Bitcoin Forum

My name is Finbar, I'm a software developer. I'm enthusiastic about bitcoin, and I want to learn more on how the system operates. Got introduced by my friend, but still a little bit confused. But I believe within a year or two here, I'll be brushed up. Please I need little cooperation with you guys, to help me achieve this goal, Thanks.

Apart from the useful information provided by tranthidung, I would recommend you to visit the technical sections of the forum, because if you are a software developer you will not find it too difficult to understand what is discussed there (many people on the forum find it difficult) and you will see that there are much more serious discussions than in other sections.

Just a heads up: don't make the same mistake with a lot of people by going into trading immediately.

The forum is welcoming to every new user and crypto-related business but the rules are not to be broken and that's the important area I believe you need to learn.

OP, even when you are a developer, you have to understand first the technology that you are going to use. You have to learn how bitcoin is being transacted and what concludes it's transaction. In order to learn all of this I would suggest you to read, read and read some more.

Welcome mate, indeed you in right place, it is call bitcointalk.org but it beyond the name because once they see the name they think it is for cryptocurrency which is not. With your experience you have as a software developer you will be useful in this forum. Read the rules very well and understand it. I assure you that you will never regret being here. Once again congratulation.

YT-Channels of Anthony Pompliano and InvestAnswers are helpful. (https://h2-intel.com) The Books from antonopoulos are also good.

You have been given resources, and if you're serious about learning about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, you should consider using these connections. I started with http://Learnmeabitcoin.com and mastering bitcoin, and both of these greatly aided me in understanding what was required of a beginner.

Welcome to forum Finbar. It is okay to be confused when you don't know about bitcoin. I started like that. But am telling you not to be confused any longer. The whole information you needed to know about bitcoin or any other altcoin has already been discussed here. You can make use of the search option to see for yourself. We were all once a newcomer to this forum but as time progressed we begin to get ourselves knowledgeable about bitcoin and crypto.

You are welcome bro, I assure you, you have come to the best forum that can help you know much about bitcoin or crypto related and also in terms of investing a lot of people on this forum will advice on this same forum. But bro all depends on how ready and focused you are about learning about it. Once again you are welcome.

There are so many resources to learn about bitcoin if you are really interested in it but I would say watch Andreas videos over YouTube channel and he will educate you about the topic in detail and simple manner.He is true advocate of bitcoin and regularly conduct seminars also to teach youngsters and other people about bitcoin and blockchain technology with examples and clear understanding.So you can see his videos or just follow the links mentioned above by members.

Many people prefer watching videos as a way of learning. I am one of those. yazher collected several YouTube videos and documentaries that you could take a look at. Blockchain Books, Bitcoin Movies And Documentaries (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5142007.0). The books are the same as in the thread tranthidung shared from the Philippines local board. But the English topic also includes those videos that I mentioned.

You'll be fine if you read these excellent sources of information that are given to you. I recommend you begin with learnmeabitcoin.com, as it's newbie-friendly but technically sufficient. It's as useful as it should. Don't buy anything if you don't feel confident of comprehending the protocol enough. Use this forum if you have any technical, economical or political questions regarding this matter.

I hope the op is still around to get all of these useful information that have been posted here, they don't seem to be very active, or maybe they are reading instead of posting, and it is good if that is it; but this my post is not about the op, it is about how good bitcointalk is, op may have been the one to create this topic, but the replies have been very useful to me, and i feel it will not just be only me, but many other members too. I feel this is what makes bitcointalk the best bitcoin community with so much information, and to get it you just have to search or ask.

I Hope OP will be back soon and read all the useful replies by our forum mates because as we can see the last time he is around in the forum 1 week and 1 day but his last post is on August 19 which is three weeks before, maybe he start learning by reading books or in the links, or maybe watching  in YouTube.  But if he is not then all the replies here is not for her/him but to those users actually want to learn about crypto.
