Beginner confused about how to start learning Web3/Crypto

I’m a student and I’ve been on Twitter for about a year. During this time I’ve seen many people creating content about crypto and Web3, and it made me really curious about this space.
I want to learn it seriously, but whenever I start learning something about crypto or Web3, I get distracted or feel overwhelmed. Sometimes it feels like nothing is going into my head and I don’t know where to start or what to focus on first.
I also wonder how deep this field actually is and how much someone needs to learn before they can understand it properly.
Another question I have is:
Is learning from ChatGPT explanations, articles, and Twitter threads enough for a beginner, or should I follow some structured courses or resources?
And realistically, how much time does it take for a beginner to understand the basics of Web3/crypto? Is it something that takes months or years?
I’m really interested in learning and hopefully earning in this field in the future, but right now I feel a bit lost about where to begin.
Any advice or learning path would really help.
