Hide your girl, BTC expert here.

My favorite sources for financial/bitcoin information

Here’s a collection of links and short descriptions on financial market info. These are websites, videos, books, blogs, and teachers who have helped me understand Bitcoin, finances or markets.

*Feel free to post any informative sources you feel belong on the list. I’ll delete HYIP, scams and anything that hides behind paywalls or promises to double my ether.

List of Bitcoin/Crypto books

We start with my bible, written by a man who shares a geographical heritage with many messiahs.

* The Bitcoin Standard

Saifedean Ammous wrote the Bitcoin Standard and really delivered on the title. The book cuts through to the core of bitcoin’s value, supply and dis-inflation. It’s where every new crypto investor should start.

* The Internet of Money

I’ll be honest, I haven’t read Andreas Antonopolous yet, though I plan on it. He’s knowledgeable on the technical details behind Bitcoin, but maintains the ability to keep the big picture in focus. The Internet of Money is where I plan on starting. His lengthy Youtube lectures are enough to recognize, he’s the greatest teacher Bitcoin could ask for.

*Digital Gold

This one by Nathaniel Popper, focuses on the stories around the early days of Bitcoin. Chapters involve characters like Satoshi Nakamoto, Winklevoss twins, & alleged, silk road operator Ross Ulbricht. More a primer for where bitcoin has been and used for.

List of BTC related Youtube channels

These are mostly financial or market related and sometimes charge for early or privileged info.

Real Vision Youtube & blog

One of the best aggregators of financial market minds. They bring together individuals with many years of traditional market experience. I enjoy the talks on the FED, interest rates and inter-bank lending, the most.

Raoul Pal is my favorite market related talking head, his focus on demographics is unique among his peers. It may seem simple to focus on, but demographics and supply are real drivers of economies or assets. They’re numbers that are easy to quantify and hard to fake. Some focus on earnings or projections, I like workforce age and inflation rate.

Despite staffing from traditional debt, metal, and equity markets, Real Vision has an obvious love for BTC. They feature the mama chain in a lot of their 30–60 minute interviews. Their new material requires a membership on RealVision.com to watch, $180 a year for basic.

I wait for their videos to get to youtube, generally 2 months later. When something foreshadowed becomes news, they love to take the opportunity to post their videos on the development. Very smart people without much bias or maybe, clearer and upfront biases.

The Chart Guys

My favorite technical analysis teachers on youtube. They post video TA classes and intro to crypto for beginners. Their library is massive and they post on crypto every week. Dan is the voice behind most crypto trades and he focuses on the charts. Not much in opinion on crypto, commodities, weed stocks but they hit the numbers hard.

Some trading teachers can get, too niche or not result focused enough, for me. The chart guys never disappoint in that area. Big believers in the golden cross, they plastered youtube with it in 2017, before the market latched on to it’s present extent.

Keiser Report

Max and Stacy are a husband/wife, financial, talkshow duo. I watch the near daily show on RT’s youtube channel. Russian Television has a more liberal view on markets and their shows do a great job of pointing out money market flaws. Keep the stations liberal perspective in mind but Max can play more libertarian than liberal.

Max was part of a company that sold software used by american stock traders and exchanges. He can be loud and all over the place but might be Bitcoin’s biggest supporter. Stacy reminds me of myself, in the way that it seems like she just ripped a bong off camera. Most would need a toke to keep up with Max so I wouldn’t blame her if she did. The left’s answer to fox news with a financial focus.

CNBC CryptoTrader

Ran Nue Ner has the best traditional market like, show on Crypto. Generally great guests and interesting takes but a little like junk food for most of us. Ran has a habit of getting wrapped up in the moment, like we all do. I look at his opinion as a good barometer for market sentiment. He can be trendy in his picks is what I’ve noticed. It’s been off air for 3 months though.

Coinmastery

I think he’s on hiatus or only posts during up trends but I really enjoy his take as a fellow amateur investor. He’s not afraid to say I don’t know and throw his hands up. Carter has a good attitude and tries not to get too caught up in the meme coins of the moment. I would watch a weekly show with him talking crypto, too bad a tv station won’t get on that until it’s too late.

Anthony Pompliano

Mr Pompliano is a co-founder of a hedge-it-all fund, based around Bitcoin and it’s clones. Morgan Creek Digital .He writes a daily letter for institutional investors, Off the Chain and is one of the most interesting crypto twitter follows.

Financial/Crypto teaching sites & blogs

BabyPips

Best teacher if you’re new to trading and want to learn anything TA related. From the basics to ichimoku clouds, they cover it all. Babypips is a free, online school for traders, it really is amazing. You progress through the grades k-college, learning all the styles of trading and what each indicator tells us.

It seems like most of us trading in crypto got our start here because it’s free, easy to understand and a huge knowledge base.

Plan B

A blog and a twitter personality, and like Bitcoin Standard author Saifedean Ammous spreader of stock 2 flow gospel. The guy gets it, Bitcoin is a backup to the banks. He tweets about the effects negative yield bonds and massive debt has on retirees.

He’s best known for his forecasts on bitcoins future price, based on rational mathematical models. I think he and others are waking the masses up to what really drives value in markets, scarcity. In a world of diluted shares S2F is silly because you never know what the next CEO will dump on the market. Bitcoin exercise control over supply and inflation. We’ve never seen something like it, bankers would never turn off the money printer.

Nakamoto institute

Most in crypto are disciples of Mr mystery, Satoshi. He started Bitcoin, which basically started crypto for most of us. Well if Satoshi is a techie messiah, that would make Nick Szabo god. BitGold was one of the few precursors to BTC to even exist in a mind. Szabo, Wei Dai, and Hal Finney seem to have been the 3 recognized as proving the skills needed to design BTC.

The Nakamoto institute is a repository of Satoshi’s and related writings. Nick Szabo made up half the blog posts at one time and likely does to this day. Schelling Out, his short history of money, really helped me understand markets. The fact that people still ask themselves who invented Bitcoin means they can’t do research or add 2+2.

This list is an ongoing process and will be continually updated throughout 2020. I want to give credit to the people who have helped me stack sats. Good luck getting those bitcoin gains.
