Crypto guide for rookies PART-1

Hello everyone. I've been a silent member of the Steemit community for some time and I can summarize the reason in one line below.

I recall my professor sharing his thoughts about research papers a decade or more ago when I was doing bench research with him.

There's enough junk out there....try not to add to it.

I've come to realize that I am not much of a writer. I try not to say much unless I have something meaningful to add. However, over the past few months I have compiled lists that I think are worth sharing for crypto newbies like me. So I hope someone benefits from this.
