Yeah and that sucks. Well, let's just say that the forum is not for them and they aren't willing to learn Bitcoin or they aren't interested in it to stay here in the forum. This forum is a great community where many people share, read and learn about cryptocurrency and they'll surely miss it. Anyway, there are other ways to learn about crypto I'm sure you know it and maybe that's why they left because they may have read some criticism and feel bad or they may have taken it seriously (who knows why).
When reading a criticism that turns out to have no solution to it then a person who is criticized will feel that he has made a mistake.
Everyone's mentality is different and if he cannot overcome it into something positive then he will stop there.

Sometimes those who are criticized will take anything seriously depending on the context of what is being discussed.
There are many other ways to learn about Bitcoin, there are many social media, including Youtube with explanations that may be visually clearer but Bitcointalk is the center of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency knowledge, here we discuss everything in detail.

You can never know how certain people will react, and some are more friendly, others seem aggressive. It's important that you don't come here with a prejudice or negative attitude because you will receive the same treatment or worse. Genuine and honest people will get the help they need. It might take time, but you will get there.

Have an open mind and don't use feelings but use your mind to digest everything.
As a member of the forum who has been here since 2016, I get a lot of negative comments,
and positive and some constructive comments we will know what is wrong with our threads and comments and some are just present with words that seem like belittling.
So no need to argue, just relax and take everything positively.

Asking questions is always better than committing a serious mistake and then asking how to correct it. The only thing worse than that is asking how to cancel your confirmed transactions or get your coins back. It shows a lack of understanding of how Bitcoin works. So whenever something doesn't fill right, ask away.

If you want a good source to read about Bitcoin and its ecosystem, you can give The Sovereign University a try. I found it a few weeks ago and I like their courses. Take a look if you aren't afraid to invest some time reading.

It's just that there are some annoying newbie behaviors. they create a question thread, then leave their own thread and create another question thread. that means they really don't care about the discussion that is developing.

what you say is true, not all beginners on the forum understand the forum as a whole. even just using the search feature may be too difficult for beginners. I just hope they have the confidence to be more active in discussions. although sometimes limited knowledge makes beginners quite insecure.
Again, refer to the last part of what I've said, don't answer the question if you think it's a waste of time and I think that them being annoying is considered in that regard. Regarding the last part of what you said though, I think that we don't have any control in that, it's up to the newbie if he's willing and enthusiastic to be an active participant in the forum.

Make it easier. You can use the forum search button when you need to know something. That will show you some relayed topics and replies. If you can't find your desired answers, then you may create a thread. Nevermind if some people criticise you; a few members will answer you. Don't take criticism seriously; otherwise, you can't learn. Just ignore negative comments and move forward.
Good advice, I have noticed in the past some days newbies asking questions in beginners and Meta thread which already discussed well before. If they search for these, they would find most of answer. Starting New thread can be helpful if OP keep active it by replying so that other members know either problem of OP solved or still he has some confusion.

Crictism is beauty of decentralized platform where you are free to discuss and criticise any opinion regardless of looking to the rank. I personally learned  knowledge through this method in this forum. When someone crictise any point it promt me to research further on it which gives me aware of other related knowledge too. One should not discourage from Nagative comment as these comments help you identify the improvement area and also leads to health discussion and debate.

It's more than foolish if you don't read, search to find answers before you ask questions.

If you always ask questions without your due diligent research, it's foolish because I am doubtful you will read any replies on your questions. Being lazy enough to not search that is enough to don't read any reply.
There's a hint of truth to that but that doesn't mean that it's the whole truth because there are times when you don't even know what to read. Calling people lazy just because they don't read and just question outright is kind of condescending of you to say, newbies won't really know what to do so they ask questions first. In regards, to people that's answering those questions, it's not like it's going to be a mandatory thing for you to answer them, if you find the question a waste of your time then don't answer it.

There will always be negative comments or unfavorable criticism.
But from the criticism, we should take the positive and evaluate what is wrong.

Regardless of rank newbie or legendary, they will all be criticized when there are differences of opinion or discrepancies with existing data. 
It will make the discussion healthier and more new knowledge is gained.

Although I initially received loads of criticism and of course some useful information, someone dropped a link to an article that gave me an insane guide on key fundamental topics like.
If  you don't want some of their response to be ccrticized you have to avoid ask unuseful questions. That's why They always advise us beginners to do more research and learn a lot, so that we can cover everything before dropping some topics or asking questions, therefore don't ignore the criticism sometimes if you don't failed, you won't learn..
Is there actually a standard for asking questions?  Because I know the only way people actually learn very fast is when they are corrected so that such mistake won't occur again. But before a question is asked by a person, the person must have done some research that will make the person be very curious to have the notion of actually wanting to know more on the research you did. This makes the answers that you will get from the question you aksed more understandable and faster for effective learning .

There's nothing wrong with asking questions but it will only mean you are lazy to find the answer yourself through research unless you read first after doing some research before asking. No one likes to spoon-feed someone with everything they know because that person will only depends on you the entire time without making an effort themselves. Asking questions is not bad as it is what helps you to make sure you are not wrong or what you have learned is correct but as I have explained about asking questions without doing research first is not good. That's the reason why there's a search button or search feature in the first place or google if you must with Bitcointalk at ehe end of what you want to search if it's a thread here in the forum.

Nobody will kill you for asking questions, so I believe asking questions will help build more knowledge about the forum, so I believe that asking questions is what can make a person get more knowledge.

If we don't ask questions, we can't develop our knowledge. If we ask questions, and we get answers, other forum members will get some knowledge too from the question and the answers, so asking questions is not a crime.
If someone does not know anything but he or she is willing to learn, I don't think asking a question is something the person should be ashamed to do, because while he asks he still acquires more knowledge. I feel that those people who think that they know everything and don't ask questions are the ones that aren't ready to learn at all.

It does make you a fool for just a minute after which you are not. But does it matter.
I don’t agree with this concept to asking questions. In fact, it means the very opposite. Asking questions means you recognize the fact that. You don’t know and you ain’t shying away from the process of seeking out the knowledge in the unknown. That’s a wise and bold person to me. There is nothing foolish about that.

There’s an unpopular saying that goes; he who asks questions don’t get to miss his directions. That’s what should be the case for any wise learner. You ask questions rather than experimenting and get beaten yet again when all that was needed was to just ask!

Still, you have to ask in cases where you’ve tried other means as per researches and don’t find the answers you need. When you don’t search and you just go about creating a thread on the forum for an existing topic, it doesn’t get much attention.

It does make you a fool for just a minute after which you are not. But does it matter. Main thing is that you are learning and you are growing. The wealth of knowledge in the cryptocurrency ecosystem is so big that even those developers sometimes ask questions when they don't know something. And the wonderful thing about it is that no matter what how stupid the question may sound, there is always someone who has the grace to answer them all. Therefore, ask away.

Asking questions are very important because it ginves you a better edge and understanding over others and what you are doing it does not make you a fool but expose you to knowledge ,ginves a clearer picture of your thoughts and situation mainly in bitcoin investment without someone teaching you there will be no ideas or knowledge and in the process you ask questions.
The type of questions and manner in which you ask questions determine who you are.Always ask reasonable questions thatcam impact knowledge and most especially in Bitcoin.

Not a few beginners are afraid to ask questions, if you dare to ask, that is a good thing. Sometimes many people are willing to ask a question in this forum, they actually need a lot of self-confidence, it's no wonder that many beginners don't ask because they don't have enough courage to thearize or just ask.

So, good beginners are those who like to read and ask questions. However, asking here doesn't mean you want to, it's a good idea before asking to search for yourself in the forum search, if you can't find it then ask a question. Because it's not good to ask by making the same question thearized, because you repeat questions, you are afraid that your question will be deleted by the moderator.

In essence, a good beginner is a beginner who likes to find out and dig deeper into the rules and benefits of this forum. Asking questions is not stupid, in fact frequently discussing and asking questions in forums gives an indication that your thinking is working.

It is better to ask questions which I think this is one of the ways to obtain knowledge by asking questions.  Some people have phobia of speaking up whenever they have something to say. Trying not to ask people about Something that is not clear is a sign of foolishness because the more you ask questions it is the more you will understand things better. People have falling into big problems just that they decides to keep things to themselves.  One of the things I love here no matter questions one drop their is always an answer to it.

I became active in the forum last month and at first, it was difficult to understand how so many things work here.
Asking questions all the time is not a good one. Sometimes users ask questions and the other members post their own opinion on it and it that they will gain knowledge but sometimes when a person ask useless or too many or moral-less questions it will bour us. Yes, you can gain knowledge by asking a question but sometimes the person gets too serious and does not check it by himself instead, he comes and asks the other members. They also used a method in which they asked the same question but in different ways in different threads, like what are the needs of these types of posting. So request newbies to ask a question which is very necessary and also go through your own research and walk here and here in the forum I am sure you will become a successful person on this forum.

The thread Newbies - Read before posting is for lazy members who don't search but always ask.

I think the search bar is one of those features in this forum that is underutilized by a majority of the users, whether new or old.

The search bar works like wonders and tons of threads can be consolidated as one due to the sheer amount of similarities that are posted. If people were to use this tool, then same threads and spams can be prevented.

Lastly, the internet is your friend- all the information is on your fingertips. If you have any questions, then you can always use any search engine (e.g. Google, Yahoo, etc.) to learn and to discover new information or anything related about cryptocurrencies.

Asking questions is convenient but most of us forget to do our own search since asking questions will let others do the task for us.  I am not against asking questions but we should at least do our best to search and research for answers.  It is way better to ask questions to verify if our found knowledge is a fact or a myth than asking questions and letting others do the research for us. Letting others do the task for us is plain laziness.

Sadly in this forum, many are too lazy to search for an answer and yes, the worst thing is they don't even bother reading replies. Making a fool of the person who genuinely trying to provide an answer to the person's querry.

Repetitive topics can be useful sometimes. There are many valuable topics that will be hard to find. Due to new topics created on a regular basis, those topics shadowed and stayed out of new user's eyes. However, reading old topics in a new post can shake our memory and our knowledge about those topics can be preserved in our long-term memory so that we won't forget about it completely.

If a person wants to learn something,  asking questions doesn't means he is fool,  even it is better for him and for the other users ,  even if he is asking question in bitcoinTalk,  then it also helps the person who asks the question and also other users who have problem in the same situation. And also,  he have something more to learn. Sometimes, a person knows a little about something,  but he asks question and here in the forum if different people from different countries gives his own ideas and the person learn a lot of things from his ideas.

Talking about these aspects asks more questions in these forum if you have a problem,  but the question should be accurate,  I hope you will get better reply according to your posts here.

There is no harm in trying. Here in this forum, we can freely ask questions about certain topics that we are not yet familiar. Users here are friendly and kind enough to share their insights about the topic. So do not be afraid.

But, if you want to learn independently, you can do your research by your own self. Try to visit and explore different channels in this forum, because you will really gain a lot.

And again, if you need a hand, do not hesitate to ask!

I really agree with you, before choosing to ask other people, it would be better for us to look for answers to the questions we have, because it could be that the person who answers the questions we give just answers casually and not based on their knowledge and this will certainly make us wrong in finding the answer to our question, but if we have found out for ourselves about the question we have then we can compare it with the answer we got from the person we asked.
I think those who have lied to other people with the answers they give are a very bad example for anyone. You are right in looking for answers to the questions we have. It would be better for us to try it ourselves first and then compare it with the answers we get from other people.

BTC, a coin of today and tomorrow.
As newbies, we are eager to know it all so we can bevmasters in no distant time. At this point, asking questions becomes an option if we must succeed.

No one knows it all whether newbie or not. We learn everyday. To succeed in life, we must stoop to conquer. Make enquiries when you are not certain about a particular thing. Ask questions to be clarified on issues you find confusing
We need not rely on asking questions only to learn. We do researches on our own too.  Navigate through the forum and read previous posts from members. By doing this, you would have answered your questions and even gain more knowledge.  It will even save you the stress of being criticized ( this should not be a reason for not asking questions though). Be a fool to learn. It's the results we are interested in.

I became active in the forum last month and at first, it was difficult to understand how so many things work here.

I read many threads and they were helpful but they weren't  detailed enough to give me the information I needed.

Then I decided to become open and make a post expressing my current problems in the forum. I had my fears but then, I just wanted to learn so I posted this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.62881324

Although I initially received loads of criticism and of course some useful information, someone dropped a link to an article that gave me an insane guide on key fundamental topics like

1. Accounts: This covers almost everything you need to know about creating and securing your account.
2. Address:
3. Airdrops
4. Altcoins
5. Authentication
6. Bitcoin
7. Blockchain
8. Books
And lots of information I never imagined I could get from one particular place.

I recommend that every newbie or someone who is really in need of quality information should go through this
 https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5364418

It is a library of information that you can't exhaust and remain the same.

Ask question questions and never despise the days of your little beginning. Every great person started as a newbie so enjoy the learning process.



The forum is educative and at the same time informative.
Always ask questions on subjects you don’t have a good knowledge on, especially here in the forum, don’t be afraid of backlash, because they are the ingredients you need to enable you grow.
I’ve learned things that were ordinarily too complex for my understanding, here in these forum with ease.

It’s also of self help when you painstakingly go through those links shared by forum members on questions you’ve asked, reading it yourself gives you an in-depth understanding of the question you’ve asked, sometimes better than explanation somebody is trying to give you.

Asking a question is nothing bad, no matter how foolish the question might be, but never make it look so foolish and meaningless. If you surely ask a sincere question, despite the criticism you will receive on that topic, you will still have others that provide an answer to whatever your question is about. Although questions don't mostly get deleted by moderators, unless some spamy threads that get reported and deleted by moderators.

Some times during my newbie days on the forum, I got stunning replies that warranted me digging into a repotuble member's profile, and I did see a few questions that they also asked that were really nothing serious to ask about.

Just ask auestion and be free when doing so because the forum is a gree space and community  where we all have equal rights of communication.
In my few months of stay here, I've come to realize that alot of users think and see the forum as a very strict place which isn't really true as it is more of a fair community  where everyone is given equal chances of growth.

Adding to all you've said op, I want to advice the newbies to rather spend more time on reading more post and user threads than wanting to make more post because it is from reading more quality post that would end to more meaningful and quality post engagement and no one should ever feel discouraged no matter the about of criticism they get but rather build on those criticisms.

I side with you on this, notwithstanding the local saying where I come from that a man who asks questions seldomly misses his way. I believe not all puzzles are meant to be asked in questions before they're solved. Some are solvable within seconds if we looked hard enough without looking unsettled. What I've come to find here is that some of these new ones coming in here hardly take the timeout to peruse this place before jumping to ask questions which in most cases had already been asked and right up there in their face.

In fact, asking lots of questions can foster critical thinking, increase insight and other knowledge. So don't be embarrassed to ask, asking lots of questions won't make you look stupid. We need lots of people to "ask lots of questions" in a positive context, especially what we don't know yet. However, unfortunately, most beginners tend to like to ask questions directly by creating new theories without first using the search button that has been prepared on this forum.

In fact, with the search button, everything we want to search for is available more practically and more easily. The most important thing you have to have in this forum is to read a lot because without that it will be difficult for you to develop in this forum.

Everyone started from having no knowledge up to learning and then becoming masters to what they do. And for newbies, do not be shy to ask about new things that you've just read and heard. Even those that have been here for long, still asks questions. It's just free and there's no need to think that it's bad to ask questions unless it's literally a foolish question that's just mocking or hurting someone else. There could be some feelings that you guys feel when you asks questions and then you're answered impolitely. Don't make that ruin yourselves and still ask questions politely and just go straight forward as you just want to learn something new and ask valid questions.
Someone will give knowledge about something and someone will accept it. It is very important to ask questions for acquire knowledge. Those who can questions can learn. I think those who are curious ask more questions. But the questioner must follow certain things. If one decides to ask a question about a subject, he must try to find out whether anyone has asked the question or has any answer. When he wants to know something for better understanding then definitely he can asked his question. But keep in mind that it gets boring when the same question is asked again and again. In that direction, the questioner must acquire sufficient prudence.

There is no shame in accepting that I lack something or don't know it better. Feel free to ask questions, and someone will always clear up your confusion. This forum is filled with knowledgeable people. Not just crypto, but all types, like technology, finance, hardware, software, and so on. You just name it, and you'll find it. Just keep one thing in mind: there are many similar topics already created, so before creating one, try to search the forum for it. If you do find a similar topic and you think I should create one again with more information to extend the topic, why not?! We always need these kinds of people. As for me, I also do this when I'm in confusion. There will always be people who criticize you and those who praise you. Never take their criticism to heart.

I know that the members of the forum are not all educated people who like reading rather than asking questions. There's nothing wrong with asking, maybe a beginner will seem normal when asking basic questions regarding the system or working mechanism of the forum. such as how to quote or use a forum search engine.

I hope the many criticisms given to new members don't make them despair. but it actually motivates them to increase their knowledge regarding forums or other topics.

Asking question is the best as long as you are new to a place because your common sense wouldn't let you know that you can get some information that you are bothered about by yourself. Especially to a forum like this that is very wide with different boards and discussion. This is why I wouldn't blame newbies that ask same old questions the moment that they register here in the forum. It is only people that are used to search engines in other platforms that when they come to this forum for the first time that might immediately use the search engine as they dee it. I never thought of the search engine when I newly came to the forum but as time passes on, I got to understand that it makes me get answers to whatever question I seek answer for.

We don't need to be silent about what we don't know; it is better if we ask questions about what we lack knowledge about. Being silent will never give someone a fast way to learn. If someone really wants to learn, they need to forget about the criticism they will receive from different people. People can't do without criticizing because someone must do one or two stupid things when someone is seeking knowledge. As a newbie, I don't see any question that is too small or too big to ask concerning the knowledge that person is seeking for.So I advise newbies to never be shy about asking any type of question they have, because that can be an easier way for them to learn fast.

Maybe you're a newbie and all you could think of is investing your money on any crypto projects and thought about everything will be alright, then that's a mistake because it's like you having a fire on the mountain, there are memecoins we should stay off clear, when we are a beginner, it is mostly advised that we invest on bitcoin only, in other to allow us not to fall into the den of scammers through their shitcoins projects.

Newbies are always in a haste to invest whenever they hear or see any project and they Fail to do their own research as to know more on the project they are about making investment on. I have h as d this experience where I am always in a haste to invest in projects without doingy own proper research and upon doing that, be they run away or rug pull with investors funds without any tangible reasons and in most cases no one hears from team again. I have lost capitals to that effect. Everw since then I started taking my time to do my own research and basically I prefer Bitcoin over other investments. I think newbies should consider investing in Bitcoin so as to be protected compared to other shit coins.

“Ask" and “question" are the most reoccurring words in the comment section. Which shows how important it is to ask about things you don't understand in the bitcoin community. Members don't take any good question as foolish. Newbies who get bad responses, most a times asked again an answered question. When reading bitcoin articles I send questions on google and get answers that lead me to this forum. The forum contains lots of answered bitcoin related questions, I noticed. If you don't want to feel foolish, look it up on google, not on bitcoin talk. Google will direct you, to a thread that answers your question in bitcointalk forum. In searches where the preferred answers are not found here, then you can ask the forum and they'll rarely criticize your post, as it serves a good purpose. Yet newbies fail to notice this, and rush to ask questions with no prior research, whether it has been asked. That's why we still see thread where the Op might feel foolish. Causing a decrease in the forum activities of the newbie. He'll have a million and one reason not to ask questions again. Hence, dropping them to the non active member crew. This thread, which I love, will help newbies like myself to summon the courage to keep asking questions and participating in the forum despite what we feel from the criticisms of our previous mistakes. Soon we'll learn and make lesser mistake, as such.

It is true that questions of inquiries does not make one a fool but rather, it expands the knowledge of the person asking to gain more idea on what they are curious about. When you ask question, there is always a high percentage that you learn from what you ask because asking is part of the educational process that involves one learning by asking question and it is imperative to know that you will only know what you have no idea about only when you ask question.

So therefore question is very important and a vital role in education and learning process. No matter how irrelevant it is, there must always be an information one would get from that question asked no matter  how stupid or irrelevant it is. Do not forget many people reasoning and perspective are not the same. One single individual must pick something from that question to learn from based on the response gotten. No question is a waste of time.

You really have to ask questions about things that you do not know or are aware of It is not for your own benefit but for others who faced or have the same questions or will encounter these questions many will benefit and that includes higher rank if we're not going to ask anything there is no discussion on topics.
More so on forums so even if the question is nonsense but if it leads to a good discussion it's better to ask it and just ignore those who question your intention to as that question.

It's more than foolish if you don't read, search to find answers before you ask questions.

If you always ask questions without your due diligent research, it's foolish because I am doubtful you will read any replies on your questions. Being lazy enough to not search that is enough to don't read any reply.

The thread Newbies - Read before posting is for lazy members who don't search but always ask.
The bottom line is that the member's ability to research and learn new things before creating a thread is a very foolish approach to learning because there is no need to duplicate posts when there is an already existing post that covers your area of curiosity.
So is very important to read more and write less in most cases and the ability to select the area of focus in your research guarantees faster and lasting understanding.

Although I initially received loads of criticism and of course some useful information, someone dropped a link to an article that gave me an insane guide on key fundamental topics like.
If  you don't want some of their response to be ccrticized you have to avoid ask unuseful questions. That's why They always advise us beginners to do more research and learn a lot, so that we can cover everything before dropping some topics or asking questions, therefore don't ignore the criticism sometimes if you don't failed, you won't learn..

Asking question is not bad when the question are constructive and necessary but the truth is that it's our laziness that prompt us to ask question. If not all, majority of the questions been asked here are already been answered but laziness to read or search for it in the forum using the search button will not allow us. We prefer to create duplicate thread on the issues that has been treated before. Like seriously, asking some questions will make you look like absolute fool.

The forum and the members are here to offer help and guidance to one another not minding the rank but some times it annoys to keep repeating one thing severally. You don't need to ask question always, you need to read and learn always. You can only ask questions after you have read and you can not understand. It's better to keep the forum clean and spam free to discussing one issue severally.

I became active in the forum last month and at first, it was difficult to understand how so many things work here.

I read many threads and they were helpful but they weren't  detailed enough to give me the information I needed.

Then I decided to become open and make a post expressing my current problems in the forum. I had my fears but then, I just wanted to learn so I posted this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.62881324

Although I initially received loads of criticism and of course some useful information, someone dropped a link to an article that gave me an insane guide on key fundamental topics like

1. Accounts: This covers almost everything you need to know about creating and securing your account.
2. Address:
3. Airdrops
4. Altcoins
5. Authentication
6. Bitcoin
7. Blockchain
8. Books
And lots of information I never imagined I could get from one particular place.

I recommend that every newbie or someone who is really in need of quality information should go through this
 https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5364418

It is a library of information that you can't exhaust and remain the same.

Ask question questions and never despise the days of your little beginning. Every great person started as a newbie so enjoy the learning process.



Some newbies will simply join forums by asking questions that are not meant to ask. Some of these questions can even annoy you, which is why some newbie accounts get tag or banned from the forum. Still, some newbies are not going to learn from their mistakes. To help each newbie, there is a search button at the top right of the forum to support us in our search for whatever we want to learn about. Newbies need to be aware that this forum is to produce a good quality post and conduct thorough learning on bitcoin before asking what they don't understand. He who asks will never lost, so they need to realize that. It takes time, effort, and patience to move forward in this forum.


Everyone who wants to learn should ask questions in this forum, but we should be aware of what questions to ask. I don't think anyone is above learning something they don't understand. Some newbies may even get upset when high rank members aren't taking it easy with them. However, everyone who wants to learn should not be upset for any reason.

Exactly, I would rather be called a fool to gain knowledge than to remain a fool forever, it's easy as ABC, I have been on Bitcointalk from for some time now and when I was new I usually get some annoying responses, sometimes I find them to be hurtful and some are hilarious, making jokes out of me, but my father always said that pretending to be a fool to gain knowledge is a great wisdom, one shouldn't be ashamed in this case.

When I was new I don't even bother to use the search engine on the forum to find answers to my problem, and most members on this forum have reacted in a unpleasant ways for asking questions that have been discussed over again, and some members still answer my questions even even when they knew its not a new topic.

We are not all created the same, some will react in a very good way and some will get on your nerves and probably even insult you, do not mind, you are here to acquire some knowledge so, keep doing your best and avoid breaking the forums rules, you will be alright.

Asking questions will not kill you, so why hesitate to ask questions? I mean I'm not pertaining to you, but I believe that there are some here who are just shy to ask questions because of the fact that they might receive harsh answers coming from other users. TBH, I'm hesitant to ask questions here as well, so what's the solution? Search button.

Now with regards to search button, I believe that the forum has been the main source of my knowledge when it comes to crypto, but aside from that, I also watch educational videos on Youtube as well. In this way, I don't need to ask, but I'll just use the search button, and there you go... my answer is there already. I'm not saying that don't ever ask questions here, but there's always another way to get those answers.

There are different opinions on whether it is worth asking questions or whether to still use the search. On the other hand, a beginner does not know the whole system, and the opinion of old-timers is that asking obvious questions is not entirely correct. Likewise, there is so much information on the forum that, by simply reading it, most questions will automatically disappear. I think that people who are new to the forum should at least take a look at what is here and how. But when we see a person registered today and immediately starts asking without making the slightest effort in searching, then naturally he will meet with a lot of criticism. I don't know how typical this is for forums—creating many topics in one day and talking about yourself—but logically, a person should be more modest so as not to look like a fool who does not know how to look further than their nose.
Well thought of and we'll written. In two weeks we would see a newbie who would make this same mistake by registering today and jumping in to ask questions with doing their due diligence or worst still writing to advise others. This doesn't apply to newbies who already have good grasp of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

Everyone started from having no knowledge up to learning and then becoming masters to what they do. And for newbies, do not be shy to ask about new things that you've just read and heard. Even those that have been here for long, still asks questions. It's just free and there's no need to think that it's bad to ask questions unless it's literally a foolish question that's just mocking or hurting someone else. There could be some feelings that you guys feel when you asks questions and then you're answered impolitely. Don't make that ruin yourselves and still ask questions politely and just go straight forward as you just want to learn something new and ask valid questions.

 There are questions one can ask on the forum and people won't think twice about supplying answers to them but some users (esp noobs) ask obvious questions like "what is Bitcoin" just because they want to stay on topic which is quite exhausting because firstly, there's something like a Google search engine and second, some other person have created a thread like that and answers have been supplied to it.
 Asking questions helps a lot because it clears you where beforehand you were lost but I don't think silly, obvious questions count. Personally I feel there won't be much need for some questions we see here if the Op was diligent enough to have done their homework before bringing it up here.

 Although I might understand what the op is trying to pass across because I've observed that some users here try to avoid criticism if they ask for clearance to a question that bothers them and instead prefer to just keep it in and since they are not conversant with the search engine, the problem goes unsolved and they know less about that area.

I think in some cases it's better to be fool like if you want to learn something you don't know if you ask a question on the forum or anywhere to learn about it.
Yes, in some cases, one thing becomes annoying that similar questions are being created again and again in the same topic or coming before the forum members, in this case, many people can criticize without controlling themselves, but you will not take the criticism in mind.
In some cases, those criticisms will be useful to you, cz in some case those criticisms will can create interest in your mind to explore, also desire to know new questions. This is how the journey basically begins.

If the question is already written and we can read multiple answers provided then its better to read those post made. Since its no sense to create another thread intended for that question since they will just get the same answer or they will not get a direct to the point opinion from people. To many helpful threads created on each section wherever they go that's why instead spending some time waiting for some people to answer its better to research since this can help us increase the awareness on many things and we can get a lot of information by browsing since to many related stuff that we can search on.
Although its really good to ask but people need to make sure first that if there question has not been asked already so they can avoid any negative thoughts that might place on the thread they create.
