You Aren't Newbies Anymore - Understanding Bitcoin Q&A for OG Bitcoiners from 2022 or Before

So the fellows from the subreddit's discord decided to start posting (as you may have noticed). The sub was so bad we decided to hide away rather than deal with it. Next go around, we need enough signal to drown out the noise, enough people who know what's going on to correct the misinformed, enough people willing to fight the shitcoinery, degen leverage, hype, and in a word; scams.

Congratulations, you're not a "Bitcoin tourist". You're still here after the bull run. If there is a next "cycle" so to speak, you get the honor of watching in horror as a group of newbies make the exact mistakes you made that resulted in your financial turmoil and when you go to warn them not to make the same mistakes, they'll be so enamored by their charismatic scammer of choice that they'll not ignore you, but fight you back like its you who is trying to do them harm.

This is your life now. You don't get to call yourself a newbie anymore. If that thought scares you because you still don't know how to withdraw coins off an exchange and self-custody, you better get on it.

Because you are no longer a newbie, you need to reconsider what advice you've been giving to people, and what advice was given to you. Did you recommend an exchange that collapsed this cycle? Are you recommending people to use things that confuse them into thinking Bitcoin and shitcoins have some kind of similarities? How much of what you're recommending is based on what was marketed to you, vs what you actually understand about how things work. Consider what trust model you're recommending people to delve into ( Trusting Bitcoin Services and Businesses : Bitcoin (reddit.com) ) and whether a less trust necessary service is just as easy.

I would like everyone to comment something they don't understand about Bitcoin yet, signing devices, coin control, what a node is, how to use lightning, the different risk profiles for spending money (hot wallet) and savings (cold wallet) Literally anything you're confused about so we can clear things up quick, because you aren't newbies anymore. There are people who are going to hear you got in during 2022 and think that means you're an OG.
