Topic: Bitcoin mentorship. (Read 301 times)

I know this may not be the response that you may be looking for however I just want to mention that while I agree which you write up, I personally I am a strong believer in peer mentorship. Simply put pair mentorship is learning from your fellow peers in the community without anything formal. For example, I learn from Charles, I learn from Brainboss, I learn from Rockbell , I learn from GiftedMan all about Bitcoin. I read their posts and comments they make about Bitcoin and follow their steps. And when in doubt or need a clarification, I simply ask on the forum and get help from the community. That's what peer mentorship means to me.

Bro mentorship dey very important for here for person wey dey come in as a newbie so that u go fit understand the forum and know wetin to do. But for another area u no go wait for person to mentor you for everything sometimes you fit find out say the one wey u carry ur own gain knowledge go sweet u pass the one person mentor you and na so e go dey sweet u for body come even motivate you to dey learn on ur own and from that na so u go take grow but if u come wait for person to mentor you always abi that person no get wetin em dey do bro learn to make ur own research and rely a little on mentorship na my talk be that.

U can see d level dis local board has grow to, dat is making other local board to admire d impact our leaders are giving to us here to improve in quality post and things dat will make us to like bitcoin and cryptocurrency,  u can see many people are doing well wit bitcoin investment because dey teach people wen to buy bitcoin from d market to have d chance to mak a good profit in d bull season, u can only find a good mentorship in dis bitcointalk and any impact dey render to people in dis forum is free and people are happy about their mentorship, but if u find mentorship outside dis forum, dey can scam u hoping dey are helping u bro, getting a mentorship is a good thing but don't review your personal details to dem all d name dey are helping u.

To be honest I prefer make you and your mentor dey very close so that una fit dey relate well, instead of long distance relationship wey fit break or fit no dey effective I prefer make make the person dey see one on one so that I go fit express myself fluently. Though it's possible to learn from distance but, it cannot be compared to when una meet physically. And to find mentor wey fit dey explain things for you well for this forum go hard, because everybody just dey focused on doing their own thing, though you'll definitely learn from lots of persons but focusing on one person to teach you, you'll get lost brah.

Is not bad having a mentorship who go dey teach u anything that related to BTC and crypto, but there are many scammers in d internet this days forming professionals and if u fall victim to them u will regret for taking such decision.

I guess u can learn whatsoever u want to learn from this bitcoitalk.org forum, and u will not going to be charged of any money like d way other mentors in some social media use to charge their learners.

If truly, u are ready to learn BTC and crypto without a mentor, I  will advise u to be more focus on this local board and other sectors to learn wen to buy from d market and wen to sell in d market to make profits.

Having a mentor in the forum is a good idea, but considering their unseen activities outside forum, I doubt if you'll the receiving  the kind of attention in which you desire. Actually majority of us here were forced to make our own research and learn from them, and I think that the best way in learning after receiving directives from the forum. Though learning from someone directly usually simplifies the process of learning but the problem is having a time to spare for teaching.

I concur to this "phrase willing to learn" as you said, mentorship that I know will only go through a smooth process if the learner abide by the rules and instructions of his or her mentor, different people with diverse way of thinking, there are individuals that does not keep to the terms and conditions of learning, no matter the mentorship they might have gone through, they will still follow their own ways of doing things.
I commend your level of understanding and detailed expantiation of mentorship, when it comes to learning that has to do with Bitcoin, it requires a dedicated and interested person thats ever ready continue abiding to his or mentor's advise, in conclusion, in every aspect of learning, be it in Bitcoin or any other aspect of life advancing skills, the learner has to be a listener and a researcher in other not to deviate from what he or she has been taught.

CAPITAL YES!
Bitcoin is an occupation and a big one at that, I actually didn't realise it until I came into this forum, I used to picture Bitcoin investment as just a part time stuff that people go into to get extra cash and something people didn't really take too serious, but coming into this community, my eye opened to many possibilities entailed in Bitcoin investment and that it's a full time job and occupation for a lot of people.

For some, rather than adding Bitcoin as a side hustle to support their career, Bitcoin becomes the career and they venture into other areas as the side hustle.

First of all, what's really an occupation?
It's something/anything a person gets engaged in regularly, it could be a profession, a skill or a role, or anything a person gets involved in order to earn an honest living or to pursue their passion, it can also be a way to tell how exactly a person spends their energy and time to achieve a goal.

This explains exactly how most people feel about Bitcoin investment, so that means we can boldly say Bitcoin is an occupation.

And I think that's exactly what a MENTOR is supposed to do, a MENTOR doesn't necessarily have to be a self installed title or a name.

A person who does all these stuffs you've listed here, whom you can always confide in, whenever you've got concerns or encounter certain difficulties in the course of one your researchs or findings is automatically a mentor, even when you don't officially address him as one.

You are absolutely correct, because there are some people that no matter how someone teach them or explain how crypto works, they won't even understand it.

Even if the person tried his or her best of their knowledge to impact it to others, they won't still be able to grab anything or understand anything, it's not really their fault or the fault from the mentor but they are not good or able to understand it and when we find ourselves in such case, we should not force ourselves rather we should look for something we are good at and what we know how to do best, that can be of help for us to understand our potential but forcing ourselves to learn or know about bitcoin might cause us a lot of errors in our lives.

Just as I start by saying mentorship no bad which means I no absolutely rule out the usefulness of a mentor for the crypto business and even the forum too, but just as you clearly talk am for the last line of this your talk say, "person wey you go dey confide in everything " na that area of everything I been the try nack nail on. Mentor no mean say you must the ask am everything, if we take mentor in that light na be say we go really dey dull to run out own research even for issues wey we no supposed take to mentor we go still carry am go because we sure say him go respond. Even that mentor go even dey happy say you come back the give am current informations on new trend wey don enter the industry than to the only go to collect knowledge from am only.. na two way thing.

Bitcoin mentorship is a good thing that an experienced bitcoiner would choose to do to give directives to someone new on the crypto space what on step to take.The place of a mentorship in the crypto space is absolutely good,but what annoys me most is when a newbie depend wholly on his or her mentor,there are times your mentor could be busy to attend to anyone or probably had a hectic day,in such scenario it's left for the person to carry his or her own research.I can't say all the knowledge I've acquired so far about Bitcoin was from my mentor,he only told me few words about Bitcoin and the rest I did my own research diligently and the forum is also a helping hand on my knowledge about Bitcoin.

Normally no be everything them go teach you finish na, no matter how e be you no fit Dey wait day everything you must learn from your mentor, if na so some of us go don tire already na, what you need to understand is that in everything you are doing in life immediately after person show you way just grab the opportunity and use to learn more so that if you do another thing the person will be surprise that how come did you know much, and again this days it is very easy for people to understand things online because if you sabi instructions somethings dey wey be say them Dey easy but you sef need to acquire knowledge.

Although them get people wey get mind teach you everything but it depends on how close Una be, for me the person wey introduce me to forum and about bitcoin really try for me and I will never forget am, the person try for me because up till now I still Dey ask him somethings wey I no know because no be everything person suppose know, it is good for someone to have who can lead you understand more about bitcoin because it will help you a lot to understand.

At first as a beginner in this forum, you have already given yourself a big advantage to learn from other cool users here.  To me I believe that the basic should be done by oneself not waiting for someone to explain for you , because as a beginner you should have the zeal to always make research not relying on others always.

Because that will only slow your learning phase. The best thing one should do is that as he or  she is learning some new things about digital currencies such as Bitcoin in this forum, he or she should back it up with some personal researching to build some Solid knowledge. And is not all about learning, the main thing is how one  use  those things he has learned .

Like me I've learned alot from users here , at first I was confused and stuff but as time goes I began to get the gists . Like knowing the beauty of being patient with your investment (holding). And how use those knowledge to build myself a good portfolio, but still a working progress though.

At one early stage of crypto, I go tell you say, needing or having a mentor is damn good and necessary for one to have, to help lecture them on what they should know about the basics of crypto so that they won't feel naive or thought of bitcoin to be a get rich scheme or a scam due to how the price of bitcoin fluctuates up and down without control or knowing what's her next price movement would be.

For bitcoin investment, if peso no get a mentor, em go hard am for crypto before em go learn wetin d involved in crypto investment. Before them go learn about crypto, dem don do several mistakes of misplacing their seed phrase, selling their bitcoin at loss price, not investing with their spare money and not being patient to watch their bitcoin investment generate profits for them.

As for me, I started without a mentor or menteee for bitcoin investment. I experienced wetin no d good before i was able to get expertise of crypto through this forum. Thanks to the forum

Bro your idea no bad oh, buy I don't think bitcoin is a complex subject that anyone would need mentorship on, why do I say this bitcoin no be skill, its not a job opportunity, bitcoin is a digital currency that people need to aware of, when you guys say things like this it makes it look like there is any rocket science attached to investing in bitcoin, to me the answer is no, all public person needs to know is how to buy and store his bitcoin and all this are basic knowledge, to be successful he needs to be a better person all together and maybe also little conviction that he us doing the right thing by investing in bitcoin, by been a better person I mean, staying patient, keeping good emergency funds and having good cashflow management. He is good to go, unless he seems to be interested in reading the whole whitepaper of bitcoin, my bro bitcoin no too complex for person to need mentorship, no be work.

Mentee before you choose a mentor in cryptocurrency,  choose someone that has evidence,  someone that's doing well in the crypto world, not a motivational speaker, lolz. Some people are good in teaching but they have no evidence,  that kind of person can't teach you how to be successful in a field he has not succeeded. No doubt mentorship is required in Crypto world, but choose wisely.  Every successful trader was once taught by a successful trader. 

BTC training is not as other skills that you feel you have known all, in BTC you learn everyday, it's a wide stuff, no one know it all, so do your best at your level.

This is just real definition of teaching how to fish not given one fish always, only the ignorant one that don't know that good knowledge given by one who knows the way is better than silver,  as the knowledge can get you gold even diamond and so on.

To seek instead of receiving gift is wise because is like investment of life or landed property that last long but gift like edible can be easily forgotten and one must keep requesting to survive which may not be available at the point of need.

I once had a menteee that was lazy. Couldn't do basic assignments and wanted to make money easily. I had to let him go.  You're right. Menteee have a bigger role to play imo..they just be willing and able to receive..

I think dis na one reason why the beginners and help section dey as an important part for this our forum, so that the oldies wey get better knowledge and don see plenty plenty tins for the crypto currency space and be members for here, go fit on a regular contribute unanimously to help nurture the newbies and Bitcoin enthusiate wey wan grow in knowledge.

Abi you want a kind situation wey be say, members go outrightly advertise themselves as mentors for here?

E go make sense sha, but the Koko be say, how many people get the time, attention and patience wey dey needed to groom newbies wey get interest for Bitcoin?

You've outlined brilliant formulation for mentorship.  mentorship is one way to help build knowledge and pass it to others, it requires a wealth of knowledge from the mentor to be able to easily transmit it to another person, as long as Bitcoin is concerned, before you can mentor others, you need to have a first hand experience of the activities of Bitcoin because of  how technical it can be. The mentee on the other hand should also be able to take a step further to make sure he does his own research, so as to enable him/her build their knowledge on Bitcoin sometimes without the input of the mentor, because you don't expect the mentor to always spoon feed you on every information about BTC without you putting any effort on your own.
