I welcome you to this forum, you don't see it as a problem at all if you are new to the forum because no matter how big or how skilled people are in a job, they are new at the beginning. You have expressed an interest in knowing about Bitcoin. Of course you can learn about Bitcoin. There is no end to know about Bitcoin. The more you know about Bitcoin, the more new things you will learn. Every job requires a newbie to learn the basics first, same with Bitcoin. You can get a full understanding of Bitcoin only when you have mastered the basics. You will find basic information about Bitcoin in the Bitcoin Discussion section. Apart from getting an idea about the basics of Bitcoin from this specific section, you can get an idea about Bitcoin investing and trading. Hopefully you will be able to learn more on your own in the future when you have an idea about these things.

Bitcoin is really beneficial to people who are into it, I don't know the mindset that you may be having concerning bitcoin as a beginner,  what just need to tell you is that Bitcoin does not make one to be rich quick. Bitcoin is very profitable when people invest in it in longterm,  and you also need to know that Bitcoin is very volatile,  you can't really tell what will happen to bitcoin price in the future . When investing in Bitcoin you should have in mind that you must hodl bitcoin to make profit from your invest, you can only get this thing right if you have the ability to exercise patience.  What you just need to know is that the market is unpredictable and you need patience hodl, with these two   understanding you can also get the benefit from Bitcoin.

First and foremost, welcome to the forum. It's great to hear your eager interest about knowing bitcoin, but that won't happen if you are not serious and is not determined to learn in the forum. So build up yourself and be as patient as you can be while going through the forum and read every topic that catches your interest. If you are not familiar with those words you encounter, then free to look for the search engine that is located at the upper right corner of the forum and type everything you want to find out.

Learning do not come easily, but you need to put maximum efforts if you aim for maximum learning. My advice is visit first the beginners and help section, that will be a perfect place for beginners who aim to educate theirselves with the basics in the forum.

Just maximize your time studying the bitcointalk forum. Explore the forum and read a lot, if you can do that, you will gain better understanding with bitcoin and on the crypto market. You don't need to put all your time studying the forum, that will make you bored later on. My suggestion is don't be too serious but enjoy your stay in the forum instead. Learning is not just all about reading and understanding, but it also comes with fun as learning becomes easier and more effective if you also enjoy what you are doing, and not because you are forced to do it because you saw the potentials of bitcoin.

 And keep this reminder, bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme. If you want to make decent profits from bitcoin, then work for it and make your current rank or position grow while trying to gain your identity and character in the forum.

This forum can be the groundwork for his learning journey as it contains the core knowledge about the bitcoin network. Spending time in this forum to read others comments can be fun it will be  time-consuming and there are other faster ways to learn about bitcoin. For a newbie having fundamental knowledge is important and there are some youtube channels that provide top-notch educational content about bitcoin. Listing on these youtube videos and podcasts can speed up the learning process, as we all know that the human brain can remember more content that he gains from listing than from reading.

First.. I want to say welcome to this space
IMO...best recomendation for newcomers to read this as a foundation, a useful topic created by @fillippone: "5 Resources to Teach the Average Joe about Bitcoin." . There are YouTube videos, articles, and writings containing fundamental knowledge about Bitcoin that I find more beneficial for newcomers and all BTC enthusiasts.

For me, it's more better than immediately focusing on how to make money with Bitcoin quickly. When you understand the basics of Bitcoin, you'll know its benefits, and from there, you'll understand how to use it. This knowledge will continue like a chain until you figure out how to earn money with Bitcoin.

Skipping directly to technical or fundamental analysis overlooks some basic steps that leave you in the dark about the initial knowledge of Bitcoin. Enjoy your learning journey, and don't hesitate to open discussion topics in this forum.

As you grow into liking the forum, please embraced the ethical rules. You need to have two horns to withstand the heat of the forum and you need to be strategic in responding to people. Don't fold and never entertain any form of bully, and be friendly to everyone.

On the bitcoin aspect, make sure that I'm everything you try to do about bitcoin, make sure that it's an open source. When an application is open source, it's gives you less room for doubt because it's a public tested application for everyone, and you have nothing to worry about. So when you want to choose wallet regardless of the company years in the market especially the hardware wallet, make sure it's an open source wallet.

My final warning is avoid anything centralized as possible, don't save your coins on any custodial platforms because when anything happens, you wouldn't be able to hold anybody responsible. They may show you that they really care about you but in reality, it's lies. So, learn to keep your coins on your personal wallet.

First of all Welcome to this forum my dear friend.
And you choose a right place to learn about Bitcoin. Because here in this forum you can get much knowledge about Bitcoin. Here is many sections which have separate purposes so you can ask question according to your problem.

You can even search more discussions topics on this forum which can give you much information about Bitcoin even you make research on videos or on other websites which can give you much more information.

And If you are thinking about investing in Bitcoin it is important to learn about cryptocurrency exchanges. These are places where you can buy and sell Bitcoin. But I will recommend buy and hold the Bitcoin and purchase a hardware wallet for more security and never store your funds in exchanges.

And one thing it is not too late to start investing in Bitcoin.  So take your time ask questions, and participate in discussions here to increase your knowledge and become part of the Bitcoin community. And when you think you are ready to invest so you should invest.

Thanks I really appreciate your good advice, please what's are the most difficult Thing forum?

People talk about Bitcoin and you get to hear about it all the time but have you asked them to give you the major tools to work with when you're in it completely? Sometimes we only hear about the positive part of it and we quickly run into it without getting to know how to grow our funds or the part of losing money.
Getting help from investors in this Forum is better than going in   just like that, the main reason why most of the people going into Bitcoin lose money too much is because they don't get the important info to help them in the crypto world.

Bitcoin is not hard to understand, only those who can't do some research will fail to understand it's potentials, I read a lot about Bitcoin using google search engine, I don't even know about this forum and there was no one to ask a lot from at the time, but this forum makes it easier for beginner to understand Bitcoin and crypto, so OP I welcome you to this forum, if you are ready to learn you will gain a lot using this forum.

Many members have already gave you the best way to start your crypto journey but I will like to give you some warnings,  do not try to look for free ways to earn bitcoin, there is none, you can do some research on this and I bet that you will see some free websites promising free bitcoin if you do some things, the truth is they will scam you.

Do not allow PM from strangers, teaching anything, they have a reason why they PM you from the start and believe me it's not a good reason, before you take any steps at all, come on this forum and ask people, do not be in rush, wait for members feedback, this will safe you from.so many traps that scammers have set for beginners like you, I hope you enjoy your stay on here.

Excellent point, buddy, but occasionally make sure to proofread your posts before posting. These are some things that new members of the forum should be aware of when they join; they should also know how their activities will progress. The most crucial thing, though, is the forum's rules, as without them, it won't feel like a serious place for them. Bitcoin is a good project with a bright future, but we should also recognise that it is an investment that requires skill, and many people aren't properly introduced to it by their friends; some friends may have pique their interest in the forum by making them feel avaricious.

I said that because, if you look at a lot of the posts made by newbies, you'll notice that many of them don't ask questions about the forum rules; instead, they ask questions about bitcoin and how to help them if they're not ready to invest right now. Learning about bitcoin is not something we should jump into; instead, we need to learn everything thoroughly to ensure that we don't make any mistakes that could cost us the money we want to invest in it.

You need to spend a lot of your time on this forum then, I like the fact that you need you will be earlier than some people in the future, many newbies don't get this so they quickly give up on Bitcoin.

The reason I suggest you should take your time reading on this forum is because you will be able to know the risks involved in crypto space, there are many ways scammers are scamming newbies because they don't know, the lack of knowledge can make you fall into the hands of scammer, any small mistake, all your BTC will be stolen.

The fastest advice I can give you goes as follow..

1. Have a job that's bringing you some money, there is no mercy for jobless people in crypto space, with money things will be a bit easier than not having at all.

2. You need a lot of patience, zero your mind from desire to make money for now, focus on learning, and if you want to hold anything as a beginner I suggest you should buy Bitcoin.

3. Before you start buying anything, you need to choose a crypto wallet, so research on open source wallet, non- custodial means you are in control of your recovery seed or private key, if you don't know what these are it's part of the reason why I said you need a lot to do research on.

4. From the money you are making from your job, you should use some percentage to dollar cost average into Bitcoin, maybe per week or month, which ever is convenient for you.

Do more research on how to keep your crypto wallet safe from hackers and scammers and also make use of the search engine on the top right corner of this forum, many questions you have might already be answered, type in anything and read through them to gain more knowledge..
