I do not know if this topic has been shared here before but it is something that has given me serious concern. Eventhough I have been registered here a long time ago, I still find it difficult learning and understanding bitcoin technical aspect, the blockchain and development. I know this is a shame to admit but that is what am faced with. I once tried to read the white paper but could not make much meaning out of it. Is this just only me as someone who has zero knowledge of science or there are also people who are in science but still find learning bitcoin confusing and challenging? Is there a way out of this? Please am not asking for books to read. I need real life experiences of those who passed through this and overcame it.
It's never easy to learn bitcoin actually. Even if you keep reading the whole time, that won't be a guarantee that you'll know bitcoin well. That is why we have to gain not only knowledge but definitely more on skills as we can be more confident if we have a lot of experiences that will teach us valuable lessons from the past mistakes we did. But i believe if you are really eager to learn, reading is a good start and by that time you will gain a lot of ideas that will be more possible if you also supplement it with youtube demos and videos that are readily available on the internet. Always create the first steps and you'll eventually discover that you are learning already every now and then.
