It is necessary as a newbie to be very active in the Bitcoin discussion board so as your knowledge about crypto currencies' best coin and number one coin, Bitcoin, will grow enough to accommodate the knowledge of other coins, alongside the best crypto practices and procedures to follow for the ultimate benefits.
It's better for newbies to focus on learning using multiple sources instead of depending on a single source and expecting to become an expert only from one place. This forum, no doubt, is exceptional when it comes to knowledge and discussions about cryptocurrencies and stuff related to them, but that doesn't necessarily make it the only place one should be looking into when they are in their learning phase.
If you are a newbie and you have just learned about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and you want to learn more, just use Google and find articles and resources and read them. If you don't like reading much, you can use YouTube to watch informative videos about Bitcoin, its blockchain, how transactions work, how to use wallets, and everything else that you need to know before you get started with anything.
More places means more knowledge, and it also means you won't be learning wrong things since you will be able to verify every information from multiple sources.
