Wow, what a subject you brought up. Personally, I got acquainted with bitcoin not so long ago, as apparently you. I learned in 2011.  unfortunately I didn't know how to mine it. for me it was quite difficult. Where to buy bitcoin was also difficult for me to understand. I've been watching this happen for years. And only in 2016-2017 I earned the first bitcoins by placing an advertising code on my website.
