Topic: Be the Person [poster] You Should Be - page 2. (Read 600 times)

You do have a valid observation there and that's true. I've come across many like that. They post what is obviously not what they do outside here. They come here to promote and loud Bitcoin as the only coin they can buy and hodl but in reality they also invest in alts. In fact, most of them don't even have any bit of Bitcoin they're hodling. If you asked me I would say it's hypocrisy of a sort. Some give investment and trading advice whereas they don't even know what trading platforms look or feel like.

It's good you brought that to the fore once again. Sadly, many members don't think that's necessary to do before asking questions that have been repeatedly asked and answered. The search feature should do that magic and prevent needless repetitions of topics.

I understand your point too. Some newbies create accounts and go ahead and create a thread without checking anything. Either they are just spammers who want to get some attention, or they do not know how the forum works. If a newbie creates a topic and wants to know more about it, there shouldn't be any problem. But I have also seen some random users who create tutorial threads with wrong information. But that is very rare. Not too many newbies create tutorial threads when they need to learn. So, when we refer to newbies, it should not be the forum account rank but it should be the person's knowledge and experience. It could be a crypto newbie, tech newbie, you name it.

 Great post op. You make a fine point and I'm sure this is based on observation. The truth is some of these newbies actually know their onions but find it difficult to put in a way it would make sense hecr you see most of the posts coming out as off point or not making sense. Meanwhile there are the ones who are so eager to make their first post after passing the hurdle of registering that they get overwhelmed and just drop anything assuming that since this is a public space, there won't be any rules. Sometimes I feel it's their need to feel among that makes them do weird things like trying to teach ofmr organize a class on Bitcoin when their rank screams newbie. ( It's not as if one can't learn something from a newbie), but some of them are too hasty and rarely make research, don't know such subjects have been treated here that's why their work often comes out as late, funny or depending on the content, half baked.

A little addition from me, to get better search results, I often use https://ninjastic.space/search as a companion tool when searching on this forum. It can be limited to which boards are desired, and also it displays posts with search results that are easier to understand.

The query that can be input can be in the post body or post title, this is really a tool for detecting material related to the word you are looking for. You can even filter based on username.

It is highly recommended to bookmark the ninjastic.space page as a companion tool for discussions here.

Sincerely speaking I don't really get anything from this post rather it was from the title i tried to understand your point of direction, although from what I understand here you won't expect everyone to be professional posters or quality contributors to the forum there are some people who came to learn here and can barely make good quality post at the process of their learning but when such person has finally got used to the forum I believe that person can post with the ideas and knowledge gained here he can as well distributes to other places or even to help out some newcomers over here. So, you don't expect everyone to act as you or become professionals on what they are doing; I think in life everything has a learning process that is why we have a platform like this to help people and new users interact and shares their feelings and knowledge across the forum all for the general growth of bitcoin.

Thanks for the information because alot of newbies like myself really need it , for some reason I think most newbie think that the community is all about making big posts with grammar's even they themselves aren't fully acquainted with. Sometimes we ought to read to have more knowledge so we can give back that knowledge, if you fail to that and feel you can actually impress by speaking huge grammar that will confuse yourself and everyone then you actually going nowhere and many people will just start seeing you as an hippocrate who falls to get the full understanding of things because involving in an discussion.

Well show off doesnt necessary when you are engaging in such discussion. Maybe some tried to set off but anyone would feel that he is just boasting over what he knows and or course thats not a good trait. Maybe share what you only understand and dont be so confident cause others might have also idea that you are just showing off right. Some newbies tend to do that of course they are after the merits so they try everything even this.

My bad, newbies might be new in the forum but they might have vast knowledge about Bitcoin or another aspect of the crypto space. Such newbies could be helpful to the forum. Newbies could also ask questions and they will receive good answers from members of the forum. But my point is that sometimes some newbies come up with topics they know little or nothing about. That was why I compared them to new students who should learn more before they start coming up with lecture topics.

Newbies can help or teach other members if they have good knowledge on the issue.

The noise is from newbies who have yet learned enough knowledge but want to show off, with inaccurate knowledge. Their posts can mislead other newbies and other members at higher ranks. I would not say newbies must keep silent and only read but the noise if comes from threads that probably created by newbies to fish merit and contain many accuracy, will cause unwanted negative responses from forum members.

I understand your point. I believe that not everyone knows everything; there are still things that one person may not know but others do. Our experiences vary, and so do our perspectives. Everyone can contribute to a better experience for all users, regardless of their level of experience. We all start somewhere, and the learning process is ongoing.

Incorrect, Reddit ranks at 4th position, while Bitcointalk ranks at 39,778th position, the difference is really really far to be said as the most active forum.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say and what thing you're want to achieve, why you sounds like this forum has a strict rules? no one force make a post, no one force to become a good poster, you can become a shitposter or troll, anything you want.

You may receive neutral tag, but if you don't care with that, why need to make it complicated?

I do not have any problem and do not see any problem if a newbie teaches me something that I didn't know. For example, let's say I don't know how to use the CPFP feature with my electrum wallet, and suddenly a newbie suggested to me the way I could do it, do you see anything wrong here? I joined this forum in 2022, but that does not mean I didn't know about Bitcoin before 2022.

So, What if I came to this forum and guided a legendary about how he should use a feature of Electrum wallet? Would you ignore my valid suggestions just because my forum rank is newbie? I have created a thread to discuss this thing a few weeks ago and a lot of people agreed with my point.

We are not trying to impress anyone here, we offer what we know and aree made of, if you're giving a contribution, make sure you're doing that with an understanding of what you're doing, any post made that does not have a meaning is as nothing as shitposting and only spammers are found in this kind of situation posting off topic.


As simple and easier it is to make use of a search engine, some don't really still have the understanding of why and how they can make use of this same function to avoid repeating already discussed topics.

It has often been observed that not all beginners are true beginners. We notice threads from newcomers, but their following responses indicate that they are quite informed about life on the forum.
Most likely, this comes from the fact that people have a great interest in increasing their activity and their rank. By asking the same questions, some create dozens of alternative accounts for themselves. I think many of our forum members who decided to simultaneously start publishing on another forum are doing the same.
What matters is who we are to ourselves. Will we pretend to be newbies, will we lie to others, or will we still be honest, and above all, with ourselves? But people, unfortunately, go to great lengths for money.

Show what your true self is and what you are capable to do. If you are a newbie, then act as a newbie that have less knowledge and even no experience on what is happening around. That’s why you’re here because you need to create a substantial learning and build good experiences so you don’t need to pretend that you’re exceptionally good and can be as knowledgeable and highly experienced like the high ranked members in the forum.

Newbies need a lot of research and studying so they can understand the crypto space and can make quality posts and share their reliable experiences. So work on it to develop the best version of you, and not to prove to the rest of the members that you are better than then and can be more successful than them. This forum creates no competition. If you are seeing your co-members as your competitors, then you will likely thrive hard having that kind of mindset.

Some people don’t even know about the search features on the forum, some people ignore the necessary things which they are suppose to know on forum, all what they are always after is merit. When you join the forum, there are some basic things you have to learn even after going through the forum rules.

You don’t have to reply all the threads which you see on the forum, if you notice a thread that you have replied multiple times, then just ignore it, whenever I see a topic which I noticed I have commented to similar topic before, then I will pass, but if I notice a slight changes in the topic, then I can decide to make contributions and add anything which I think I have to add. I don’t think anything can be done about creating threads that have been created before. Most of the threads created by newbies,  have been created before, and I don’t think it can be stopped.

If you don't know what the topic is then you should make some research first to understand what it is so you can join the discussion. My guess why they post in a discussion where they didn't even know or understand the topic is because they want to show other forum members that they can post good quality posts too for the sake of getting merit and others post because they want to reach the required amount of post to get paid in a campaign. I have seen many forum members like that where it resulted in post bursting.

Who creates so many new topics? The one who is in a hurry not to learn but to increase his rank. We have all seen and known this for a long time. Newbies go out of their way to get noticed and given a few merits.
But let’s be honest, today’s beginners, lacking knowledge, find it very difficult to come up with something original that wasn’t on the forum. You probably need to be a little more lenient about this, at least in those cases when an old, well-known topic is presented that is at least a little more interesting.

I realized that, I even created a topic when I was first here on this board and that topic became my first post at that time.
After that, there was a gap of about a week for the next post because I didn't know where to start to find out what to focus on my study here.

During this break, I took advantage of all the boards to visit, for what? so that I know the basics that I need to learn.
Almost every day I go online but only read discussions.
Is this to misrepresent me to compare me with others? certainly not. Being yourself with your own thoughts is better.

Thank you for being willing to be the first to respond. I really appreciate. I hope this topic of mine that has made you sick doesn't spread to other topics.
Sharing is beautiful dude.


A+. Just describes how I understand your post. Thank You.

Misleading information can be very dangerous to the forum and users could serve penalty for engaging in such. In what you don’t know and you’re not sure of, you don’t have to share or express your thoughts about it, unless you’ll say it out in the content of your post as not been sure of what you’re saying (you can just let it be if you’re not sure). A lot of users here especially newbies who are here to gain some knowledge assume all information shared here are correct and accurate, some even have role models that they’re looking up to. If you’re one of them and share such news, you’ve just misled an innocent user here, that should be avoided by all cost.


The use of search engine have become a pain in the neck for many newbies that are coming into the forum. Repetitive posts have been discussed here several times but as the earlier newbies are been warned about it, the following week new ones will still do the same and the same warning continues all in the name of keeping the forum neat from spam posts.

Even when newbies cannot use the search engine appropriately, they can checkout boards that may likely carry the news they’re trying to share to know whether it has been shared before. That being said, it cannot be peculiar to older posts in the forum that are not breaking news that needs to be shared here.
