Like many folk, I should have invested in BTC many moons ago, but never - Hey ho.
It's still very early in Bitcoin adoption, so you have not missed the train yet.
I got got as far as making a snake game on BBC Basic as a kid, but that is where my skills stopped and forgotten.
I do not really have any understanding of code and how block chain etc works... Being honest, I just about use email.
You do not need in-depth understanding of codes or blockchain to be able to wrap your head around the basics of Bitcoin or to actually use it in a transaction or store it in a wallet. As long as you have been using a smart phone or a computer (which you obviously have with this post) then you can understand and use bitcoin.
I appreciate this forum is probably for more knowledgeable people than me and I run the risk of being trolled, but I thought this might be the best place to start.
Does anyone have any advice, or could signpost me to learn?
There is a healthy bunch of knowledgeable members and also a good amount of trolls. Learn from the former and ignore the latter; this is the internet after all.
My advice;
• Identify what resource you learn best through, could be videos, podcasts, books etc.
• Find useful content that would help you understand the basics of Bitcoin. You can also drop your preferred choice or resource here and other members can chip in with suggestions,
• Take it a step at a time,
• Realize that you do not need to understand the whole concept of it inorder to use it.
• Read useful posts here such as;
