The stuff I linked above I thought was good.

Unfortunately, as is becoming more and more true in our pretty weird modern inter-connected world there's no substitute for getting your own hands dirty, reading primary sources and trying to understand what's true and what's bullshit yourself. Only then can you really evaluate who is worth listening to and what is actually interesting (I found the above stuff I linked to be good, but you should judge them for yourself).

The 'investment' bit is kind of secondary (https://soliditylang.org/), I personally think BTC, ETH, and Coinbase stock are the main long term bets - other stuff has extreme risk and requires a lot of attention to know if it's worthwhile or not. I do think the ZCash privacy model is cool.

Basically, I wouldn't invest unless you're going to sort through the nonsense yourself. Though like any investing the stuff where the value is harder to see is also where the bigger returns are (and the bigger failures).
