buy them or read for free at https://github.com/aantonop

for bitcoin, there is plenty here: https://www.lopp.net/bitcoin-information.html once you're up to speed on bitcoin, you're ready for smart contracts. i'd suggest looking up Sergey Nazarov on youtube and watching his interviews in order from oldest to newest. that will give you the basics to go from there
