Bitcoin Information and Resources
The absolute best source of many useful references is Jameson Lopp's page:
Jameson Lopp’s Bitcoin Resources
A comprehensive guide to educational Bitcoin information and resources. Hundreds of links that help answer the question: What is Bitcoin?
What is Bitcoin? Bitcoin is a new form of money that is controlled by no one and is developed as an open collaborative project. On this page you'll find enough curated educational resources and information about it that you could spend months sifting through them all. Make sure you have a decent understanding of the system before you store a significant amount of value in it! The same aspects that make it so valuable also make it unforgiving to those who make mistakes.
