I would like to think that one of the reliable places you are talking about will be this community, because the knowledge and directions this community holds is beyond comprehension.when you have low insight about a particular thing or project then the results you will get when you have decided to take part on this is just going to be negative and also just like you said even if the information is from the wrong source the likely possible results will all be false and the social media is a perfect place for such misinformations.

This is an open forum which is censorship free and allow everyone to have right to speak. So its better to double check information you are getting from here.
There is senior members who are active on this forum for more then 7 to 8 years and have sound knowledge about crypto. They are the one who can be relied for accurate information but it requires you to spend time here and figure out the right guys.

The crypto space happens to be a very busy place with lots of information surrounding it. Digital form of money like Bitcoin happens to be the most popular among other coins. Interestingly, we've had series of video clips, written books, online materials and people's opinion that all explains every piece of information surrounding Bitcoin. Most of this information are generated from different source, but are meant to interpret same thing, i.e, every information about Bitcoin should be consistent regardless of whosoever is writing/documenting it.

When a none Bitcoin ethusiast is eager to learn about Bitcoin, it's is important for he/she to make proper research as a newbie. By making research, he/she would definitely come across online materials, videos and also people's opinion. At that early stage, it's very difficult to identify false information about Bitcoin due to unfamiliarity with certain terminologies. Sadly, this misinformation can stick and become part of the person. Misinformation can sometimes be difficult to erase especially when we've become top members in the Bitcoin community.

We sometimes come across altercation or counterattacks in the comment section of a particular post. we often see how crypto ethusiast tends to object to other people's ideology concerning Bitcoin. Certainly, one person is usually wrong during this every altercation. The tendency to keep arguing even when one party is wrong is as a result of the wrong information that has been processed overtime.

In conclusion, it's very important that we gather enough information by making our own research and also learning from others especially in a community like BTT. let's not be too quick to jumping into conclusion especially in topics that we are not familiar with. Your contributions are greatly appreciated.
I agree. You see. sure, you might put in loads of hours nailing down research, but if it isn’t done wisely,  so maybe waste time. and collect infomattion and combine like crypto websites, social media discussions, even twitter threads can be enlightening. also forums like BTT, tiktok or YouTube, where you can practically learn anything these days. And now in tiktok, in here not just dance challenges, you can actually stumble upon some pretty neat crypto insights there.

You can only get wrong information about bitcoin when you do your research from unreliable sources (website, social media, YouTube pages etc). When you research from a reliable source you don’t have to worry about a wrong information being given to you and you will be grounded with that information anywhere you go without having alteration with others. It is good to go for extensive research but by doing so, make sure you don’t collect information from unreliable sources, compare them with others to be sure that what you’re learning is legit.

I think as a newbie if one is a regular on bitcoin forum he will not be influenced by such fake news and will find a clean and reliable platform to learn about bitcoin.

For any newcomer looking for the most reliable source of information about bitcoin, I think this forum is the one because any discussion about bitcoin and other cryptocurrency is taken place here, so therefore, for anyone looking for bitcoin information, whether news or anything else, if they join this forum, everything will become easy for them as they will get all they want here.

And one thing about this forum is that you won't get only information, but you will still learn any aspect of bitcoin you wish to specialize in, so you can see that after finding the forum as where you will get your authentic source of information, they can still learn other things too, and that is why this forum is always lively because anything you want is here.

The best suggestion is referring your friends to Bitcointalk forum if they really want to learn about Bitcoin with zero false information exposure, there are too many fake information online and some are even targeting the audience, for scam reasons and email spamming.

Whenever anyone new ask me about where they can start learning about Bitcoin, the first thing that comes to mind is this forum, nowhere else, I started using search engine back in the days, but I still lacked a lot of information then which cost me some money, as I made unnecessary mistakes that I could have avoided if I started learning through this forum instead.
In fact, there is a lot of available information about Bitcoin on the Internet, but it is very scattered across different resources, and it can take a lot of time to find it. And here on the forum it is well presented, and besides, here there is an opportunity to ask a question to experienced users who deal with Bitcoin and understand what it is and how to use it. People who have not only theoretical knowledge but also apply their knowledge in practice have sufficient experience to share it with others, and this is very important.

Never trust the social media crypto influencers as we can’t guarantee if the information they are sharing are reliable or not, or they know actually what they are doing or not since majority of them are there to make a hype and not to completely help us to become knowledgeable. And as much as possible, never rely to only one source but always have the patience to go for other resources and compare which of them look legit and reliable to share.

Before considering investing in or trading cryptocurrencies, any beginner who is just starting out in the field should focus on gathering information. While personal research can be a useful tool for educating newcomers, it may not always be sufficient because it can be challenging to fully understand certain concepts on one's own. In these cases, it is always a good idea to try out other sources of information, such as in-person conversations with experts.

Learning should come first and be done gradually; don't rush it; the information you acquire will come in handy when you explore the crypto world and will influence the course of your decisions. The cryptocurrency market carries a high degree of danger, but one can lower that risk by using effective information.

Actually, things could be a lot easier if everyone understood and accepted different opinions. We don't have to argue or fight to force what we know, because knowledge is vast. Even if someone always thinks they're right, they might actually be the most wrong. Especially when it comes to handling different opinions.

Usually, these disagreements are about capital gain, whether it's investments, trading, or price predictions. People argue and confidently clash with their beliefs. But the main purpose of creating Bitcoin was to be a decentralized digital currency, not to profit from market volatility.

Online platforms are always risky. Scams should be cautious and prudently avoided while engaging in online platforms. This is a very important point especially for new users. Many websites exist on the online platform who spread false information and adopt fraudulent tactics to exploit the users. So newbies should monitor well and stay away from any suspicious offers.

You are actually correct. I think misinformation amongs newbies is as a result of social media. Like Twitter, telegram, Facebook and YouTube. Thats why they say that people should be awear of social media influencer promoting fake project. When we have been deceived a long time ago and we have been growing with that mentality and when you see someone who is correcting you, you think the person is trying to convince you of what you know, where as you are the one who have been fooling around all the while. I have learnt alot in this forum. When I came here I was so sceptical about what was going on here compeard to what I have learnt outside and decided to mellow down to learn instead of ague. The best way of learning is to keep quiet and listen and add more knowledge to the one you have otherwise you will not learn anything.
You are right though that most of the new users always focus more on social media, they are definitely right as a result. Most of the scammers on social media like Facebook Instagram Twitter telegram etc. create a lot of things to fool people about this kind of information and Bitcoin. In this social media scheme people always try to cheat so that a new user loses his money easily but all the new users must know all about it with awareness. Of course, if you want to learn, you have to listen and understand quietly, but it will be possible to acquire skills and always accept the knowledge of successful users, but it will be possible to receive some good education in the future.

Newbies can be easily lured with fake and wrong information as they have not gained adequate knowledge on bitcoin and on the forum. Hence, having an extensive research is crucial so that one can process carefully the information that he receives and ignore those that belong to too good to be true as they are certainly scams.

However, regardless how knowledgeable a  newbie becomes, he is not excuse from losses. Bitcoin is not just all about profits but losses as well, so newbies should also be smarter on how to minimize their losses when they decide to invest or trade with bitcoin.

If the knowledge was there then it would be difficult to mislead anybody with fake news or so whatever and if people feel reading books are bulky and boring then this forum is another place for them to get knowledge of any kind concerning Bitcoin and the sweetest part is that you will see a lot of contributions concerning a particular topic which will make it easier for you to understand. am trying to gather enough information I can before I will start investing because I don't want to lose my money. and after have done my homework then the next thing in line will be my capital and the mode of investment. and that is one of the reasons people are getting scammed because some things are too good to be true, Seeing such information the best thing is to trash it.

Even without your investment being Bitcoin other investment so there are times you will experience loss but that should not discourage you from investing in Bitcoin Loses are all part of the game.  I have been learning ways to manage my risk and I see a lot of investors that will tell you that they have lost quite some amount of money but have not given up. so starting and losing a small amount of money does not discourage me from investing because I know that one day I will make an X and then I will have forgotten about my losses so the best advice I will always give myself is to keep your head in the game.

I agree with you, misinformation can Leed to wrong mentality or false information which make some people ignorant of the way they communicate about Bitcoin. And this your explanation is being practiced in this forum. If you check the rate at which most newbies ague, you will know that this set of people has been misinformed. So my advice for this set of people is to calm down and and pay attention to what people are saying in other to learn. Nobody is an island of knowledge. It is important for the newbies to sublet themselves for Higher people to teach them  what they don't know sothat it will help in bringing them up from the wrong mentality to the Wright mentality.

Its important for us to know more details regarding on the information seeking so that we will not fall into misleading information that can cause us harm in long run. Critical thinking is what these newbies needed so that they can figure out that the information they receive is legitimate or not. We have this forum and they can ask everything here and newbie can learn a lot then develop some good skills to think more better before going on some things that possibly can give them profits.

Also important for newbie to ask something in community if they have doubts about things they wanna go and they should not think that they became dumb if they ask question since that is what they need and they became more better if they always ask question since they can figure out the right answer or solutions on their doubts in mind.

While it's risky to gain information from an unreliable site, but with bitcointalk forum, rest assured that every information is being filtered by those experts about bitcoin and the whole crypto stuffs.

So there's no worries for newbies as long as they are in the forum as the information that they receive are actually real life experiences, but for those beginner learners who are not in the forum and are just learning from random sites, be more wary and careful on the information that you have been absorbing as it can lead someone having misinformed and mislead from gaining legit information.

This may seem simple to the newbies, but it has quite a lot of significance. Naturally a newbie will be interested to know about Bitcoin but he may be confused to get authentic Bitcoin news as there is a lot of fake news in the online world. But this forum can be a safe haven for those who want to know correct and authentic news about Bitcoin. He will learn about the right suggestions of others as well as he can make himself an expert. I think as a newbie if one is a regular on bitcoin forum he will not be influenced by such fake news and will find a clean and reliable platform to learn about bitcoin.
That is why newbies who are in Bitcointalk are lucky to be here because when they get information and not too sure about it they can bring it up here to the forum for experience members to look into it if it will be helpful to newbies or not. This is the challenge most newbies usually have , they come across information that they are not sure if it will be helpful for them. The problem most newbies always have is that they fail to make further research about information they get out.

Well theres a saying a lot of talks out there arent real. If you have found some information its quite natural that tou verified it first cause even the one who said it is even the President of the United States sometimes its not credible or maybe the one that tells that got hacked or whatever. Bitcoin has a lot of resources and you could check it yourself whether the data or info is indeed correct.

The problem with the world nowadays is the reliability of information being spread across the internet.

It is very difficult to trust information nowadays given that everything can be easily faked and altered. Even trusted websites spread false information that many people rely on. Unfortunately, people who have little-to-no knowledge/education at all can be easily swayed by misinformation being spread by fake celebrities or influencers.

Not only just bitcoin information every information which related you should be secure. I see many newbies while they doing bounty campaigns they gives their personal data also for a few bucks. So I also include these thing on besides securing Bitcoin information process. Don't get into the trap if phishing and scammers.

I find these newbies to be somehow "lazy" and then they complain on why they do not receive any merits at all. Bounties are just one of those campaigns that promote spam across the forum due to the leniency of the managers to accept anyone who applies.
