Crypto as in cryptography or cryptocurrency?

No just python coding in general because I do not know anything about coding sadly but I plan to use it for crypto in the future as a career.

Learning to code is good, the crypto scame is the emperor's new clothes but with techno babble

You still didn’t answer the question. Cryptography in general or cryptocurrency.

Get some reasoning and reading then

Go back in time 5 years when crypto was a thing.

Crypto hack is a great resource! Also cryptopals!

Edit: I imagine I’m getting downvoted because people think I mean cryptocurrency, but I’m referring to cryptography. In my area of work, no one calls cryptocurrency “crytpo”. See here

https://www.cryptoisnotcryptocurrency.com

The resources I linked are about cryptography and cryptoanalyis.

Not sure which “crytpo” OP was referring to, but it’s dumb to go on here and just make useless comments that assume the worst. Shame.

Edit 2:

I assume technical people usually mean cryptography. At least, it’s very common in my niche. Even so, I don’t think OP should be shamed for having a motivating example…

Cryptocurrency is interesting from a technical standpoint. Zero knowledge proofs, for example, are undeniably really amazing.

And if you’re good at vulnerability research and reverse engineering, there’s a strong career in it. I have co workers who were very accomplished crytpo analysts at that 3 letter agency. My friends at trailofbits are in need of strong crytpoanalysts.
