Bitcoin Forum

Hi! I'm a complete newbie to the bitcoin community. Do you guys have any recommendations on what I should be doing first? Would truly appreciate any advice you can provide. :)

How new and what do you want to learn?

We have a crypto currency site (https://www.cryptogamblingsites.com/) geared towards
1. Newbies in crypto and
2. Online gambling sites (mostly avoiding the scams)

If your post is just about the forums, maybe the best advice is to only post and follow the areas you are keen on and avoid all the arguments :)

Study and read the pinned topics.

A Beginner's Guide to Blockchain Technology - https://www.coindesk.com/information/

Welcome to the forum.

This place holds a wealth of information, it just takes a lot of searching to find the
valuable stuff in between the crap.

Best place to start is the Beginners and Help board > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0

Please dont fall into the usual trait of asking when bitcoin is going to go up or down
or deliver your lambo.

Jf you are 'investing' do so with only what you are prepared to loose. Try not to fall for
scams and read how you can progress to the various member levels. . .

Oh yea, and enjoy!

Welcome, there's isn't much to do, but there are lots to learn, all you have to do is be up to date, keep on following, and keep eyes on the trends. This is one great community to be involved in

Start by learning centralized and decentralized. If you find yourself open to blockchain projects which you will also learn here in the forum I guess then you won't be asking where to start. But let me give you a hint. Meet someone with bitcoin from localbitcoin and buy some. Having some bitcoin in your wallet won't stop you from doing other things later.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0

this is the basic need to do, go to that link and read more about the community.

study cryptocurrency and make more research.

be careful about hype and fud, never invest money on your stage, try to learn more.

Thanks! This is a good jumping point to start learning. :)

    Start by reading some rules and important things to know about cryptocurrency here in forum. Gain knowledge while reading and use it to start earning in cryptocurrency. Instead of asking the same questions that others already asked try to do research by your own and find some helpful tips on how to become successful in the field of cryptocurrency.

Thanks for this! I'll look into this and the possible profitability of crypto gambling. Though to be honest I'm a bit risk-averse when it comes to gambling so I'll be a bit more discerning in approaching this. :)

Better to have a reliable friend who can answer your questions from time to time because being new to Bitcoin world will trigger you many questions that need answers. And, you should do more researcher to learn more and acquire more knowledge about coin.

Hello there, im also a newbie in bitcoin community but if i can give some advice, i will suggest you to do some research and enrich your knowledge, just read as much as you can about bitcoin, and don't be afraid to ask something to the person who already senior. After that, you can start to decided you gonna trading or just investing in a long term using bitcoin.

For being new in this field, it is much better that you do step by step. At first, the most important  thing to do is gathered a lot and full information about anything that has the connection to this field therefore we can be much aware in anything that can be happen when we are already participating or involving to this. Be a knowledgeable person may lead us to the much  better and brighther way of our life. This field is not easy as we think so it is much advisable that we need to be much wiser and smarter therefore we can be successful in the future.

The first thing you want to start is to to spread positivity in this forum. Next read and read until you have fully understood the fundamental principles of cryptocurrencies. Lastly, you must learn to invest in tokens because you will gain a large amount of profit if you made educated decisions.

You could go to the Beginner/Help section rather than a Bitcoin discussion. However, I have reported you to the moderator so the thread will be moved to the Beginner/Help section.

Noted on this, thanks! :) Which wallet would you recommend that's most versatile?

Got it! I'm learning as much as I can as quickly as possible. Thanks for the tip!

The best way to start in this community is simply to get familiarize with the system itself. You can start it by doing some research of your own and have a deep study. Well in order for you to be successful in here you must know how the system works. As a newbie you must engage yourself in activities that gives knowledge about the community. Familiarity will help you as a newcomer.

The first thing that newbies need to do is love this field therefore all of the things that connected to it are become important to us. In literally speaking, love this system so we can have much long patience and hard work to do anything just for the sake of having and gathering a full knowledge about it so if that happen we can easily adapt and understand what will are the system is and at the same time we learned.

Got it! How much investment would you recommend to start with?

I would honestly advice you to read literature ( which is not that much) or look at web articles and Youtube clips on Bitcoins and cryptocurrencies. Especially focus on the paper on Bitcoins by Satoshi Nakamoto! And if you are into investing and trading on cryptos look at some prominent book on those subject before diving into become a millionaire in a fortnight! Many people invest in cryptos assuming that they can be super rich in a very hours, which has happened of course but not always true, so always get educated before jumping into a field like cryptocurrencies. All the best.

Let me tell you the most overused phrase on bitcointalk. "Invest what you can afford to lose" and don't buy Bitcoin only because cryptocurrencies are gaining more and more public attention. You should study the topic thoroughly and decide on your own whether or not it is worth your time, effort and money. Take your time to learn about the ways of securing coins. You don't want to lose your money because of web wallet which doesn't give you control of private keys.

That's why the top part of the site is all crypto currency focused...without any "pitch" to buy altcoins or invest in ICO's...

We might need to arrange it better to make it more clear...

The bottom part of the site is all the "gambling" site info and to be fair it's all gambling in crypto so be careful!

 Start learning all about crypto and ALT coins, how its work, how to invest, when to invest, where to invest, which coin do you have in mind, all other information should be consider, beware of the Bounty scam, if all this indicators had been review and learned, then start on small investment, with your extra money and can afford to loss if  you failed for such investment. Be Patient Learn More.

Welcome to crypto world.....

You should read informations about crypto currency and blockchain technology, how the system works, making wallet, etc. You can read all info here in our big community such as investment, trading practices, mining and other stuffs.

Good luck to your journey on Cryptocurrency........

As a beginner, I would advise you not to rush your knowledge and take one step at a time. Read a lot on the  bitcoin discusion, altcoin discussion and economic discussion  since these are the folders that count most when you start to participate signature bounty after you had achieve the 30 activity of your post.  Be mindful that you need to be on topic and not off topic since your post will be deleted and see to it that it should be a constructive post.

With this it will serve as a good foundation to you crypto career. Bitcoin will grow more in future therefore it is the right place at the right time.

Yeah, we try to start with the basics of "what is bitcoin" (https://www.cryptogamblingsites.com/bitcoin/) without all the FOMO most sites claim EVERYONE needs to buy Bitcoin. Some people really don't have a need for it now and there's no problem with standing on the sidelines, seeing if Bitcoin stores value like it's intended. If bitcoin isn't going anywhere, people can always "get in" a couple years from now.

This forum is undoubtedly a great place for the newcomers and the ones who want to know more about cryptocurrency and blockchain, so I welcome you. There isn't much thing to do but a lot to learn, you should read the pinned posts at first , and learn more about how the systems work, if you have any question or any sort of confusion we are always there to clear it for you so don't hesitate to ask any.

You need to research everything about bitcoin , in investing in bitcoin you need to have enough knowledge so you can make a wise decision for your future. Well I know that you can learn day by day you dont need to rush.

First go to youtube and watch some videos of Andreas Antonopoulos. Get them all into a playlist and watch them. THis will give you some basic understanding of the topic.
Next you should get a wallet. Bitcoin core or Electrum are the best. Get into an exchange like Coinbase and buy some Bitcoins. You can just buy $100 in Bitcoin or even less if you want. Get some and learn how to send and receive, how to use qr codes, how to set fees and so on. These are the basics.

Being a newbie is very greasy and exciting feeling and you will feel very new to this place but you have to learn a lot before investing into these crypto as when I was a newbie I have been told few things that I still remember and the foremost thing is that these crypto currencies are very volatile in nature and thus their valuation keeps on flactuation but you have to invest very wisely that when to buy and sell your coin and obviously you can take your decision emotionally as emotion can hinder your path to success.

Just be honest and you will get to learn a lot from this forum.

Cryptocurrency market shows a small recovery and it shows that bear market has temporary ended. I think this might be a good start for the crypto market in gaining it's momentum to a much further increase in the coming weeks. Investors are now at least slightly comfortable with the situation we're in now.
