Bitcoin for beginners, explained for beginners

Last reviewed:

Bitcoin for beginners means learning what Bitcoin is and how it works before doing anything with it. The key ideas are the blockchain, the fixed supply of 21 million coins, how keys and wallets control coins, and why payments cannot be reversed. A beginner who understands these basics is far harder to scam.
