Simple question where do I start with Bitcoins?

right here, on this forum  

But kidding aside, it's up to you... Why are you interested in bitcoin? The technical aspects, the fact that it's a method of sending and receiving funds, or are you looking to invest?

If it's the technical aspects, i'd probably tell you to read the whitepaper, or one of the many technical books... And if you have questions afterwards, you can come to this forum to ask them.

If you're not interested in the technical aspects, i'd still urge you to watch a couple introductory movies, afterwards you can download a (testnet) wallet, exchange some funds and start right away...

Just make sure that you always remember that crypto transactions are irreversible, and there are many scammers (there are scams outside of the crypto community aswell, but since crypto is relatively new, the scammers seem to get away with more than in an offline environment). The fact that crypto is irreversible and you don't need to meet up IRL to send funds makes the scammers even more bold... If you're suspecting something is fishy, it never hurts to come to this forum and ask advice before sending money.

Simple answer start with learning, get yourself aquintated to various bitcoin learning materials, learn from the forum here and read threads, make use of the forum search buttom and make your search through on the bitcoin discussion most, conduct personal research online, create time for yourself to learn and build up, ask questions where necessary but make it constructive, be determined to kearn and grow and have enough patience, i think with these you should have a good start for a beginning.

Before you start with Bitcoin you need to know what exactly is Bitcoin and how to use it.
I have a big source of learning and courses about Bitcoin if you want to learn more about Bitcoin start from reading this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin

Then read more about the Bitcoin blockchain from these link below

Simple question where do I start with Bitcoins?

This question is far from being simple to be honest, there’s a lot of things you didn’t mention in your question, like if you already have a bitcoin wallet and for what use you need to start using bitcoin.
So i suggest you id you didn’t do any of that yet to open a wallet then search for an exchange platform that allows your region so you can buy some bitcoin and it’s a perfect time to do if you want to invest on that, i also suggest that you keep surfing this great forum and learn much things

That's true but it's easy for you to say who knows what a bitcoin wallet is, how to download/verify/install a wallet and keep it secure. Beginners have to start by learning about wallets, keys, ... pretty much basic stuff before they begin to buy bitcoin.

Yeah, well. The answers you have been given above are very helpful, and I hope you will read all the links that have been passed on to you.

I would go the other way. What I would recommend is that you start by looking for information yourself, and don't expect it to be served to you on a platter. It will serve you much better in the long run. Then, if you read information on your own and have questions, ask. We will be happy to help you.

Simple question where do I start with Bitcoins?

I have read some replies in this thread and many of it are best way to start and I would also say the same thing so, I will only give you tips. Since you wanted to know where to start with Bitcoins so, the answer to that is don't dive in headfirst in bodies of wate and if that thinking is use in crypto then the decision would be research for before doing something then you'll know where to start much like in diving water which you must check first if there could be a debris that you may get hit when you dive.

The most interesting thing is that such beginners easily find the section for beginners. And then they create a topic with such a banal question, without reading anything around at all. I'm pretty sure it was a random post that won't answer again in this thread.
A man found a forum, sat down at a desk, and decided that three hundred other people would teach him here. How it became popular. Buddy, start with motivational books like "Think and Grow Rich." If you can't achieve much while your ass is on the couch, get up and start working yourself.

Simple question where do I start with Bitcoins?

If you're truly anxious in learning about Bitcoin (here in this forum) and not mere saying, your regular boards to visit should be Bitcoin Discussion and Beginners and Help threads. Maintain a constant presence in those boards, read more from them than you would post and you will see how improved you will become within weeks.

Simple question where do I start with Bitcoins?

As you have already been told, you are on the right way.

right here, on this forum  

Now you have to learn and master a lot. Just read and absorb information from this forum, which in its own way is a unique knowledge base about bitcoin.

Let me be curious. How did you hear about bitcoin and what inspired you to start learning about it?

[suzanne5223]

Simple question where do I start with Bitcoins?

What you need to understand is the fundamental aspect of Bitcoin, the history of its creation ^{(the purpose so you can have an absolute understanding of it benefit)}, and learn about the blockchain, and wallet ^{(know how the Bitcoin wallet operates and how to secure your wallet from online theft)}.
For this forum, you need to understand the rules, and regulations and avoid plagiarism. In the meantime, I found a thread created by Fillippone and I believe it will help you with your learning.

Those who want to invest this is actually the best time but only for long term holders say 5+ years because in the short term volatility could force you to panic sell and newbies need to understand this.At this time the discounted rates are there and you should take this opportunity if you can.

[Bhig Daddy]

"I have my graphic cards ready to start, where do I start mining and which is the most reasonable way to start it?"

Well, you're in the bitcoin subforum, so i'll give you a bitcoin answer: you can not mine with a graphics card anymore... Sure, in theory you can, but the hashrate is SOOOOOOO low compared to the difficulty, odds are you won't be able to solve a single share in a reasonable timeframe (if you're pool mining).

[pooya87]

"I have my graphic cards ready to start, where do I start mining and which is the most reasonable way to start it?"

As mocacinno said you can't mine bitcoin but you can mine certain altcoins with your GPU, you can read topics in the altcoin mining board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.0 or ask your questions there.
Generally speaking you need to have a low electricity price, a decent GPU that can give you a decent hashrate and then you just find the most profitable altcoin to mine and sell your rewards for bitcoin or fiat.
There are some calculators that can help you decide too. Like this site: https://whattomine.com/
