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.

We have different sources of information about bitcoin. This is what confuses people, especially newcomers that are just entering the crypto space, so I think they easily get confused while doing their research. They come across different sources of information and don’t really know what to do, so they easily get scammed, especially those videos you mentioned. I think videos confuse them more when going through their research, so the only place I think someone will easily learn about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is these forums. When mentioning the safest place to discuss the whole crypto space, here should be the safest place.

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.

Exactly. I’m glad you understand what the newcomers are passing through and how they get false information from different sources. Although some newcomers get scammed when they are greedy, unfortunately many things happen due to false information that they have fed themselves since the initial stage of their learning.

However, I will advise everyone who is currently learning about bitcoin and wants to learn to be very careful with the kind of information they come across on the internet; that information is mostly not from reliable sources and will affect them in the future.

Cryptocurrency is currently one of the most popular platforms where most new users are facing scams. Those new users should always be careful otherwise they can lose their money from this online platform at any time and fall into losses. There are many untrustworthy websites which always give wrong information and try to deceive you by showing you very tempting things when you go there. When you go to a reliable and trusted website to review Bitcoin and various currencies, you can definitely learn something good from there and rely on them with faith. You can get good education only when you take advice from trusted and well researched and don't get scammed later but profit by learning Bitcoin.

Many reliable sources in this field include books, courses, articles, and video clips. For example, Bitcointalk can be relied upon as one of the important sources for Bitcoin enthusiasts. Through the discussions and guide topics published here, any beginner can educate himself with a wealth of information related to Bitcoin. Still, he should not rely on only one source or topic to receive information without doing the necessary research, which only takes a few minutes, and also verifying the accuracy of the information related to Bitcoin from other sources and references, the information that the person obtains could be wrong information, incorrect opinions, or reflect a flawed understanding....etc. Yes, as the OP mentioned, before jumping to any conclusions on any of the various topics, whether it is about Bitcoin, altcoins, or in any of the other sections of the forum, the newbies must equip themselves with ample knowledge and educate themselves sufficiently.

As a newbie, learn to do extended research whenever you encounter new information about bitcoin. If you want to know if that information is legit and reliable, then don’t just believe on it easily but always DYOR. That’s the best possible way that you will come up with a reliable information so you won’t end up falling into wrong information.

And also learn to avoid social media crypto influencers as most of them do not make initial research but only jump into conclusion. In order to process legit information, have your own research so that there won’t be misleading of information.

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 this statement is hundred percent reliable, the information we obtained either positive or negative, it depends on the source of the information that will determine how reliable the information is all about, some people doesn't believe that we have fake people who upload what's is not existence or what's existence but is contrary to the legitimate information and that is while we need to make a proper research from nice site before we conclude of bitcoin, any research we carried out because of suppose to undergoes other thesis before it can publish to the public.

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.

It's challenging at first. In researching, it's important to cross-reference information from different sources and not to take everything at face value. Sometimes, it gets confusing when inaccurate and misleading information is mixed in. It's crucial to know which types of sources to trust, specifically those that are verifiable, as they can build a solid foundation of knowledge from the beginning. Engaging in thoughtful discussions like these can help learn and adapt. I remember when I was just starting, I had a lot of questions like, Who wrote this? What are their credentials? and What's their motive? So it's always important to verify information with official data or trusted research

As far as I see that this platform can teach a beginner and make him or her as a bitcoiner from beginner to advanced level. Another advantage of this platform is that if my ideas are wrong, other members can correct them and contribute better knowledge. I don't know if it is possible to become a bitcoiner from any other platform. I think this platform will be quite helpful.

People tend to trust those who can be an example for them. If a person explains some subtleties in cryptocurrency to a beginner but is not an expert himself, a chain of people will follow him and will receive erroneous knowledge. Whether it is possible to convince such people depends on the people themselves and their independence in the search for knowledge. However, the best teacher is always one’s own experience, the desire to receive information from different sources, the evaluation of this information, and the correct conclusions.

Do you actually mean consistent or verified, I think the right word here is verified, we have to verify every informations received from anyone or through some of the online platforms we follow before processing on them or work by them, some people will make post and yet will not make an additional efforts towards that to ensure they're having the right and accurate informations with them.

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.

Even at the course of making the research, we should apply wisdom to make sure that we are not relying only on a single source, but make every efforts to clear our doubts by having more than one source to that information we've got.

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.

This forum is my main source of information about the Bitcoin space. I prefer this forum because wrong information will be quickly debunked by members who are well-informed about the topic of discussion. I am not confirming all the information you get on this platform but any false information will not last long in this forum. Also, this forum has many members who have been in the Bitcoin space for a long time. Another benefit of this forum is that you can always ask questions to verify any information you are not sure of. However, I also get information from other sources but it must be verified to be valid.

It would be wrong to comment on a thread you know nothing about. You don't need to respond to all discussions, you could just read through all the responses to gather information. Responding carelessly to discussions can make you are spammer and it could make some members put you on ignore.

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.

DYOR always so you will know it yourself if the information is legit or not. Do not be easily deceived by some articles that talk about bitcoin as you don’t know if the resources are credible or not, or it’s only a made up story so that it can easily attract most especially to those who have no knowledge about bitcoin and are still starting to gain insights about it.

And most importantly, if you want to gain maximum information about bitcoin, trust only bitcointalk. The forum has been here for over a decade, without issues that are thrown against the forum, so it’s most likely that this forum is actually a very reliable source when it comes to bitcoin and the whole crypto space.

The crypto world, like any new area people are trying to understand, can easily become a hotbed of rumors or half-truths. It's important we don't just accept things we hear about at face value. Before deciding if some new claim or product is legit, take time to research it. Check out multiple sources not just ones backing up what you want to believe. Make sure claims have hard evidence behind them before investing money or effort and I think maintaining a curious but critical mindset as we explore the fast-changing crypto landscape will help everyone make wiser choices while supporting innovation. Just blindly believing things without question makes us all vulnerable to bad ideas and scams.

We can avoid misinformation by going to the right sources to get our information. It's not everything we come across online that we're suppose to consume, there are alot of misinformation some done intentional to misread people. Information we receive that we are new shouldn't be immediately digested but we can see other superior opinions about that information so we don't get misguided.

Coming on the forum to ask questions about the new information you just came across won't get you into any trouble so let go of the pride to get yourself well informed to avoid becoming victim to scammers. Some people are purposely spreading misinformed to sell their project to newbies so don't be in a rush to make money and lose the ones you already have, ask questions always and you'll never get lost.

Well said, no man is an island, we need ourselves as we share information that are both helpful and useful to each other. It's unlikely that false information will be shared on the forum and it won't be pointed out as a false information so you can trust the forum will guide you always in this industry. Alot of wisdom and experiences are being shares here always so we can rely more on information we get on the forum than those circulating the web.

Yes informations can be misleading or misconcepted, so that is why we are always advised to (DYOR) do your own research in order to comprehend the information that has been given my different people. If we relay on the information that has been given shared on BTT, it can lead to different cases, since everyone is not the same so our opinions about certain things are not same too.

For every beginner like me and you we should always do our own research before we accept informations.

Truth be told, it's very hard to get false information about Bitcoin online, unless you are listening to peoples opinion on community channels like Reddit and others.

Let's do a test, open google search engine and search about Bitcoin, you will see that out of 10 explanations you will find on the first page will all say the same thing about Bitcoin.

Before coming to this forum, I have know a lot about Bitcoin by just using google search, and it's same with many people from my country, Bitcoin lies can't last long, because it's very easy to understand.

This when learning from different sources Is Comes in. Because kind of person that don't learn from one source Instead I tend to gather information from different sources (like in an RPG games 🤭).

Due to the fact that there's always a true or false information whenever there's any certain information.
And also you practicing learning from different sources will also help in proper understanding.

So not by doing research is by doing it properly, Cheesy

Of course, nowadays anyone can take advantage of the site they can write anything and provide false information that harms you. But during this time, I suggested to my friend if you want to learn Bitcoin then you can visit the Bitcointalk website. Or I suggest https://bitcoin.org site. In addition there are several other sites created by the exchange we can take advantage of it. But the best information in this forum, because there is always validation that can make you more confident and able to consider well. We as people who have more experience have an obligation to give the best advice.
