Looking to get started in trading options. I have $20,000 just sitting in my bank account not doing anything. How/where should I start learning about this? Everything I see seems to be retards on youtube or bullshit click bait websites.

Have you ever stopped and wondered why you only find this? It's to take retards away from their cash.

Trading is a zero-sum game.
No value is ever added.
In fact every transaction diminishes the value of whatever is being traded because of fees.
With that in mind, do you really want to undertake an engagement where more than half of all participants lose money, and in which you have no training, education or experience?

You say it like it's a bad thing.

Gains are only made when others lose an equivalent amount. Even if you are the best at it, your profits are limited to whatever others are willing to lose.
What could possibly be good about it?

But that's entirely inaccurate.

Except that there's no limit to that at all.
Hey, there's something that's good about it!

That's not how it works. You're confusing stocks (owning a piece of a company) with a card game.
Look at historical prices of an old blue chip to see. Stocks don't go straight up and people will lose money and companies can go under, but saying owning is a zero sum game is simplistic and inaccurate.
