Because of the recent rise in value of the total market cap of the crypto economy, I've found that many people coming into the space are doing it mostly for the investment side. Most groups I see on social media have the purpose of finding the next 10x coin. The focus is now purely on technical analysis of charts, which project is going to the moon, and what this mainstream guy said about Bitcoin and it all basically revolves around finance really.
Now I'm NOT bashing the financial side of things. When I speak with people 1 on 1 about what the ramifications of distributed technology is I always gets extreme excitement as a result. I love that! Because crypto's potential is INSANE when it comes to global societal changes, including financial.
So what I'm looking for is your TOP links you've sent people (online) that have successfully gotten them to tumble down the rabbit hole. What is your red pill?
Goal = 
Please share you red pills in the form of:
-Short reads
-Long articles
-Short video clips
-Medium to long talks, interviews or panels
-Full length documentaries
-Anything else that comes to mind!
I'll give you one example of an article I read awhile back I found very insightful.

I like a good story. And this book on the early days of Bitcoin is probably one of the best reads on the early days of crypto: Digital Gold by Nathaniel Popper: https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Gold-Bitcoin-Millionaires-Reinvent-ebook/dp/B00P6TZLOU/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
I finished this book in a single day!

That's not a bad strategy. Steemit is truly powerful when you show them. BUT most the time that is done in person.
I'm looking for resources to simply link to and say read/watch this and let's talk afterwards.... once your emerged from hours of internet browsing on blockchains!

I think the best thing to do is storytelling people about the internet 20 years ago while making an analogy to the blockchain.
We can see the very first uses of internet as internet 1.0, we can see facebook adoption as internet 2.0 and we can take the present moment as internet 3.0, the times when almost everybody has an social media account and a smartphone in their pockets.
The same corelation can be taken upon blockchain. Blockchain 1.0 representing Bitcoin, Blockchain 2.0 representing Ethereum and Blockchain 3.0 representing ... who knows? Maybe Nebulas?
The financial fact and exemplifying that it's actually early to get involved in crypto and not late is the red pills I share to people.
Thank you for this engaging post, @cob!

I am seeing the same as you, a lot of buzz about Crypto Currency from people looking to get rich quick. Reminds me of the dot-com boom when computer science students till studying for undergraduates degrees were being offer £100K a year jobs.
I think for those young people investing in crypto the following articles are worth a read to serve as cautionary tales. And yes, I do believe crypto is going to be the future, but will you end up buying Nokia when you should have waited for Samsung or Apple?

It's important to be informed and to only invest what you can afford to lose.
Crypto is still too complicated for most consumers to understand and use. When that changes, we will see the real revolution.

First the red pill, the blue pill and the rabbit hole. The sendings are very nice. Hayata quotes a magnificent work that teaches you to look at different angles. In short, Matrix. Come on, the real subject. The current situation is politicians and others who will influence the market share of crypto money. If you ask me, they all make moves to create the best price for their own interests. This is the effort to get the highest profit from this business. I also agree with you. I'm excited about talking to a friend about crypto money. @cob

What makes the crypto money market famous is the increase in the value of the bitcoin. As you said, most people will enter the market in 2015 with the hope that we will invest $ 100 for $ 100 now and make our money 10x. but it is not clear exactly what the value of these crypto money changes. so they can do harm. For most people, technology is not important. He's trying to fold his money. I am happy when I learn something new about crypto money. and I'm happy to talk and discuss this issue. Ever since I joined Steemit, I've been interested in crypto money. So thanks to Steemit.
I would also like to thank you for preparing an informative article that is not monetary. I hope you share more. I enjoy reading your writings. Thank you for sharing this post. @cob

There are many groups on this subject. There are a lot of people talking. These unnecessary people probably have no more than half of the bigger. Especially these people talk about 10x win. There are not many people like you. Information people, people like you should be here more. We need your ideas.

You can also tell people how easy is to multiply from 1000$ to 1.000.000$ which is just doubling your investment 10 times and in crypto world that can actually happen in few weeks if you got the right information, considering how different alt coins or ICOs grow day by day!
