Do they teach only about Bitcoin or do they have a general course about crypto currency ?

Currently you can not only learn crypto through books, magazines, websites or courses, but you can also study cryptography at universities such as George Brown College Canada, University of East London, Sero Institute Australia etc.

Good books, in fact I knew 3/4 of them having read only one of them, i.e. the Bitcoin standard, there are some others to mention satoshi's book or the future of Money.

Personally i would like to get some tutorials and lessons on any thing on YouTube videos, those video based teachings are very best and we can learn faster and easily.

The problem is that you must trust well who is making the content and who has real knowledge, honestly, there are many Youtubers that I have seen and few who have extensive or real knowledge, sometimes a good book shortens your path a lot.

The ting i like about YouTube tutorials are they are based on visual learnings, they sow me how i can do things that i want to do step by step, of course books have good power to teach us that is why we are learning from books in the school. but the videos can compress one unit book and explain it with 5 minutes, when i was in collage if i don't have a time to read for exam i just watch videos and boom the whole book will be in my head with short minutes.
