Somebody needs to ground me again. I am so bullish while reading this book. Give it a try. I thought that I already read a lot and knew how to explain the Ethereum ecosystem and blockchain in general. I was wrong. This book is awesome. Easy to understand, great read, all general topics covered with many references and links for a further deep dive in the topic.
I could convince monkeys to buy Ether after this read.

You can download the Etherium Wallet here where you can at least start taking a look at some dev tools. This was also posted on /r/ethereum yesterday and it mentions Truffle which seems like a pretty great resource. Learning JavaScript will be helpful. Oh, and I just remembered there's a humble bundle happening right now that includes a book on Solidity and Ethereum (although you can get just that book as a Kindle version for ten bucks on Amazon). I haven't personally started doing anything with Solidity though, so I can't vouch for how great these resources are. Just passing along the information that I've seen in the last couple days.

The Decentralized Retirement Plan: The Rise of New and Real Markets (and the author's site offering really interesting investment ideas)

About halfway into it. Nice introduction to crypto that leads into some fairly sophisticated investment schemes. Bonus points for a strong Austrian prospective of the value of crypto in an increasingly capital restricted world.

Read books, and paper trade(mock trading with nothing on the line). The first book I read was https://www.amazon.com/Trading-Living-Psychology-Tactics-Management/dp/0471592242

I also highly reccommend all of the Market Wizards books. Really good reads.
I studied about 12 books before I started trading. In the end I got wiped out during the American Airlines bankruptcy(lost so much so fast that I stopped trading regularly and started investing).

EDIT: but yes, in the long run, my advice is to simply not trade. Good traders are a very rare breed. And the best traders have huge teams and data analytics systems driving their decisions.

It's a year old, but is written very straight forward for someone like me, a non-programmer. Also it's fun to see how things are changing/have changed even since then

Just got the book "Ethereum: Blockchains, Digital Assets, Smart Contracts, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations" delivered. Hoping for a good read! https://www.amazon.com/Ethereum-Blockchains-Decentralized-Autonomous-Organizations/dp/1523930470/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496854273&sr=8-1&keywords=ethereum

I recently read this book:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06XQFYL2M/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1491480820&sr=8-1

It actually addresses both of your posts and describes, in great detail, what makes ETH so special in comparison with BTC.

There are TONS of additional resources for learning Solidity online, as well. It's an easy language to learn.

Ordered Introducing Ethereum and Solidity: Foundations of Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Programming for Beginners

I've got some CS background and an aptitude for programming. As a mechanical engineer (currently), I'm most excited to get involved in projects like Grid+

Great list. Making my way through a few of those.

I've also been reading this one:

Ethereum: Blockchains, Digital Assets, Smart Contracts, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations by Henning Diedrich

Great book. Walks you through everything. Written by IBM's Liason to Ethereum Core.

Ethereum: Blockchains, Digital Assets, Smart Contracts, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations https://www.amazon.com/dp/1523930470/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_uYFqCmTS1MtFi

This is a pretty big deal IMO, and very telling:

#1 Best Seller in Money & Monetary Policy on Amazon

Im in the middle of reading Ethereum: Blockchains, Digital Assets, Smart Contracts, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations I'm loving it so far, it's covering all the terminology, and breaking everything down in a fairly concise way for the layman.

To an extent but not really. He demonstrates some basic solidity programming, but his goal is to provide a thorough explanation of Ethereum, it's uses, and why it differs from other public chains that non-technical people can understand too.

If you want something more technical check this one out https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Ethereum-Building-Smart-Contracts/dp/1491971940/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1497024427&sr=8-4&keywords=Ethereum

Edit: I know it's not out yet, but it will be one of the better references out there.

https://www.amazon.com/Ethereum-Programming-Alex-Leverington/dp/1786463717/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1497024427&sr=8-7&keywords=Ethereum

This guy isn't half bad if you want one now.

Aaaaaaaaand we're back

Would be nice with some more trading talk here than this teenage drama. For example, does no one here read books about trading? On bitcoinmarkets people are more focused on the strategy and psychology, this feels like a crypto version of r/investing with feel good quotes about "buy the dip average 7%"

Currently I am reading this https://www.amazon.com/Market-Mind-Games-Psychology-Investing/dp/0071756221/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1549915685&sr=1-3 , very applicable to crypto

Don't listen to the most optimistic projections.

You could very well be like this guy or this guy.

Nope.

The blog is actually a group of financial analysts, led by Tim Neeks most of whom have made it pretty big investing in natural gas, cryptocurrency and fiat.

  You should try reading the articles on this site including the linked one... you might actually learn something.
  
  You might even wind up making more money than what you currently earn from the publicist who pays you to shill bitcoin...

LOL at no e-version of the book. Convincing!

Hodl on for dear life. People have money at stake and they all want yours. Welcome to the jungle.....and get yourself a Ledger Nano S before someone sticks a keylogger on your computer and steals all your coins from the comfort of their home.

A "just launched" seller is selling it for 39 USD on Amazon. I'm thinking to jump on one. Is it safe to buy a LNS from sellers other than the official distributors https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/ol/B01J66NF46/ref=mw_dp_olp?ie=UTF8&condition=all.

Having knowledge of object oriented programming helped me a bit going in.
I found a lot of similarities in logic of central-server game-engine network synchronization and smart-contract programming.
Such as an expected data object to be synchronized to clients(nodes) with authority from the server(blockchain consensus/validation/contract setup) . Users(address) can send requests(transactions) to the server to update things, and cause logic mechanisms to act.

A book I can recommend to see if you'll enjoy the aspiration of working in blockchain tech,
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1523930470/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The path I've seen people follow is -
Getting an address and using a private wallet.
Using and understanding how a hardware wallet works.
Then playgrounding contracts in a private chain or Remix(online compiler), until they can make little tools.

edit: had two book links, one was no longer available.

these are delicious

Only one I’m aware of is the pre-order for Andreas’ new book Mastering Ethereum - but that’s not out til early next year:

Mastering Ethereum: Building Smart Contracts and Dapps

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1491971940/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_B5bJzbCPSARX2

Amazon is offering the Ledger Nano S as a lightning deal for $69.99 if anyone is interested.

I can highly recommend Ethereum: Blockchains, Digital Assets, Smart Contracts, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations.

I also just received notice that Consensys released their first blockchain/Ethereum book about an hour ago which can be found here. I obviously haven't read this yet but plan to do so within the next few weeks.

Lol, I think Gavin Wood & Andreas kind of have that covered.

Yes it is https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Ethereum-Building-Smart-Contracts/dp/1491971940

interesting. This is the one that has been getting 1 stars over the past couple weeks https://www.amazon.com/Ledger-Nano-Cryptocurrency-hardware-wallet/product-reviews/B01J66NF46/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_hist_1?filterByStar=one_star&pageNumber=1

If you think you're invested there's a few experts dedicating their time and energy on future books about the cryptos bears love to hate https://www.amazon.com/dp/1260026671/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1490913646&sr=8-6&keywords=bitcoin+and+beyond

Found the link to the tshirt in case anyone wanted to purchase like me.

Looks like your questions and a lot more will be answered by reading the book Trading and Exchanges by Larry Harris. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Exchanges-Microstructure-Practitioners-Management-Association/dp/0195144708

https://www.amazon.com/Cryptoassets-Innovative-Investors-Bitcoin-Beyond/dp/1260026671

Fred Wilson recommended this one today in his VC blog. He's big into crypto.

Ledger Nano S available for $50 on Amazon:
