Bitcoin Forum

hello to all this is my first contact with the bitcoin I hope to learn from this forum since I am very interested in the bitcoin and other coins can  someone please  give me  some advice to start trading and mining  :D

Before even going into trading or mining or anything involving any sort of investments, do a lot of research. When I mean a lot, I really mean a lot. Focus first on learning about the technology. Don't focus on making profit for now.

thank you very much, I am going to read those articles

Yep, just get reading and watching vids, absorb as much as you can. It all seems baffling and somewhat overwhelming at the start but it gets easier and more interesting the more you understand.

Since the links for newbies was given out to you already. And you had mentioned about trading and mining, let's go first with trading. In trading, you must be a continuous learner. You don't stop just because you gain something and you must open with different suggestion of the traders that are ahead to you. With mining, it's not profitable if you plan to mine bitcoins now. Why? Most of the people who mine bitcoins are just surrendering because of their lack of resource / rig. Only the mining farms can earn now there, try out mining with alt coins through GPU's.

Read a lot in this forum and ask questions. What helped me were facebook groups. A lot easier to ask questions and there are saved resources in all groups.

Search bitcoins.search for a lot of resources that would help you understand easier the world of bitcoins.ask your friends who are already member in bitcoins,they will help you understand alot in bitcoin world easier.

Hi! I'm also new here. Couldn't find where to post this question, may be you can answer my question here? I often come across "airdrop" add on various threads. What does it mean?

Same as me. Good luck bro.

Feel like I need some luck too...
So much to take in

Is here a chatroom too?

All the most interesting now is in the telegrams of the trenches, there is everything about the upcoming ico, crypto news ... https: //t.me/ico_new

The moment you logged in here in the bitcointalk is already a great step in knowing bitcoin.

These are the trusted sites i'm using related to bitcoin:

1. coinmarketcap.com - this site shows the latest price of bitcoin together with almost all of the coins. In this site you can check the chart of every coin including bitcoin, volume, price action and many more.

2. Cryptomaniac (facebook page) - they provide quality education about bitcoin and related topic of it.

3. @secretsofcrypto (twitter account) - you can follow him/her if you want for substantial data about bitcoin


I hope this would help.

read read and read. Then trade trade and trade

Thank you very much for the fruitful tutorial. It is a really helpful for a beginner like me to learn more about Bitcoin. Really wonderful and thanks for the links.

I think the whole exchange system, however, is based on the knowledge that must be acquired and the practice itself should be applied when it has the appropriate knowledge, only after that he will get some more budget.

Yes you can learn from this froum.You can learn about bitcoin in  Bitcoin Discussion ,project development. You can learn about altcoins from Alternate cryptocurrencies thread.You can learn about trading from trading Discussion thread.But you need proper knowledge before start trading. But I think mining is not a good choice.Need huge investment to start trading.Altcoins mining is profitable

Blockchain technology is a bit difficult to understand and this post: https://anders.com/blockchain/  does an awesome job explaining it !
Otherwise, I don't know much about trading and mining

yes ,, we both learn ,, give each other spirit and help each other ,, for now we focus just raise the rank ,, but with post notes we should be useful, and can provide solutions for others ,, remember not to post us in think spam by moderators ,,

For a newbie you must read any possible source about bitcoin, read and read then understand all part of the mining and trading. watch videos, ask question specially  for those who are already veteran in the field of mining and trading.

Same here, thanks for the infos

welcome to the bitcoin community :)

Regarding your questions, it doesn't really make much of a sense to mine nowadays, unless you really want to get dedicated or want to get a hands-on experience about the software and underlying technology, so I'd stick with your second suggestion which is about trading. I would try to discourage you to trade on a daily basis (day trading) and encourage you to trade a few times a month, in this way you'll have a much better control of your inflows/outflows and won't have to deal with the entire stressful task of trading (to make a profit). What you want to do is find a local exchange, that accepts FIAT currency. That's very important, as you don't have any crypto's yet, so the exchange has to accept FIAT. Every country has its own regulation about exchange, so you'll have to find a suitable one for the country you are residing in (just google "exchange and your country"). After that you'll go through the KYC (know your customer) process and within minutes you'll be able to buy BTC. And then you'll be a real part of our integral community! Welcome again and enjoy the ride

Yes the thing that is new in the world of bitcoin is bitcoin Gold, bitcoin gold is releasing I think in October of 2017 and which will make bitcoin more good and important to the society which is really amazing in the world of bitcoin and I know more people will invest after the releasing of bitcoin Gold.

agree with you sir.
learn first then doing that. in trading, invest or something like that. knowledge is very important.
in this forum is many things you can learn. just read them and you will get anything you need.

cool, I'm newbie to BTC, only read some articles on coindesk, but don't know aantonop - will watch it surely

first you have to do is that you have to learn first in analyzing a coin .. that may be good prospect

first read alot about bitcoin and explore the forum some topics is about bitcoin. don't focus about mining.

The best way to get started is to read tech news and the latest information on crypto, because only by this way you will have the current knowledge.

Here such as you appear dozens, it would be necessary to create a separate branch for you, because the questions are unchanged. I would do the most topical questions and briefly told, well, it's moderators for a note.

I only suggest to you these three words for newbie like me. Read, Learn then Apply. its very helpful to you when you follow the rules and step. So goodluck to the both of us.

Much information can be downloaded from this forum through active participation. Personally, I recommend Youtube. I also heard about books, but I'm not convinced. First of all do not give up too fast because nothing will come out of it. Be patient and time will tell what you pull out of it.

thank you for share this article..... It is very helpful for me...... thanx again.

Hi! Maybe you can recommend me some more fundamental about mining? maybe courses for beginners?

welcome to the forum, first of all it's important to read the rules about what is "allowed" and not. After that my recommendation would be to start by understanding what the Blockchain is, and the technology behind it, how does it work and what problems does it solve, if you have understood the concept behind it and you believe that the blockchain is indeed the future, then you can go to the next step of trading or mining. If you'd like to stick to one of the two, I'd recommend you have better chances to start trading, because the mining part is currently at these times very difficult and not really profitable, you're unlikely to make any descent returns and the hardware costs to make descent returns are too high. If you'd like to get involved into trading, check the FX market (traditional currency exchanges) and read about how technical analysis works, then you'll find some patterns to determine how the price is changes, higher or lower and can slowly start becoming good at that. After having learned the FX markets you can move to crypto and BTC markets which are relatively more volatile and "dangerous" but you should be prepared more or less to handle that, once you understand FX markets.

That magical "search box" in this forum can help you find what you need to know!  ;)

Take time to read and learn about bitcoin and how it works. That is my advice to all those who are new to digital currency. You can get lots of nice materials and information at bitcoin discussion section here or google. i cant post link here yet. just just search for "about bitcoin" or "bitcoin presentation" you will learn so much and there you go. Welcome to bitcoin world.
