How the bitcoins works?

Look no further than this topic made by fillippone, in which you will get plenty of different sources to learn everything you should know about bitcoin.Thats the one i have bookmarked too 5 Resources to teach Average Joe about Bitcoin

<...> Yes i agree that there are plenty topics/courses in the internet about this but don't you think we need a topic here dedicated for newbies ?

You seem to be right but I guess the reason for this is that it's a huge and demanding task that requires a lot of time and effort.

I tought I had explained quite well my point of view:

I often find myself in the difficult situation of answering this question:
"I heard about this Bitcoin thing, how can I buy it?"

Well, I don't like taking unnecessary risks, and buying bitcoin without knowing anything about it is, like every other "investment without knowledge" a golden path to losing your money.

So I want my mom/average Joe to have a basic understanding of what bitcoin is, before even thinking about buying some.
The problem that explaining Bitcoin is difficult; bitcoin is at the crossroad of cryptography, Economic and Monetary Theory, Game Theory, Computer Networking and data transmission. Having a knowledge on one of this fields not only is difficult, but also bias you explanation, and this might screw up the process.(if I know more about Cryptography, I would weight more this aspect, but It's not a guarantee this is the one would trigger my counterpart).

This is why I think one newbies mega-thread Is only a wishful thinking.
