My question is how does one get started. I've mostly been looking at options but futures seems like a different beast altogether.

Leverage over here is hard mode and certainly not something anyone should start on even if coming from options. Ideally, you’d be trading spot (regular buy and sells, BTC only) after learning support and resistance. If you don’t learn how to trade support and resistance on spot you will end up shorting the bottom and longing the top on futures.

Can I get a reading list/ watch list like you did above? I'm not in this field but I have interest and feel like I'm not restricted by my intelligence, and will be able to grasp It with effort, time and proper direction on where to look.
At bare minimum want to exercise my mind with concepts I'm unfamiliar with.

Sorry, I never saw your post! My list remains the same: Bulkowski and Teo, support and resistance, paper trade/prop firm before going on your own, and do not use leverage - it’s not for learning. You can do all the necessary studying, but nothing beats firsthand experience. And trading is a deeply psychological activity so you will know soon enough if you’re fit.
