Hello all, I am still learning about this new technology of Bitcoin. I couldn't help but notice the thread at the very top: 'Bitcoin Core ...... Released'. I was just wondering as to what this 'Bitcoin Core' is and what it is used for?

This is a bitcoin wallet used to receive/store/send bitcoins. Its the "official wallet" that was first created by Satoshi Nakamoto (the creator of bitcoin) and the thread you see on the TOP is simply a thread that you will continue to see over the years (as long as bitcoin core is being updated, basically the changelogs).

It's a desktop wallet, so you download it, and sync it... This process can take hours to days and takes +100 Gb of diskspace. If you don't want this, you should look at an SPV wallet like electrum.

BTW: i would strongly advice to stay away from online wallets for multiple reasons.

Why does it take so much space? Does it have to download a copy of the blockchain on your HDD? Is the HDD speed of importance later on? I have an old 120GB SATA from many years ago, you think it's suitable?

Yes, it downloads the full blockchain and verifies everything...
