Hey everyone,

    I’m new to Bitcoin and crypto, and I’m trying to learn everything from scratch just because I find it fascinating. I don’t have much of a technical background, so I’m really starting from zero. When I say I want to learn Bitcoin, I mean the technical side as well, not just what it is or why people invest in it. I want to understand things like:

    -How Bitcoin transactions work behind the scenes
    -Mining and how blocks are created
    -Nodes and the network
    -Bitcoin layers (Lightning, etc.)
    -Protocols and the technical architecture
    -How everything fits together under the hood

    My goal is to eventually reach a point where I can have technical discussions about Bitcoin with people who know the subject well. At the moment, I’m following Learn Me A Bitcoin, and I really like it, but I’m still at the very beginning.
    What resources would you recommend? YouTube channels, websites, podcasts anything that helped you build a solid technical understanding of Bitcoin would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

      To learn Bitcoin from scratch but with a technical focus, it is best to combine Mastering Bitcoin as a solid basis of the protocol, Learn Me A Bitcoin to visualise concepts such as UTXOs, mining and nodes, and advanced resources such as Bitcoin Optech and Bitcoin Dev Wiki to understand how the protocol evolves, BIPs and internal architecture; if you want to delve deeper into Lightning, the Chaincode Labs workshops and the Bitcoin Explained podcast are the best to connect all the pieces of the stack.
