What's the best and easiest way to learn about Bitcoin and everything around it ?

The following are the top resources that I will recommend for you to start learning from…

https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook This is a great ebook and if you can dedicate your time to read it you’ll be able to understand how bitcoin works because it also talks about the technical aspects of bitcoin.

This https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/ alongside https://developer.bitcoin.org/ can also be of help, if you have an interest in learning about the technical aspect of bitcoin. The former is a site where you can also ask questions about bitcoin and find answers to some questions that you might have.

And lastly https://learnmeabitcoin.com/

Jameson Lopp offers some of the best resources you can find online. Start with the beginner courses and work your way to the more advanced guides after that.

Imo what you have been doing is the best thing you can do for yourself here in the forum to avoid blabbing unnecessarily.

Since your becoming familiar with the forum you can use the search button regularly to find the exact thing you find hard to understand and you can look for threads from the senior colleagues especially legends to read and understand the basic things in the forum. This advise was offered by one of the senior colleagues to me too that how I'm growing too.

i find it hard to understand how everything works.

Give it time, do not be in too much hurry to understand and do not get frustrated with yourself for not quickly being able to catch up, slowly you will understand what bitcoins really are and even have more knowledge than some other people who have known about bitcoins longer than you have. If you can get serious with this forum, there is much to learn and the difference will be very obvious in the depth of your knowledge which will be deeper than that of some other people who know bitcoins but not in this forum. It is a privilege that you have.

I think one think you don't understand about the forum is that here is not the best place to learn about Bitcoin. You can learn about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency at large on other websites that are dedicated to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency learning. There are sites you can create account and they will allow you to view their contents learning about more of cryptocurrency. Bitcointalk is not a place where we can learn about Bitcoin from scratch. We need to learn someone else then come here to talk about what we know and also learn more from people that had been here for long.

I'd recommend reading through a thread or two here each day.  After you do, try summarizing what you learned and ask others if you got it right.  Going over things again and again like that can really help cement new concepts.

Here are a couple threads with good info for new members:

The best and easiest way to learn Bitcoin or any other crypto-currency for the matter is to ask questions, don't be shy to ask question from what you don't understand, there are lots of people here active and ready to advice you on that effect but I would suggest you try to take this easy and learn slowly.
First start with what's Bitcoin, you can search on any browser about that and then.
+ Bitcoin wallet (which is good for you): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5472862.msg63105882#msg63105882

+Bitcoin transaction(lighting network): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5202798.msg53122219#msg53122219

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4940536.msg44524521#msg44524521

Also do some research on how to be safe while using Bitcoin, there are lots of scammers and hackers out there.

If you want to learn or get knowledge about Bitcoin, you're actually in the right place where you can ask whatever questions pertaining to Bitcoin and you will be provided with links or be given an answer to your query which will help you get to understand Bitcoin better, there are other platforms too which can help you or which you can learn from on the internet and Google is another excellent tool to use, also try watching YouTube tutorials videos about Bitcoin on YouTube, because for some they get to understand better watching videos.
You are welcome and feel free to be part of the community.

By participating here in the forum, I guarantee that you will learn everything you need. Here we have the richest content about bitcoin available on the internet.

Research and read a lot.

[PrivacyG]

Most of the people here would give you some articles no beginner will read.  Realistically, you may get bored within minutes or the moment you realize how much you have to read.

Here is my advice.  Look up some basic YouTube videos about Bitcoin for starters.  Make it fun, not boring.  Get started by downloading a Wallet of your liking.  My suggestion is Electrum for a day 1 beginner.

Install it, write that seed down ON A PIECE OF PAPER.  Not on a TXT file.  Not on your E-mail.  Not on your Notes App.  On paper!  And when you are done, start looking up any thing you do not understand.  Research any thing that may interest you and tip of the decade is LEAVE ALTCOINS ALONE!  You do not need them and no, they will most likely not get you Rich.  Stick to Bitcoin and learn as much as you can about it.

The first thing is to learn the terminologies of Bitcoin.  That is the basic things to do when you are starting to study Bitcoin.  The importance of learning terminology is that you will be not confused and can easily understand when the words are used.  You can have this site[1] as reference and study the definition of each term used in Bitcoin.

You can also try to watch simplified Bitcoin videos to educate yourself.  A simple search in Youtube can bring you lots of results, but I think anyone can understand Bitcoin more if they are able to identify the terms/words used and its definition.

Try this new method of learning about Bitcoin. You may not have the time to read through all the links for one reason or the other. This method which hasn't been mentioned will give you a good headstart.

Go to YouTube and search for Bitcoin interviews. Click on the first one with the highest number of views. It is one of  the easiest, laziest, and fastest ways to learn about Bitcoin.

I hope the OP is not in a hurry to learn about this market, because he is thinking that he can get rich quick from knowing about it.
It is not an overnight task to learn all about btc, the terms alone would take time for him to grasp its meaning.
But in any case, he has this beginners section to roam around and read for himself. It is free to read anyway.
Also, if he really wants to experience how it feels to make the first btc transaction, better use spare amount of money, so if he made a mistake, he won't be regretting about this market.

Best is to take time reading the threads here that have been pinned. Those are topics related to Bitcoin which is designated for the newbies to know more about bitcoin, wallets, etc.
Easiest is the same as the best, if you think that you want to learn bitcoin the easiest. Then, with simple words like it's an internet money that has wallets that you need to download is the simplest and easiest way to learn about it. So, if you want to learn about it, whether you will take the best or easiest path. The best thing for you is to dedicate time in reading with all the resources that have been dropped here and good luck and welcome to this beautiful community.

Hope you are enjoying your stay on the forum, but as far as learning about crypto goes...there is always something new to learn about this technology and this challenge will always be there ,meaning no easy route...
And not to burst your bubble you don't want any easy way out with this as learning about bitcoin is a gradual process, a lifestyle at its best...it's not like some novel or car manual you read and you done with it, no...you need to be in touch with this tech and constantly reading and researching about it and before you know it you will have a great deal of information about it and in no time help others in need of such info..

Otherwise best and easiest way to learn about Bitcoin is this forum and you can accelerate this knowledge with the help of YouTube and Google.

OP, as long as you ask AI and post answers here that are not written by your hand and mind, you will not learn anything, neither about Bitcoin nor about anything else. AI forces a person to turn into the same thoughtless creature, which, after a post about protecting Bitcoins and using hardware wallets, forces the owner to create a topic about ignorance of the basics.
Ask yourself: Is there any logic to your question after you wrote this post? Who are you trying to fool?

To keep your Bitcoin safe, use hardware wallets for cold storage, enable two-factor authentication on exchanges, regularly update software, and keep private keys offline. Consider using reputable wallets and staying informed about security best practices.

The use of AI is not approved by the forum. And you are its true user.
