The first and foremost will be "Bitcoin Blockchain" of course. Then comes, "Seed Phrase", "Coins & Tokens", 'Cold & hot wallet", "Public/private keys", "CEX & DEX". I mean there are so many terms that I can think of, but imo, newbies should first, start with Bitcoin, how it's build, terms around it, then different typo of wallet, then about seed phrase, and how to store BTC, what it means to be custodial and non custodial, the exchanges, those things. As far as remember, when I first got myself involved with Crypto, I didn't made any research or anything, I just created my first non custodial wallet. That's how it all started I believe..

You can dump some of the key words from this site: https://www.learnbitcoin.com/glossary and use your own definitions and explanations..

site derived from this thread : New Resource:Learn Bitcoin Glossary .

There’s another thread on Beginners and help with some listing bu I can’t reach that, probably you can take your time going through pages or using some tools.

Thanks for dropping by, but I'm not asking for a link. What I'm asking is

Maybe you did not read the thread content, only the title.

Newbies should first understand these 5 cryptocurrency terms.

Wallet: All types of wallets,  open source and closed source. Knowing what wallets are will give them an idea of how to store their coins.

Private Key: Understanding what a private key is will help them understand how to secure their coins.

Address: This is the wallet identifier. Understanding what an address is will make them understand where to send and receive coins.

Transaction Confirmation: Understanding how transactions work will help them set up the right fee and determine when the right time is to send.

Mining: Understanding how mining works will help them understand the core of how cryptocurrency works.

These 5 terms are very important for newbies, and these are the subjects being taught on videos for newbies.

Send me at least 5 of your own that you think newbies should learn first

If you ask senior and experienced members about it, it's unlikely they will give you helpful answers.

The question needs to be asked with newbies and answers need to be given by newbies for the most newbie-matched demand.
If you want, you can set a rule for this topic such as only Newbies are allowed to post here with their 5 most favorite terms by each newbie. Are you ready for doing that?

Thanks for dropping by, and why not if you are a knowledgeable person in cryptocurrency and you are teaching a newbie, what are the 5 terms that you want them to learn first

I make it open even to the advanced, because they experience teaching a newbie, or they are already advanced and just want to share what the terms that they should have learned first to fully understand cryptocurrency when they were newbies.

[rat03gopoh]

and you are teaching a newbie, what are the 5 terms that you want them to learn first

• Technical (basic terms):
  
  Address
  Private Key/Seed Phrase
  Wallet
  (Network) Fees
  Confirmation (n-times)
  
  Then, if someone comes to me interested in:
  
• Investing:
  
  DCA
  ATH
  Halving Cycle
  Bull/Bear Season
  HODL
  
  
• Trading:
  
  Stablecoin/Altcoin/Memecoin
  CEX/DEX
  Technical/Fundamental Analysis
  Spot/Derivatives Market
  KYC

[Dareo]

For my part, I would suggest these.

• Wallet Security
  
  • Multisig
  • Watch-Only Wallet
• Transaction Basics
  
  • UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output)
  • Change Address
• Advanced Wallet Features
  
  • Coin Control

Although most beginners learn about wallets, private keys, and seed phrases first, which is important. However, I think these terms deserve attention as well because they help users understand how Bitcoin actually works behind the scenes.

Importance of Jobs aka Source of income before any investments.
Desire for cryptocurrency in general, this keeps them in shape for always wanting to learn more.


Knowing what Bitcoin truly is, everything else comes later, like Ethereum and others.
Knowing what Blockchain is.
Knowing what cryptocurrencies are.

They also need to know the difference between Bitcoin and Altcoins.
They need to also understand what Satoshi is 0.00000001 BTC

The next thing is wallet and self custody.
Seed phrases and private keys.
Public Key and wallet addresses.

Buying and selling of coins and tokens via Exchanges.
Difference between Dex and Cex
Market Order and Trading pairs, ETC.
KYC, Liquidity and Slippage.

There are things to know about transactions too.
Difference between transaction fees and gas fees (this took me a long time to know).
Mempool and others.
Blockchain confirmation and Transaction hash.

Here is a list of threads that has been in existence I this forum that discusses Bitcoin and cryptocurrency terminologies.

• Ethos’ Alphabetical Guide to Cryptocurrency Definitions and Metrics (by bitmover)
• A few cryptocurrency abbreviation (by COOLCRYPTOVATOR)

• Important terms that are frequently confused. (by odolvlobo)
• Cryptocurrency Lingo/Slang (by theyoungmillionaire)
• Terminology (by yogi)

Most of them haven't changed since 2024, so you might need to add 5 or 10 terms that appeared in 2025 to have a complete list.

[Dreadboost]

Seems you didn't get enough, and the thread is still open for more

When I was basically a beginner, these terms confused me a lot. Self-custody, Privacy, Anonymity, and Decentralisation. The terms have some things in common, but if a newbie dont understand what they mean, one term might be confused for the other.

Forgive me for dropping 4 instead of 5 as you requested.

• Ethos’ Alphabetical Guide to Cryptocurrency Definitions and Metrics (by bitmover)

Man, this is so old.

One of my first posts, from 2018.

How things changed in the forum, in crypto and even I me.

Checking it and the post is non-existent, yes, so many things have changed, and so many new terms have been created. I'm trying to extract the latest updates on the terms. Many terms are still in use and very popular, and many won't go out of style or will remain relevant. One of these is the word HODL

[Tonimez]

This is a nice initiative if you can get all the terms together and make it in a pamphlet. It will be a useful tool if someone can open a single post and see almost all the terms he or she needs to succeed in bitcoin investment as a beginner. Okay, most of these terms are contained on the shared links already but for the sake of this thread, I will mention some of the terms which I think are always in use on a daily basis both among the experienced and the beginners. Below are some of them...

Discretionary income
Emergency funds
Backup funds
Reserved funds
Dip
Bear season
Bull run
Investment
Trading
DCA
Lump-sum
Buy the dip
Seed phrase
Proof of work
Proof of stake
Two factor Authentication

You can pick from here. I will suggest that you make your glossary in an alphabetical form too.

[tabas]

I won't go with the technical words but these words were popular before but we start not to see them anymore and some casual words that we use. Although recently, I've read some of it from the forum and also in other websites.

• moon
• lambo
• skyrocket
• dump
• pump

A few which i can think of, it may not be just what a newbie might inspire to learn first, but they are helpful terms, technically.

1. BIP - Bitcoin Improvement Proposal

2. RBF - Replace By Fee

3. CPFP - Child Pays For Parent

4. UTXO - Unspent Transaction Output.

Why don't you create some sorts of survey for the forum generally if you are gonna be using words from newbies then that should be feasible all you'll have to do is compile the most repeated ones and then you should be good to go. For something like this if you are even gonna be using an AI it should do this easily.

Another thing you can try is to check the word tree on the forum you should be able to scrape it from a couple of local boards or possibly you can just pick some boards instead.
