Some years ago I have heard about Bitcoin and it's great impact,but I did not have interest on it,but now I have come to develop interest on it.
As a novice I just want to know little or more about Bitcoin and how it can help and add value to life,as a matter of fact I humble myself not to know anything,and am here to learn as a beginner.I believe that it will also impact my life in the later.

You are highly welcome op, just believe you have come to the right place especially when it turn to time of help about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency generally. Try to read those materials given to you and make sure you start from page one and don't try to jump any page and will so helpful and if don't understand any step don't be shine to ask questions, everybody is here to learn.

Know that you can't understand everything over a short period of time, so take your time and study it well so you can also be answering some few questions you understand in this forum and that will surely increases you knowledge about Bitcoin. Always try to do alot of research by also watching some YouTube tutorials.

I also started like you and I am very excited with my current journey because am here to provide more security to my Bitcoin and that is why I don't ask questions always but always follow this forum and actually see what people are saying about Bitcoin.

I came on the forum just like you at OP. Not knowing much of bitcoin aside from the fact that, I've heard it on the lips of a few forks, seen it on a couple of flyers and the few times it made the news which is always on the negative. Not until I picked interest based on certain constraints i observed in the life of someone I knew all too well.

Coming down to the forum, I was blank, knowing not what to place importance or how to follow up on discussions but I did. Slowly but steady it all kept coming together. I picked in on the terminologies, concepts and my knowledge on crypto got better and better.
How, I became more involved on the forum and tried to be interested in discussions I could understand, asked a few questions and did little researches off forum. Am still on that part though and I feel if you tread that way, it might help your understanding too.

Good decision, two things got me interested about your post, first you've come to learn and secondly you choose right with bitcoin, there's no argument about how newbies got distracted by other cryptocurrencies in a bid to search for the best and recommendable one for an investment, while coming to this forum is also a good advantage to serve you a learning ground to build up yourself with bitcoin knowledge, try to read and study discussions from the bitcoin boards and follow the recommendations given as well through links to learn more.

I know from your experience you've heard a lot about bitcoin and how it works so what i would like to suggest is to carefully devote your time study around the forum most especially bitcoin discussion section there are more to learn over there and i believe any forms of question and technical issues is over there so you don't need to spam this sections by asking a repeated question rather i would advised you to read maybe if it happens you don't find your questions before you could raise a thread of discussion otherwise it maybe considered as spamming and your post or thread might got deleted.

Especially very early on, you're honestly better off taking in information off-forums. Bitcointalk is great for asking non-redundant questions and for discussing certain topics, but definitely not great as a starting medium for beginners in my opinion.

OP, we were once newbies, and everyone came to bitcoin at different times. Therefore, the fact that you are here does not consider it an accident; it means that you are making the right choice.
But don't forget that this is a Bitcoin forum. A sincere desire to study it is valued here. It is not necessary to create many new topics on other issues if you came for knowledge. The history of your posts is visible to the entire community, so honesty will be your reputation. Read the forum rules and join the exciting journey into the world of bitcoin.

There are some resources I can share

Jameson Lopp's website
- Bitcoin resources
- Lightning Resources
- The first thing you must spend your time to learn and practice is choosing, installing, verifying and using a Bitcoin wallet to store your bitcoin. Always try to backup your Bitcoin wallet and use the backup to recover your wallet.
- Non-custodial wallets are better than custodial wallets because you have full control of your coins (by controlling your private key, wallet seed)
  - Recommended wallets
Andreas M. Antonopoulos' books
Little Bitcoin Book
The bullish case for Bitcoin

If you love educational videos, you can watch them on Youtube channels

Antonopoulos' Youtube channel
- Bitcoin for Beginners: Intro to Bitcoin, Satoshi, Mining and more
- Bitcoin Q&A

Make sure you download legit Bitcoin wallets - but don't forget to verify wallet before storing your bitcoin in it. In addition, make sure what you buy is real Bitcoin, not Bitcoin forks, not Bitcoin Testnet.

You begin with a good step if you felt don't anything about bitcoin. you will begin to learn and ask here to make sure your wish is known by all. but, how deep did you know?, have you learn basic such as wallet, security and how to sign message?

Welcome mate!!!
It will be a long journey learning everything about Bitcoin. And also it will take longer to understand its functionality and various improvements. To limit the process you need to own some Bitcoin because it is more difficult knowing what is not acquired after which send it across different wallets, try pick out the difference in transaction fees across this various wallets and how long it takes a block to be mined. While you move those tiny pinch of bitcoin across different wallets also monitor the difference in transaction fees, What kind of wallets allow you setup seed phrases and the wallet that requires KYC for its setup. All this can be revealed on:

First of all, welcome to bitcointalk forum, there’s no better bitcoin community on the internet to start your crypto journey. The forum is over a decade old and there are lots of guides and useful information that are available here for free. It will be to your advantage to learn how to use the forum search engine, so you can easily find threads that will help answer most of your newbie questions. You can also source for materials and information about bitcoin outside the forum, but be careful about crypto investments. When searching for bitcoin YouTube videos or podcast, I suggest you first take a look at Andreas Antonopoulos videos and online books.
