Well welcome to Bitcointalk mate, it nice having you here. There nothing to be confused about here mate. This is the world of decentralization. To clear things a bit for you, I will recommend you go through the Bitcoin white paper by it original creator, Satoshi Nakomoto https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-paper it has been translated to over 43 languages so if you aren't an English speacker, you can try checking out if you local language is amongst the translated versions.

Here's also a Bitcoin book on GitHub, you may also want to check out https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook#chapters
Feel free to ask any questions you find confusing here on the forum, there are tons of experts here to put you through.

[Mr.suevie]

Welcome mate,

Well I understand how the forum can be especially if you are a newbie here but you can check out the pin thread up top of this board for some clarity and try this if it would help Abit

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1629118.0

And I would like to encourage you more on asking of questions because questions are actually the gateway to many solutions and new ideas too so your stay here should also be the one filled with lots of questions and trying making some research out by yourself and compare the answers you get here in the community.

Welcome to the forum, and it's indeed a forum for bitcoin, and you can get your answers regarding things that you are not familiar with here. Just ask the question, and people will answer you.
 
First, before you think about benefiting from Bitcoin, I will advise you to learn how what you want to benefit from works first so that you don't get more confused than you already are right now. So I will like you to browse through the forum, use the search option, and search for familiar questions like the history of bitcoin, how it works, it's nature, and you will have a lot of material to study about it.
 
Another thing is that don't conceive in your mind that you can make fast money from bitcoin, as that might end up misleading you and you getting disappointed by the result. It's a means of investment, but the profit doesn't come real quick. Only those who are patient enough to hold for long enjoy the reward, so whatever you do, don't add get rich quick as one thing you want to enjoy from it.

You are in the right place. Bitcoin was really started here, and even thr history coyld be discerned here. Well wr have a lot of section to focus with, and bitcoin discussion is the best hub for that. But since you are a newbie, then might as well focus on Beginners section cause upon interacting here, you might engage with such rules and regulations.

Later on all details will be clear to you including technicalities and history of bitcoin.

[Potato Chips]

You can try to start with https://learnmeabitcoin.com/ and https://bitcoin.org/en/ as they are beginner friendly.

In case you wanna look for more resources, try at https://www.lopp.net/bitcoin-information.html

How can you benefit from the technology? depends on what you want/can. I myself went with the easy route of just hodling in hopes for the value to increase over time and as a fall back plan for the growing inflation.

Before thinking on how to benefit from it, maybe learn what it is first.

Welcome to the forum, The_funnycrab

I get that the website can seem confusing at first.  It is basically an online chatroom where people talk about Bitcoin and crypto.  Theres thousands of users on here discussing about all kinds of stuff  and  I was confused too when I first found it. 

But you already found the Beginners & Help section, so that is a good start.  Just check around the threads and see what people are talking about.  Reading through some of the conversations can help you learn the basics better than anything else.  This place is great for newbies who want to put in the time to understand cryptocurrencies.  As you start to get it, you can join in the talks, ask your own questions and help out others. 

It just takes time and effort to wrap your head around this stuff.  But the more you learn, the more you can contribute to the community here.  Were happy to help newcomers figure it all out.

Please I want to reply the chat of other members and put it inside a box like the way other are doing so I can properly express myself better and give better details to what I want to highlight.

That's a good observation mate, for a newbie and I think this is pretty simple. Just click the quote button in the actual reply of the person you want to reply and edit out the actual chat you don't want and then write at the bottom of the chat and then post the reply of yours.

[jrrsparkles]

Please I want to reply the chat of other members and put it inside a box like the way other are doing so I can properly express myself better and give better details to what I want to highlight.

Just click the quote button of the post that you want to reply which you can find in the left top corner of that post.

 

Then type your reply that you want to then click the post button at the bottom of the box.

If you want to reply to multiple posts in one then just do then copy all those posts into one box with respective quotes and start write your reply to each one at the end of [/quote].

Please I want to reply the chat of other members and put it inside a box like the way other are doing so I can properly express myself better and give better details to what I want to highlight.

If you still don’t understand how the quoting works then I’ll recommend one of the best tutorials you’ll see online, which is a tutorial video by steamtyme: Bitcointalk.org - Post Formatting

[Coyster]

Please I want to reply the chat of other members and put it inside a box like the way other are doing so I can properly express myself better and give better details to what I want to highlight.

Just click on the "quote" button next to the post you want to reply to, and then make your own post below "[/quote]", mind you that you don't have to quote the entire post you're replying to, clear out the part you don't need and leave only what you want to reply to. If you want to reply to all what the user posted, but their post is long, clear it all out and replace it with something like "snip". Here is a thread on how to avoid pyramid quote: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3749076.msg37016589#msg37016589

so I asked for link of Bitcoin website this one was given to me.

This isn't a Bitcoin website per se, this is a Bitcoin discussion forum. Bitcoin doesn't have a website.

Please all I want to know Is the basics and how can I benefits from this Bitcoin that is exploding everywhere.

What do you want to benefit from Bitcoin, do you want to be your own bank? Or you were told you can become rich overnight through Bitcoin?

There are lots of ways to get benefits in Bitcoin you can start by buying and holding Bitcoins I don't think you still need a book to read by just holding BTC but for safety, you need to learn how to make a cold storage wallet check this link below.

Or if you want to be a developer then there is a good source to learn about developing Bitcoin check this link below also don't forget to scroll down to the bottom for more books to learn about Bitcoin.

You are welcome here, and I believe those who linked you here do so because they believe this is the right place for you to come. This is the place to learn about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and it is also where you will find some people who can help you understand it. I also think that if you don't do anything wrong or violate the forum's rules, you will be okay.

Please I want to reply the chat of other members and put it inside a box like the way other are doing so I can properly express myself better and give better details to what I want to highlight.

This is awesome mate, I think giving this to him is the best way, even though he can also understand what others are saying, I think this is the simplest way for him to understand very well, because as a newbie he will be confused with some things in the forum and occasionally he will not want to do anything that will make him in violation of the forum's rules, So, based on my observations, this is the best way for every newcomer to learn more about forums, as most newbies occasionally find it challenging to understand certain concepts, such as how to quote, reply, or add an image to a post.

[bitnote]

I know three good sources:

Learn me a Bitcoin

Bitcoin Book: Mastering-bitcoin(Github)

It depends on what you've heard about bitcoin, and the kind of benefits your expecting to get. Bitcoin is decentralized digital currency, that has value's. There are two major factors in bitcoin you can easily benefit from. You can start by learning how to trade cryptocurrency and bitcoin in particular. You can as well,  get a good amount of bitcoin and get hold of it for a while, till the price you got it for goes up and that makes your investment increase in value.

Please all I want to know Is the basics and how can I benefits from this Bitcoin that is exploding everywhere.

First off, start with the basics and only think of how to benefit when you know what and how Bitcoin works, the worst thing that can happen to you is picking the wrong wallet to store your Bitcoin, not knowing how to secure your Bitcoin, and doing transaction in a wrong way, the forum has enough information on everything you want to know about Bitcoin, all you have to do is to roam around, get familiarize on every section of this forum.

I always recommend first  Bitcoin Whitepaper for those who are interested to know everything about Bitcoin and this pinned post here  Beginners & Help Bitcoin Wallets - Which, what, why? .
