11 Best Resources to Learn about Crypto, DeFi, Metaverse, and more!

When it comes to learning about anything, it’s important to go to the best sources. This is especially true if you want to satisfy your curiosity about crypto space.

Blockchain, DeFi, NFTs and everything else in this space can seem weird and wacky at first, but the right guides, videos, and articles can help you go from zero to crypto hero! 

So, we’ve put together a growing list of what we think are some of the world’s best sources of information on everything to do with crypto.

New to crypto? Head over to our hub to get started!

Market news and other updates

It’s one thing to talk about the underlying technology of cryptocurrencies, and another thing to talk about how they perform in the market.

While you will hear about common crypto market jargons like HODL, bull runs, buying the dip, memecoins, and more, don’t worry about opening the dictionary — you’ll get used to them.

Bankless

Bankless doesn’t try to become the next Bloomberg for cryptocurrencies. They cover the latest buzz around the crypto world, and explain difficult concepts in easy-to-digest video podcast-style content. They cover everything from economic news to NFTs, and interview prominent figures in the subject.

Altcoin Daily

For those of you who prefer to watch bite size daily updates, Altcoin Daily presents 10 – 20 minute videos covering world events that can potentially move the market.

If you’re not a trader, but a long-term hodler, then you should understand that the news can have a strong impact on your crypto holdings. 

CoinBureau

It can be tricky to choose your sources, as some “finance influencers” you’ll find are actually trying to sell you something — either a course or getting you to buy a hyped up coin.

Don’t be fooled by CoinBureau’s clickbaity facial expressions made by Guy the presenter. His calm and precise explanations of popular altcoins and concepts may help you become a more informed investor.

Cryptocurrency NZ Discord Community

Looking for a community of Kiwis learning and growing together in the crypto space? One of our old writers at Easy Crypto recommended a Discord community where you can ask and answer questions related to DeFi, NFTs, farming, mining, NZ tax laws, airdrops, day trading and more.

Don’t have the Discord app? Alternatively you can join the Cryptocurrency NZ Facebook group!

If you are in New Zealand, you can also have a look at a list of forums and other social media accounts to follow.

Trading and Investing

There are plenty of creators who publish content around short-term or long-term trading. If you’re wondering about how traders make trading decisions and the processes that lead up to them, you can watch them live on these channels.

Data Dash

Data Dash is a good example of taking trading cases and explaining to audiences in a calm and concise manner.

Using data-driven approaches to make trades, you can learn so much from this channel on the crucial signals to look out for. It is truly a “trader’s digest” that should be consumed regularly by those looking for fast profits off of the crypto market.

Crypto Banter

Crypto Banter may look like just another “livestream crypto talk show”, but there are plenty of knowledge nuggets we can take out from each of the 30-minute to 1-hour long live streams that lean heavily on technical analysis.

With no ads, you can enjoy the live or recorded streams in the background as you do your other activities.

CryptosRUs

Most people vlog about their holidays. George the host talks about the daily market movements in crypto and takes us on short investigative journeys on what may cause the market to behave in such ways.

With short, bite size streams, you don’t have to spend so much time to be aware of the market situation. The host also covers the ins and outs of various altcoins.

DeFi and the Metaverse

The Defiant

The Defiant is probably one of the best (if not the best) source of content that pertains everything about Decentralised Finance.

You can start by visiting their website to read in-depth news and 101s about DeFi, from liquidity pools and DAOs to play-to-earn games and lending protocols. They also have a YouTube channel, if you prefer watching videos.

Analytical Deep Dives

Pomp

Anthony “Pomp” Pompliano is a unique personality in the crypto space. For people interested in the connections between the business world and Bitcoin, tuning in to Pomp’s podcast is a great way to get smart about the crypto space whilst on commute or casual sauntering.

Bitcoin Magazine

If you’re looking for high quality written pieces, Bitcoin Magazine should be on the top half of your reading list.

Bitcoin Magazine isn’t filled with market rundowns that are only relevant today and forgotten tomorrow. Pieces that even Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin himself had written will stay relevant for a long time. (As an added fact, Buterin was an active contributor of Bitcoin Magazine before he worked on Ethereum).

Easy Crypto Hub

The writers of Easy Crypto Hub take difficult concepts and boil them down to digestible written pieces. We stand on the shoulders of the giants who offer some of the best resources about the crypto sphere, and we add our own unique findings as well.

So, if you’re ever in doubt, you can visit Easy Crypto Hub or any of the above sources to satisfy your burning curiosities or to get rid of confusions in a pleasant way.

As prefaced above, we’ll be updating this growing list whenever we come across new resources that may be useful for you cryptonauts out there!
