1/ In last two weeks, I’ve caught up to the potential of blockchains and the power of Ethereum. Here are all the resources I came across during my reading.
You will need to bookmark this thread. Lots of juice.

2/ This thread is a continuation of the weekly reading recap that I did two weeks ago on basics of bitcoin and blockchain. If you are a cryptonoob, I recommend first going through this thread:
3/ What is @ethereumproject? Think of Ethereum as a platform that enables anyone who has programmed JavaScript or other such high-level languages to explore the potential of blockchains. 
4/ Start by reading Programmable blockchains by @leashless. He explains Ethereum and its potential in the context of how software has evolved from pre-Internet days. Even if you are non-technical, I HIGHLY recommend the article. media.consensys.net/programmable-b…
5/ If you are technical, DO NOT miss reading the original introduction to Ethereum. I can’t stress enough how simply and beautifully written the white paper. Thanks @VitalikButerin for doing what you're doing github.com/ethereum/wiki/…
6/ When you are ready to get your hands dirty, head over to Cryptozombies by @loomnetwork where they teach you basics of programming on Ethereum by making a game. It’s super fun. I have tried it. cryptozombies.io
7/ Current implementations of blockchains (including Ethereum) are slow. This is a blocker for their widespread adoption. For a better understanding on current technical issues and possible solutions to scaling issues, read this article by @iam_preethi hackernoon.com/blockchains-do…
8/ If you are ready to have your mind blown away with futuristic ideas based on Ethereum, I recommend reading ‘Organisations That Create Themselves (through Ethereum)’ by @simondlr medium.com/@simondlr/orga…
9/ For a strange blend of Artificial Intelligence and Blockchains, read AI DAOs, and Three Paths to Get There by @trentmc0 blog.bigchaindb.com/ai-daos-and-th…
10/ Now, to get a better intuition about blockchains, read Explaining blockchain — how proof of work enables trustless consensus by @coinfund_al keepingstock.net/explaining-blo…
11/ Then read 'Why Everyone Missed the Most Mind-Blowing Feature of Cryptocurrency' by @dan_jeffries1 where he emphasizes on why decentralization is an important ideal to pursue for humanity’s future hackernoon.com/why-everyone-m…
12/ Blockchain Tokens and the dawn of Decentralized Business Model by @FEhrsam explains how blockchains challenge traditional business models by creating economic incentives for users using a protocol vs accumulating value in a central place (like Uber) blog.coinbase.com/app-coins-and-…
13/ Also read 'Blockchains Never Forget' by @vgr. Since you cannot erase data from blockchains (not even governments), his concept of artificial forgiveness will become increasingly important. Institutions rewrite history by forgetting inconvenient “facts” ribbonfarm.com/2017/05/25/blo…
14/ Finally, to understand what “network effects of network effects” mean, do not miss this twitter thread by @naval
15/ That’s all folks! Every week, I tweet all the interesting articles I come across, so follow me to keep updated.
