How about adding this to the list of recommended list?  [AUGUST UPD.] Beginners & Help Encyclopedia  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5364418.0) If you are a reader and if you are here to learn, I believe you will take a little peek at the forum rules, both official and unofficial, as it will be helpful to your journey here.

Reading through, you should never joke with the part of the forum rules that talks about stealing other people's work, either for research purposes, information passing to others, etc. Always make sure you present information that belongs to you as yours and anyone that belongs to another as there. Do not try to outsmart anyone here.
 
Just be free and read through the forum. You will learn a lot from here, as much as you want, and I believe others can also learn from your knowledge. Good luck and I hope to see you around.

From the quote above he made mention of starting his crypto journey today which means he is a newbie and obviously he would need all your recommendations to kickstart his crypto journey.

We have seen a lot of newbie accounts come to forum and make a post like this and claim they are so interested in bitcoin and want to learn about it but in the end they are all empty claims and after a while we stop seeing them around so OP i hope your case would be different. Before embarking on your journey you should familiarize yourself with the rules of the forum and how things are done here if you’re interested in growing here in the forum but if you’re not you can always come to the forums and acquire the bitcoin knowledge you seek as an invisible member who never contributes to the forum.

I see some members already provided some useful links already. Make sure you go through them all it will help you both inside and outside of the forum. I hope to see you grow in knowledge soon.

In my opinion,  if you really want to learn, just go straight to this book

https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook
Mastering Bitcoin 2nd Edition - Programming the Open Blockchain

This is the best bitcoin book around. Antonopoulos is an amazing writer and speaker. You can also take a look at his YouTube channel

Interesting. You are in the right community with many resources. How fast you learn is dependent on you. If your intention is to learn more about bitcoin you would need to read wide more than the knowledge shared on this platform. I want to caution you that your aim here shouldn't be to accumulate merits, neither should it be to create topics every other day advising newbies and other ranking members.

The knowledge of bitcoin doesn't stop here. In fact if you use this forum correctly, you will not only accumulate bitcoins but you will become a very reputable member here.

PS: The poll is not necessary.

I liked "Mastering Bitcoin" so much that I ordered it in physical copy. It's an incredible book. Good recommendations guys.

To the OP, I need to give a more general advice since all the posts above are more specific. Bitcoin is a complex subject, as it combines Mathematics, Cryptography, Finance, Computer Science etc. Therefore, you need to remember 2 things:
1. baby steps. Learn little by little and avoid sprinting. Just find a pace that suits you and try to learn in-depth.
2. beware of bad advices. In general, if something looks suspicious to you, make sure to avoid it, or ask here. Never share ANY info if you are not sure. If you are anxious about something, take deep breaths and ask here.

good start that you shared your journey here mate because we need more supporters from outside the forum and people like you.

try to extend your patience and trust.

you are just knew , but you are hating those people who compares gambling to bitcoin ? wqhen you invest in something like waiting , there is a small part of gamble so try to learn it first and not just jumping to your conclusion as newbie.

Gambling cannot be compared to Bitcoin not now not in the future. Yes most people use the nature of gambling to follow Bitcoin when doing some investment but if you could find out from them and ask them how it all went then you would learn from their mistake if your wise.

Bitcoin is just a currency adopted by gambling platforms – but the gambling industry does not completely need bitcoin for its business to thrive. The anonymity of crypto use is the reason why gamblers tend to use crypto including bitcoin to gamble - but bitcoin is not part of gambling. Its status as a currency is equivalent to fiat for gambling platforms - but the gambling industry is certainly capitalizing on this trend.

BTW - Welcome in forum.
I hope you have a pleasant trip and of course you are always expected to be able to gather a lot of knowledge here.

Welcome to the forum Hopefully you can learn a lot in this forum. There are many boards available, you can choose and learn what you find interesting. One of the most important things in forums is not to plagiarize. We really appreciate manually typed original ideas, even if you have something good elsewhere, you are still not allowed to copy and paste it here.

There are many people out there who see Bitcoin as something negative or sometimes associated with gambling. But you know that bitcoin is not like that, there is no need to debate the issue, just ignore the people who badmouth bitcoin because actually they don't know anything.

OP, I want to warn you that creating a third account and regularly whining about the dangers of gambling will not give you anything positive. At the moment, your first two accounts, which create similar topics, are apparently blocked, but you stubbornly write the same thing. I ask the community to be more attentive to such posters and not respond to them, since the OP is apparently out of her mind. Bitterness over the use of gambling haunts him.

Welcome to the Bitcoin space, you can equally read Jameson Lopp Bitcoin Resources (https://www.lopp.net/bitcoin-information.html)when you have time. 

Gambling and Bitcoin investment are two different things; only someone who doesn't have concrete knowledge about Bitcoin would say Bitcoin is gambling. There are people who invest in Bitcoin and hold their coin for a long time before they sell and make a profit, while some people too are only trading Bitcoin for the sake of making a short-term profit, and it is more risky to trade Bitcoin than just holding it. Any trader who doesn't properly learn how to trade will likely encounter more loss in their trade than profit, and that would equally make some people see trading as gambling.

You are welcome.
Since other people have already provided some links for you to use to operate in the forum, make sure you go through them and you will learn; however, some of the links will only give you where to start and the rules and regulations governing us here, so I will advise you that before starting anything, you should go through those links that have been provided for you so that you know what to do and what to avoid while you are in the forum.

NOTE Don’t plagiarise, mate. It’s one of the big offences newcomers end up making on the forum and getting their accounts permanently banned, so I will advise you to stay away from such things, and the only thing you can do to avoid being a victim of such an offence is to read the rules, learn, and ask questions about anything you don’t understand. People will help you out.

You can use this (http://Learnmeabitcoin.com)

So how's your start? With all of the information and tips given to you by everybody, how are they? If you're just starting out, what I can tip to you is to become active from the forum. You'll read different topics on a daily basis but to make that happen, you need to be active on a daily basis.
Also, please do consider what lovemayfamilis has said to you. Because if you keep on doing that, you'll always be reported to the mods and that's one thing for your journey to remember so that you can keep moving forward.

Your name sounds good, @BitcoinkillerTok. You indicated in your statement that you are just beginning your trip. I wish you the best of luck on your adventure. I'm always delighted to find a newbie like me on this fantastic forum. I don't have much to say, but the little I have is that you should concentrate on what brought you here, and if you do so, you won't have any troubles here.. This forum is a very large site, so if you look through some pasted posts, you can gain some knowledge there, and we also have discussion boards to visit to expand your knowledge.

Furthermore, try as much as possible and conduct additional research. You will comprehend how Bitcoin functions. You can see that many of the participants have provided you with a range of links. Read them slowly and thoroughly. Everything will flow quite naturally after that.

With what I just saw on lovemayfamilies take on the  account it feels as if the account isn't actually a particular genuine new one as it's show it's part of the obsession of a previous alt account that is insistent on post all sort of shitpost about gambling and have been banned before. But notwithstanding these things are hard to clear out so maybe that's why most members are actually treating you as a newbie here.

Good to have you here OP. You made a good decision to have been here. This platform is particularly made up of bitcoin enthusiasts all over the world. This would give you the privilege of meeting with lots of high-tech personalities in Bitcoin as a whole. I know you would like them and learn from them as well but before anything, I would advise you to learn the basic fundamentals of bitcoin and how the bitcoin ecosystem functions so you get a better and bigger picture of what you are into. Already I have seen lots of posts with informative links that would help you scale through your stay here. I trust you will enjoy your stay here.

Additional to this, bitcoin is very important to learn and understand, in doing so you're not gambling but giving the sacrifice it demands to learn it and understand how the network protocols works, this makes bitcoin serves as a currency and also an investment asset because you cannot completely loose on it, gambling is something entirely different from these, when you gemble you're after fun and make use of your money to achieve such wether you ein or not.

I hope the OP would really pay close attention to these salient points that you have brought out. If he is able to abide by them then, he or she would have no problem whatsoever successfully navigating and becoming a core member of the community. However, he or she stands the risks of being kicked out if they do other wise.

I think plagiarism is one of the worse offenses that can be committed on this forum. A visit to the Reputation board would give him or her how unpardonable it is.

If they didn't notice but you told them why don't they listen to what you're saying. Newbie doesn't write like the OP. I don't know which ones he's operating but it's obvious he isn't new. When reading your post it's sure he's got more accounts. Why haven't you tagged the accounts you're connecting?
