Alright folks. Our friend @Wenze gave me the idea that despite there being amazing Bitcoin resources out there, there isn't really a consensus place to send an absolute newbie who just got their first sats to walk them through the stages of what the fuck is bitcoin/sats, what do I do with it and on through to the depths of the rabbit hole.
So many bitcoiners have done amazing work creating educational resources. I think we should utilize what exists, distill it, curate it, and create an absolute newbie friendly tutorial/resource and I think it should be called "So, you got some Bitcoin- What now?" (or maybe now what).
Wanted to reach out to the SN community to get ideas to help create this or you can all tell me it's a really stupid idea, a waste of time, what we have is good enough, etc. Regardless, if you like the idea and want to be involved in the development of such a resource, let's start with the framework of what to cover and what sequence to cover it. Leave your thoughts below.
Cheers, GR
The ideal UX for onboarding is probably a human encyclopedia with the non-judging nature of a therapist.
Given that people like that are in short supply ... I think someone should take all those resources you mentioned, train a chat bot on them, and release that.

Interesting. Maybe it's not a tutorial at all. Maybe it's a chatbot named Satoshi and we just send newbie's the link to it.

I like that idea! There is so much material to train it with that it can be great. This one is not suitable but wanted to share it anyway: https://www.talk2satoshi.com/

I love to send 10$ on lightning to someone new using Phoenix, breez, muun or something non custodial and ask them to buy something on bitrefill or a article on yalls.org

How about one patterned after The Odin Project?
Seems really popular amongst the programming community. It's well designed and walks you step by step through a learning by doing journey.

fortunately there isnt a quick way (PoW of learning is a necessity and there is no way around it)
here is my material (ppt. designed for Bitcoin educators) that you can download and use

Thanks for the PoW! I also love Anil’s decks: https://anilsaidso.gumroad.com/

My 2 cents: It's a great idea. If @DarthCoin is still around, he probably has some good suggestions. I will think about it and hopefully come up with some thoughts too.

I find this web very creative into walking through a total newbie https://bitcoin.rocks/

It's great.

Don't you think his suggestion will be to read some guides of him?
reply
My guides are NOT enough and mostly not for total noobs. My guides are only a guidance for those that already know something but they need to go deeper or learn about more specific cases. I didn't wrote very basic stuff, just because there are plenty of them, out there. Nevertheless on the main page of my substack I put all the resources links that my readers should go an check, many of them are exactly for those newbies.

Ah ok, thanks for clarifying!
