New to Blockchain & Cryptocurrency - how do I get myself in the right place to take advantage??

Hi all,
I am a newbie to both the Blockchain and Cryptocurrency, I have learnt what little I know via a small but very interested group that has formed at my workplace, an offshore law firm.

We are looking into Python coding language, following an online course and generally reading up and absorbing as much info as possible.

I personally have started investing in cryptocurrencies, but are they the right ones??, I am keen to get views, opinions pointers on how best to position myself both professionally and personally to take advantage make the most of this new technology, currency, world we live in??

Whilst I am not a technie/programmer/developer, I do have a strong technical understanding
Thanks for reading,
