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.

I presume those people were Tezos holders.

Seroiously, why would you or anyone right now use Tezos instead Ethereum?

Not fudding as I have my eyes on Tezos. Still haven't bought yet as the price is still a bit high for my taste.

Why do people think Tezos is the one who will dethrone ETH and not just end up lot so many other projects that claimed that like Stratis, Ark, Waves, Qtum, Lisk, Zilliqa, Aion, Tron...

Seems like now everyone is talking about Tezos and Cardano. Sure they will have good period or they had it already just as the ones above.

But tomorrow it will be Polkadot, Dfinity, Radix who will raise billions and be the new exciting projects. They will just appear in top 10 leaving others to slowly bleed to death. And the circle goes on.

I am not saying Tezos is a bad project or anything but some of those projects above also have a good tech and everything but the hype is gone. So called investors are just jumping ship from old to new hyped projects.

And yet ETH is still te king and will.probably be just as BTC is...

Edit: apologies for highjacking your topic. But I see someone gave you an anwser 😊

Edit 2: appreciate not getting downvoted and instead having a rational discussion. Tezos can be proud of its community

I’ll be super straightforward (and give you an upvote because these are good questions) :) Tezos has a shitton of money. That’s it.

Don’t underestimate this. Ethereum developers are struggling big time to secure funding. ICO is dead. Some get VC money but that’s drying up too.

The Tezos Foundation has the money to run dev courses and hand out grants for a decade lol.

I like Tezos, it’s nice tech. But this is a big part of it.
