Yes, that's true and I agree with you that the best thing any newbie can do here on this forum is to start from his/her local board (i.e for those who own a local board here) or likewise join the country's local board that is closer to yours (i.e if only both speaks same language). Because not only do you stand the chance to learn how to buy, sell or trade Bitcoin while using your local currency, but you also get the opportunity to connect with like-minded Bitcoin enthusiast in your area to help create more awareness about Bitcoin and joining in forum discussion
