I also don't agree with the first point "Small amount of bitcoin to get started".

In my early days in crypto I played with Dogecoin. There are 2 great things about Dogecoin: it is very similar to Bitcoin and it's extremely cheap.

Now I know an even better option: testnet. Testnet coins are for free (you can easily google for working testnet faucets) and some of the well known Bitcoin wallets work with testnet (they need special parameters though).
The idea is: instead of investing money in order to get started with Bitcoin, one can start even for free.

Also it should be in the list: whenever in doubt search, especially at http://bitcoin.org/ and http://bitcointalk.org/ and if not found ask for help.
