Well as starter since this is a bitcoin forum you need to study about bitcoin. A fellow member shared some links to some learning guide. For a newbie who doesnt really have some idea about crypto then the internet is your friend. If you are fond of learning through reading then just browse different topics here specifically on bitcoin discussion.

But if you like visuals then you can always use Youtube as reference to understand it more. Like search what is crypto, or what is bitcoin until your knowledge deepen.

But as a newbie here you might also add to your goal the rules and regulations here. Like familiarize with it.

First of all, welcome to this great forum where a problem shared is a problem solved. I saw one of your post where you talk about how you created account but couldn't be able post and you use a VPN to create a new one. That gesture is not of a total newbie to this forum at all. You probably have a guardian that instructed you to do that. Comments above mine have suggested numerous materials for you that'll help to guide you both in this forum and the crypto entirely. Forum permits asking questions but try to check whether similar issue has been shared and discussed upon before. Guidelines for newbies have been discussed here severally but I wonder why every newbie prefer to create a thread on it.

A blank book is easier to write on, so it will be easier for you to learn if you really dedicate time to learning from the links. I want to encourage you because I was also someone who knew nothing about bitcoins, I was interested in not just getting rich but having wealth too, so I inquired about the step to wealth by asking the right questions, and a fried introduced me to bitcoins. As an entirely new learner, you have an advantage being in this forum and learning at the same time than someone who is just trying to learn on their own.

You have gotten so many links from the comments. You don't have to be overwhelmed with them. Start first thing with one after the other.
I also want to say that nothing trumps being active on the forum, asking questions and contributing to the development of the forum.
 Teach someone what you have learned about after you have learned something about cryptocurrency and Bitcoin in particular.

First of all, welcome to this great forum where a problem shared is a problem solved. I saw one of your post where you talk about how you created account but couldn't be able post and you use a VPN to create a new one. That gesture is not of a total newbie to this forum at all.

I also saw that on the other thread created by the OP, which could raise a lot of questions from others like you and me, but when we look at things the other way around, one can be a newbie here in the forum and in crypto, as the OP claims to be.
 
But that does not mean they are completely newbies when it comes to making proper use of gadgets and tools that can help you unlock certain things, and the use of VPN is common among almost all internet users, so it's not something that requires deep knowledge to learn how to make use of it.


@Op, I just hope you make good use of those links and don’t be like others who don’t revisit threads after its creation.

The guidelines are already given above, and what you can do now is to do your own diligence to explore and study the forum because learning all started with simply reading and understanding what’s need to comprehend. Since you’re still a newbie, I’d like to suggest to get started with the forum seriously. Give a lot of your time learning while your motivation is still high, because when that vanish, you will feel boredom reading a lot of posts every time.

However, never forget to enjoy every minute in the forum. That is your key there. Never get obsessed but make it somewhat a priority as well. That is if you want to maximize learning as a newbie as there’s actually a lot to learn if you are just willing to endure the boredom and the tiring effect when it comes to consistent reading.

Good sources to learn about crypto currencies in general have been given here already. I'll add https://learnmeabitcoin.com for Bitcoin in particular. Reading, learning and understanding you have to do yourself. Don't rush it and take your time. Knowledge and understanding is important to judge if opportunities in crypto space are good for you or only good for those who offer them to you.

Never forget: if something looks too good, be careful for whom it's actually good (not necessarily you). Be persistant to find out where money comes for profit of an offer.

Id thought of adding more links to the ones provided to you already, but as a newbie, i see there's no need of rushing them on you at once, you can have a nice time in going through the above links and learn from them, make it a point of duty that you're learning them by reading, you can make use of the search button to enquire more on additional details on aspects that had already been discussed before here, but you have to be active after starting the the forum rules and regulations that will determine your stay here, do much of reading than writing for now.

I am also a beginner. I am Trying to read and realizing about forum and Cryptocurrancy.
Can anyone tell me about "what are ASICS?" and "writing shortcut word?"

[Cricktor]

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=What+is+an+ASIC

Have you tried to do some search effort yourself prior? The ability to search and find stuff on the internet is probably one of the most basic and essential skills that should be learned rather earlier than later. It can be difficult sometimes to sieve the crap from the pearls but that's how it is. Can't always easily have the cherry on the cake.

Regarding an ASIC: do you have a specific question about it besides what it is or what the abbreviation means?

Your second question, I don't get it what you're asking for. Kindly, elaborate!
