Topic: Too much info! (Read 2753 times)
Like a newbie would know what it says
Bitcoin has a steep learning curve. It took me more than a day to just understand the very basics (create a wallet, send a transaction, make a backup, etc), and much longer time for me to really understand how bitcoin works under the hood.
As a newbie, you just need to start by learning the basics using those great links posted already, and leave those complicated stuff and jargon behind at this moment.

There is really much information so there are several approaches you can take. One is to try to fully understand all the technology, the other is to simply use it. Both approaches are perfectly fine. https://bitcoin.org is a really good resource.
watch out for scams. Everything is a scam until proven not on the forum.
Don't buy shit just because people tell you it's the best thing on earth. Always research.
So yeah I'm a newb, and trying to suck up a ton of knowledge from here. My problem is the amount of information is almost too much!
Are there any "Must read" threads (apart from the obvious stickies etc)?
This place can be quite overwhelming for someone new to BTC in general.

While amount of information is is truly overwhelming I got good advice for you and everyone else. Do not try to comprehend and read it all in one go. Remembering and learning all this stuff takes time do not rush it.
Read the bitcoin faq in the bitcoin site and don't expect to understand everything at once.
Stay around and things will become clearer every day, until you are a pro.

I have the same problem, it is so much info here, in every direction.
Don't worry, I tought the same when I was getting into Bitcoin. But slowly after asking here on forums for all the info and searching the internet for explanations, I've gathered all the information I need about btc... for now.
Here are some facts

There are some courses you might find interesting, such as the ones on Coin Academy website: http://coinacademy.co/
Also, saw this article today: http://blog.cex.io/bitcoin-talks/sources-follow-wrap-head-around-bitcoin/ - from their list, Udemy course is quite useful
That's great inspirational stuff, but it mainly tells a story of the pioneers; the film's educational role is not that big.

Other than the bitcoin whitepaper and bitcoin wiki that people already suggested, I consider the movie "The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin" a must-watch material as well. You can watch it on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpPQeeqhF3w

I am new as well and love learning all aspects. My suggestion is get a wallet and hit a handful of faucets regularly while you are learning. that way you have a tiny trickle coming in to keep you more interested and starting to make calculations

True but i would say its not wise to direct a new member to the white paper Roger
Maybe youtube is a better choice:

That is extremely long, most newbies won't bother watching that in its entirety.

Start from the basic and accumulate over time is the only way.
Most of us didn't born knowing everything.

Im still learning now after nearly 2 years, just take it slow, use a simple offline wallet like bitcoin qt and password protect it.

Oh, this stuff is pretty complicated for my small brain. Much scientific things. Can't understand it completely. For newbies probably something more straightforward is needed.

It's a wonderful paper if you want to get to know the idea, philosophy and workings behind Bitcoin, even below the actual implementation. But I think most people will want to have a straightforward simple guide that tells them about the basic things like addresses, wallets and that's it.
