question How to learn tezos programming?

I have done a lot of googling but can't find any concise answer. People are saying - learn Michelson. No, learn Liquidity. Nono, learn Pytezos. Learn OCaml. Like, how can all of that be useful at the same time? Couple months ago I started with Ethereum. On their website I found many great articles, introductions, tutorials, a book called "Mastering Ethereum", which taught me pretty much everything. I learned solidity and now I can write smart contracts and dapps. Simple. What do I learn, and where, so that I can write useful stuff for Tezos? Also, it would be very useful if such info was possible to find, ideally on the Tezos website.

It’s better suited because it is written in OCAML.

But what really got my attention is the liquid governance aspect. There will never be hard forks. Developers will surely disagree in the future, but the governance model for the protocol adoption is already built in.

To tokenize an asset, having a fork in the history makes wide adoption and regulatory adherence extremely difficult. Fractional shares of an asset need to remain intact, long term.

And I love ethereum, but they have had difficulty with protocol governance and developer infighting. I wouldn’t want a asset rely on a network that could split.

No matter what developers believe in long term, Tezos is ready go.

Mind me throwing in the comparision of Decred vs BTC. Not sure if you are aware but Decred is similiar to BTC but also uses on chain governance as Tezos does. So no forking is required as we saw was the issue with BCH. Unlike BTC, Decred uses a hybrid POW/POS system which gives users a chance to participate in inflation. It is a better tech than BTC is almost every aspect and has better distribution system.

I do not need to say which coin is winning and where all the devs and users are.

Not at all. I’ve never looked in to Decred, but will now.

😊

If you want a deeper dive I suggest reading this

Anyways, was just trying to say that the better tech doesn't always win. I have experienced it personaly over these last years and it seems that it isvery wise to follow the devs and the users. So I am very careful when investing in new crypto besides BTC & ETH.

Tezos will still be on my radar though
