Bitcoin Forum

Hello guys,

I registered here a while back but as it has become hot again i want to know everything about this industry.

I know a few thing or two but i want to know in dept about all this stufs like how blockchain functions, how does market works, how the price goes up and down, some basic terminologies that are used everyday here.. etc

Can anyone recommend any book or anything?? I am extremely curious as i think thw blockchain technology is the future and many industries will benefit from it.

My background (if anyone want to know): I am an internet marketer with around 5 years or experience and really think that i am already behind and want to catch up as fast as I can.

Sorry if there are any typos, i posted this via my mobile.

Thank you all in advance!!

learning takes time and effort. start with google! search for anything you want to learn, use different keywords, spend some time and if you didn't find the answer to your questions or if the answer you found was not clear enough and you still had doubts then come back here and ask a clear and specific question.
asking "I want to learn about bitcoin and blockchain" is a very broad question that does not have any answer.

you can aslo start by reading the bitcoin.org website, bitcoin wiki, and some of the articles on coindesk which are about basics of bitcoin like how it works, how mining works, what is a wallet, where to buy, where to spend, ...

and price is a completely different topic. you need to learn about things affecting the market, learn about trading, and possibly learn more about technical analysis and how to read charts,...

Well here you are. This is the best place to learn about anything specially about bitcoin and blockchain technology. You don't need to buy any book. Just save your money and buy bitcoin.  ;D. You can even use the search button and look for anything you are interested. There are a lot of knowledgeable members around and you can ask everything under the sun and for sure you will got an answer. Welcome back.

I am only learning through google and my friends that are teaching me about it,
But I guess you could learn a lot from google if you are going to study about bitcoin,
After all I think the internet almost have every detail that we need to know about it.

yes i know few things like how mining works, what are wallets, where to buy etc.
I want to know about blockchain etc, there are few books I saw but don't know which one is decent to start with.
I think book will be a great resource to get in dept knowledge.


About, price, yes you are right, i need to learn the stuff affecting the market, I think its basically same as how stock market trading works.


and yes I did register in 2013 :D
actually i was in some marketing forum and this was a hot topic there and thought i would register, but hardly ever came back until couple weeks ago, been lurking since hah.

Thanks for your comment btw :)

Hi Coinzzz! I just want you to know that you had a very good choice by studying about the wonderful technology which is blockchain.

Just like to every beginner thread I read, I always suggest reading coindesk's guide compilation. It's enough to get you started. Link: coindesk.com/information/

Unfortunately I can't suggest you any books since I haven't personally read a blockchain-focused book, but you might be interested in some informative youtube channels. Here are some I personally watch:

Crypt0: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdUSSt-IEUg2eq46rD7lu_g
Boxmining: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxODjeUwZHk3p-7TU-IsDOA

Chris Dunn: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdC3h2m88FC02Yw-A_VESRQ

hah yes ikr, this is the best forum to learn about cryptocurrency thats why i created thread here ;)
Thanks, all the members seems very helpful :)



Thanks for the resources mate :)




Thanks, ya as blockchain is backbone behind bitcoin(and altcoins ofc) and the way it can be used in various other industries astonishes me, thats why I thought I should read more and more about this first.

yes I read few coindesk's articles, actually its been open in my another tab already since a week(with 25 other tabs xD) :D


Nice recommendations there, I'll check these channels out thanks :)

You will not be able to learn everything about Bitcoin, etc. from a single source.

You must do research in many places online such as this forum, bitcoin instructional websites, YouTube, etc.

You must also create a wallet, paper wallet, download a wallet client, make addresses, learn about mining Bitcoins, read about alternate cryptos, etc. Nothing beats experience... the more time you spend on Bitcoin, the more knowledgeable you will become about it.

There is much information that is freely available on the internet about Bitcoin. There are some good books you can read, some of which are free. One good book for learning about Bitcoin is called "Mastering Bitcoin". I think that it's a free book but I'm not entirely sure. This book talks about the technology of Bitcoin, as well as how wallets are created. the way transactions work, the security features and all kinds of other details.
You can also find many videos on the topic on Youtube. Checking out this forum and various blogs can also be of use to know about the most recent news.

I really recommend anyone wanting to learn about Bitcoin to use Khan Academy. The creator of the videos gives a great overview of digital signatures, how transactions work, proof of work, block chains and their security, and how bitcoins are generated. Its great for beginners and even people who have some knowledge but are confused about certain topics.

Check it out: https://www.khanacademy.org/economics-finance-domain/core-finance/money-and-banking/bitcoin/v/bitcoin-what-is-it

Here's a great place to start:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBC-nXj3Ng4

This is what I was talking about... how trx work, proof of work, etc.

Thanks a lot man, this is the one that I was after :D

gonna download all the khan academy vids now.

I think this forum is best for you. You can find out everything here.

yes ikr :D

I am using this websites search instead of google, better results haha.

Welcome to bitcointalk this is a very good forum where you can get much information consigning bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Just navigate to different sections on this forum, in some section you will get links to other websites where more information as regards bitcoin is being mentioned. Although it  may take some of your time but surely you will gain a lot.

The Antonopoulos book is a good on to start with, but it's good to have
a "double exposure" so I recommend the "Princeton book" and the associated
material that are available here http://bitcoinbook.cs.princeton.edu/

Note that the early version of the book is freely downloadable here

If you have a strong desire to learn all about bitcoin and blockchain then I don't think you need to ask about where to find the resources there are so many of them there on the internet. In present day world when we have almost the entire world at our fingertips it's not that hard to learn anything about something whose backbone is the internet itself. Just google whatever you want to learn about bitcoin, watch videos on YouTube, read articles on Wikipedia and seek help from your friends and if you don't have a friend who can help you with bitcoin then you have this forum where there are so many people who know almost everything about bitcoin. Just make efforts and you will be successful in learning everything about bitcoin.

There is some interesting infos like devs SegWit support who show that SegWit2x is a joke :

Once you've gotten past public blockhains and PoW/PoS, you might want to continue with reading up on private blockchain implementations that businesses are starting to look into. Hyperledger is one of them:

I really learned a lot from this forum and read a lot of topics here that helped me too.

I think for learning purpose YouTube is the best channel. One can search his desired topic and you tube will provide it to you. There are many other ways of learning like Google search and other search engines, but I think YouTube is the best option. You can found a lot of videos about bitcoin and block chain on YouTube. Go there and watch your desired programme. You can also learn many other things.

Yes I agree. The Google is the most experienced teacher, which will teach you everything you want. There are also many other sources like YouTube and daily motion etc. to learn about bitcoin, blockchain and other cryptocurrency.

But I think the most common and popular one is no doubt Google. Just give your required page or address and the Google will display everything about it.

First of all, I wish you a good start in what you started, though I am new. There are many ways you can learn how to work all the way with bitcoin you can go to pages that give the right information to know what you are doing without fear of not doing anything wrong.

Yes that is right that any kind of information can be find on internet. you can find all sort of information about bitcoin and blockchain and other crypto currencies.
