What would you need to know to learn Bitcoin better?
Depends. What do you really want to know about Bitcoin? Technical stuffs? Mining? Trading?
Since you're aiming to learn how to get to your 1 BTC, you'll probably go for trading OP.
Mining requires a lot of investment for rig. I am not that familiar with the technical part of mining but I know it uses your graphics card but it should help you get to your 1 BTC goal, OP.
