Learn blockchain, bitcoin, and web 3.0

What is the hypest thing in software development nowadays?
I bet it is Web 3.0 that includes topics like blockchain, dApps*, smart contracts, and other buzzwords.

I've connected my diploma thesis with blockchain and its security features because I've been wanting to figure out how this works for ages.

I've dug a bit deeper than blockchain and can't stop satisfying my curiosity. I believe these technologies are still in their early stages of a long-term trend, so you and I are not missing the boat yet.

If you've always wanted to understand blockchain and how/why bitcoin works under the hood, here are only two videos I want you to watch (1,2). These are visual demos that explain basic concepts like hashing, blocks, transactions, coinbase, distributed ledger, digital signature, and how it all works in tandem.

Here are some other resources that I found valuable:
1. MIT course on blockchain and money (en, ru). Learn fundmentals with Gary Gensler - an American government official and former investment banker. Btw, I've skipped the first two lectures about the history of money just because they're boring.
2. Binance academy - "your one-stop guide to all things crypto." If you like reading articles more than watching YouTube.
3. Polygon** academy for developers. It seems to be a fast start to developing decentralized apps.
4. How to DeFi beginner/advanced and How to NFT. I've not got around to these yet but heard only positive feedback.

If you have something to add to the list, write it in the comments. I'm still quite a dummy in the theme, and will appreciate every suggestion.

*Decentralized apps
**A scaling solution for the Ethereum blockchain
