Hey folks, I've been getting really curious about the technical side of Bitcoin since I'm not all that knowledgeable about it. Does anyone have suggestions for a book, article, or website that dives deep into Bitcoin's tech stuff?
I'd really appreciate your advice and can't wait to see what you all have to share...
Thanks a lot!

You can read Mastering bitcoin for it.
Some people go for https://learnmeabitcoin.com/ instead. I think this one is easier to read. But I read about bitcoin wallets, keys and addresses on Mastering bitcoin. Just check the two out.
There are many books and even sites that you can actually get to learn and understand most basic and technical part of bitcoin. My first recommendation is to read through learnmeabitcoin, this will help guide you for most of the basics.
Then check this thread Blockchain Books, Bitcoin Movies And Documentaries (Updated) it has lots of books but my favourite there is Mastering bitcoin by Andreas Antonopoulos. It breaks it down a for a newbie in my opinion
Where can I get the Mastering Bitcoin book..? Any link..?
Because I have recently read the learnmeabitcoin just a week ago and I found the technical part more interesting because of it, and thats why I want to delve deeper into the technical aspects of Bitcoin.

Link to mastering bitcoin by Andreas Antonopoulos https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook
Learnmeabitcoin.com is more easier for newbies like you to understand fast. However, you can read from any of the links provided above.

Links has been shared for Mastering Bitcoin book but to tip you, don't limit your knowledge to a particular book. You may read that book and be confused about some stuff. Best you can do, be vast about your research, this forum alone is one of the best place you can get information, do check r/Bitcoin too, it's full of good info you will not see on books, some information are based on reviews and personal experiences, like hardware wallets informations.
When you have time, visit this website; https://www.lopp.net/bitcoin-information.html, it's great for beginners.

OP, for a complete beginner/newbie, read the developer guides in bitcoin.org. The guides are very easy to read, and they don't actually read like they're for developers.
https://developer.bitcoin.org/devguide/index.html
Everything you need to learn about the very basics/fundamentals of Bitcoin is there.
For further reading and if you have questions, I suggest Bitcoin Stack Exchange.
https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/
👍
I'm not sharing any links since I guess they have pretty much covered the basic
But something that helps, engage in discussions and share your view
It can be smoothened out by other members.
Or Bitcointalk. If I'm not mistaken this is also a Bitcoin discussion platform.

I believe that discussions about the technical side of things, Bitcoin Stack Exchange is still better than BitcoinTalk, although Gregory Maxwell and Andrew Chow do post/reply in more technical topics here.
OP, this thread in Bitcoin Stack Exchange is a good example of how discussions about current issues in Bitcoin start in that site.
