It would take quite a bit time, but with enough dedication, it's not that difficult. The books: Mastering Bitcoin and Mastering Ethereum (although ethereum one is a bit outdated now) cover a lot of it pretty nicely and you can find them for free on github.

Andreas Antonopoulos' books Mastering Bitcoin and Mastering Ethereum are fantastic. I'd recommend starting with those to get a good handle on the basics.

If you’re technical, read Mastering Bitcoin and Mastering Ethereum, both for free on GitHub https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook, and https://learnmeabitcoin.com/technical/

Reason being is that how most of crypto works is a derivative of bitcoin or ethereum. And, it’s fairly normal in a technical sense, just applied in a unique way that needs to be understood via good ref doc.

Once you wrap your head around those two anchor protocols and get a sense of how it relates to its comp sci primitives (file systems, p2p, cryptographic certs), it can be really demystified - ie “blockchain” is stored as blocks on a file system, in the comp sci sense.
