Bitcoin Forum

I'm new to the forum and so far I'm beginning to understand the structure of the forum but my challenge is that I don't really have enough knowledge on crypto prior to now.

I have done a bit of research on YouTube but the information their is a bit confusing as it's more theoretical and I doubt the once I have seen is updated lately.

I really want to learn the basics in cryptocurrency and would need guidance from expert from this forum.

What I need particular is a verified YouTube channel I can get an updated crash course crypto, books, website and any material or post on this forum that can give me proper guidance as a newbie.

If you want to learn everything about cryptocurrency then you can just use this Beginners & Help Encyclopedia (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5364418.0) by Ratimov.

There is no such YouTube channel available and if someone says so most likely they will ask you to join their paid subscription to continue for that they mostly will give a crap which you can learn on your own if you spend a little more time on your own in this forum.

There is a dedicated board for  Trading Discussion  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=8.0) in this forum where you can ask and learn anything about crypto trading.

You can use the search bar of the forum to look for the question you have in mind since there’s a high chance that it’s already answered or asked in the past. You can browse to the board that interest you then use the search function. No one can give you a 1 on 1 lesson here about crypto since it's very wide topic.

You can use this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5364418.0 prepared by Ratimov to have an overview on crypto. It's a guide to learn basic of crypto.

@jrrsparkles beat me few minutes on sharing the link. That thread of Ratimov is really helpful especially for newbie. I always use it when I have friend that wants to learn crypto in general.

One option that has really helped me is the ability to use “search engine” properly, not all newbies know how to use the search button here I. The forum and also google’s search engine that’s why they still have some certain issues or are unable to find some answers that’s somewhere buried inside an old thread. So do well to learn how to use keywords to search it will reduce the probability of you getting to scroll through threads that are not relevant to your problem.

Another link I want to share with you is; https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook#chapters it will get you started in learning the technical aspects of bitcoin . One last thing make sure you share your idea or what you understand about a concept and if it turns out that you’re wrong you’ll be corrected by those that have experienced in it rather than just bottle it up inside your kind… the more you share your ideas the better you become in that thing so do well to share your ideas when you have the chance.

Let me welcome you to bitcointalk, this is a community where learning is the major priority for every members interested to learn and grow, but first you will need to learn about how the forum operates, which comes in with learning learning the rules and regulations, then you can proceed to learning about bitcoin in cryptocurrency, this should be the required starting point for you and i will advise that you don't try any altcoin being a newbie, i will provide you with some useful links you can learn from below.

Do you think a verified YouTube Chanel is enough for you?
And did you think it can give you the right information you need without any doubt?
For me, this forum alone is enough for you to get all the information and the basic knowledge you need, as other users have provided you with some links that will help you to go through various topics that is well explained to your understanding.

Furthermore, this forum users do always recommend this website (http://learnmeabitcoin.com) for easy understanding of Bitcoin and how it works.

You cannot learn everything all at once, so maybe you need to calm down and take things step by step, you are already in this forum and you can learn practically everything here, all by readiing, using the search button and asking questions. There are quite a lot of complicated aspects about Bitcoin that will probably take you time to learn, so you must be patient and start with the basics, which is less complicated and easy to understand.

Since you are looking for videos to watch, here is a good one you can try:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPQwGV1aLnTuN6kdNWlElfr2tzigB9Nnj

It can be challenging so, if you want an analyst and crypto journalist to learn about the market simply you need a mentor, I would prefer to pick one by yourself also I'm not familiar with your locality or anyone who is providing you any sorf of references you better take a close look and make a decision which ones suits you better.

But as far as I know, most of the seniors are not gonna provide any YouTuber references because even though it can be a good source of information most likely some time due to paid content the recommendation can be misguiding, even if its purely your own responsibility. I have seen a lot of people following the crypto influencers blindly and eventually losing their precious assets.


Hmm, I would say a good approach will be to read and participate in the discussion you can obtain some great insights from the other user's experiences, Listening, Watching, and staying connected can be more efficient as tutorials really work great sometimes and reading can be more effective occasionally. So all you need is to search for good topics here. Even while asking questions seniors can quote the references.

Here is [AUGUST UPD.]Beginners & Help Encyclopedia (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5364418.0) a thread that can potentially help you to find the good topics, just choose your category and search for the topic you are looking for, most likely you'll find all them, the list is regularly updated by the author.

Ratimov created this list for the newbies to easily search for what they are looking.

You can visit the following thread for a crash course which also consists of the videos of the course. That will help you a lot.
Bitcoin Education for Beginners: The Sovereign University  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5467597.msg62880540#msg62880540) If you don't want to learn from the above-mentioned website then you should consider the following threads to look for.

[AUGUST UPD.] Beginners & Help Encyclopedia (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5364418.0)
Ratimov's Forum Guides, Tutorials & Lists (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5277049.0)

If you still think, you need more resources, then you should consider the following thread,

First, welcome Hewlet!
Don't rush and provided the links given to you by our co-forum folks. Always check the pinned post for every section where you're reading threads like on this section, the Beginners & Help. You'll get to see specific topics that are on the pinned post and start reading there.
And based on your history, you've already posted on your local. I think it's better for you to converse there and interact with your other local members because it's going to be easier for you to understand the topics that you're interested with your locals since your local board is one of the most active. But that doesn't mean that you're limited to ask questions or topics that you're interested with, you can explore the different sections/boards. Just make sure that you're following forum rules upon posting or making threads.

For learning purposes, one can still trust some YouTube channels as they have a lot of information about things that one can tap from their shared knowledge. Learning from them, you can also do your own research and add to that knowledge or run some comparisons, which can also help in the easy understanding and expansion of your learning life.
 
But when it comes to wallet security and investment, you should be mindful of the kind of channel you follow up with and the kind of information you get from them and practice, as they can be misleading and some can also not be information from the real channel owners. YouTube's account of influencers is being hacked on a daily basis and used for some sort of malicious activity, which they can either try to mislead the users followers to their phishing link or any of such.
 
This forum is rated as one of the best sources to get information from, as it forms from experienced people talking based on what they know, and when they detect scams, they always bring them to the public's attention in order to warn people out of them.

You don't need the knowledge to post here, instead, you will get knowledge while you engage in the discussions. Once you will start to take part in the topics, you will learn more, and once you will learn something from one thread and then move on to another then you will see that you can use the same knowledge in that topic too. Cryptocurrency is connected with each other. If you will learn about blockchain then you can talk about centralization, decentralization, wallets, and anonymity.
I prefer you to watch videos later, but first start to learn about them via articles. Otherwise, it depends on your own method of learning something.

You should go through the above links that other members have provided. Other than that, you should make up your mind, about what you really expect from this forum. Once you have the objective in your mind, then you will achieve it at last.

I can notice that today marks one month since you got registered on this forum @ 21st August, 2023, and as such it's normal for every newbie to be confuse about the forum and Bitcoin entirely, but that doesn't mean with the right approach you can't achieve the success we did when we started on this forum long time ago. So on that note, I will sharing some useful link both about the forum and crypto basic knowledge in general for you to read, and I wish you the best as you endeavor not to give up on this forum, because this stage is always the hardest for most people.

It's a little bit ironic that you're claiming to have not enough prior knowledge on crypto and are asking for guidance when your very first post is a letter to Bitcoin wanting the price to reach $100,000 soon.

In your second post, you once again opened a thread. This time, you wanted to discuss about the lessons from the previous bull markets. And you even seemed to have provided some tips.

Your third post is again a topic you wanted to discuss. It's like a lecture on Bitcoin and its misunderstanding.

I wonder how you ended up opening another topic this time, wanting to learn the basics in crypto. You seem to be one of those suspicious newbie accounts.

Theory without a combination of practice will not work perfectly, it doesn't matter if you look for Cryptocurrency information on YouTube or other social media, it will increase your insight into Cryptocurrency in theory. Here you can be directly involved in discussions with people who have mastered most of the knowledge about Cryptocurrency. The seniors will help you direct you to the things you need to learn which will enable you to master established knowledge.
Bitcointalk forum members will always welcome newcomers who want to learn Cryptocurrency, never be embarrassed by them, if you have anything you need to ask, then ask immediately, they will answer your questions and direct you to the things you need.

Youtube and the forum as well will provide you with theoretical knowledge of crypto. Its your own wish to either chose to practice or not. Having theoretical knowledge is the first stage of learning after all because without the theoretical knowledge you wouldn't know where to start the practical from. You just have to focus and concentrate on the theory aspect before you think of anything practical. While you're eager to learn about bitcoin, I would advise you to keep calm so you will not fall victim of those that claim to offer crypto class training on social medias with some money. YouTube channel is not completely free from these scammers likewise the forum.

The good thing is that you're here and I assure you that you're in the right place to have this knowledge you are craving for. A lot of thread and link to some reliable sites have been recommended for you in the comments section, you should follow up with them and I believe you will learn something out of it.

I haven't given the OP neutral feedback yet, but all of his posts seem very similar to using AI tools. I am also surprised by his claim that he knows nothing when we can see his early posts. OP, you have already put forward all your topics for merit; is it possible to find out that there are two people on your account, one of whom writes literate posts and the other pretends to be a newbie?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5456516.msg62879723#msg62879723

How similar? when I check the OP's post to any Ai checker the result is human written not generated to AI.
Do you have any tools that we can use to know if its AI generated text? maybe I can use the tool in the future once I found someones 100% human written post to check if its actually human written or not.

a friend introduced me to the forum and because I was yet to understand how to create an a account, he helped with the account creation process. I don't know if he has made a post before handing the account to me but if you go through my post, you will notice that it was more of trying to figure things out and becoming familiar with the whole structure of the forum

I have never used AI for any post, I try to be as neutral as possible and although I wouldn't deny the fact that I would want to be merited for making a post, my main motive had been to learn as much as I can.

You won't get a complete understanding of cryptocurrency from YouTube, you need to explore the subject outside the YouTube platform to get a complete understanding. You are currently connected to bitcointalk forum this forum is very important for you because you can gain a lot of knowledge about crypto currency from this forum. A new member has to put in a lot of effort, a lot of hard work as well as trying to learn about cryptocurrency. When a new member has a lot of interest in learning, that new member will learn a lot. Work again with as much as you can learn about a new subject. And try to remember the things you know. Try to learn about different subjects gradually because you cannot know all subjects at once. Moving forward with specific plans, I hope that difficult things will become easy for you very soon.

Their is something important to learn and understand in the forum as a Newbie, basically some people who come to bitcointalk majority doesn't know about Bitcoin and with observation and precautions they have obtained the knowledge of bitcoin, one thing in this forum is that you most be curious and also be observant so that you can speed up in learning and understanding the rudiments of bitcoin in this forum, the technology of bitcoin is something you can learn through a research.

But what I will advice you to do as a Newbie is that you should try to be reading almost a the post that is pinned by moderators across other boards especially in bitcoin discussion board and technical board, so I believe in bitcoin discussion is where you learn most of things concerning bitcoin and it's wallets and technical board will elaborate more on wallets in which is it's good and advisable to ensure you have comprehend the knowledge of bitcoin very well.

You're welcome to the club. That was same with me in 2017 when I stumbled on this forum. I knew next to nothing about cryptos but the story is different today. Though I can't say I'm very much conversant with the technicals, I know more than a bit to keep me safe in this space. You can do better than I'm already doing with time. However, the whole thing depends on you, not on any random guy here. Roll up your sleeves and get to work. Research is your best bet to growing fast in this industry.

Yes, I agree with you that YouTube can be confusing to source learning materials from because of the numerous materials there. You're likely not going to know where to search or who to follow there at once. For me, I don't just hop on YouTube to watch people teach. I follow these people from other social media sites (especially, Facebook) to their YouTube channels. First, I monitor whatever stuff they're trying to put out there. If they're good at it and have a YouTube channel I connect with them. That way, I know what I'm looking for and how to get them.

You should check the thread that they provided because that will help you to learn more about cryptocurrency and other crypto related information that you may not have know yet. The thread by Ratimov which is Beginners & Help Encyclopedia contains different topics that are suited for newbies to learn and also guides. Well, are you familiar with the forum rules already? If yes, then you don't have to worry about getting banned as long as you follow the forum rules. Continue doing your own research if you find something difficult to understand or learn.

First of all, we welcome you to be a part of this forum, and let us tell you that you asked me that I don't know about cryptocurrency, so, my dear, everyone is in the same situation here. Everyone is a newbie, but later he gets some understanding and knowledge. In order to reach this point, take care of some important things. As advice, I hope the members will be aware of the rules. I will not say anything special here. So you should first read the forum rules and not work against them; work with consistency. Keep yourself informed by visiting every new thread. And. You will find mainstream knowledge in the Bitcoin section. If you work hard, you will be rewarded.

It is true that knowledge of YouTube is not enough, and there is no truth in it. While this forum confuses you with full verified knowledge, everyone on YouTube knows that people only share knowledge of their own choice without any verification, whereas here on this forum, every post is verified by a member and checked. If you are clearly criticizing the falsehood, then stay connected to this forum and enrich yourself with knowledge.

You can watch videos about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency on YouTube, but they will only teach you about the basics, most of them won't really dive into it, and if you are trying to learn trading, then I don't really think YouTube is the appropriate place to go because most of them are just going to mislead you. Most of those people on YouTube are just looking for views and subscribers, they will only do things to attract people's attention. If you notice most of those videos, they will only show when they are making a profit in a trade, which will make newbies think crypto trading is really easy, and whenever they lose, they will never show videos like that, which is really misleading to newbies because they will always have the mindset that they can never lose when trading, but when they start trading and they start losing, they will get frustrated.

If you easily want to learn about bitcoin and cryptocurrency, then you can easily learn that here on forum because you are going to get the real information here, no one is going to deceive you here, and you won't be asked to pay for any information that you will be getting. Just be ready to read, ask questions about things you don't understand, and I am sure you are going to learn here.

First of all, welcome to the bitcointalk forum, mate.

I don’t know what kind of method you use when you want to learn something quickly. Maybe it's the video, or you prefer theory. I could’ve advised you to leave YouTube videos for now, as you're still new in the crypto space. And the fact that you are already in a safer community means that you can learn everything you want to know about cryptocurrency here. The only thing you need to do is don’t rush learning; learning is a gradual process, and if you calm down, you will get the knowledge you want on the forum. If you don’t understand anything, ask questions. The forum members are always here to help newcomers. YouTube videos won’t help you as much as you wanted because they won’t go deep enough that you will understand them well.

you can also use this learnmeabitcoin (https://learnmeabitcoin.com/)

You have made the right decision by choosing to join this forum. If you don't know much about bitcoin, I believe that you will learn it here. YouTube won't teach you more about cryptocurrencies, but if you join this forum, I believe that you will find the answers to all of your questions and be led in the right direction. because many newbies will simply enter the forum and begin asking questions without conducting any research or making any effort to learn. I can therefore state that by joining here to learn more about cryptocurrency, you have made the proper decision. You will definitely get what you deserve in this forum.

Since no one is perfect, we must learn from people who are more knowledgeable than we are. This forum is the ideal place to learn a lot about bitcoin. If you keep doing your best to study on this topic, you will eventually learn. Don't be afraid to ask questions about anything you don't understand.

If you want to get knowledge about cryptocurrency especially here in the forum, then you need to start asking specific questions about what you intend to know. The forum is like an open Market where you can get any crypto information you want. However you need to take out time to read some of the link been shared  by some of the members little by little and  your knowledge and  understanding about crypto Will be broadened.
No doubt YouTube can give you some videos about cryptocurrency but here on the forum you will meet people with real life experience about crypto and they can advise you on what not to do. Try to also make you follow the forum rules by ensuring that you read them and memories it within yourself.

Well, I'm glad you found your way to the forum but if you are curious to know about Bitcoin, I think it should have been one of your first topics to be created as most newbies usually do. Anyways,  you could learn more about Bitcoin on Learnmeabitcoin (https://www.google.com/url?q=https://learnmeabitcoin.com/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwiXzrK_zsuBAxXGXUEAHWMUBsUQFnoECAIQAg&usg=AOvVaw0BKqtrDXSPj7jotVI9i6x3).

Everything you wish and want to learn about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency could be gotten on the forum and I want to say that, you're welcome and I hope that you spend more time in reading than wanting to create threads since you're here to learn.
I also want to let you know that the forum has several rules which aren't really complicated but simply you shouldn't plagiarize and Incase you must have to get some contents from the internet or already written article, then you should always do your best to provide a reference link to the original owner of the work.
Always feel free to associate in the forum and better see it as more of a community rather than any difficult place and always try to make more quality posts.

there is actually a thread made by fillippone about 5 Resources to teach Average Joe about Bitcoin - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5156874.0 you can start from there in fact the thread has been translated to other languages to and keep updated if there something useful in it.

Tho there is youtube channel that I know https://www.youtube.com/c/whiteboardcrypto he basically teach about crypto world using animation so it will easy to understand. Second https://academy.binance.com/en/learn-and-earn Binance also has learn to earn program so you can check it out.

You can only see and understand the descriptions explained in the videos you watch on YouTube, but you cannot ask questions directly about points where it is difficult for you to understand the explanation. Luckily you are on this forum, apart from being able to learn about Cryptocurrency you can also ask directly about something you have never understood before.

Guidance from seniors can help your development, keep trying to increase your knowledge by allocating time to visit forum when you are not busy with other work. Here you can get everything you need, use the search button provided to make it easier for you to search by entering the keywords you want.

Understanding the rules or structure in this BTT forum, in my opinion, is a very good first step. Because by understanding the structure of this forum, in the future it will definitely be easier for you to find posts that contain the information or knowledge you need, especially regarding crypto issues. So it's not a big problem if currently your knowledge about the world of crypto is still minimal or minimal. Because by joining this forum it means that you already have the intention to learn and increase your knowledge about cryptocurrency. Apart from that, to be able to join and discuss in this forum, it doesn't matter if your knowledge about cryptocurrency is still very little. Because sooner or later your knowledge about cryptocurrencies will definitely increase.

If you feel confused, learn about cryptocurrency by watching videos on YouTube. Maybe you still can't focus when watching the video. Because in my personal opinion, even watching videos on YouTube, if you listen to them seriously, can really increase your knowledge about cryptocurrency very significantly.

However, if you really have difficulty understanding the lesson from a video, it would be better for you to try other methods such as reading on this website or forum. Because as far as I know, everyone has different comfort regarding their learning methods. So just try it, seriously contribute and seek knowledge about crypto on this forum.

Welcome our new member.

One thing is in sure: You won't regret joining this forum, The first step in your quest is to educate yourself by learning the foundations of blockchain technology and how it works. The center of learning is visible here. If you truly want to learn, you will cover everything here, however this forum has rules and guidelines that you must follow to avoid getting lost. Do more research to learn about and comprehend the structure of this forum.

Why not - they can ask in the comments column what they need to ask, but of course sometimes content creators can't answer all their audience's questions. Other knowledgeable people may try to provide explanations - but youtube is not the only means to learn about bitcoin.

I agree the bitcointalk forum is one of the best tools to learn and discuss something you want to learn - even technical questions. You may need to develop your own independence instead of relying solely on others - this includes reading more or doing something like practice to get better knowledge.

Good knowledge references for learning are here: https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook#chapters

There are reliable videos in YouTube but we must think that not all video are legitimate which means we must know there are many fake news on YouTube and also there are some influencer that teaches fake and scam in Bitcoin so we need Tobe careful at all times.
Here in this forum are the best way to learn about Bitcoin and other related cryptocurrency cause here we can ask anything we don't understand in specific topic and surely we can get an accurate answer .

If you really want to learn about Bitcoin then this is the best place for you to learn about it but if you want to learn about all crypto-currencies then you'll have to do your own research by reading books or doing online searches on Google about the crypto-currency that you're interested in and you want to learn about it.

There are many YouTubers that share their insights about different crypto-currencies but you'll have to find those yourself because someone else's advice can be wrong and you may lose a lot of money by investing in a useless coin that will go zero in value.

I recommend you to forget about other crypto-currencies and learn about Bitcoin instead because Bitcoin is the only crypto-currency that won't disappoint you. You can learn everything about Bitcoin by visiting Bitcoin discussion and other boards related to Bitcoin on this forum.

If you want to learn about Bitcoin in detail then you can create your own thread and ask about that thing from the users of the forum. If you're someone who wants to learn via books then simply go with a Google search "Best books to learn about Bitcoin," and you'll have all those books that can help you to learn about Bitcoin.

First of all congratulations on joining the forum. If you wanted to learn about crypto, you came to the right place OP. The first suggestion I would give, check the links other users already gave. You can cover most of the basics by them. Then try to read all the pinned post. In every board like (bitcon discussion, bitcoin technical, meta, Beginner), you'll see post pinned posts right on the top. Read them all, you'll get the basic idea of how everything works. For me, I used to read posts, read comment, observe what others are doing. I still do this. Even though, I'm reading for hours it's still not enough. If you want to learn only about crypto, then bitcoin section is perfect for you.

Before doing anything, literally anything, you should consider reading all forum rules, so that you don't violate anything.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0

If you have a lot of time, read this book. One of my favourite.
https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook/

In fact, Bitcoin is considered the most reliable and secure in the entire crypto currency market. Newbies should always learn about Bitcoin first, because Bitcoin is dominating the entire crypto currency market. Their fluctuations lead to the volatility of all crypto currencies. So people who understand Bitcoin well can easily earn profit in other coins as well. Investing in Bitcoin is good but we cannot ignore other good and strong project based coins in the market.

It cannot be denied that people have made huge profits in altcoins as well. You can take the example of the last bull season, where coins like Solana, Matic Dot, BNB, Gala, Sand, Mana have given people huge profits. Investing in Ethereum, which is the second top currency after Bitcoin, has also seen people earn fantastic returns. So I think it would be unfair to forget other crypto currencies. Therefore, newbies must take interest in other coins in the market.

As a new member in the forum I will encourage you to do more of learning that running after bounty. Learn will give you more stand in the forum.

hi OP, I hope you are healthy there, you are from Nigeria, there are quite a lot of active senior members there and I noticed that the local board from Nigeria is quite active in discussing everything related to cryptocurrencies, bitcoin and blockchain technology, you can search read about everything related to cryptocurrencies there (it's much easier to understand things when you're active on your local boards).

OP isn't being active on this thread (though he is active overall in bitcointalk), and has not responded to any of the advice being given to him. Hence we can't know which of the advice he thinks is good for him to get the knowledge about bitcoins.

I too agree that the local boards are the best place to start your learning journey as you can interact with like minded people and that too in your own mother language.

Yes, Bitcoin is, it was, and it will remain the most reliable and trusted crypto=currency in the whole crypto-market. In fact I believe that the whole market exists because of Bitcoin only. I always recommend newbies to learn about Bitcoin because it's the only crypto-currency that won't disappoint them.

Although, I won't deny the fact that many of the altcoins gave huge profits to the investors in previous bull run, but so many investors have lost a lot of money due to some altcoins like Terra Luna, TerraUSD, and FTT token. The investors who invest in altcoins are always at risk of loosing everything, and if someone really don't want to lose money then the only safest and most trust-worthy option is Bitcoin.

OP I see the response here and the are all encouraging. I think the solution and links provided for you here can help you scale through successfully your journey into Bitcoin. I think thir lists of educational links which was provided by other members can help and guide you to learn more about crypto currency as well. I will advise you to make time to go through them one after the other as a newbie. Irrespective of how time consuming they might be, you should be able to study them to the end so that you do not make any mistake while on course. What ever your questions are, you can still ask them here so that your doubts would be clarified to your understanding.

It’s good that you feel this way and have the zeal to up your knowledge on the cryptocurrency innovation and what goes on within its space. It’s been a little over a decade but, there have been a lot going on in the space and one can’t full grasp it all at a go but only follow up the happenings and acquire knowledge on it in bits.

One of the most important thing that would aid you in this journey of trying to know as far as understanding goes is having to know its terminologies.
When you get into any field, I think it’s the first thing that could aid your understanding. You need to learn the terms as it’s randomly and frequently used in the cryptospace so that, you’re not left hanging or without understating in your quest to know by virtue of a term.

Don’t try or think you can know it all in a day as, you would end up getting yourself confused the more but do the bits you can for a day and ensure you understand before skipping to the next.

Yes, you are correct. Not everything you learn about cryptocurrencies at first will match your expectations. Many new members of the forum may spend more than a month asking questions without receiving answers, but as they remain patient and continue to learn more, they gradually gain a better understanding. Learning about bitcoin is not as easy as you might think, and if you rush through it, you risk becoming overly greedy with anything related to cryptocurrencies, giving the impression that you are knowledgeable enough to invest and, as a result, becoming a victim of fraud. This is true of everything in life; you must remain calm and take each topic one at a time until you fully understand it.

I'm not saying this just to support him, but based on what he said, you should understand that learning more about cryptocurrencies is important before investing in them. If you don't know much about bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies and you want to invest, you are putting yourself in serious danger, and many people are online these days just to lure newbies who don't know much about crypto currency to get scammed. So before becoming involved in any investments, I advise newbies to take a deep breath and study everything they can.

How you can in a simple and quick path inform yourself with the informations and knowledge about bitcoin after you might have read and understand the forum rules and regulations, is for you to take part in forum discussions, feel free to argue and express yourself constructively in threads of other members and their comments.

The more you  partake in the more you will learn as you get to read different comment opinions/informations from experience members regarding the topic of discuss.
The forum is more of a do it yourself community so information about bitcoin you get here you do your own research about it to be clarified, that's how we all learn here.

Actually, newbies who read other people's threads and DYOR have more knowledge and acquire knowledge in time when it comes to learning on this forum; however, they also get to know things deeply as they do research on everything they don’t understand. However, newbies also get to know things that will be helpful for them, and then that is when you will see newbies with meaningful threads that normally draw people's attention. However, this forum is actually more than you can do it yourself, as you said earlier. That's how someone really needs to ask questions so that other people will help with everything that they don’t understand, and that is how they will grow with the fundamental knowledge they are here for.
