So the title of this post says it all. I am new to both Steemit and cryptocurrency. My Steemit account is less than two days old, and I honestly have no, and have never had, a cryptocurrency account of any kind. I know that I could spend endless horribly boring hours reading blogs and essays until my eyes bled, but I would like to kill two birds with one stone and learn about crypto while digging into the Steemit Community at the same time. I look forward to informative conversation, and making new friends. I'll open with a few basic questions.
(1.) I need a cryptocurrency account and I have considered Bitcoin. Yes? No?
(2.) Is one form of crypto account better than another, and why?
(3.) Is one type of crypto account better for Steemit itself, and why?
(4.) What else might I need in order to transfer Steemit currency to, say, my Paypal account, and is that wise?
(5.) Is cryptocurrency a public net or an under-net sort of thing. Do I need Tor, VPN, Encryption, et al?
(6.) What questions should I be asking that I am not?
