I'm a little new to the shares world, can I get this explained to me like a 5-year-old? Sorry for the inconvenience but I would like to buy in if it's a good option, but I'm not sure where to start. I love bitcoin and support everything it stands for, but if it doesn't start to become a little more easy to understand and handle, then that will only slow it down for mainstream adoption. Although I'm not a genius, I'm also not an idiot, and the learning curve here for the non-economic and non-techy types like myself is tremendous...

Need a better question format
But I would suggest reading a few articles from Moneysense or Investopedia to get started
Before even considering trading you should determine what type of trader you are

For ASICminer related stuff try the google doc or various other links

Thanks freedomno1, I'll check them out...

My personal favorite is the Wealthy Barber for a really simple way to explain it like a 5-year old but not sure where to find that Url
Best of luck though
