But UniSwap is for crypto-crypto trading. OP's site is targeted at the complete newbie. The complete newbie doesn't want to know how to swap some wrapped bitcoin for some random ERC20 token and back again, since they will have absolutely no idea what either of things are. If we are going to recommend DEXs (which I think we should to all newbies before they get sucked in to the nightmare of endless KYC and zero privacy they get with centralized exchanges), then we should recommend ones which allow them to safely buy bitcoin with fiat, since that is what they will be interest in. Bisq and LocalCryptos are the two best ones for doing that.

Great discussion everyone thank you, it's opened my eyes to the advantages of DEXs to newbies as i was coming from the angle of people having peace of mind with centralised exchanges as they're generally a bit easier to navigate. But it's DEXs are something for me to look further in to and maybe create some "How to" guides for getting started, so thanks!

Thank you for your honesty and for taking a look at the site. I will absolutely bear this in mind, i thought it would be useful for the domain to be .tips so straight away people are aware it's a site that gives tips, i hadn't considered it from your point of view before but i will try to find out if it something that puts more people off!

Hi. Thank you so much for taking a look and being honest with what you've seen, i really appreciate it!

In terms of the lack of DEXs and software wallet recommendations - i'm aiming the site at complete techno-phobes essentially so i was thinking to keep all the info as easy to follow as possible as the unregulated part of DEXs is what may put a lot of fear into the more "traditional" investors, but it is absolutely food for thought for me to add!

And yes you're spot on about the "sustainable fish" part at the bottom of the jargon buster page! Haha great spot thanks, i've removed it now but maybe one day my oversight will inspire a meme coin called "Bitcod" or something 

Donation links/addresses are on my to-do list as well!

Thank you very much once again!

Hi everyone.

Over the past month or so i've been putting together as much information for new starters in the crypto investing space (think your parents or grandparents). Over the summer i was talking to my FIL about crypto and he looked at me like i had 5 heads so i thought it would be a good idea to put down a load of simplified crypto advice, tips, terms and "How to's" so that people who are new to the space don't get overwhelmed.


I'd be really appreciative of any constructive feedback anyone could give me, the site isn't fully finished yet but the majority of the essential information is there. I'm absolutely not a cryptocurrency guru, just a normal guy wanting to make it as easy as possible for everyone to begin to understand the basics of crypto. I even recommend people to visit the bitcointalk.org forum when they start to research any coin they're interested in! The site is: www.howtocryptouk.tips

Thanks!
