Take your precious time in absorbing all these information as it can be overwhelming. It personally took me a while to finally grasp bitcoin's value proposition.

other members have shared links that you might want/need to read, but if you want to familiarize yourself with the forum I suggest reading these threads Newbies - Read before posting and Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ, reading these threads is a great way to start your journey here in the forum it could also help you avoid doing things that could get your account in trouble.

I'll be keeping a mental note of your account and how much you progress on the forum.
You have a great mindset about the forum, and have shown qualities that many newbies lack, in the single thread.
I'm not a merit source and don't always have stored smerits, so don't get excited.

There are really a lot of posted topics here and I really don't have an idea where should I start. I want to learn. Thanks everyone!

It can be overwhelming sometimes, so just take it a step at a time.
Get understanding of the forum, and then the basics of cryptocurrencies.
You can then use your basic knowledge as a directory to search for what topics interests you.

Hola, welcome. You'd love it here if you keep to the rules. One of the suggestions I like to give to newbies to go to this thread- Report plagiarism (copy/paste) here. Mods: please give temp or permban as needed and read thoroughly. One of the reasons is because very soon there will be subtle pressure to get merits and rank up ASAP. And this often leads newbies to flout the forum rules. Plagiarism is one of the "deadliest sins". Beware and be aware. Please, always, always reference any idea which you post that is not originally yours.
