Hey guys,
Can you share the best resources you know on blockchain, cryptocurrencies, or anything related to the field. It doesn't matter if it costs money or not. Also, what are the best people you follow on Twitter for the space?
I just need as many resources as possible to do research for a project I am working on.
Thanks in advance!
Mining Pool Distribution https://btc.com/stats/pool?pool_mode=day - (is blockchain really decentralised if 3 of the top mining pools control +50% of the hash power?)

Listening to bitcoin may be the the greatest thing on the planet. Lol =) It's awesome!!! Ty for reminding me to have fun while grinding research!
I'm sure it's already been said but one of the standards is etherscan.io block explorer. I love that site, apologies in advance if it's been said!

What Bitcoin Did
The Breakdown
And for BTC vol metrics
https://analytics.skew.com/dashboard/bitcoin-options
limited free 1m BTC open interest
...and options volume
But BTC 1m implied vol you have to pay for...
That is until last week when Bitvol index came out for free (ETH as well)

Global Legal Insights
This is £350 for their print/PDF access but theres a whole list of series and contributors, and they each have like their first chapter available for free to read:

And EY which I discovered via Japan blockchain conference- you can set up/access their blockchain product suite for free (until it’s not)

Willy Woo! @woonomic on Twitter
www.messari.io has become my first stop when looking into particular protocols or for general crypto news and reports. They also have a good charting platform.
Alex Saunders YouTube channel: nugget’s news and his Paid service collectiveshift.com.au Which has loads of content including a beginners course/ research reports/ analysis
@Oliver Anderson stole my thunder with MIT Open classes share LOL
https://txstreet.com/ I like that website It's a cool visualization tool for seeing how the blocks are filling for Bitcoin and ethereum
I'd Google or youtube Charles Hoskinson and Vitalik Buterin they're both brilliantly smart
Coinbase has most of the white papers on there site
https://twitter.com/i/lists/1364315503548895239?s=09
That's a list of crypto followers on twitter my buddy sent me
Coin bureau on YouTube I like his channel because he explains things in a way I can understand it on the first go round
@Bradley Snyder I will venmo you [1 thunder]
This is a great idea. Looking forward to resource references.

Stock to flow - haven’t totally vetted this.

One thing I’ve found in my research is that a lot of folks are putting out incorrect numbers and number that have no time context, so I would encourage you to vet everything you read - just my experience.
I've got a number of papers as well. That I've downloaded but don't have references.
What are you looking for specifically?
I am trying to do a lot more research in order to explain/write up some investment summaries for assets. And then build a diversified portfolio that has exposure to a broad range of blockchain assets that are able to be traded or purchases by anyone.
but I’m trying to understand the structure of blockchain and how they are going to change things.
maybe we could talk more. Would love to see some of those papers

I watched SEC chairman Gary Gensler's MIT blockchain course on Youtube. Its a good overview of the technology and a good peek inside the mind of the guy who's regulating it. Pro tip, watch it at 1.25x speed.
Sovereign individual, Social Singularity, any primers on Cryptography and "cyber crime", I've found a lot of newer books in the last category have a lot of repeating info but always interesting from a different view. The Fifth Domain is proving interesting. In all truth, I like to start searching based on some basic keywords used as if typed by a human asking another human, and see what auto populates and mess with that. I feel that complexity theory is the best approach to what's happening now, and I embrace that theory =) qt of course, get a litecoin and bitcoin core wallet (doge too if u wanna see how they work together), can be watch only. I loved having my geth node but had to pull it, parity is proving difficult.. but I learned a ton just watching the chain. Etherscan.io for block explorers. I hope some of this helps or can prove useful somehow! =) ☯️
