Happy New Year! Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays. To start the year, we (with the help of the community) put together a list of a few of our favorite resources. Whether you are just getting started or have been doing this for a long time, these are awesome tools to enhance your investing and/or blockchain knowledge. And this list will be posted to our site and continuously updated. If you have anything to add, feel free to post and/or reach out!

“Knowledge itself is power” — Sir Francis Bacon

Translation: As we move into a new year, what better time to learn about technologies that will transform the world over the next decade? New technologies can certainly get overhyped in the short run, but understanding what they are capable of and where we are headed is critical – and it allows you to take advantage of dislocations/opportunities as we inevitably enter the ‘trough of disillusionment.’ Try something new. Add learning about blockchain to your resolutions list. Never stop learning.
