Is your intention to learn more about the protocol, try to invest, mine bit coins, use it to buy stuff, work on using the programmability of the protocol to create new types of stuff?

If you're on HN, you're probably a technical person. There's a lot of great resources about the protocol itself that are interesting, but this is one of my favorite introductory resources that kind of made it all click for me.

The best way to get into Bitcoin is reading Satoshi Nakamoto's paper that started everything: http://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

Generally http://bitcoin.org is the de-facto resource to bootstrap your cryptocurrency know-how.

If you like podcasts, the folks at http://letstalkbitcoin.com are fun to listen to and informative as well.

Have fun and good luck!
