Topic: As a newbie, be careful of the Bitcoin information you process (Read 723 times)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

This is why we have Bitcointalk forum , and we have trustworthy accounts here that will never get tired answering our questions just to make us safer in our bitcoin and cryptocurrency journey.
also this will help us understand each steps and also to how not to fall from those traps planted by abusers and scammers/hackers.
Jumping in Unfamiliar investments will only lead us to complete losing of funds or losing our trust in this market.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.


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.

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.

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.

Having multiple info sources is a plus; it's like a safety net for us. We can double-check facts and not blindly trust what we find. It's crucial to be smart about it, don't swallow info without thinking and avoid arguing without being ready. Grateful for forums like this one where we can verify and even share knowledge with others. It turns learning into a lively experience, far from dull. Being part of the community lets us soak in different experiences, making the whole journey more interesting. So, here's to being wise, cautious, and enjoying the learning ride with fellow members. Thankful for places like this!

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.

That's true and if it happened then another forum member will surely corrected it. People do make some research and that cause them to learn the information that is not the correct one that's what OP's point is. I already seen it where a forum member shows a chart of bitcoin price and said the year it was and yet it wasn't that year so a forum member have to correct it. If you ask me, that's already a wrong information and if newbie read it then it won't be good thing for them.

How do you expect to get some bunch of worng informations in here?? That's somewhat impossible - especially from reputable members... That's exactly why criticism is welcomed in here....if you have any curiosity in mind, it doesn't take a single Bitcoin guru to make some proper explanations to you.... Everyone would do Same thing and in all, you'll be guided on how to maneuver.
For me, I don't really prefer doing any informal research... Except I wanna use that as a confirmation over what has been deliberated already

Totally agree! It's crucial to do your own research and sift through the noise in the crypto world. Bitcoin's popular but there's so much info out there, not all of it accurate. As a newbie, I'm learning to be careful about what to believe and what to question. Discussion and debate are good, but gotta watch out for misinformation. Thanks for highlighting this!

Always DYOR is a very important phrase that most crypto enthusiast uses after addressing issues concerning crypto market or probably giving out an advice that's crypto related, this isn't done because the information they have shared isn't informative enough but for the sake of clearity and better understand especially for clearity and intentionality in decisions that will help you take informed decisions while in the crypto space. Sometimes the mistakes people make are due to inadequate information or been misinformed but when you carry out your research well enough, you definitely take better decisions than you would have done earlier.

Learning from this forum is another very important and good source of information but then it still doesn't put out the place of DYOR as not all information here may be complete .

I have come to understand that whenever two people disagree about something, it doesn't mean one of them is wrong. It could be that they're both right but seeing things from different perspectives.
It's just like when a person sees a 6 while the person in the north sees a 9. That is why it's always important to read deeply and have a good understanding of things.


I agree with this. When you know the basics it becomes easier for you to learn new stuff and that way it would be relatively easier to differentiate from what true or not. Understanding crypto comes with the time and effort you spend on it. You just get better at it the more you study it and have experience with it. This makes it possible to be able to know what is false and what is true.

Youtube is full of crypto information that exceeded my expectation. If you like video type style content, Youtube would be the first platform that you should check since there's a really good crypto contents out there. If you like written format and like reading community opinions, this forum is the best place for you, second would be reddit in my opinion. Twitter or X is 50/50 for me because it is full of trolls and fake influencers but twitter is the most preferred social media of huge upcoming projects that's why I'm still using it. There are also good influencers on twitter that got my respect.

To be honest, newbies don't need to learn the deepest technical side of bitcoin. They just need to learn the fundamentals of it and also an experience on how to use it to become a bitcoin literate. This is much more easier compared back then where there are only few tutorials or guides in the internet.

The forum, and YouTube are the two platforms that helped me to gain knowledge not only on Bitcoin, but cryptocurrency in general.

TBH, the amount of false information back then was very small. All you can see at that time are kind of legit information that will help a newbie like me. Most of the time, I'm just watching documentaries because I will learn at least the basics at that time. Now, you can't even recognize which is true, and which are not true, and if you're a newbie, the chances of you getting mislead is kind of higher than in 2017. Gathering information would be beneficial if you're a newbie, but what if the information that you're gathering are not true? What if you're watching a video that's only created thru AI, and the contents of that video aren't true at all and worse, it may cause you to get scammed?

I don't know how to solve it TBH. Maybe just focusing on watching documentaries would be a better option to at least have a grasp on what is Bitcoin, and the basics of it. Over time, you will see new information as you browse online. Like what OP said, always be careful on the information we are getting because there might be a chance that the information that we are getting aren't true at all.

All new things will always have a level of adjustment in life so that things that are no longer suitable for use now due to the influence of technology must also be understood in as much detail as possible. So that we can sort out what is still needed and what is no longer needed, because if you only have the confidence and time to do all these things correctly without looking at the more important things to do, in the end you will also be very overwhelmed. So after research and time to do it, each person also needs to see which is more important for his or her own life.

As someone who feels like enough time has passed before I got involved with Bitcoin, one thing I've learned from this forum is to be always ready to research, but aside being ready to research you have to be ready to unlearn a lot of things. I think this rule is a general rule in life. Some things you might believe to be correct might be wrong and when you find out that your view is wrong, be ready to change and learn the correct view.
Some things may be correct before, but not right now or they may be wrong in the past but correct now, that is the dynamism of technology.
We have to have an open mind in other to grow.

The information newbies get will determine if they will do well in the beginning of the journey of crypto or not, but beginners always feel their is nothing to find out about bitcoin before investing , they are so eager to invest bitcoin to make profit. Beginners always have the mindset of making money in Bitcoin without trying to know more about Bitcoin,  most times this mindset of making money quick in beginner could from the people who told them about bitcoin which they were only introduced about the profit of bitcoin.  

It is important for newbies to get first hand information by making research to invest bitcoin in the right way to avoid mistakes that will lead to the lose of money.

That may happen to someone else if they didn't make some research and the source they are getting the information from is also not correct then yes, that person will surely learn the wrong information. This forum is also a source where you can learn many things about bitcoin and cryptocurrency. I would advice newbies to start learning here in the forum and only do some research when having a hard time understanding a topic or looking for other explanation of the same topic.

This is very crucial for newbies to be careful and cautious on every information that talks about bitcoin and the whole crypto market. We all know that scammers are just waiting around the corner to feed us with wrong and invalid information, and if we believe on them, we will end up misleading and might only believe on their own stories and not actually those legit and reasonable information. DYOR is the best possible way to prevent not to fall on misleading information. We can always DYOR patiently so we won’t believe on lies and made up stories by scammers.

Information are all over the internet and things can be answered easily if you search the right keyword. And as someone who researches, make sure that you have to verify all of the details that you're gathering. As a newbie as well, you need to check too, you're not just there to receive information but you all can verify every details that are fed to you. Not just because someone you know tell you so, you won't check it. That's wrong, you can always check it on your own.

Newbies are more susceptible to fake and invalid information since they easily believe on what people say about bitcoin, and that’s not new for newbies since majority of them don’t have sufficient knowledge and most especially don’t have skills in the crypto market.

However, if they will put it in their mind first to DYOR every information that they receive, then the less chances that they will be scammed. Scammers have big eyes for newbies, but newbies can actually prevent from being fooled by these people if they do due diligence to study and learn the market patiently.

When I found this community, I decided to seek help from there with anything I needed about anything related to crypto I always found the answer and I rarely ask them because all you need to know is right here. So far, everything has been good, and other things that are needed for making explanations for the other people that are not aware of the Ponzi Scheme and other scams that are related to crypto are available here and I was lucky enough to read those before I explained it to people that are interested in investing in bitcoins.

Thank you for the information that you have provided for newbies like us, every information to learn and gain knowledge about Bitcoin is very good. I have been going through Google and other sites that teaches about cryptocurrency and Blockchain technologies. This is why I decided to join this bitcointalk forum to learn more and gain knowledge to add to the ones that I have.  I know that there are many misinformations about Bitcoin and scammers take advantage of the crypto space to defraud people, that is why it is good make research about cryptocurrency before investing money.

It's either one is informed or deformed. That's a popular axiom out there. Those who put such up forget that one can still be informed but wrongly so (through misinformation). Not every information should be taken as truth. It doesn't matter the calibre of who is dishing the information. What should matter is the texture of information passed. Our various ranks here shouldn't be a prerequisite to guage our knowledge on all issues. Some of us are topic specific, especially given to our various fields of study and that's outside this forum. Anyone seeking to learn and be a better version of who they're before coming to this forum should verify all things said here. The only way to verify is search and research.

Apart from in Bitcoin, in order technologies there is always a great tendency of being misinformed. Every new technology does not present an easy opportunity to understand especially when it is totally new, I mean when it is not an old idea presented in a new way. In the case of Bitcoin which is someone technical, I do not actually blame people who misunderstand Bitcoin to an extent because it is not that easy to understand Bitcoin. Where my annoyance lies is that someone who does not understand bitcoin will proceed to teach other people the rubbish he understood thinking that it is the right thing. And because of the contradiction and misinformation about Bitcoin, many people are yet to embrace the industry.

Another thing that should be considered in order to curtail the level of misinformation about bitcoin is the place you learn Bitcoin. If you learn Bitcoin from the articles around the social media, you could be misled and before you realize you have already sinked the wrong information in your memory. But when you learn in an open forum like this, you will likely not be misinformed because any misinformation would be countered by another person and they entire public will actually know the truth. This I have said is one of the important factor that differentiates bitcoin forum from the media. Here, you will likely not go with any wrong information unless you are too lazy to research or engage in conversation.

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.


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.

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.


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.

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.   

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.

Who are top members in the Bitcoin community?

It's like you are self praise yourself as a top member LOL.

Misinformation is everywhere so we must have ability to filter and verify information we read. To learn Bitcoin, some websites to get started

https://bitcoin.org
https://bitcoincore.org
https://learnmeabitcoin.com
https://www.lopp.net/bitcoin-information/getting-started.html

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.

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 Bitcoin Talk site is the best place to express opinions. This place offers advice and opinions on all types of bitcoins, it also gives you a lot of insight on how to invest in bitcoins. So in any aspect I mark bitcoin beautiful advice as the best side. I enter this line mainly for gambling purpose, I am currently a huge gambling addict so with help from here I get success in gambling.

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.

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.

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, 

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.
