I'm writing an article for CCN on how you can start using Bitcoin. As this is meant to help new people get started in the Bitcoin community, I'd like to hear what you would like to know about this topic. Please post your questions in this thread and I'll work to answer your questions in my guide. The link to my article will be posted here once it's been published. Thanks for your help!
The first 2 questions I wanted to know when I was a newbie are:
How can bitcoin work in a decentralized way?
What are the pros and cons of each of the popular wallet clients?
