Hi,

I am afraid I know relatively little about Bitcoin, but it is something that I would like to know more about. While I appreciate that I have largely "missed the bus", I feel it is something still worth learning about and possibly investing in for the long term.

Could anyone kindly give me any advice on how to get started with learning about Bitcoin please?

Thank you.

I guess you just need to spend some time reading reading in this bitcointalk forum. much knowledge you can get. and I think knowledge is something very important in the crypto world.

I agreed with you. Every one of us here starts by reading, researching and exploring bitcoin. You need to have a sufficient knowledge about bitcoin first before you start investing bitcoins. For now, just explore this thread, read some topics that you think may help you and ask some members for help. Thats the first thing I did when I was a newbie in bitcoin.

Try bitcoin as well. Open a wallet buy a little bit of bitcoin (for $15-$20) and try to send it to another wallet. That will teach you how to use wallets, how to transfer, what are the important things that you need to know if you want to do a successful transaction (especially in situations like this one today, when the mempool is full again and you have to use 400 sat/B fees to create a transaction if you want a confirmation in an hour time...)
So don't worry about it, you will learn from your own experience, but that's better than 2-3 days of reading...
