Hey BTC Colleagues!
BTC n00b here requesting some direction:
Where may I find an ALL INCLUSIVE (very comprehensive) "Beginners Guide" from the angel of an actual BTC Buyer/Spender/Investor (Hoarder) then eventually getting involved in the BTC community as a miner?
I understand that pretty much everyone is a BTC Buyer/Spender/Investor etc, but I was hoping for a guide that doesnt just answer the question "What is Bitcoin?"
Like many beginners, questions related to ultra n00b BTC topics are always instructed to just "Google" it.
Sometimes, that is just not enough.
For the past several months, I have been reading/watching SO MUCH information on BTC and each blog/article/guide makes me want to keep spending more hours reading to a point that I feel like I am one of those stereotypical loser fat adult children in grandmas basement never seeing daylight and sitting on a makeshift toilet seat so you dont even need to get up to piss or shit while on the PC.
Really great information on the internet, but its not focused enough for a comprehensive guide. Some articles are just for miners, some for traders, some for average debit card spender, some for ultra n00b (i.e. what is Bitcoin).
I tend to read the same crap over and over again and I really wanted a place where I can really read something comprehensive for the user who wants to become the Buyer/Spender/Invest + (Securely).
Maybe this already exists and I am stupid (possibility). Or not looking in the right places.
But Bitcoin is honestly too complicated and theres just too much crap to put into one guide.
However, I am sure some AWESOMENESS person out there has made a guide that I am looking for.
This guide would be from the perspective of a potential BTC Buyer/Spender/Investor (Hoarder) that eventually wants to get involved in the BTC community as a miner.
Coinbase makes BTC buying too easy.
You dont even know whats going on in the backend which is critical for people to understand the underlying technology.
Always helpful are people who post within this forum to answer questions. Great responses.
Props to those community members who spend the hours to post helpful information w/ links.
However, everything I read are in pieces and in "blocks" of topic areas.
Is there anything more "holistic"??
For example:
User Profile: Say I am a reech beech and I have $1MM of liquid capital wanting a piece of the BTC action
So now, I would like to read about how to effectively buy BTC and be an active + smart spender, invest some (Hoard It), keep security ULTRA tight and then really get involved in the BTC community as a miner (later).
The guide would be broken down similar to below:
Intro: What is Bitcoin (etc etc), Why BTC (etc etc), Godfather Satoshi (etc etc) - Whatever other "intro topics"..
1-A) Where to buy BTC (Pro/Cons) based on Country
-USA: Coinbase - etc etc (Pro/Cons) Bitstamp - etc etc (Pro/Cons) BTC-e - etc etc (Pro/Cons) Localbitcoins.com - etc etc (Pro/Cons)
-ACH vs Wire vs etc etc (Pro/Cons)
-Fees - etc etc
1-B) After selecting how to obtain BTC, will FULL understanding how Wallets + Address + Keys (Public/Private) works
-
https://blockchain.info (WHO/WHAT/WHERE/WHEN/WHY/WTF/SUCH WOW)
-
www.bitaddress.org (WHO/WHAT/WHERE/WHEN/WHY/WTF/MANY INFO)
- Paper Wallets (ALL RELATED INTRICACIES - Random number generator, etc etc)
- Hardware Wallets (i.e. Piper - AWESOME bitcoin paper wallet printer)
- Cold Storage (Pro/Cons)
- All about BTC "Sweep" + Security + Mixers
- All about security (never use same address twice, never create online wallets where vendor holds keys etc etc)
- All about encryption of wallets/keys etc etc etc + Multi-Sig + BIP0038
*2) How to spend it (i.e. Debit Cards) - Online Shopping - PayPal - XAPO - etc etc (Pro/Cons) - Shift Payments - etc etc (Pro/Cons)
^ ^ ^ ^
Something like this.
Something ALL encompassing and provides the necessary detail for a user that wants to be part of this community.
So I am hoping something like this exists.
Thank you so much everyone!!
