Can I share a blog post I wrote about Bitcoin basics?
No. The rules say new posts should not be articles or opinions but questions, and the rule named no advertising new websites, news, blog, articles bans posting blogs outright.

Works well

- Read the questions other beginners post and use them as research for your own Bitcoin product or content.
- If you have deep Bitcoin knowledge, answer other people's questions in comments clearly and helpfully, with no links or product mentions.
- Upvote good questions and answers to build a genuine presence in the community over time.
Avoid
- Posting any article, blog post, news link, or video channel, which the rules call out under no advertising new websites, news, blog, articles.
- Including an affiliate link or referral code anywhere in your post or comment.
- Using a URL shortener, since the rules say spammers use them.
- Mentioning altcoins, tokens, or ICOs in any context.
- Disguising an advert as a question, which the rules explicitly name as banned.
- Soliciting p2p trades, investments over DM, or offering help over DM to other users.
What r/BitcoinBeginners Is For
This community is for new users who have Bitcoin related questions. The description says it plainly, and the rules reinforce that new posts should be questions, not articles or opinions. It is a learning space for people starting out with Bitcoin, and nothing else.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule named Bitcoin questions only is the gatekeeper. It says new posts should not be articles or opinions but questions, and that general trading and price speculation questions are generally offtopic. The rule named No advertising new websites, news, blog, articles bans advertising websites, posting news or blogs, and disguising an advert as a question. The rule named No promoting altcoins, tokens, ICOs. No shilling. No concern trolling covers shilling, begging, and soliciting trades or investments over DM. The rule named No affiliate links or promoting referral codes and the rule named Do no use URL shorteners (spammers use them) close off the last common ways marketers try to sneak traffic into a post.
What To Post
If you are a founder doing respectful Reddit marketing, the honest answer is that you can only post a genuine Bitcoin question you actually have. The rules say new posts should not be articles or opinions but questions, so any post you make must be a real question about Bitcoin that a beginner would ask. If you have a Bitcoin product, you cannot link it, mention it, or steer the conversation toward it. The best you can do here is learn. Read what people ask, understand their confusion, and use that knowledge to improve your product or write better content elsewhere.
What To Avoid
Do not post articles, opinions, news, blogs, videos, or surveys. Do not advertise any website. Do not disguise an ad as a question. Do not promote altcoins, tokens, or ICOs. Do not shill, beg, or solicit p2p trades. Do not send private messages offering help or asking for investments, because the community description warns that over 99 percent of people who DM you are scammers. Do not use affiliate links or referral codes. Do not use URL shorteners of any kind.

No. The rules under no advertising new websites, news, blog, articles ban surveys and solicitations, and the rule named no promoting altcoins, tokens, ICOs. No shilling bans promotion of any kind.

No. The rules explicitly say no soliciting to help others over DM and warn that over 99 percent of people who DM you are scammers. Offering help over DM is banned.
Can I post a question about Bitcoin trading strategy or price prediction?
No. The rules say general trading and price speculation questions are generally offtopic, and the focus is on basic Bitcoin learning questions only.
