You are welcome, and it is nice to have you here with us. The first thing I always advise newbies to do is know the rules and regulations of the forum, and that will be a great guide for the newbie because someone cannot stay long here if they try to do anything silly that is against the forum rules and regulations. With that, I will advise you to read the rules of the forum well and abide by them before taking any further steps to learn other things in the forum. It will be nice for me to provide you with some links that will guide you about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general, as you said, but now the links I may  give you are what other members have provided you with, so I don't think I need to do that again. What I will say now is for you to go through those links provided for you one after the other and take your time to understand every part of them. Please don't rush when you are going through those materials, because rushing to learn may make you lose some important steps in learning about Bitcoin. And in the process of learning, you may come across something that you do not understand properly. Please don't ask questions; nobody knows. We are here to assist one another in one of two ways.
