Title: Beginning an adventure to learn about Bitcoin
Post by: Felicity_Tide on May 02, 2024, 03:42:58 PM
Good day, everyone.

Today, I decided to write a post about my new journey to learn about Bitcoin. Though I have been reading as many replies and threads as I could find, I believe I could do better by conducting further research and asking questions that might arise out of curiosity.

I made my introduction post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5494763.msg64011857#msg64011857 two days ago, where I clearly stated the need to have an additional source of income that ensures financial independence. Unsure of where to start, cryptocurrency investment was what I had in mind. Along the way, I also foresaw the need to learn everything about it as much as possible.

Surprisingly, I noticed that cryptocurrency is very broad, and Bitcoin happens to be at the center of it all, serving as the leading figure.

Apart from that, I seem to notice that the majority of those dealing with cryptocurrency are of a specific gender. I observed this when checking through X (formerly called Twitter), those who teach about crypto on YouTube, and even on this forum.

Please, pardon my questions as they might sound too odd. Asking questions is probably a way to learn fast.

Here are my questions -
  • As a newbie, should I focus solely on Bitcoin, or should I also acquire basic knowledge of altcoins?
  • Is Bitcoin gender specific ?(is it meant for a specific gender?)

My advice is to take one at a time. Focus on what you need most. First, start with their basic knowledge, and as time goes on, you can expand your knowledge by learning more about any other currency you want to learn about. Trying to learn everything at once might keep you in a very complex state.
 
Bitcoin is not gender-specific; anyone who wants to learn and acquire knowledge is free to do so. Both genders are doing really great, and Bitcoin even expands the idea to others, but not everyone presents themselves the way they are. People who you might think are of the other gender might end up being of the other gender.

Be it male or female, if your mind is open and made up to learn about bitcoin, you can learn and acquire the knowledge to whatever length you want; there is no gender limitation in it.

Newbie or expert in cryptocurrency, the preference is solely your choice. There are investors who specifically focus on altcoins while some solely focus on bitcoin and some investors focus on both. The best is to acquire knowledge on crypto entirely including altcoins too and also diversify when it comes to investing in them.

Bitcoin is not gender specific but for both genders. The reason why it seems gender bias is due to risk involved. Men take more risk compared to their women counterpart. By the way, you don't need to bother about this gender issue if you are truly ready for the knowledge.

Some accounts on social media are just after engagement and you should be careful using them as a learning platform. The gender behind some of these accounts are anonymous, same with this forum too. Your emphasis should be on the knowledge being shared and not the gender behind the scene.

• This is a Bitcoin forum, the common answer you'll get to this question is to focus solely on Bitcoin, cause that's what the majority here are doing.
I will advice you to explore 'wisely' before choosing what to focus on. When starting out, I got into altxoins, airdrops as well as Bitcoin. With time my interest in Bitcoin grew cause it had stability, decentralization and was the only crypto I could invest in for 10 years with the confidence that it will be running at that point. All of the altcoins I got into have all fizzled out today.

Do your research and make up your own mind. As a caveat, I did not invest in any altcoin, I gained them all passively. What you're looking to gain is knowledge, not profit, so don't risk your money in either Bitcoin or altcoins until you've fully understood the fundamentals.

• No, Bitcoin is not gender specific. A pseudoanonymous technology cannot possibly be gender specific.

    You're wrong about this assumption, you can't tell the difference in particular when it comes to gender base, but we all know that men are more involved into crypto or other kinds of business and investments than women's do participate, nevertheless, we cannot conclude on the fact that there is gender bias on this, it's a matter of choice for each individual to choose on what they want and go for it as well.

    • As a newbie, should I focus solely on Bitcoin, or should I also acquire basic knowledge of altcoins?

    Bitcoin first, then later, you may choose whether to include other cryptocurrencies or not, but know that they have more affinity for taking higher risk than in bitcoin, except you're experienced a d able to risk your investment, don't go for alts now or after.

    Since Bitcoin is a decentralized network without any authority controlling it, who is going to stop anyone (or a specific gender) from using it, nobody even has to know what your gender is before you use BTC, and i don't know where you have come about that idea.

    That being said, the drawback with altcoins is their lack of utility, thus they are quite risky for a newbie as they could end up buying coins that end up worthless. If you don't want to be a bagholder in your early days in the industry, then buy bitcoin, because it has an actual utility and would not end up like most altcoins do.

    Bitcoin as you have said already stay at the center of all cryptocurrency. It was the first and has remained king for years. As a newbie, you should be the one to decide for yourself which cryptocurrency you want to specialize on. But I'll advice you to go for Bitcoin as it contains less risk compared to others out there in the market. Bitcoin is quite easy to understand and invest if you take your time to research about it.

    For your second question, Bitcoin is not gender specific. Though we have more male investors compare to females but there has never been a time when Bitcoin have been specific to one gender. Anyone can invest in Bitcoin as long as they have enough knowledge about it. Like others have said, you have to take it slow, one at a time. Before you know it you are good to go.

    Just remember to be careful of anyone online claiming to help you make a fortune overnight through investment. It's all scam. Bitcoin doesn't work like way.

    As a newbie, it is considered important to limit the level of risk you take, and by that, you are advised to only invest in coins with the least risk, that is the minimal or no risk at all, and bitcoin is that asset that comes with very little to no risk at all in crypto investment, it is important to start with investing in bitcoin, while you take your time and learn about Altcoins.
    Like it or not, altcoins are still very important part of cryptocurrencies, so, the same way it is possible to profit from bitcoin investment, it is also very possible to profit greatly from investing in Altcoin as well, but this can only happen if you invest in the right altcoins, as many of them are Outright scam, and to know how to choose the right altcoin to invest in, you need time to learn more about them and their different utilities.

    Bitcoin is not gender specific, any body or gender can freely; without any form of limitation, invest in bitcoin, if you are male or female, girl of boy, feel free to buy as many bitcoins as your money can afford, but remember, only invest with an amount you can afford to lose.

      If you plan an immediate source of income, Bitcoin investment and holding it until the price doubles or increases in a certain percentage is not an answer since it will take some time to realize a good profit from Bitcoin investment.  You can try trading but it is somehow risky especially when a person is a beginner.

      If you have skills, you can try freelancing and get paid with Bitcoin.  If you plan to join a signature campaign in this forum, you need to develop your account until you are qualified for the rank needed by the campaign.  At least it can take two to three months before you be a full member and join the forum campaign.  

      But if you are looking for investment Bitcoin is the least risky among the cryptocurrency.

      I suggest that you also consider learning the curve of altcoins, cryptocurrency is not only about Bitcoin  but also altcoins.  It is also best to diversify as long as you do a proper research on the altcoin you are interested with, I think you will be fine and be able to avoid scam projects.

      It is always better to start learning from the beginning and Bitcoin is the genesis of cryptocurrencies. Learning more about Bitcoin will give you the foundational knowledge you need to understand altcoins. I will suggest you focus only on Bitcoin for now to avoid confusion. Learning about altcoins will be simple if you already have a background knowledge about Bitcoin.

      Bitcoin has no respect for gender, age, religion, nationality, or color. Anyone can have access to the coin because it is a decentralized currency. Anybody whether male or female can buy, hodl, and sell Bitcoin without any form of restrictions. I assume that the low number of women in the industry might be a result of lack of finance, sociocultural beliefs, lack of information, etc.

      As a newbie you shouldn’t learn about bitcoin alone, you have to have basic knowledge about cryptocurrency entirely, having knowledge about bitcoin alone is not enough. Some people do invest also in alt coins but most of their investments is always in bitcoin, and they will leave just little amount of money in Alt coin, so if you learn about alt coins  also it’s not also a bad idea.

      • Is Bitcoin gender specific ?(is it meant for a specific gender?)
      Bitcoin is meant for every gender, either you are a woman or a man, bitcoin is for you, no matter your age, your religion, gender, your nationality, bitcoin is for everyone. I have seen different women that are professional traders, so don’t even think bitcoin is for men alone.

      It's the most common thing for newbies when they start something new or something they want to try but it won't be a good idea if a newbie is rushing to learn although there's nothing wrong about a person interested in learning but if you rush in learning something then a newbie might miss something that can jeopardize his/her security for example and lose money. Even those people who already gain enough knowledge even lose money either losing the access to the wallet or got scammed by scammers through different ways they can think of.

      The journey into the crypto space is a vast and if you think you can actually cut your way through the knowledge then I think you will just find yourself crying at the end because just as cryptocurrency especially Bitcoin is filled with wonderful opportunity, it can also be very dangerous because it has the ability to make or and also break you so understanding the basic set is very important especially when you have the money. Bitcoin knowledge is something that you need to take your time in learning as per the knowledge is vast and remember good thing can also cause alot of pain too.

      When it comes to learning, I always think one is not supposed to set limits into it. But make sure know your priorities first. If you aim to be highly knowledgeable with bitcoin, then do your own diligence to learn. Be aware of its risks and rewards before you decide to finally invest. Once you’ve gained sufficient learning, then that’s the time to study with altcoins as well.

      The crypto space is originally composed with bitcoin and altcoins, so make sure you get to know about it. And always know that the whole crypto space is offering opportunities to learn and earn to all genders, be it a man or woman, as long as you have the will and interest to keep on learning, then you’re perfectly fit in crypto.

      You should focus on Bitcoin first, it's the best idea for you to get exposed in the market. Its volatility is already enough for you to get introduced and see how it moves.

      Is Bitcoin gender specific ?(is it meant for a specific gender?
      Nope, it's for everybody. There's no gender bias for investing in Bitcoin and IMHO, it's the same for every investment vehicle that we are interested with. The matter here is that your interest aligns with what you want to invest and what's suitable to your likings, it's simple as that.
      And how you reply to everyone, you can easily follow nakamura's guide or simply put "@username" and then your reply next so that you won't over quote.

      Here are my questions -
      • As a newbie, should I focus solely on Bitcoin, or should I also acquire basic knowledge of altcoins?
      • Is Bitcoin gender specific ?(is it meant for a specific gender?)

      Bitcoin is decentralized so it can't be gender specific, Bitcoin is just a currency and no currency is gender specific as it's being used by both the male and female gender. Among the top figures in the space we have both the male and female gender represented although we have more of male figures because they're more risk takers. Bitcoin isn't meant for any gender but for those who are tired of the centralized operation of the governments and want a currency that they have full control of. No government can regulate Bitcoin which puts the control of your finances in your hands and make you an independent individual.

      As a newbie you should focus mainly on Bitcoin, altcoins for now should be considered as a distraction to you. When you have acquire full knowledge on Bitcoin and also accumulated enough to your satisfaction, you can begin to play with the market with altcoins because they're solely here for speculation and do not have any long term goal. I consider all altcoins as a gamble and I'll only put my money on them just to try my luck as I'll bet on my favourite team to win a match. Sometimes they win and other times they'll disappoint and this is exactly how altcoins are and aren't that popular among top Bitcoin enthusiast.

        I assure you there are lots of females on the forum, you get to see them as you spend more time on the forum. The forum is inclusive of both genders, there is even an award category dedicated to the women of BTT. I agree that there are more men than women crypto influencers on YouTube and other social media platforms, but we are getting there gradually.

        As a newbie, I recommend you invest only in Bitcoin for now. As for learning, do not limit your learning to just Bitcoin, you should acquire knowledge of all cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. It will help you understand how everything moves in the crypto space.

        Is Bitcoin gender specific ?(is it meant for a specific gender?)
        No Bitcoin does not know gender, race or ethnicity. Anyone with the knowledge can buy bitcoins and possibly make profits from it.

        Bitcoin is a currency and is good store of value for investors as much as it is a hedge against inflation either when considering long term of short term profits from trading or accumulating it. Unless in your country currently, it is only men that earn your local fiat and spend it too, it is of good use in the hands of a male or female or any gender one may consider themselves to be.

        As long as you belong to this community, you may not need to be stressed about how your knowledge and understanding of this subject matter of cryptocurrencies or altcoins will develop to accommodate your thoughts. Just be active and do your own research as much as you read and contribute so as not to become dumber in the long run.

        Bitcoin was not created for one particular group or class, especially in terms of gender. Anyone can own and study Bitcoin completely. whether individual or in the form of a company.

        considering that you are still new, I think it is very important to learn bitcoin completely. When you feel that you have enough knowledge, then you can expand into altcoins. because the main player in the crypto world is bitcoin, not altcoin. even with altcoins, you can get multiple profits very quickly. Even those who are legends on this forum are still studying Bitcoin even though their knowledge can be said to be expert.

        My advice is to put aside altcoins first, focus on bitcoin.

        I'm interested to know the resources by reading which you determined that you belong to a certain gender in Bitcoin. In general, who conducts these statistics, and what does it mean? What do you think prevents women or men (of course, if you don’t come up with some other genders) from being interested in Bitcoin? What will happen to your thinking if you suddenly don't belong to the majority gender that is into Bitcoin? Will you quit studying, realizing that this is, for example, not a woman’s business? In general, what do you need to smoke to think about this? And why does this bother you so much?

        It's quite strange to see such questions, especially if you consider them the first. ::)

        Thanks for saying that cryptocurrency is very broad and Bitcoin happens to be at the center of it all, coming from a beginner it shows that Bitcoin and altcoins do have different identities and standards, meaning they can't be missed together.

        Some people on this forum still believe that beginners are confused that some altcoins are Bitcoin, this makes me sad after Reading such comments, as of newbies are newborn babies.

        Bitcoin is the Grand Master of all cryptocurrency, know this and know peace my man, it is the most decentralised, the most trustworthy of them all, it is not going nowhere and there is nothing to worry about, whereas altcoins have some headache you need to be worried about.

        This is why it is easier for members to advice you to invest in Bitcoin as a newbie, as for altcoins they are more complicated, you can easily lose money in altcoins, many fake and planned short term projects are available only with altcoins.

        Here is my advice, learn everything about Bitcoin and how to keep it safe, start using DCA method to gather your Bitcoin, and when you have free times you can start researching how to look for the right altcoins.

        The crypto space is like the deep blue sea and you could get eaten up by sharks. As a newbie, you do not have the required knowledge, so I'd advise you not to jump into crypto investment immediately. Take your time to know more about it and whenever you're ready, Bitcoin should be the top on your list because it's not a scam. However, like I said earlier, you need to acquire knowledge on how to keep it safe.

        If you want to know a lot of things then all you have to do is read, bitcoin has much better advantages compared to altcoins, but if you want to learn about altcoins there's no harm in that either. If you want to find the best investment then Bitcoin should be the main reason for you to go to this forum. Knowledge is never limited and if you want to learn about bitcoin then there is no harm in learning about altcoins.

        • Is Bitcoin gender specific ?(is it meant for a specific gender?)
        I have never heard of this because Bitcoin was not created to be limited to certain people and conversely, if people have the ability to invest then it can be done by anyone. I think you heard the number of gender percentages involved in bitcoin and maybe men are more dominant than women who are active in bitcoin.

        Without mixing words, Bitcoin isn't gender specific most probably you have not done your research well enough or the scope of your research hasn't been broad enough to cover the are where you see people of both genders been very successful in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency at large hence making Bitcoin and cryptocurrency not gender specific at any point. There are people who have ventured into Bitcoin and irrespective of their gender, their diligence eventually got to pay off because they put in their best into their cryptocurrency journey and that helped them a whole lot to be able to achieve as much as they have and it has nothing to do with their gender.

        Focusing solely on Bitcoin isn't a bad idea as specificity at times speeds up growth but then having basic knowledge like you said about other Altcoins will aswell go a very long way helping you becoming a better bitcoiner probably you could get to seize opportunities with other Altcoins at times butt hen it's most better you just get to know as much as you can about Bitcoin and knowing about other Altcoins wouldn't be much of a stress on you.

        The journey into the crypto space is a vast and if you think you can actually cut your way through the knowledge then I think you will just find yourself crying at the end because just as cryptocurrency especially Bitcoin is filled with wonderful opportunity, it can also be very dangerous because it has the ability to make or and also break you so understanding the basic set is very important especially when you have the money. Bitcoin knowledge is something that you need to take your time in learning as per the knowledge is vast and remember good thing can also cause alot of pain too.
        That's why I explained why learning first should be priority to avoid problems. I am fully aware of that and your reply should be directed to OP instead of me although I understand your point. As the saying goes "knowledge is power" which is really true and if you don't have knowledge about the thing you want to do then you'll never get what you wanted and when it comes to crypto then you won't earn profit while there's also a possibility that you'll lose money.

        Good day, everyone.

        Today, I decided to write a post about my new journey to learn about Bitcoin. Though I have been reading as many replies and threads as I could find, I believe I could do better by conducting further research and asking questions that might arise out of curiosity.

        I made my introduction post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5494763.msg64011857#msg64011857 two days ago, where I clearly stated the need to have an additional source of income that ensures financial independence. Unsure of where to start, cryptocurrency investment was what I had in mind. Along the way, I also foresaw the need to learn everything about it as much as possible.

        Surprisingly, I noticed that cryptocurrency is very broad, and Bitcoin happens to be at the center of it all, serving as the leading figure.

        Apart from that, I seem to notice that the majority of those dealing with cryptocurrency are of a specific gender. I observed this when checking through X (formerly called Twitter), those who teach about crypto on YouTube, and even on this forum.

        Please, pardon my questions as they might sound too odd. Asking questions is probably a way to learn fast.

        Here are my questions -
        • As a newbie, should I focus solely on Bitcoin, or should I also acquire basic knowledge of altcoins?
        • Is Bitcoin gender specific ?(is it meant for a specific gender?)
        Am still a newbie here too, but the little knowledge I have about crypto currencies especially Bitcoin I don't think it is gender specified, there is no gender, no age, no race in Bitcoin, it all about investing in it and wait patiently for your profit, yes I know crypto currency is dominated by the male gender, and also not all ladies will spare themselves the time to sit and make researches and read intensively just the way we do on this forum, so that's why you see the significant difference between the male and female involvement in crypto currency.

        • As a newbie, should I focus solely on Bitcoin, or should I also acquire basic knowledge of altcoins?
        Hello, nice to know you.
        I'll try to make my opinion about this:
        1. I will prefer to focus at first on Bitcoin. because for the first time, I know Bitcoin and this is special enough. The risk  may be high, but lower than altcoins and probably much better than altcoins,.

        Basically, the Bitcoin cycle is quite clear and we can study it, but nothing is certain. Meanwhile, altcoins will almost follow the pace of Bitcoin.

        However, it really doesn't mean to ignore altcoins. because knowledge about altcoins is also very necessary. So don't just ignore altcoins like that. Altcoin currency markets are also very worthy of investment.

        Here are my questions -
        • Is Bitcoin gender specific ?(is it meant for a specific gender?)
        NO.

        I think it’s best to learn about both Bitcoin and Altcoins. You don’t have to be interested in Altcoins to learn about them. Same way you learn about drug abuse, despite not planning to start doing drugs. But I didn’t say Altcoins are like drug abuse. ;D

        Adding to that, bitcoin isn’t specific to any gender. We don’t even know if Satoshi had more females than males. However, Bitcoin is not specific to any gender, age, race, or anything. All it takes is creating a wallet and start receiving and sending money right away.

        Surprisingly, I noticed that cryptocurrency is very broad, and Bitcoin happens to be at the center of it all, serving as the leading figure.

        I wouldn’t say that Bitcoin is the center of it all, instead I’ll say “…the start of it all”.

        • Is Bitcoin gender specific ?(is it meant for a specific gender?)
        • Ultimately no knowledge is a waste which ever knowledge you acquire it will be of help to you but the truth is for the fact that you're here on bitcointalk forum you're likely to learn about bitcoin the most maybe altcoins are going to be extras that you will get along the line.

          The say focus is the distance between you and your desire perhaps it's left for you to decide what you want, if you wish to go for bitcoin knowledge then you go for it. There are areas where you can learn the basics of bitcoin even till date I'm still reading from those sources so you have to focus on acquiring the basic bitcoin knowledge and the rest will be added to it. Just as you were told in your last post, bitcoin is the root of all other cryptocurrency so it's the first that you must consider to know before knowing others.
        • No buddy! Bitcoin can not be gender limited. Infact bitcoin has no limitations. Which equally means that anyone whether big or small, male or female has the ability to learn, know or own bitcoin. Bitcoin is another form of money, an alternative to cash or government (centralised) money hence anyone can have money. Money is not gender limited so bitcoin isn't gender specific as you put it.
          One thing you must know is that men are always in front chasing the bag so you are likely to see a specific gender more than others but that doesn't mean that the other gender isn't here even in the forum we have both gender but the male are more.

        There is no age limitations when iy comes to Bitcoin investment, age is nothing but a number maturity is of the mind but at tender age there is need to be guided in order not to become vulnerable to scammers.

Of course bitcoin Investment is less risky compared to other coins that is why as a newbie is good to start with bitcoin investment.

        If you have the basics knowledge of BTC and altcoins, is a good idea that will make you to achieve your purpose in the industry because that is what is making people to accumulate their wealth because BTC and altcoins use to pump higher during the bull run.

        Since you are a beginner, BTC will make it easy for you to begin to earn profits from your BTC investment because it hard to fail their customers like the way other coins use to failed their customers just because they have weak team behind the coins.

        As a beginner, you need to have many sources of income which is the best way you can hodl your BTC for the years you wish to hodl them before you can sell to make plenty profits.

        I do recommend that you first focus on learning the fundamentals of BTC as it mostly covers and explains the very foundation of what most altcoins use their source of.

        If you have a basic understanding on how BTC works under the blockchain, this could also explain some of the other mechanics that altcoins have copied and improved on the blockchain of BTC. If you start learning the very essence on what makes cryptocurrencies, this could very well be helpful if you plan on learning some altcoins in the future.

        Let me ask you a question: IS MONEY GENDER SPECIFIC?

        To be honest, I am somehow confused with your statement as I honestly think that BTC does not categorize nor associate with any kind of sex/gender.

        Investment is for anyone who is willing to risk their resources for a potential return in the future. Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies do not discriminate in its nature- it is open for everyone regardless of what their sex, race, and even age for as long as you understand its very foundation and core.

        For me, I suggest you focus on learning about bitcoin so you will not lose your money in altcoins, and that can give you a bad impression of bitcoin because you will think that is how Bitcoin works. If you learn about bitcoin and decide to keep your money in bitcoin, you will be covered, and no government financial policies can affect you. The government of a country can wake up one morning and implement a policy where, for any transfer of money you do, a certain percentage of money will be taken by the government and it can't be accounted for. But bitcoin self-custodial will help you to eliminate such policies because it gives you total control of your money, and no third party can tell you how or when to use your bitcoin or scrutinize your transactions. Bitcoin was created for everyone in the world; both genders can use it if they wish to do so, but you can't force someone to use bitcoin.

        We can also learn as an autodidact and many of the facilities can also be used whether looking for websites or blogs that specifically discuss the latest BTC developments.

        I personally think like this, whatever we follow should have a teacher who has experience in the crypto world, whether he is a trader or a financial expert. So, when we make some mistakes, it will be easy to resolve and have a quick solution that has been proven to be effective if implemented afterwards because we will invest our money in BTC.

        Even if you want to buy something other than BTC, just ask him again.

        • As a newbie, should I focus solely on Bitcoin, or should I also acquire basic knowledge of altcoins?
        As a newbie that you're I will advice you to solely focus on Bitcoin because it's the leading, reputable and trustworthy coin in the crypto space.Bitcoin may take years to give you the returns you desire but trust me you won't regret investing your capital into bitcoin as a matter of fact most altcoins you see in the market cap may dump and never pump again, so it's better you focus on Bitcoin rather than being a vulnerable to scam.

        • Is Bitcoin gender specific ?(is it meant for a specific gender?)
        Both genders can participate in Bitcoin.Being a female doesn't deprives you from participating in Bitcoin,the reason why you think that a specific gender can participate in Bitcoin is because everyone appear anonymous so you can't know any user except the user is using KYC(know your customer/client).

        You can focus on several types of knowledge, which you don't have to focus on just one, such as knowledge in Bitcoin. Because if you can gain more knowledge through the focus you use, of course it will also be better for you who are still a beginner. However, because you are still a beginner at the moment, there is no harm in focusing on Bitcoin knowledge first and then you can use the time to find more other knowledge. Because the more knowledge, the better it will be for a beginner to be more enthusiastic about working in the crypto space.

        No, I've never thought about Bitcoin like that because from what I've seen so far it really doesn't exist. Because there are also women who like Bitcoin and even love Bitcoin more than any other asset, as well as men who may be more dominant than women when it comes to buying and storing Bitcoin. However, what you need to know is that Bitcoin is not limited by gender because Bitcoin is created for everyone and can be owned by everyone who already has knowledge and trust in Bitcoin.

        Obviously bitcoin is created for everyone and can  also be owned by everyone I totally agree with you on that, of course bitcoin is not limited by gender everyone can invest in bitcoin depending on your personal decision. because you're not the one providing the capital there's no where they wrote that bitcoin is for a specific gender everyone has the privilege to invest in bitcoin, the only thing that matters is if they have the understanding about how bitcoin investment work's.

        Take good decisions for ourselves. Bitcoin and altcoins are both different and we can clearly understand the fact that bitcoin is ranked top because of market cap and its also very essential and regularly for long runs. We should go for the basic knowledge of the market and understands the cross margin. As a newbie, it's always advisable to follow up the space and the trends, no time to relent because learning never ends.

          Bitcoin is a coin that has proven beyond every reasonable dout to be a good and the best that has more solid foundation as when compared with other coins more especially knowing fully well that the performance of other coins solely depends on Bitcoin performance, there are both risk involvement in both Bitcoin and other coins but Bitcoin is less risky when compared to other coins hence it is always advisable not to do more than 10 percent of your Bitcoin size in to other coins.

          Bitcoin is not gender specific, it gives equal opportunity for both the male gender and the female gender, but why it seems to be that the male are more involved in space is that the male are know to be risk bearer as when compared to that of the female.

          • Is Bitcoin gender specific ?(is it meant for a specific gender?)

          As a newbie you should first increase your knowledge about cryptocurrency. Altcoin or Bitcoin Do you have a clear idea about these two cryptos? What do you know about the volatility and investment risk of these two currencies? Decide which cryptocurrency you want to specialize in first. I would suggest you to focus more on Bitcoin as a newbie. Because compared to other currencies in the market, investing in Bitcoin is much less risky and even profitable. Beginners can invest while learning Bitcoin as Bitcoin is easy to understand or invest if you have enough time.

          Bitcoin is not limited by gender or age. People of any age or gender can own Bitcoin if they have enough money to buy Bitcoin. Suppose we have many boys or girls in this forum who own bitcoins but they are anonymous, you and I don't know if they are boys or girls. Likewise in the crypto space there are many boys and girls who are Bitcoin investors who keep themselves anonymous.

          First of all, if you have patience, you can learn a lot about the crypto world. Most people want to enter the crypto world by learning the basics about Bitcoin. You can focus on either altcoins or bitcoins, but your progress will depend on how much time you can devote to learning about these coins. Bitcoin is just a single coin, if you start researching it hopefully you will soon learn about the analysis of the coin or the movement of the coin. But there are so many alt coins out there that you will need a lot of time to research many coins you have so I think you can both start and invest in Bitcoin. But keep learning about Alt little by little if you feel the need. It doesn't matter what gender a person invests in Bitcoin, Bitcoin is open to everyone.
