I’m sorry to hear that. The Optech Newsletter aims to inform people working in our industry, so it naturally tends to be pretty technical. We do try to provide a lot of background information via e.g. the topic pages, and you can find more information on many different questions on Bitcoin Stack Exchange, but I could see how it might be a bit hard to get far enough into the topic to get much out of our newsletter. If you are just starting to dive into the technical aspects of Bitcoin, maybe a book like Grokking Bitcoin or Mastering Bitcoin 3rd Edition would be more accessible.
