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.

The best thing about my post was the amazing comments with various strategies and some considerations about privacy. That was peak bitcoin beginners in my opinion. Someone posts a question and we get wide ranging, thoughtful responses from stackers.

Yes. It was a model for what a post in this territory should be.

It is really helpful!

Only came about because you were humble and revealed your vulnerability. Some others would have shunned away from being so transparent about their “knowledge gap”.
reply
I did try to word it in such a way that I didn't look like a total noob.
"here is my strategy. give me a better one or confirm I am not a fool" was essentially the essence of the post.
Tried to be humble but still save an ounce of pride.
