This Week’s Winners:

DarthCoin Posts

Learning Resources

The White Paper

Everyone knows about the white paper, but have you read it? Here is the pdf.

DarthCoin’s Guides

DarthCoin is a somewhat controversial figure with a manner that may take some getting used to, but I think his guides are excellent as step by step instruction. The sentence structure might be unconventional, and he may express some strong opinions, but you will learn what he has set out to teach you. Here is a link to DarthCoin’s Substack Page, where you can find all of DarthCoin’s guides: https://darthcoin.substack.com/

Radentor’s Guides

@Radentor posts some of the most comprehensive information a beginner could want. Here is a link to his posts. I expect more from him soon!

Why Bitcoin Only

Why Bitcoin Only is a massive trove of links, where you can find just about anything you’re looking for. It’s also fun to browse around.

Top Posts Of All Time

Here you will find a few of the top posts that have been posted to this territory. I am not going to adhere to a rigid zaprank system, since my purpose is to highlight content that has educational value. I will use an informal combination of zaprank and my own evaluation. For instance, some posts, though of high quality, are solely about Stacker News, and might have more appropriately originated as a meta post.
I wanted to post 'IDEA: SN Bitcoin Classroom' in this territory but at the last moment I changed my mind because I intended to listen to some senior Bitcoiners and there was also not so much educational in that post! But clearly, if I've posted it here, my post would have won by a fair margin. It is the second best last week.
However, I think it's the generosity of Stackers here.
@DarthCoin's posts are doing a very good job as far as educating noobs is concerned. I love to read them! They are like gems in a vast ocean! The pinpoint precision about Bitcoin is quite obvious in his posts.

There is a setting you can enable to hide your wallet balance, FYI :)

Thanks! I know that setting but I like to see my balance growing. It's kind of motivating!
