We are excited about the ‘Bitcoin’ playlist of latest research we integrated into Caila! We are trying to get feedback on the track and user experience we have created — if you can help us with feedback, read on.

If you are new to ‘Bitcoin’ and ‘Cryptocurrencies’ — we can get you started. If you already purchased your first Bitcoin through Coinbase and want to know more — our collection of the latest knowledge on blockchain and cryptocurrency will get you up to speed with experts and evangelists.

You can get up to speed quickly or you can dive deep. We curated 100+ of the best articles, videos, books, podcasts, presentations, and online communities to get you from novice to expert. We researched leaders in the space including professors, investors, and technologists from MIT to Princeton University. Special thanks to Brian Forde for his amazing post!

For the novices, we have sequenced about 15 links to get up to speed fast. For those that want to go deep, we have sequenced 1 course, 2 newsletters, 5 books, 6 papers, 11 websites, 11 presentations, 18 articles, 18 online communities, and 50 videos into a path to cover the subject in detail. That said — the field is rapidly changing — and if there are things missing, share with us!

Lastly — investing in cryptocurrencies is risky, we do not condone or advocate for it. Proceed at your own risk. Whether or not you choose to invest — we recommend knowing the latest knowledge of the space; some of the greatest minds anticipate it will reshape the world.
