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.
