Welcome aboard, i am always pleased seeing a new member join the forum.
Firstly you should familiarize yourself with the forum protocols since you will be spending most of your time here to develop your bitcoin knowledge. Learn about the rules and regulations of the forum and also you need to be prepared for some criticism that may come your way in case of any you should know that they are meant to make you stronger and not pull you down.

Learning about bitcoin requires dedication, you need to read more and post less to improve your knowledge. I can see some members have shared with you some resources already they will help you.

I would recommend these website/book as a starting point,
https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook
https://learnmeabitcoin.com/

You may find the answers to any questions you may encounter on this forum or at https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/ So you can try using https://ninjastic.space/search to carry out search on this forum instead of using the default search tool.

I would have love to give you more materials to go through but I guess you have to make use of the above materials provided by SatoPrincess first and one thing is common asking for materials is simple but using them is always difficult, I urge you to try and go through them properly.

Another thing I would advise you is to go through all the pinned threads in each boards, you will have insights on how to go about those boards through the pinned threads.

The link given by SatoPrincess is good enough materials to give you knowledge about Bitcoin. Always verify any information you read or watched.  The internet has lots of fakes so better to verify that information before believing them.

As a beginner, if you wanted to take part in the Bitcoin community, I believe learning the basics is a must.  Be wary of scams and frauds that are lurking around the Bitcoin community.  Don't involve yourself in any offer that is too good to be true, 100% of them turned into a scam.

Check whether Bitcoin is legal to your country to avoid unnecessary problems.  It is ok to use centralized exchanges but never store your coins in them.  Not your keys, not your coins.  Make sure to move your holding to a non-custodial wallet to avoid unnecessary problems caused by exchange hacks and exchanges turning rouge issues.  You can check some basic information about several non-custodial wallet services here: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet.

Also, be aware of fake crypto exchanges and other scam services that mimic legit ones, know more information in these links:

There are so many given resources (forum threads, websites, etc) for OP to kick off learning about Bitcoin. I believe it would take from several days to some weeks for OP to read all of them. It might be a little overwhelming but I would like to give OP some extra resources to read, when have time, to debunk fud against Bitcoin.

I have seen plenty links already in this thread OP, all you need to do right now is to start creating time for yourself to study all the Links, because they contain important knowledge which it can guide you through out of your staying in this community. Make sure you read the rules and regulations that governed the community before continue posting, because that is what will make you not to post anyhow in the posting section in the community, because if you break the rule that governed the community, you will definitely face the punishment no matter your position in this community. As a newbies, do everything possible to avoid anything that will stop you not to have skills of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, because there are some rewards for those that will obey the rules and regulations that governed this community to grow their account, which you can also get to such stage in this community, if you can maintain a good contribution to the community.

Welcome to bitcointalk forum where all Bitcoin and varieties of Crypto currencies are be discussed strickly on basics and facts.

Assorted links containing valuable materials to lead you all through in your Bitcoin quest has been provided to you by other members, just read all through as much as you can for the more you read the more your mind would be ignite with optimism until then, you could make research by yourself based on your interests supposing to be within where you get your path complicated.

Still yet, do not expect to be a sudden expert in a quick period of time and remain to compare informations either by research or consultants for verifications before you out to action because some mistakes in this Bitcoin journey and in both this forum may not be revisable such as your funds in your wallet being stolen in one way or the other or you tends to bridge the forum policy such as plagiarisms or spamming.

In both scenarios, there is usually detriments of consequences along, so, always be careful at all cost and do well stay connected on the forum to express yourself out.

Welcome to the forum, there's really no tricks, just stay focused and don't fail to make use of every useful tools and resource materials that have been made available to you by forum members as your development and wealth of knowledge to engage in quality and meaningful discussions in the forum boards are largely depended on it in this your early stage. Everything about bitcoin you will find it in this community but even as that, you should from time to time making your own research about informations verifying their authenticity, doing that will actually help you discover new developments in the crypto space yourself that are not yet updated in the forum. Don't be that newbie that accepts everything he's thrown at to be truth to avoid blending junks with quality.

[Text]

Build the basics and understand cryptocurrencies by starting with familiarizing yourself with the general concept: what are they, and how do they work? Then, dive deep into Bitcoin.

Learning resources such as articles, videos, books, and online courses will also be helpful. Get involved with wallets, exchanges, and communities.

Tips and tricks? Be skeptical, learn about security, and start small.

Another thing I would advise you is to go through all the pinned threads in each boards, you will have insights on how to go about those boards through the pinned threads.

This has been my concern too. Op made this post yesterday and he’s been online today in the early hours thou but there’s no any feedback from him concerning the materials and website that were shared here in order for us to know that he’s serious to learn and following up with the thread.

By the way, I’m not saying he has abandoned the thread but that is the case with majority of newbies creating threads like this. Some might probably not visit the thread again after it creation. Following up and giving feedback create room for more helpful information to be shared by people that have it.

To op, in case you’re seeing this, most necessary materials have been made available for you under this thread and they’ll definitely be of help if you make use of them properly. My little cent of advice for you is that you shouldn’t be in haste to make money from this industry of digital currency, dedicate your time to learn first and possess some knowledge before you begin. It’s nice to have you here with us, however, it would be nicer to keep to the rules guiding this community.

The ideal place to start your Bitcoin journey is in Bitcointalk. I will suggest you become committed to reading the information in this forum. There are no tricks or shortcuts to becoming a successful Bitcoiner. Just like every other field, you need to put in some level of hard work and commitment. Besides the forum, you can also find valuable resources on social media and other platforms. But you have to verify the information you get before putting them into practice. You can check out learning materials from Andreas Antonopoulos, he has some quality teachings on Bitcoin.

I don't know what are your goals and aspirations, but you need to know that Bitcoin is not a means to get rich quickly nor is it a Ponzi scheme. To benefit from the sector you need to be a knowledgeable and patient investor.

Remember to take few minutes of your time to read about the forum rules

Forum rules are many and complicated enough so a few minutes is for a first reading time. It is helpful to get an overview on forum, its rules but to actually understand all rules or just most of rules, it takes more than one reading round and requires patience of reading and absorbing the document.

Of course you can ask questions, but if you are person that don't rely on anyone and wanted to learn everything by yourself, then it might be better that way.

By reading, exploring the forum, asking around, OP will learn many new things every day. Even old members sometimes discover new things even forum rules which they did not know or understand correctly over a long time of experience here.

Don't hesitate to read and ask, but remember that reading and searching first, before asking.

Yeah you are right and I just used the word few minutes to remind the op that he needs to know about the rules, as someone who is new to a place it is the responsibility of the person to read and understand the rules and regulations of the place even in local meetings the rules are presented to all members and when their is a new member the rules are given to them to go through and it becomes their responsibility to always go through it any moment of their time.

The Op can't know everything in a hurry so he or she needs time to understand everything and sticking around the forum will help him to understand the rules and regulations even as he will learn more new things especially things that are Bitcoin related.
