Topic: How Can You Understand Bitcoin Effectively and Acquire it easily. - page 4. (Read 810 times)

the forum always comes first because there's no important update that relates to Bitcoin that doesn't come to the forum. As a matter of fact, it's more like the forum filters core information from genuine source and the good thing is that you don't just see update without people's opinion and council concerning it. You're informed and made to stay abraced with global Bitcoin related news and happenings by staying put on the forum. Other than the forum, other legit news sources like cointelegraph, coinmarketcap and some reputable exchanges also serve as legit news source.

a lot of regular blogs are fund of bringing out fake news and if you're relying on some random sources and verifying your information from YouTubers, you can easily fall for them. Most news that drops on the forum are at least 90% true and are from a reliable source. If they're not, by going through the discussion you can easily spot them out. If you find a news that has potential effect on you as a Bitcoin enthusiast, you can always verify the authenticity of that sort of news from the forum. The insight of forum members on global related news is enough to tell which is true and which is false.
 
if you're buying from the fiat in your local currency, then you should necessarily verify the extent of government regulations on crypto in your country and how it affect your buy decision. Good thing is that there are likely already existing crypto users in your country who knows good exchange you can buy from. Join your local board on the forum and relate well with them and they should give you a specific kind of guidance that will help you obtain Bitcoin seamlessly in your region.

It helps if you follow Bitcoin discussions everywhere-- here on the forum, GitHub, Reddit, Twitter, and other platforms. Bitcoin-related news sites may be good but they are prone to report exaggerations, fake news, unverified information, and the like. It's one-sided as well, so it's better to follow the news on forums and discussion platforms. At the very least, contributions are coming from many community members. Users are free to counter, refute, contradict, rebut what's being reported. The veracity of the news is constantly challenged and verified.

It also matters who to follow on social media platforms. For research and development and discussions on them, it's probably best to follow Bitcoin developers themselves. It's fun reading them debating against each other.

Yes, there may be specifics in obtaining Bitcoin locally, so it's best to specify where you're coming from. Better yet, raise your questions and concerns in your local board.
