Current knowledge base on trading extremely poor beside a couple youtube videos on crypto TA + read twitter daily following crypto community there.
I'm not going to say that being involved in those communities is a complete waste, there's something to be said for immersing yourself in the topic, but make sure your mind set is just that you are increasing exposure, not that you're actually developing your skills from those sources. Similar to how TS has plenty of posts in this forum worth reading while if you tried to take positions based on his posts you'd probably lose a small fortune.
It sounds like you're fairly new and uninformed in the trading space, the first step should be defining goals more clearly for yourself. Do you want to trade crypto, equities, derivatives, bonds? What timeframe do you want to trade? What skills do you have that will allow you to outperform the market? Do you want to trade your own money in your basement or as a team for a firm?
I'd suggest starting with some books that may not teach you to trade, but introduce you to the trading world so you can start answering those questions. Biographies and the like such as ed thorpes book, market wizards, and anything else that catches your eye. Try to find an irl trader to meet and chat with you. You'll get better information there than anything people will provide on the internet.
