Bitcoin Forum

hi there,

the community can only grow strong if one keeps learning more and spreads knowledge around.
Are there any good resources to learn BTC, preferably some youtube tutorials?
I am not referring to some basic things like how to send /receive money or connect to a node or stuff like that.
I need some more advanced technics like OP_RETURN and so on.

Good wisdom, please?

You can just get advice on a topic, you will need to do research, gain knowledge on it, and then ask questions when you get confused.

The forum has lots of posts about different topics and you can use the search option at the top icons to research on them and possibly join previous conversations.

Actually you can search anything you're want to learn on google, just type "Technical Bitcoin Guide". This is a good read for your interest https://learnmeabitcoin.com/technical/

It doesn't make sense if there's a user need to write any explanation about technical things since it's too lot. You can start by reading someone thread on Development and Technical Discussions (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=6.0) and read the replies too. It's better if you're also doing a practice after you learn, to make you more understand regarding what you've learn before.

I can't recommend YouTube to beginners as a learning ground because alot if videos that talks about what is not it at all were there for distractions, newbie can have a good start from the bitcointalk forum here itself, read the books and materials about bitcoin and learn from experienced members who had been into it full time.

I started watching Youtube when I'm learning a few years ago and still a beginner. Why are you removing Youtube as one of the platforms to learn Bitcoin?

Why not recommend it when you can still learn about it? I, myself is a proof that Youtube is still a good platform to learn anything with regards to Bitcoin and crypto in general because I used it when I'm starting and in fact, I heavily watched documentaries in Youtube. You are just focusing on the negative part of it, which are the distractions, but still there are some Youtube videos that is still good for newbies to watch, and they can learn from it.

It is a known fact that the internet is filled with fake and wrong information. Anyone can just come up with his own information without proper studies or evidence. But it would also be wrong to conclude that the web is not a viable source or information or channel of learning. It has been proved that YouTube is one of the best platforms for the acquisition of knowledge, especially for beginners. It has the potential of teaching users practical knowledge because of its high quality audiovisual functions. Learning on YouTube is simplified that one book can be summarized in few slides or videos. YouTube saves a lot of time for learners. But it is important for learners to verify what they learn from any internet source from other reliable sources.   


The truth is that you are already in a forum that has materials on almost everything about Bitcoin. The founder of Bitcoin was once here (maybe still here), therefore you can get firsthand information from this forum. All the thread in this forum are filled with priceless information about Bitcoin. You just need to be patient because learning is a gradual process. If you hang around this forum for few months, you would be surprise that you have learnt more than you imagined. 

The internet have made it very easy for us to access information ( be it good or bad information) anytime we need them, you have youtube like you mentioned, or better still, the various search engines around will get you any information you want, some search engines can even get you contents from the dark web if you know how to choose/use the right keywords.

For your query, i will suggest you use google, with google, you are pretty much assured that you will find anything you are looking for concerning bitcoin, from novice to really advanced knowledge of bitcoin, whatever you want to know, no matter how technical it is, google will link you to the right source, if the information you are looking for is on this forum, be rest assured that google will bring you back here and to the thread containing the information you are looking for.
I am sure you know about all i said above already... so see this as a reminder.

Have you gone through this board or make your research around here, I believe there are lots of materials over here that could give you all you wanted. Just as i always does, if search around the forum I didn't get it then i go over YT to watch those videos.
Still believe this forum have a lot of information that concerns bitcoin and many more.

Not sure with YouTube videos, but probably with books.

https://programmingbitcoin.com/

If you don't like books, probably search on YouTube if either Andreas or Jimmy has some workshops recorded.

Bro on this forum there is divided sub-forum sections according to the requirement you can visit the technical discussion section of this forum so you can easily learn a maximum of the technical things there are many topics covered there also there is feedback on those forum posts so y can learn more. Seniors can assist you there.

You are in the right forum where you can get the most answers and knowledge that you're seeking only if you are willing to read and learn from the useful information that will be given to you by other members here. The Internet is full of incomplete and fake videos that's why I can not recommend any youtube videos for you to watch and learn. I will suggest you visit the beginners and help board a lot of threads have been created there to guide and answer the questions of newbies, you will get every answer to your question and your knowledge as well will be increased once you read, understand and make research to what you have been provided with.

There is a lot of information on the forum. You can also find them all in the search section. But you can also check youtube. But you have to be careful. There are thousands of videos on Youtube that are just made for making videos, full of empty information. I recommend you to watch not a single video on the subject you are interested in, but many different videos. If you can't find an answer in the forum (I don't think so because I found everything I was wondering about here), you can ask in detail about the relevant topic. The choice is yours. And I suggest you pay attention to this. Before paying for paid trainings, try to reach the things you are curious about for free.

I think joining this forum is also enough, to know about bitcoin and crypto trading. if I think
in terms of trading bitcoin and crypto have to dig yourself can not depend on others. and also learn from experience. because most people who are successful in bitcoin and crypto they learn from their respective experiences.

whether this forum can not be a good resource for you. All the knowledge you want is in this forum, use the search and search for what you want to learn. Or you can just try searching on google and it's very simple. You need to read diligently and begin to understand it.
But when you come to this forum and ask for the right source to learn BTC, you are already in a better place than other sources. youtube and other media only as a supporting option.

First of all this forum is great to learn about Bitcoin you can search here. Bitcoin Discussion thread is best to learn more. You may visit and can use search bar to search about any topic.

And second, If you want to learn in the best way, you should do your research first. After research, if you have confusion, any point which you are not understanding.

You can make a post here and ask questions. Here you will get more knowledge and you will get your answers. :)

The forum is designed very neatly that makes it easier for you to find information according to what you need. You can visit the sub Bitcoin Discussion and Child Boards to make it easier to learn BTC, there are many educational posts there that you can use as references to increase knowledge about BTC.
Besides Forums, there are also other media that you can use to find additional information, Google, YouTube and Twitter. Suggestions from the seniors above can be used as additional references to increase your knowledge. Keep reading on certain sections and ask some questions on the parts you don't understand.

We've got a lot of good and technical guys in the forum, you may start asking those questions on Development & Technical Discussion  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=6.0) or Bitcoin Technical Support (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=4.0).
So, from those guides and links that were given to you. If you have something that still don't understand, try to ask on those sections and you will likely receive the answers from the tech experts there.

You could create same query on Google or yt, would have gotten the answer.

Sorry if that's rude, dunno any other way to answer these  ;D

Youtube is a video sharing site, that is why people are making videos there. It's also weird to say that a video is empty in information if the video is about teaching something else or giving an information but there are so many click-baits on there and then paid influencers who just shill a random coin. That is the one that we must avoid. Our forum is pack of information but sometimes they are scattered and not compiled in one thread.

There are also people who is just slow to comprehend things if they are only reading it but they think they can easily digest the information if they are only watching and listening to it. That is why many people prefer youtube tutorials.

You can learn Bitcoin as a beginner in this forum, this forum is designed for any related bitcoin discussion, if you take your time to read most article on this forum, I believe there is nothing you want to know that will not be answered correctly.

You can also learn from outside this forum by making research on your own using google. There is nothing you will ask google that you will not get the answers to your question. Youtube is also a learning platform which is very good because you can even learn by watching video,which shows the practical aspect of the topic. There are some real information on Youtube video.

Any crypto-related questions, ask them here. You can get all the answers to your questions on YouTube or google but can you tell whether the YouTuber is giving out false information or not? Because many YouTubers are giving out different information about bitcoin. But here, in the forum, you get all the answers and information you need by simply making use of the search space to get already existing answers to your questions for your better understanding.

Since you are in the forum then you are right place to learn. Bitcoin technical section has been suggested by other users from where you may learn technical things related to Bitcoin. In the forum a lot of technical people with decent knowledge will help you. Always you can use search if need anything to know, if you failed then don't hesitate to create a new thread regarding your question. People are here very helpful.

There's nothing hidden under the sun Net. ;D
We even got YouTube as you've mentioned, so you could watch videos about the 'Technical processes '; I guess that's what you want right? Stiffs like OP_RETURN as you mentioned isn't some easily explained facts done by regular users like alot of peeps in here. You could get a whole lotta ideas 💡 that'll lead you to leamlight if you'd wanna be a technical kinda user, yunno. Just follow up those links and search yourself some couple of vids to start the day with, flaunt the dev&tech board and learn as you do some. Ps: if you haven't had any basis on technically graphed ideas, you'll be wasting your time to read out from the dev&tech boards. Get the basis FIRST.

OP. I think this forum is very good for learning Bitcoin. This forum provides a variety of needs that we want. If something is hindering due to ignorance, then we can ask it on this board.
Regarding technicals, the bitcointalk forum also provides a technical-related discussion board. There we will find every answer we need about Bitcoin technicals.

All available on this bitcointalk forum.
The important thing is to do your activities first when you experience problems, discuss them in this forum.

It is better  if newbies can find a place like bitcointalk.org to learn about bitcoin.  Bitcointalk will be a hood foundation for newbies to get right knowledge.  The reason why starting with YouTube video won't be good for beginners is because their are lot video that can lead beginners to go astray. Leaning from a reliable source first will help beginners to know which YouTube video will be good to learn from. Learning from someone who knows better is also good for beginners.

Of course it's true, but the OP really needs to say something specific so people can point him to the right board.
I thought the OP might want to learn about bitcoin technicals and some people have suggested the correct board for him, maybe that's what he needs.

Yes, right. Forum have several board suitable for anyone who wants to discuss something technical or basicly, but beginners should be better off getting to know the basics than going straight to the technicalities. Educational background might affect his interest in learning, but I'm really bad at technical things.

The forums already have a lot of discussion on each board regarding the topic you want so it is highly recommended for beginners to use the search feature to find topics about basic technicalities that they want to learn, and there is no need to rush to open new threads unless the topic has not been discussed before. So I suggest every newbie don't be shy to ask because we will help to answer it or recommend a link thread explaining the technical basics to learn.

Actually YouTube is the most ideal to learn with the basic fundamentals of course because no one starts immediately without knowing the essential things to learn and also YouTube is the ideal for the problem solving face upon developing and more on technicalities well depends on the learner there are some easy to learn regarding with the readings and some of them into tutorials or videos. I don't have a recommended YouTube channel because more likely it depends on the learning I want to know.

I dont know but you are already on a sourcr that keep in touch with bitcoin. Even its technical review and discussion can be found here from scratch to perfection. But if you are lazy then just try Youtube or any site on Google explaining everythinf about it. But if you are that interested then start scrolling and searching topic by topic here. Keep reading and sooner youll find all relevant information you are looking for.

Blogs, books and videos are efficient for learning the tech aspect or difficult parts of Bitcoin. Reading and researching while creating threads to back up your knowledge, works well for anybody. It's difficult sometimes to forget threads you made yourself. The knowledge always sticks to the brain. Two hours everyday is enough to learn huge information on Bitcoin.

YouTube has been the common man's guide to learning everything new.
Remember nothing is actually free in this generation as either you're paying with your time or resources.
This also applies to acquiring new knowledge and YouTube over the years has bee a great tool for acquiring knowledge.
One on the other hand might be opportune to hire a private tutor or pay for mentorship which doesn't even teach anything different from what YouTube has to offer but the only difference is that you get someone you can talk to physically when confused and that is why a forum like this one exist and it's a great added advantage as people are always ready to share knowledge and also answer to your questions.

Investors in the currency circle are mostly subconscious investments, and few people can calm down and study. Many people think about learning, but they are all fake and deceive themselves. I have seen many people who failed in investment go to the rooftop to drink and smoke, and some even jumped directly. At that time, you may be able to think of improving your cognition and not make some irrational judgments.

One mistake forum users do when people demand for where to start learning about BTC is providing random links to Bitcoin documentations. FIrst thing is note what the fellow who wants to know about Bitcoin wishes to learn, what kind of knowledge about Bitcoin they seek because they can't know it all as the Bitcoin world is broad and large. Op will do well by stating what kind of information about Bitcoin he/she seeks.

YouTube is convenient in that you can visually see how to do the actions you need, it's really very convenient. But its disadvantage is that if you need to ask an additional question on any point, then the comments on YouTube are a very bad tool for this. The author does not always respond to comments, and the viewers are not always competent, and in any case, the video is mainly aimed at gaining views.

Providing such link too can help the op to finding his way from the link if he read carefully the answer he is seeking for will be there in the link. Maybe the op didn't direct the question very well so someone can help to send the link. I don't think it is wrong sending of link where Op can find help to himself and reading other things then he is going to learn new things he did not ask for.

It's crucial to gain knowledge from others. There are many books available online that have diagrams that show illustrations of so technical aspects of bitcoin; I have a folder of bitcoin library on my laptop where I always seek out different information from various books. The forum is a library unto itself, so do your own research despite anything you read is significant. so op is actually a good one, we are all learning from books and from one another.

I'll say the crypto industry has gone more far than you might view it to be and one cannot get all he or she hopes to know from crypto by creating this single thread with hopes that, a lot of directives might come through here. You might want to go for specifics and get specific responses that would apply to that situation. Other than that, you can try giving eyes and ears to crypto related stuffs in your locality.
More stuff would continue to come up as the field remains in development still but even more so, we all would continue acquiring the more knowledge we can. Good thing your already here in the forum at OP, make good use of your time.

ok. thank you all. and in case any moderator sees it, delete this mf post as it's wasting time here in my opinion.

Well I think all you need to know this forum has all..the only problem is going to be from you ,that is if you willing to go through and carefully read articles of legendary and hero members heard in the forum not to exclude other members because knowledge is verse and I think we can only trace good wisdom with experience and like they say experience is the best teacher...

So just take your time and surf the forum and you would see that all knowledge about bitcoin is available here

I personally understand that a tutorial on youtube needs to be practiced directly, if only watching until the end it will be difficult to digest. But it's different when reading with text, everything I read is easy to understand because my imagination about the things described is clearly illustrated in my brain. Everyone has a different way of capturing and understanding things. there are several methods that can be done especially with videos.
and for a complete collection of information, this forum is the most complete place for blockchain and cryptocurrency knowledge, but it takes effort to find some suitable threads and read carefully to understand them.

You can become a good bitcoiners in this forum if you are willing to follow the rules and regulations that guided crypto users to achieve what you want in the society. Read some crypto books and watch some crypto videos on YouTube, Facebook and Tweeter will enable you to know how to Carry out your personal research to get what you want at the moment, it will really make you to understand crypto very well and how to use it positively in the community.

The idea of you is to developed and believed on your self fast as a fast learner, because having the courage to follow YouTube online to learn or to upgrade in any area of challenges ais a personal decision, while some people paid to teach them how to make used of the Application/sites.

If you're prepared to read and absorb the helpful information that other forum members will share with you, you're at the proper place to find the majority of the solutions and information you're looking for. I'm unable to suggest any YouTube videos for you to view and learn from because the Internet is rife with bogus and incomplete content. You should visit the beginners and help board because there are many threads there that have been created to help new users and provide answers to their questions. By visiting this board, you will find all the answers to your questions and, after reading, comprehending, and doing your own research on the information provided, your knowledge will grow as well.

You will definitely learn a lot from YouTube but I don't really believe must of the informations from YouTube must expecially when it comes to trading, must of the videos created on YouTube, they are always over hyping trading, they always brainwash newbies by showing them only the trades which they make money, so they always make people watching their videos believe you will always make profit from cryptocurrency, they don't talk about their lost, which make newbies think immediately they start trading they will definitely be making money, and whenever they lose, they always end up getting disappointed and discouraged.
