Generally curious how people get into crypto/where they first hear about it. Also, what's a good place to start as a newbie?

Given the increasingly rapid development of the world with the internet accessed by almost everyone, the internet space is the beginning of their introduction to crypto.
For beginners who want to explore crypto outside of this forum, I think the ease of internet access will make it easier for them to start. People assume when they hear the name crypto, the information that will be described in various types of articles is Bitcoin and the top altcoins.

If you want to understand here, some of the topics that have been given can be the first step for beginners to get started.
With the willingness to read, then later knowledge about crypto will be found.
Talking about crypto, then it's privacy. Be careful and maintain good privacy.

Every journey starts with a decision to try, so Mate, feel free and go ahead and introduce yourself to any crypto that you wish to start, but before you engage yourself so far about the investment, you have to make sure that you know much about the basics of Bitcoin so that you can get different experiences with any coins that you wish to purchase.

And again, if you want to invest, invest the amount of money that you can afford to lose money, because it happens to so many people before, like those that will go and take a loan to invest.

To be honest, it's not good advice, What if you lose to the investment that you made or the time they give you from where you took the loan has reach and the coins that you bought didn't do well during that time? So my advice to you is to deepen your knowledge of Bitcoin investment so that you can comprehend all the basics of Bitcoin and it can also help you and being scammed.

there are many tutorials that they can watch on youtube or google, they can see what cryptocurrency is, what blockchain is, how to setup a wallet, and many other information. if they are too confused about it, they can ask chatgpt and i feel that what will be conveyed by chatgpt will really help them to start navigating to learn various things about bitcoin if they don't know where to start.

but of all the best places of course is this forum. not only can you see various threads that discuss bitcoin, but you can also discuss and ask things that you may still have difficulty understanding. this forum is the best place for beginners to start and you are very lucky to be able to join this forum.

I will advice you learn about the basics of bitcoin here.
Avoid FOMO, and make sure you do deep research before investing in any crypto coin. Bitcoin investment is safer, but in case you are trying to invest in altcoin, do yoyr research well.

It's easier to get in now than ten years ago because of Bitcoin news and the many companies that are using and promoting Bitcoin. Ten years ago, you could hardly watch or search for information about Cryptocurrency.

The best places to research information about Cryptocurrency are YouTube and Google. You can find tons of information on any term related to Cryptocurrency. If you are patient, you can learn many things about Cryptocurrency in a short period of time.

Someone already put a lot of links that you can read as a newbie, so that is already a good start. But regarding how people get into crypto or at least in my case, I was a freelancer before, had so many online jobs until I stumbled it somewhere and reading about Satoshi and his project.

But it was just in 2017 that I really discovered it and just like the rest of us here, that was the golden era, I would say because Bitcoin is just about to have a break out and so we see a huge jump in terms of exposure and now it is bigger than ever.

People first heard about Bitcoin in various ways. I first found out about Bitcoin(mining) in 2012-2015 because I was looking for ways to earn passive income online with zero work(lol I know). I had a very shitty laptop so after earning nothing in an hour, I simply turned off whatever mining software I used.

Then, I found out about it again in 2016 when Bitfinex got hacked. Dug deep, and the rest is history.

A good place you should start is to learn about what you actually want to start investing in, and you also need to differentiate what you want, whether it's Altcoin or Bitcoin, you want to start your journey on. If you have figured out what you want there, then you should try and learn the basics about it before you proceed, so that you can be sure of what you are investing in.

You obviously are in the best place to know about cryptocurrency and Bitcoin to be precise. Bitcoin being the king of all cryptocurrency is the main idea for the creation of this forum. But you can gain extra knowledge about other cryptocurrency here on the altcoin section of the forum. As a newbie in crypto you have to be very careful where you get your knowledge form. That because learning from a poor source or a wrong mentor at a young stage will affect your crypto journey in the as you go on. So what ever you do, try learning from the right people, which I think you will find on this forum. But be careful, having any personal discussions outside this forum with any unknown person to avoid being scammed.
