Topic: Bitcointalk is not an office - page 2. (Read 1002 times)

There is nothing wrong if you are providing a service or running a business through the forum, the problem is if you joined the forum just for the purpose of earning money through bounty campaigns and signature campaigns which are basically a bonus feature of the forum and aren't the primary focuses of the forum since the beginning.

Again, you can't go to a hospital and say that you are not there to get some treatment because most people would expect that based on where you are. So, if the primary purpose of the forum is to gain and share knowledge about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, people would expect someone to be here for that, mostly.

That is what it's all about, when you take the earnings as a bonus for your contribution, that's basically the right thing, but if you are here only for that purpose, you are basically not doing it the right way.

We have the same understanding about forums, and we know that the vision and mission of this forum was created to discuss everything related to bitcoin.

But as time goes by, Bitcoin develops, as well as the crypto industry, which gets very significant adoption from year to year, which forces open forums to be more flexible in response to developments in the industrial era. and bringing new ideas into the forum to create the forum atmosphere it is today.

Now this forum doesn't just discuss bitcoin, it seems that today the forum discusses much more complex things about this world, for people who have any purpose in today's forum, even if they don't intend to learn bitcoin they can still get the knowledge they are looking for here. , because today forums have multi-functions that can be used by anyone, including earning income.

I think it evens out in the end. Even if you register here merely to earn money, without your interest in crypto, you won't fund your stay here pleasurable and sooner or later you will leave, do you reckon any account staying for long time without any interest?

How does this work in the forum? I will love to know more about it. Can someone guide me through the link to go to get information about this.

It's also pertinent to mention that this forum didn't start giving incentives at its inception for posting through signature campaigns. It took a while, though I can't say how long that was, before campaigns became a thing here. I read some past posts dating as far back as 2011 and there wasn't a thing as that then. I like to be corrected on this if I'm wrong. What that simply means it that this forum has really metamorphosed.

Take a look at the way managers are coming up with different rules for enrollment now. In the recent past of yesterday, it wasn't so. Users on the same rank who got accepted into campaigns were paid the same thing. We can't say it's the same today on all campaigns. There are payment strata now for users of the same tank in some campaign, owing to merit difference. So, we can't say of certainty that there won't come a time when campaigns would be gone here. I know a lot of us wouldn't want to hear that 😂 but then we ought to know that change is the only constant thing in life.

Initially the BitcoinTalk forum was pioneered by Satoshi as a medium for exchanging information on Bitcoin, Altcoins and other things related to technology, but several crypto project campaigns or gambling sites emerged with the aim of increasing the prestige of their brand, now I myself am very grateful to be able to make money from this forum. I also got a lot of new knowledge about technology and also economic news that comes from this forum, in essence this is a really extraordinary forum, it would be a shame if you joined this forum just to chase money.

I don't really mind people think about bitcointalk as their workplace since there are so many businesses and service providers are staying here then get some decent deals or jobs comes from many people around the globe. That's why if they think about earning money here then its fine since its up to those people on what is their intention on why they use this forum and we can't force people to believe the same as what we think since majority here are staying to find good opportunity to earn money. Maybe it will be wrong to make this as something similar to that if those people use this platform as their venue or what OP called an office to make their planned scamming to happen since this is really not good action also a decision to be made by those scammers. I also believe that main goal of people is to learn a lot of knowledge here and earning is a bonus which if it came then it serve as a reward for the effort made by those hard working people.

Basically, this BTT forum was created to discuss the world of crypto, especially Bitcoin. So your opinion is not wrong at all. However, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong if beginners or members of the BTT forum have the intention of earning income or getting bitcoins. Because everything is available on this forum and is open to all members of the BTT forum who have met the requirements (quality of posts, rank and number of achievements). So I don't think this is a problem. Because the most important thing is that beginners or members can contribute well to this forum.

Apart from that, being able to earn income in the form of bitcoin on this forum makes each member even more enthusiastic in expanding their knowledge about the world of crypto, bitcoin and so on. So in my opinion being able to earn income in the form of bitcoin on this forum will have a very positive impact on the members of this forum. Then another positive impact is that many members of this forum are helped economically. Therefore, I don't think this needs to be debated. Because this has a very positive impact and the most important thing is that every member follows the rules in this BTT forum well.

That's right, crypto (bitcoin) is the main focus of discussion material in this forum. However, currently it is not just crypto (bitcoin) that is being discussed in this forum, but there are various things being discussed. Such as economics, politics and gambling. So I think the BTT forum now has a very complex and multi-information discussion path.

The forum is made of all kinds of people with different needs from the forum, and the fact that we have the people making money through the running of a business such as a mixer, casino, selling of all kinds of services and this can pretty much be called an office only difference from the traditional setups is that this one exists online and people that treat Bitcointalk as an office aren't far off either.

Am certain the primary goal is to share crypto knowledge with others but what good is this knowledge if it cannot be  infused with other services we get IRL ??

I agree with you, your list here is actually true, bitcointalk is a place where a lot of people with different motives come together to either discuss and transact and all with the intention of making money. There are miners inverstors, traders and people with other services come here to carryout their several services and to some they see bitcointalk as an office, they can’t do without it and they just have to be here everyday to earn for themselves. It’s more like an office where the workers have different goals to accomplish.

Everyone here have different services they provide which in turn they earn money from regardless of their rank. Some people rank up their accounts to perform advertising services for some companies and sone rank up along the line while contributing to the forum in their own way. We all have different motives so to OP bitcointalk is not an office but to some it their office.

Nobody is obligated to rank up their accounts by force but having an high rank account will give you reputation and will be easier for people to trust you and make your work more easier for you. Newbie accounts have the  ones carrying out scam activities the most that’s why it is difficult for people to trust a new account since creating the account is free they wouldn’t have anything to lose.

People have life outside of the forum so working here doesn’t mean you don’t do anything other than the forum.

Don't pretend, a lot of new accounts aren't here to really learn, some of them want to make money and they've heard that you can make money here by posting and so that's become their goal. I mean there's nothing wrong with trying to make a quick buck in the forum, aside from learning stuff about cryptocurrency and bitcoin there's nothing wrong but it should never be your priority if you want to be an active member of the forum because the money you earn equates to your rank and given how difficult it is to rank up especially for the upstarts. But I think that this topic isn't really for the newbies, this is for the people that are on campaigns and are just trying to get by with their posting at such a low quality.

Really nothing is wrong with what you saying but where the problem lies is when members put that EARNING first, like it makes it the main purpose of joining the Forum in the first place. Everybody needs money no doubt but you have to check your surroundings and ask yourself "is this the main reason (just to earn) for this place to be alive up till now?"
To me when you come here in the Forum, do the needful I know everyone has a target but don't let that Earning stuff get into your head, make this Forum a place that you need to get and sharing your knowledge about Bitcoin, contribute, get yourself well known especially the new ones before you know it what you had in mind will just be presented on your table without you knowing.
Bitcointalk might not be an office to few but it is to many and they respect everything that goes on in here and they won't want to go against any rules and regulations of this Forum. Those who sees this place as an office are those who respect this place with everything they've got, because you only take good care of something that's important to you and you devote your time to it.

I don't think there's anything wrong if we join here with the aim of earning money as well as to discuss sharing experiences and seeking knowledge, because after all we really need money so I think if we can earn money here there's nothing wrong if we are looking for money here while discussing and add insight.

I think we as members of the forum should enjoy everything that is available here.
because most importantly we have to comply with the rules of this forum.

You are right there, because there are others here who are members of the forum, they give a different meaning to the others who are newbies, saying that the only reason they are here is to find income from bitcoin or crypto.

Even if we say that others only aim to gain knowledge about bitcoin, cryptocurrency and trading, of course as time goes by opportunity also for them if they become eligible there is nothing wrong if while they are studying here they can also earn It's just that the others are just malicious and have something to say, but after all, those who think like that are also making money here on the forum.

Bitcointalk is a learning and acquiring knowledge on bitcoin platform. Even though you don't have the basic knowledge on bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, you can learn a lot from here. So what the person has to do is to observe the activities of the forum. Before start posting. But I know that everyone has their own way of joining the forum.

Bitcointalk is a learning and educating platform and not to do gossiping and other bad activities. I welcome everyone both the old and new members to the forum.

Agree.


Agree and disagree. Many users signed up on this forum for several reasons and earning in bitcoin on the side while learning about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies could be another reason. It doesn't stop one from from the good, ugly sides of bitcoin and the market.

Agree. And you learn by contributing. You learn too by participating in signature campaigns. Some signature campaigns select prominent members of the forum. This could spur a newbie to want to be a prominent member and that is through getting more involved in the discussion that goes on here.

Agree.

Agree and disagree. Being conscious of merits reduces the rate at which one makes low quality posts becasue only high quaity posts gets merits 9 out of 10 times.

Disagree. Know about economics and gambling and the rest. Bitcoin is only a part of the whole and not the whole itself. Be versatile.

Yeah, Bitcointalk is not an office, and the points you made are valid, but the thing is, people get on the forum based on a reference from someone who gives them full hope of how they can start earning a living if they join the forum, and that's why most people just rely on the SATs they earn each week. I remember the ban appeal of DiMarxist, where he was begging to get unbanned, stating that he is a student, which means he's probably relaying on the signature payment he receives here as funds to see him through his academics. Of course, it's not bad to get some side hustle jobs to earn money from, but only relying on them is not a wise thing to do. My mentor on the forum (...) would always say that, "In some situations, what we count as a realiable source of income may not be realiable." Users can just see payment from campaigns as a way of receiving incentives from their contribution and, as a side-hustle, let them get some real work to do, learn a skill with the payment they earn from signatures, or perhaps even start a business.

The bitcointalk forum is certainly the majority of posts containing discussions about bitcoin and other cryptos. Because this forum was built to discuss questions or problems about bitcoin and crypto. Then if understood and examined more deeply, I'm sure the majority of members in this forum definitely want money. But by first learning about bitcoin or crypto science. Such as learning about the techniques that must be used to trade on the crypto market. Then the learning can be obtained through discussion among fellow members of the forum. So in essence the members who join this forum, when viewed from the earliest intentions, are definitely aiming for the profit aspect, which is obtained from cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin.

And in my opinion, if beginners think about money or profits when joining this forum, I don't think they are completely wrong. The most important thing is that these beginners can still contribute well to this forum and not violate the rules and conditions of the forum.

You are probably right and I would also say that the people who invite new people to the forum by telling them that they can earn money from here are the ones who should be blamed for all the spam and newbies having the mindset that this forum is some kind of office where people can do jobs and earn money while they are unaware of the fact that the earnings from the forum are only a kind of a reward for quality posters.

Newbies start inquiring about how they can earn merits, how they can join signature campaigns, and how they can earn money right after joining the forum instead of asking about anything related to Bitcoin, blockchain, cryptocurrencies, or anything like that which the forum is actually for.

Personally I think that earning money or incentives can be a motivating factor for people to be more committed to reach their desired goals. So I think that it doesn't matter if it's money that is the motivating factor for a newbie, or he considers bitcoitalk as an office, what matters is that you have to be committed and follow the rules and regulations of the forum in order for you to be ranked.  Let money or whatever motivate you, but get the job done first, learn passionately about bitcoin and all it's complex technicalities and terminologies, learn how to make money with bitcoin, make your contributions in the forum with quality posts. Hopefully in the short or long term, reward will come.
