I want to learn crypto and invest, but I have zero knowledge.. Where do I begin?

I’d like to learn about crypto and eventually invest, but I honestly have no idea where to start. I don’t have any knowledge about it or the tools to get into it yet.

It kind of feels like expecting a kid who just started school to understand advanced math, or expecting someone who has never coded in their life to suddenly know a programming language. That’s not how it works you need to learn the basics first… or am I wrong? I’m genuinely asking.

I’ve tried asking this on different social media platforms, but people often assume I already know the basics or got made fun of which makes it pretty frustrating

And that’s exactly where I’m at right now. I literally know nothing about crypto except that it has something to do with investing and that’s it.

So where should someone like me even begin? How would you go about teaching a complete beginner how to actually understand crypto and start investing?
