The Internet Computer is amazing blockchain technology with endless possibilities 🤯 — but a bit overwhelming at first. 😬

So, I decide to make it super easy.

Here’s a list of VERY easy ways to start learning about #InternetComputer:

1) Read this essay from @dominic_w. He’s the President of @dfinity, the primary non-profit organization behind the Internet Computer. This is one of my favorite summaries of what Internet Computer is, and its potential:

2) Watch this short video. @BobBodily is not only my friend, but one of the funner, most enthusiastic and smart advocates for the Internet Computer.

In just a few minutes he explains what the Internet Computer is, and why it matters:

3) Watch this longer video with @dominic_w and @cdixon.

Chris Dixon is one of the single smartest crypto thinkers on the internet, and an investor in Internet Computer. Together they talk about the possibilities of the Internet Computer:

4) Buy ICP (Internet Computer Protocol) on @coinbase or another exchange. The price is much lower right now than it has been for most of the year, so I think it’s a great deal...

(Not financial advice.)

@coinbase 5) Create a wallet to store your ICP.

Several good wallet options, but I’m partial to stoicwallet.com because we’re building it.

Another popular option is plugwallet.ooo.

6) Read about Internet Computer on ICP.guide.

This is probably the best guide for newcomers, created by @bobbodily.

Plus, it tells you exactly how you can stake your ICP.

@BobBodily 7) Check out the @Dfinity showcase.

These are many of the coolest applications that are being built on the Internet Computer. Every application has a team and community behind it — lots of people to connect with. Here’s the showcase: dfinity.org/showcase/

8) Try building a super easy website on the Internet Computer. You’ll need a wallet to get started, but @icme_app (built by @HoumanShadab ) is a great tool for no-code builders: …gsn-caaaa-aaaaf-qaahq-cai.raw.ic0.app

@icme_app @HoumanShadab 9) Hang out in the @Dfinity forums. I’d start with the Roadmap — you can see things that Dfinity is planning to build, with a lot of great conversations about the merits of different approaches:

dfinity.org/roadmap/

10) Check out NFTs on the Internet Computer. You can buy them on Entrepot.app (@EntrepotApp ) after connecting your wallet.

Lots of amazing collections like @ICPuppies, @icmoji, @ICPBunny, @pokedstudiouk and many many more to come!

11) Scroll through another great list of Internet Computer applications by @DfinityApps.

Tons of cool stuff here and links to lots of things you might be interested in: icapps.xyz

12) Join a Telegram group. Always good discussions debating some of the latest features or news about the Internet Computer.

The core @Dfinity community group is here: t.me/dfinitycommuni…

13) Follow some of the core @Dfinity team members on Twitter to see what’s going on.

SO many to choose from but some off of the top of my head: @dominic_w, @whizwang, @BronerMatthias, @annaescher, @ililic, @CashBowie. Tons more, feel free to add to this list!
