Before getting started with Bitcoin, there are few things you actually need to understand. First you need to know that the Bitcoin ecosystem allows you to exchange and transact money in so many different ways than you normally do. so before using Bitcoin for any serious transaction, you should be well knowledgeable about how the Bitcoin system works and be fully aware of the problems associated with the fiat system.
Also note the following
1. Note that Bitcoin transaction are irreversible. Therefore one need to be extra careful while doing transaction.
2. The price of Bitcoin is still volatile i.e it does not have a fix price for it market price.
3. It requires your own effort to protect your Bitcoin.
There is no need to start one thread to mention the general things that constitute basic knowledge about bitcoin - this has been discussed in many places and basic knowledge about bitcoin can be learned in many source. I appreciate it more your desire to start a thread if you broke down the basics one by one into something more interesting to discuss than just mentioning few points. But considering that you are a beginner/ newbie - then I understand that some users are not that creative.
Friendly tip for you - don't focus on starting thread only if you want to get attention as if you will be merit - but focus on increasing your knowledge even if you don't post much. It is better to read and learn a lot of things when you are a beginner/ newbie than to write a lot of things that you may not know yourself.
