Bitcoin Complete Guide for Beginners

[yazher]

As I look for something to share, I found out about this site that tackles most of the topics you need to know about bitcoin. This is a good start for the newbies who wanted to learn bitcoin from scratch as they have a vast of information for you to learn everything you need about Bitcoin. You just need to follow the instruction given for a smooth tour of the site and one thing, this site is for bitcoin only. That is wonderful anyway because after you learn everything here, it will be easy for you to learn the rest of how the other cryptocurrencies work.

Just press the start button as you can see in the image below and you are good to go.

Wow, another great source of learning about Bitcoin. I find the website pretty newbie-friendly, especially it is full of resources about Bitcoin.
But just a piece of advice for everyone especially those beginners who may try to use this kind of website, always do multiple research or confirm it with different sources, everything now on the internet may be fake news or not legit.
Btw, thanks yazher for sharing this.

Upon exploring this is a really good guide there is a lot of information include also while checking on every page they have some videos to give information to the newbie's what's all about, also they have a different list of it and categorize which is easier to identify. On UI/UX they have a good interface it's all smooth with no errors(upon my exploring on the website) also it just looks like a mobile application for me its bookmarked for me to learn more.

Off-topic is this created with ionic/angular?

Also, I want to add a good source too for beginners.

Thanks yazher it seems you are really good on finding some good site that have very knowledgeable when it comes to cryptocurrency, blockchain, bitcoin and many more. Ive seen you posted a lot of useful sites and this one is also one of the best. Ive scanned the sites and I can say its good. From definition to different sections on how to understand bitcoin theres even podcast. Not tried all but will check some of the features listed. Interface is user friendly too any so easy to navigate. Perfect for beginners.

Thumbs up for the guy who made this and of course to you OP for sharing it here. Surely it can help some newbies to learn.

I've not used the site (app) and I don't think we know who created it, I'm not saying it's not good for newbies, but you can't be sure about it in maybe the long run, so to the newbies who may be interested in exploring that website to add to their Bitcoin knowledge, they should be careful and remember to follow all the precautionary measures when in the Bitcoin network.

This forum is prolly even enough as a start for a newbie, plus users sometimes share safe links leading off the forum (GitHub, YouTube, etc) that are helpful and newbies can read and gain more knowledge; the point is, in btt, users put efforts to make sure newbies stay safe and help them filter what's scam from legitimate, I don't know how many websites or apps do that for newbies and that's were there's a problem.

If it was just an informative site, I’d be less concerned. Nevertheless, the site does have a significant amount of links within, and one can always picture a scenario where some of the links may be changed at a given point in time, linking to a rough Electrum wallet for example. I did no detect any though at first sight, and there may be no intent of the kind here, but one needs to be especially careful with links, and this site is full of them (even if well intended).

The "Get Bitcoin" does point to a bunch of places I have never heard of, and they would not be my piece of cake for a beginner.

Your concerns are reasonable and well-founded.

It is worth to note that this project is open-source, so everyone can visit their GitHub https://github.com/bitcoin-only/bitcoin-only/find/master inspect the code and verify all the links provided on the website. Don't trust, verify and ask questions!

This is such a good information to share. Site is very simple with good UI.
Newbies can learn some important things from there.
The Meet up section, hardware, podcasts, conferences, store tool and books are my favourites. Newbies will learn a lot at the book part.
Will definitely spend more time on the site.

Thanks for sharing this but I think bitcoin.org (it's more enhanced) is more user friendly for newbies. I just have checked the suugested wallet where they have suggested bitcoin core and samurai wallets but for newbies, I think Electrum would also be suggested.

[erikoy]

Thank you OP for this because I still wanted to learn bitcoin even if I had a little knowledge still I know that I have to learn more things to it. Anyway, this is a good share and if possible a post like this should be pinned on top of other threads so that newcomers will be able to understand on their own. Though there are many lessons or articles that could be read through online still having another way to learn is better.

The way that he provided a picture is really a good technique in helping newbies to visualize or have an idea on what is the OP talking about.

Bitcoin is not that easy to learn, it is not that easy to handle, but with full willingness and dedication, you can make it grow with yourself. The thing that those beginners are looking for is something that will help them become rich instantly. We all know that bitcoin is volatile and it is really hard to say when will your assets will grow depending on the market situations.

This post is not enough for us to learn the whole bitcoin and YES, doing some research is really a big help.

[jaresmerel001]

The first tip would be investigate the industry. To check the fluctuations in the currency, follow the website Coinmarketcap to know the reason for fluctuations by joining the coin telegram channels.

Second Tip - It is volatile to be a beginner dealing only with bitcoin and Ethereum and investing only that amount you are willing to loose as the market.

Third Tip - Don't jump to Altcoins directly.

There was also a site I can recommend, it is also good and well explanatory for beginners to understand, it was created also by a member on this forum. You can use the below link to access it. Although, it emphasize more on privacy and scam avoidance, it is a good to read write up.

About the site in the OP, I have checked it, it will really be good for newbies. But never mind me, I want to add some suggestions

1. Among the wallet, Mycelium is not included, you can include it because it is a good wallet, it works fine on android. Also know that you should include electrum to bitcoin lightning network wallet, electrum is now supporting lightning network. The 'custodial wallet' you meant should be changed to 'custodial lightning bitcoin wallet' because all wallets you mentioned under it are lightning bitcoin wallets.
 
2. About bitcoin books, there is one that is often mentioned on this forum, mastering bitcoin. It will be good if you included it.

3. I noticed you did not make much emphases on security and privacy, this is very important for beginners to know, that is why I first inputted that link above, you can try and go through it, it will be good if you have a write up about that, for new bitcoiners not to fall for scam.

Also know that you should include electrum to bitcoin lightning network wallet, electrum is now supporting lightning network. The 'custodial wallet' you meant should be changed to 'custodial lightning bitcoin wallet' because all wallets you mentioned under it are lightning bitcoin wallets.

Download it there https://electrum.org/#download and verify the wallet with these instructions How to Safely Download and Verify Electrum

2. About bitcoin books, there is one that is often mentioned on this forum, mastering bitcoin. It will be good if you included it.

Good topics on security and privacy

[Husires]

Thank you. I did not know much about the topics and it is easy to remember the site so I do not need to mark a reminder.
I will shorten many topics and translate them because they are a rich source of information.

Many sites contain information, but few are in English. Local councils need a lot of effort.
