Okay lately have being observing bitcoin development & technical discussion, and any time I try reading any thread in it, it always like I'm seeing some language I don't really understand but still found it interesting.

Concerning bitcoin technical part.
Exactly how I felt, coming on here with hopes that I could find some things that would be explained in clear simple terms but no, that isn’t what I find and it created some doubts in me. Still, you get to persevere right. Any way, it’s having to stumble on here, can already see some very useful comments, with some references on where to have a head start and hope for some understanding. That’s very helpful guys, I think I would be need those as well. I’ll go ahead to bookmark that on my device for easy referencing. Cool!
it haven't being so easy for me either have been trying to study more about it through the links provided for Mr here. And so far it has been helpful at first trying to increase the lil knowledge I have about bitcoin and now I can see some crazy improvement. If you are still interested in learning I would advise you to also try the link provided by @n0nce @BlackHatcoiner and also @Amphenomenon   Grin

Let me go ahead and quote that for some additional booking.
Here is a proper beginners guide to start learning about bitcoin.

Here's the knowledge iceberg, IMO:

Level 0: Start off by visiting bitcoin.org.
Level 1: Learn me a bitcoin: https://learnmeabitcoin.com/.
Level 2: Mastering bitcoin: https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook.
Level 3: Ask questions in here and in StackExchange. Also, study the devguide.
Level 4: Documentation of Bitcoin Core: https://doxygen.bitcoincore.org/index.html.

General course around cryptography can also be helpful: https://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/courses/OnlineCrypto/.
I strongly support BlackHatCoiner's list of resources.
For anything technical (especially since this is posted in Development & Technical Discussion), I usually refer people to https://learnmeabitcoin.com/ and https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Main_Page.

For anything 'meta' (forum-specific), this post by Lauda is very helpful: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/newbies-read-before-posting-1689727

learning about bitcoin technical is something that I find super exciting and awesome too but is not an easy task because most of my friends in this crypto space don't really understand the technical part about BTC so I wanted to learn it so that any time they are facing any issues I can be of help to them and they can call on me like captain Marvel
This is thoughtful of you, the truth is I'm also learning about the technical aspects of Bitcoin but I have not been consistent especially now, that I'm having alot to do at the moment but will be back soon.

I've seen alot of users discussing here and helping others with issues relating to bitcoin technical part, and first when I came to this forum most users told me inorder to understand this forum you got to learn and also contribute and I would love to contribute still by helping others.
I think you should have posted your question in the beginners and help section. But to answer you, the best way to understand Bitcoin is to be active in this forum. The more time you spend reading through posts, the more you'll learn.

You also need to choose what aspect of Bitcoin you want to focus on. If you're interested in the technical side, study codes and techniques used. Personally, I wasn't into coding, so I focused on understanding how the system works without delving into coding. Bitcoin has many areas, so decide where you want to specialize. Don't be swayed by what others earn from this board(merits)but rather focus on learning instead.

What are the resources required to lay strong foundation.
Concerning bitcoin technical part.
During my early age and now, when ever I wanted to understand something about Bitcoin technicalities I usually read this book Mastering Bitcoin on GitHub. It gives a fully explanation of how the Blockchain, transactions, wallet and so many other thing works. All you have to do is to try and follow along as you read through get a real wallet and try observing each thing that is being taught.

I Recommend to read this as a beginner. Then later you can journey further into other advanced aspects.

Did you later mater the technical part about bitcoin and all that.🥲 Because the wait things going is like you later give up on it and a find new aspect to focus on right

Well based on my understanding there is no special resources that are been studied to be part of the technical discussions.

I'm also a newbie interested in technical knowledge but I know what is required is a basic knowledge of coding.

learning about bitcoin technical is something that I find super exciting and awesome too but is not an easy task because most of my friends in this crypto space don't really understand the technical part about BTC so I wanted to learn it so that any time they are facing any issues I can be of help to them and they can call on me like captain Marvel

While I will take you guys opinion and advice to heart and try to be active more and more so that I can accumulate more knowledge as am accumulating more bitcoin.

And the rest of the discussion are literally in this website https://learnmeabitcoin.com/technical/ but you have to take a little time and study it.

I guess that's the stage I'm in.

Edit: you can still learn by staying active here even if you don't contribute yet but just observe you will begin to understand the terms gradually and I have my own way that in using to learn which is studying the posts of any tech poster here.
