DarthCoin’s GuidesDarthCoin’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 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 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 TimeTop 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.

@BitcoinAbhi has made it to the list! Amazing! He's made some good strides. Hasn't he? Also the post from @stefano was mind blowing!
You and your crew have injected some new energy into SN.
Crew! 🤗Thanks! You are calling me a captain??
I suggest you hold free and fair elections to pick a leader.
Yes, I will do it if only you become our electoral authority. The election can be fair only under your observation. Would you do it?
You mean an independent election monitor? I may be compromised
I also approve you to be our election monitor!
Although, I don't think there's anyone standing against @Coinsreporter
You’re from New York, you have not seen a clean election in 30 years.
Neither have I
Edit: I initially wrote never but never seems extreme
True
No, I believe in you!
Okay. NO absentee ballots
Thanks @Coinsreporter! I'm still a learner. There are so many good Stackers here that always are inspiring.
Nice bitcoin beginners newsletter! Happy days 🤠
Are here again?
It took me a while to get there, but I think you mean this 🤠

Bingo
Congratulations winners! This week got many amazing posts in the territory. So much to learn here! I'm deeply touched by @BitcoinAbhi's and @Undisciplined's posts.
Thanks
Thanks! You've had a great post about classroom thing lately. What happened with that? I thought I was enrolled as a student there?
Haha! First of all we didn't find teachers. Second, teachers thought that they literally had to go through the pain of planning a lesson. 😜 Third, I've got a new idea!!!
I really liked @stefano’s post. It’s great to hear the perspective of folks that came to bitcoin during bear markets.
Yep. Of course nobody announces to you that it's a bear market. I had no clue in early 2018.
Thank you so much!!
I must acknowledge, I'm surprised!
The SN community is so generous. I just asked a simple question.
Thank you for the shoutout and sats, siggy! I hope my post helps other beginners!
