Hi everyone, I’m a complete beginner (zero experience) looking to start learning how to build AI tools related to cryptocurrency, and I could really use some direction from people who actually know what they’re doing. My long-term goal is to create AI that could help with things like analyzing crypto markets, spotting trends, or helping beginners make smarter decisions. Nothing fancy right away — I just want to start learning the right way from the ground up. The problem I’m running into is that most of the YouTube videos and content I find feel like clickbait — lots of hype about “build AI in 5 minutes” or “make money with AI bots,” but not much real guidance on what skills to learn first or what a realistic learning path looks like. About me:
- 0 programming or AI experience
- Interested in crypto and technology
- Willing to put in time to learn properly
- Looking for a realistic starting point, not shortcuts My questions: What skills should I learn first (Python? math? machine learning basics?) Are there any beginner-friendly courses, books, or roadmaps you’d actually recommend? How long does it realistically take before someone can build simple AI tools? For crypto-related AI specifically, what would be a good first small project? I’d really appreciate honest advice — even if it means starting very basic. I just want to avoid wasting time chasing hype and instead build real skills step by step. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share guidance 🙏 submitted by /u/killabeezattack1
