I concur with ETFbitcoin, if you're wanting to delve into the "technical" side of Bitcoin, then starting with Mastering Bitcoin is a good idea.

I'd also recommend firing up testnet (or regtest) and getting yourself some "free" coins and then simply try experimenting. Try the basics of sending/receiving... try handcrafting transactions... try multisig... try P2SH... try using the PSBT stuff... experiment with different wallets (again, on testnet/regtest) if you can.

And if you get stuck somewhere, or don't understand something, ask for help... There are plenty of knowledgeable folks around here Smiley

Please, I have come to learn about it, my questions might seem to be inappropriate, but correct me when due.
What should I need to equip myself on bitcoin technically.?
Or many more things I should know first before moving?

Well you can't learn minus reading, listening, being curious and asking questions. Every one of us here started from somewhere, with no knowledge about bitcoin but what matters is one's willingness to learn about bitcoin. There's a lot of material about bitcoin online from YouTube videos, blogs, articles to this forum's threads.

Go for it bro  Wink

I think much better learn to read first then check this very useful and big source of learning about bitcoin that you can only found here on the forum.

- [GUIDES] on Bitcointalk. Index thread (until there is a dedicated subforum?)
I have checked on these written by @loyceV, I found some interesting guidelines to what i have been searching for especially the article "how to sign in a message " and some other benevolent guidelines about legacy and segwit addresses.  I'm in a hunger situation to contribute to the discussions in this board, I felt dormant when I glance through a discussion I know nothing about. Thanks a lot for this.

Can you not just search up the answers you want or ask them here? Bitcoin stackexchsnge, this forum and the bitcoin wiki are good places to get reliable answers along with reddit probably too...

But in the end what is the percentage of those who are really interested in BTC in terms of technology and not exclusively earnings?
You nailed it.
Many people are proud that they are bitcoin enthusiasts or bitcoin/ crypto investors but they don't know any facts about bitcoin and crypto, technically.
They store their capital on exchanges because they don't know how to download, verify and install a wallet.
Don't care or don't know how to backup seeds, private keys and restore their wallets from backups.
Don't know how to sign a message.
Don't know how to get experience with Bitcoin testnet that is the thing they should do at starts.
Don't know how to consolidate their bitcoin inputs to save fees when they are in hurry with bitcoin movements.
Don't know how to choose the best time to move their bitcoin.
More facts they don't know even they spend months or hours on the forum or in crypto. It is a shame and reasons are they solely care on money, profits.
How many times they visit the Bitcoin Technical Support child board?

Being lazy to learn and finally get scammed by very simple tricks from scammers. Bitcoin Testnet. Activate, experience it, but don't trade and get scammed.

My respond
This complaints sound as if I'm the one you complaining to, I can't lie, I haven't visited Bitcoin Technical child Board. I can't even sign a message, I don't even have an experience with Bitcoin Testnet technically. This is shame on me. I admit my mistake.
