I am not a fan of recommending Michael Saylor to teach beginners about cryptocurrencies. He is an investor and his technical knowledge is limited, and the opinions he expresses may lead to financial losses if you do not have good knowledge, so all his interviews and recommendations are for people who have experience in the field and are not beginners.
- Andreas M. Antonopoulos's videos are ideal for beginners in addition to reading the book Mastering Bitcoin.
- Jameson Lopp has compiled a list of the most important sources and you can find them here ---> https://www.lopp.net/bitcoin-information.html
- Animated videos ----> [ Invalid YouTube link ]
- Basics of the Lightning Network ---> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4940536.msg44524521#msg44524521

the bitcoin courses at saylor.org are not necessarily narrated by Michael himself. the courses are not anything like his interviews where he is expected to give the investor and FIAT v bitcoin analogies and ideas which we have become so used to seeing.
look at the introduction for the Bitcoin for Everybody course, its clear that it caters for the beginner and starts with the basics.
This course will take you through the basics of Bitcoin for beginners: Bitcoin economics, investment, philosophy, and history, as well as its technical and practical components. Once you have completed this course, you will have a basic level of Bitcoin knowledge and be able to start interacting with Bitcoin by buying, receiving, storing, and spending it.
Sections to the course are:
Bitcoin Economics
Bitcoin Investment
Bitcoin History and Philosophy
Bitcoin Technology
Bitcoin Practice

This seems good. Frankly, I did not read the contents of the site, but I bookmarketed it and will read it later. I attended some events that Michael was at and I did not like his way of introducing Bitcoin, so I hoped that saylor.org topics would be a little away from his ideas.
Thank you.

ah, not a problem!
i would say there is a love/hate relationship with Michael Saylor, you either love him or hate him. he uses alot of analogies to describe bitcoin and its mechanisms and applications.
personally i have a love/hate opinion of him
i love how he has been able to communicate what bitcoin can offer
but
i hate what he represents for our space buy attracting big institutional investors

I do not know very much about all this courses that been shared here by the op, but I in particular have always turned to udemy for any course at all, whether crypto related or not.
Though the course on udemy aren't free, and there are actually ones that are or may appear pretty expensive for some people, but the fact is that there are still cheap ones, and they are always worth their prices - this is based on the once I've brought and studied though.
And as for Micheal saylor's work, or crypto educational materials, I've never gone through or studied any of his materials, though I am very familiar with his name, so, I honestly can not judge him for which ever way he teaches, I possibly do believe he does teach the best way his talent leads him to.

I have registered in quite a few but always too lazy to follow up.Admire y'all perseverance and determination👍.
I usually prefer learning things at random like i see a post on segwit, loved the discussion so i chose to read it up at the point i come across others and read any i find that sounds familiar.
I know this method is unorganized but it prevents my brain from experiencing info dump,like a blender with different fruits everything would be mixuped in my head.
If am to recommend would be biased towards blockchains development. I so much love the concept behind blockchain.
You can check out Coursera though
I registered but haven't logged in for a long time. :'(

Gaining Knowledge in Cryptocurrency is an online resource of extensive reading interest for people interested in cryptocurrency. Traveling with a cryptocurrency veteran to get you started, you dive deep into crypto topics to understand the fundamentals and gain the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the dynamic field of digital currencies.
And try to understand the secrets of blockchain of cryptocurrency. You will have to understand the knowledge of blockchain technology and cryptographic principles. To keep your currency safe, take knowledge of wallet so that there can be cyber security in crypto sector and do farming and mining of your produce.

The recommendations are quite alright but the ability to assimilate it matters. It's not all about just reading the materials but are they really ready to read and learn from the materials.
Sometimes I recommend YouTube videos because I believe seeing the videos would best explain and illustrate to the listener understanding of the course properly.

Youtube videos can be helpful but I would like to learn through books or online documents like blog posts or digital files like pdf.
With those documents on paper or on digital file, you can highlight, bookmark and find those pinned points again more easily. With Youtube videos, I am sorry but you will lose your direction in the video if you did not watch it after 1 month or longer. It's super hard to find information you need from a video.
Those videos can be supporting resources for your learning but not your main resources.

Michael Saylor is a big investor in the Bitcoin space, but as far as I know, most people don't usually agree with every of his teachings regarding Bitcoin; instead, there are other articles recommended for Bitcoin beginners. The reason is not because Saylor is not right about most of what he says, but because the truth is that only most people who have been in the Bitcoin space for a long time would know how to follow up on his ideas.

The best way to learn crypto is self learning, most of the things you read are mostly practicals and no way you can understand their full potential unless you do it yourself and I think some of the recommendation listed by OP are just educational perspective of crypto which some trends has change over the years. I didn't see any of the books that says anything related to meme coins, that's what I think many people love today. ;D
I know people that has learned basic of crypto and they have gained more than what some old investors has gotten here and not because they are intelligent, they got luck into some projects that has returned a good rate of investment for them. Like Injective protocol for instance has pump from less than a dollar to more than $40k here and all are from simple investment and luck.

I totally agree; it's really a recommendation, because who doesn't know Michael Saylor, the founder of MicroStrategy, who also develops mining software?Unfortunately, online courses will be very different from face-to-face applications because face-to-face there will be general interaction and can be discussed in more depth in the forum, whereas online there will always be restrictions.However, the problem with face-to-face is that it is certainly quite expensive, and it is better to learn via YouTube, as you said, and you can repeat it if you don't understand.Obviously, this is certainly very good information, and of course, there is no harm in following it if you are able.
