I don’t know whether it is me, but I do see a clear distinction between ~Bitcoin and ~Bitcoin_beginners. Or at least in the way I use it.
I post my reviews on how I use various apps like Fountain/Solitaire/Simple Bitcoin etc. The apps that don’t yield a lot of sats in the first place but nonetheless hold appeal for beginners to Bitcoin. I would be embarrassed posting about them in ~Bitcoin, but since there is ~Bitcoin_beginners, I thought my reviews would help those who just stumbled upon SN and are wondering the next step they can take to stack more sats.
When I wanted to ask something about Nostr, I posted it on ~Bitcoin because I doubt people who patronise ~Bitcoin_beginners would have heard of Nostr, much less used it. I remember browsing through the posts on r/Bitcoin before - and feeling shocked that so-called Bitcoiners are not aware of Nostr. But the good folks on ~Bitcoin will be able to help me.
I think the confusion stems from the fact that we all probably interpret beginners differently. After all, if we hold a lifelong learning attitude, we are perpetual beginners, regardless of our experience and expertise. But for me, I have a clear mental image of beginners. I think back to the time when I first encountered SN, just eager to stack sats in ANY WAY POSSIBLE. Even used satsforlikes for 1 measly sat haha.
@siggy47, you have already published a comprehensive list of useful resources for beginners. Maybe encouraging Stackers to expound on the content in each issues will help define the identity of this territory better. Examples of issues can be:
  • moving from custodial to non-custodial wallets
  • running your first node
  • getting paid in sats from your own content
My 2 sats’ worth
Good advice. Thanks.
