Topic: Believe is what you don't know. (Read 200 times)

OP, even though you state that you don't want to be seen as a religious person, your post signals that. There is a difference; you create a religion out of Bitcoin, which to me generally looks like serving mammon. Once again, what does this phrase tell you? "You shall not make for yourself an idol."
But you mixed investing in Bitcoin with the forum in one post. What if you suddenly move away from the forum for whatever reason? Will your faith stay with you? After all, you are an investor, receiving a certain amount from subscriptions.

There is no need to be baffled about how the result plays out, some things in the crypto space can't be changed or evaded, most lessons I learned are after making my mistakes, it's fine to believe in Bitcoin but it's wrong to depend on Bitcoin financially, reading your post makes me feel like you are too dependant on Bitcoin, we can't ignore a fact how Bitcoin is still a risky asset, so giving your entire life to Bitcoin is not a safe bet. Have a business aside and live your life, then invest what you can on Bitcoin, Two heads are always better than one.

At first when I heard about bitcoin,I felt it was a scam to be precise,but my close friend told me what I've not heard before about bitcoin,and the way investment is been done here.i had a zero knowledge about it and wasnt even eager to learn.But after my friend introduced it and showedy how it works,I felt amazed and became very interested,and eager to learn.I learnt it for sometimes and I had a little idea and knowledge about it,It was then I picked interest and begin to lean more things about it,and then something in me told me I was doing the right thing.Since then,I had the believe that Bitcoin was for me,and till now,I'm still on it,and will always remain on it untill I get to where I want to reach.

To get the most out of bitcoin, you have to focus and work hard because you won't be able to earn or achieve what you want without it. There have been many people who have succeeded in achieving it and it has been happening for a long time but there are also many people who have failed to achieve it because they think it is difficult to do and they want instant results.

In addition to focus and hard work, they must realize that time will tell whether their hard work will produce the results they want or will not be what they want.

If you believe in bitcoin, you should start looking for more info about how to use bitcoin to make a profit. And as a beginner, that's what we have to do.

We will be like walking zombie if we only believe on the words they say. So we really need to research the information we receive so that we can create a good critical thinking and can react accurately base to what are the best thing to do with certain situation.

Sometimes people easily believe on what they hear especially if this one coming from a person they are looking up to, they always believe that they will not tell any dangerous things and their word is always a word of wisdom to them that's why we see some of people been fooled by deceiving information or those blatant lies.

Despite religious things, for other things, to believe in them, we must do research, get knowledge to clear our curious questions before we can actually have belief in them.

If you don't do any research, don't learn about what you are interested in, later if you I believe in it, it is a lie. Or at least you are lying yourself and why do you do that with yourself?

You are greed and lazy. Lazy enough to don't do research and learning. Greed enough to bet on things you don't comprehensively know about it.

If you want to get the best out of Bitcoin investing. Then you need to know better about bitcoin investment first. If you don't think carefully about Bitcoin investment, you can lose money by investing in Bitcoin. So first know well about bitcoin investment then invest then you can get the best.

Personally, I think that getting the best out of Bitcoin investment requires a combination of belief and dedication. As the saying goes, "where there's a will, there's a way." If you truly believe in the potential of Bitcoin and its community, and are dedicated to putting in the necessary time and effort, then you will likely see positive results over time.

However, it's important to note that investing in Bitcoin, or any cryptocurrency for that matter, comes with its own set of risks. And who knows, you might just be pleasantly surprised by the results.

I don’t know man.. I’ve been seeing a lot of weird ass threads pop up that are neither educative nor informative. Apparently, bitcoin has been so good to people that they feel the need to tell fairy tales to receive accolades or some acknowledgment from forum members in form of merits. Precious merits needed to be eligible to participate in signature campaigns.
Thankfully, a whole lot are still actively involved in teaching, gaining and sharing knowledge for the furtherance of bitcoin adoption and enlightenment.

There is a difference between knowledge and belief. Knowledge denotes verifiable information whereas belief denotes an opinion, whether widely accepted or not. That is why there is also a significant difference between "to know" and "to believe."

In the context of Bitcoin, there seems to be a growing behavior that somehow subjectively treats the technology beyond what it really is. We cannot deny that there are individuals who seem to exalt Bitcoin as if it is some sort of religion, a mana sent from heaven, a panacea, a silver bullet that addresses poverty, inequality, wars, corruption, and all socio-economic ills.

Do not just believe in Bitcoin. Verify whether it is worth believing or not. Be practical. Be realistic. If some kind of Bitcoin jesus preaches to abandon everything and follow Bitcoin, don't believe it. Bitcoin is never the be-all and end-all of human existence.

You’re not at all sounding religious when you say you believe in the potential bitcoin has. I also believe bitcoin has a lot of potentials.

I didn’t realize willingly writing and sharing opinions about bitcoin and other stuff, posting comments and creating new topics on here are what I would call tasks. Unless of course it’s somewhat of a requirement for you. Perhaps for a reward? I really fail to grasp how just writing on here would come off as stressful.

If you truly believe, then participating in discussions on the forum without any incentives will definitely not come off as too much work or being stressful. If someone feels discouraged to participate in discussions without some sort of incentives or reward and decides to quit, I say good riddance.

I'm a bit tired reading your thread maybe because full of motivation.

I hear a lot of members here get success after joined on this forum. Maybe you won't believe if there is a member who can buy a house, car, and even build a company by getting money/bitcoin from this forum. I know that member is really focused and giving full time for this forum by posting and answering the query from other members who ask. maybe because of his sincerity, he get sustenance from God and success.

First I want to refute the title:   "Believe is what you don't know"., you cannot believe something that you have no idea what it is.  So before anything else when it comes to belief, a person must have an idea about a certain matter, it may be vague or fully known but still it needs the spark of knowing.


You do believe in Bitcoin because you have known something about Bitcoin that can help you in your dreams of becoming financially independent both in the economic context and the Bitcoin context.  But I bet you won't even give attention if Bitcoin does not offer you anything.

Anyway, before believing anything, we should verify if the fact is proven to be true, so there is a need for research and learning so the effort won't be wasted.  Most newbies are exploited for being naive and oftentimes misguided into doing things in the wrong way.  So it is still best to verify every piece of information that we came across before believing it.  This way, we can be able to improve ourselves in the right way.

I must confess that I find your post interesting but it is very difficult for me to understand the write-up. Most people are in this forum not really because of the gain from the group but because they have confidence that Bitcoin will always be a good currency and investment. As you said, they are believers in this currency. But it might not be proper to relate or compare the confidence you have in Bitcoin and the forum to the faith some people have in their creator. some religions believe that their God is all-powerful and infallible and I don't that Bitcoin or bitcointalk can have such kind of influence.

Believe, having to do with faith, right ? Well, it's just normal and a needful thing to be dedicated to what one thinks is worth the effort they put into it so they can get the result they desire. OP, people can believe in something were as they are not putting any effort to it, especially if it's something that they think will be beneficial to them, so In my knowledge, I think you mean it is "always good to be dedicated to what one thinks can pay off". for example, I have a friend who have been believing in Bitcoin since 2019 till now but he has not purchased Bitcoin for the first time since then, he is always saying he doesn't have spear money to buy.    So my point is you can just believe, without putting any effort to it, but you cant be putting effort and being dedicated without believing. definitely if you become dedicated and see a good result, you will believe ! Instead of just plainly saying the "Believe" 🤣😂

I guess that's where most of us started, from the earnings we got from this community, we venture to become traders, investors and holders or we might have put business whether online or offline specially if you have been here for at least 5 years or so.


As the saying goes, patience is a virtue. If we learn things through our hard efforts, then it's going to be a great feeling overtime. So it will take some time but if you the perseverance and the mental fortitude to stay here and then earn and to take "risk", sooner or later you will be rewarded and the outcome is going to be big. So just stay focus and be positive.

Hard work indeed pays off and you’re already a proof to that already. With what you’ve learnt from the forum after having a means of earning here, you’ll encourage and be a positive minded tool to those you can influence around you through what you’ve achieved so far in the forum and in life generally.


Misinformation is primarily responsible for newbies becoming bored with the forum and eventually leaving without fully grasping the concept. Some may have been told that there is a money earning platform where you can quickly receive a source of income, but what they fail to comprehend is that you will never reap what you did not labor for if you do not put in any hard effort. Forget about the benefits for a moment and focus on developing yourself and gaining adequate expertise to allow you to continue in the community and contribute more here.

If you read in-between the lines, you would understand i meant that I believed in the result of the effort I put in more, both here in the forum and real life, rather than the knowledge I claim to have of Bitcoin and its many uses.

You can believe in the potential of your Bitcoin investment, but you are better to not expecting earnings from this forum. If we still earn money from the signature campaign now, it is because the signature is still worth it as a project promotion. Someday in the future, the signature campaign may be no longer worth it as a part of project promotions. So, this forum may have no campaigns anymore. In that situation, you must be stressed if you too much believe in any campaign in this forum. Or maybe, this forum disappears in the future, you will be jobless if you rely on the forum for your income.

Focus, hard work, being consistent about what you do will help you get satisfactory results. When all the above points are implemented in whatever your activity is, then I think it will be rewarded with return.

This forum is a good discussion space among worldwide crypto community. Most people can get great results on forum through signature campaigns, bounties, designs or some other thing, but rest assured this should not be the main goal of anyone using forum. If you have money, trade or invest in bitcoin. I'm sure we'll get worth it returns from this volatile asset, but don't discount the risks.

I don't think you should believe in a forum, even as part of a community.  This does not mean that the forum is not useful.  There are many Bitcoin enthusiasts who are not enthusiastic about the idea of ​​being on a public forum, and this does not change their character.
Another important point is that being enthusiastic about the idea of ​​Bitcoin and being one of its supporters does not necessarily mean being enthusiastic about investing or making profits in any way.  Investing is one way to benefit from Bitcoin, but it is not the only way.  There are those who prefer to use bitcoin as a payment system.

When one is doing what he or she likes, it gives him joy. I don't see posting in this forum as a task; I see this place as a learning environment in which anything, I mean any kind of knowledge, can be acquired. It's just a matter of dedicating your time to that field, asking questions, and being gradually guided by your experiences in those fields.


The signature and bounty earnings in this forum are just something I see as an added advantage. And when you are now wearing a signature, that's when making a few posts becomes a task; if not aside from that, there is no task given to anyone to be making posts here in the forum. You can contribute, share opinions, etc., or you can just sit and learn from the background. It's not compulsory to make a post; it's only mandatory when you want to get paid.

Engaging with others here should hardly be a task but something we enjoy doing. You do not need to set posting here as a task to be accomplished but a discussion session with the benefit that you would leave the forum with more knowledge than you had when you logged in.

Even when on a signature campaign, only communicate at a comfortable rate to avoid burn out and running out of ideas.

You don't really even necessarily need to "believe" in whatever work you're doing here on Bitcointalk to be "successful". Simply just talk to people here about Bitcoin/crypto and if you actually know what you're saying, you're going to get "results"(a.k.a. merits). People need to stop over-complicating Bitcointalk lmao.

First thing first the forum isn’t a school where you either get it right or you’re sent home. This is a discussion forum where you engage freely about bitcoin. All these stuffs about believing yourself and sorts like that only create unnecessary pressure for those that are eager to get up the rank ladder through getting merit. The sole purpose of these forum is to help us learn more about bitcoin although we got the opportunity to earn from the paid signatures here which I wouldn’t lie is one of the most driving tools here.

First your priority should be having the knowledge that brought you here(if at all it is) and not going round hunting for merits with needles creation of threads. Stop treating the forum a hit or die trying place.

 How do I get the best out of Bitcoin investment?
I started with this question because of the way we newbies ask this casually without knowing that we express fear or show timidity by asking this.
I heard a message in form of an audio I was listening to sometime back, about how we as humans believe in what we know little to nothing about compared to the term used to describe the fact that we cannot believe in what we know so much about.
Both the Christian and muslims or some other religions practice a belief which points to a supreme creator or being which overseas all human affairs. While this is true for some who believe and have claimed to have been witness of this faith, others who have come to other conclusion summarize the way they feel this supreme being operate and think they know so much about the creator that it takes away the power to believe that anything supernaturally out of the ordinary can happen, which isn't already figured out by advancement in science and technology.

I don't want to sound religious but my point is that, I believed in the potential of Bitcoin and its forum/community to the point where be it my earnings come from my dedication and focus to it.
As a newbie my advise for you is to believe in whatever efforts you put in here and truly the outcome would amaze you overtime. Wherein there is no believe in the system and operations of its forum, the task to post comments, create new topics or participate in its competition will only come off as too much work or stress and might lead one to become discouraged and quit in the end.

Believe in what you give your time, focus and energy to and be baffled how the results play out.
