Although I disagree with much of the conversation in this thread. I do have to agree, newcomers to the Bitcoin space seem to be attacked when asking simple questions more often than not.
Instead, they should be welcomed and supported to learn the basics. It benefits everyone ultimately.
It's part of challenges we face as a Newbies, 70% of Newbies has at most 0.01% knowledge about crypto or this when they sign up so they easily get attacked because they know 0% of how things work here, among others are those with little or more basic knowledge maybe higher but few in number they easily find their way in the forum unlike the 70% .
If you are a newbie and you fall to the first tier then get ready to receive alot of rejections in your post(I won't call it as attack), this rejection might bring positive or negative correction but all you had to do is adhere to the positive ones and ignore the negative ones with time you will get used to how it all works
