Topic: Bitcointalk is not an office - page 3. (Read 1057 times)

If we are being very frank we won't be putting all the blames on newbies, yes we understand the human mind keeps searching for wealth or money to sustain ourselves, but I would blame the people that are inviting newbies into the forum they are mostly the reason that newbies has a twisted thought about the forum and are oriented into believe you are only here for money.

I am lucky that I wasn't having that thought when joining the forum but many newbies face this issues and it takes the dedicated once to actually retrace their steps and start to do the right thing. I think we should start telling and guiding the newbies properly when inviting them into the forum.

To me i see BITCOINTALK forum as a kind of university (LECTURE HALL) because there is no kind of information you wont find here probably learn things from good quality POST. on the other hand we are all here to learn something that is going to take us along way in the crypto space not excluding other financial services.

Bitcointalk can never be an office. Though, there's a monetary benefit attached for using the platform but that should not be at the back of your mind, especially as a beginner because if you want to go down that path, you would definitely miss the big picture. A newbie should see the forum as a place to garner knowledge and valuable information about bitcoin and other crypto related stuffs that can be really helpful. Then, if the person has other skills or services he/she can render and be rewarded for it, then the person can go for it.

Lol, bingo!

Holy crap, I know what you're talking about. I think The Sceptical Chymist received that kind of PM long time ago, lmao. I'll edit this post once I found it.

Edit: I think this was the one that you're talking about. I can also recall marlboroza posting the same stuff but they all had that "Bitcoin Tshirt" and they were all in one community, iirc.

Bitcoin is not an office but a community where we can interact with others and give opinions based on what we think.
It all depends on how we see the forum and what we are really doing here. It is obvious that we can monetize our writeup by joining signature campaigns which is cool but that should not make us to think of not having a job that would fetch us some money as a Bitcoin investor. There are many things we can do here by trying to get information that would help us in our research, reading and leaning, monetizing our skills and many more.

I love the fact you realized sooner than later about this topic, OP.
The features that would first and furmostly distinguish the term 'office', is the presence of physical structure or space or work area.  This is one thing this forum don't have, as it can be likened to an almost decentralized social platform, just like the cryptocurrencies it hopes to tell more about.

Secondly, it is more or less like an online hangout community where there are many persons with one common language or common interest, which in this case is Bitcoin, Altcoins, shit coins, meme coins and the likes.

Mostly futuristic is the approach with which Bitcointalk is functioning and can't be in anyway compared to an office with steady paychecks, overbearing supervisors or bosses, wierd work buddies, even with the remote access and video stream exceptions most companies make.

I want to listen people does not like something that will disturb your head because many people have come here and also go because they don't understand what is actually happening here but from what I said so far I believe that here cannot be now an office the purpose why here is being created is to interact with each other in order to know how bitcoin and the technology works so this is the purpose not to buy any money from the forum

Firstly there's a reason this forum has some privileges that gives its members the opportunity to make money while they're members of the forum. We're in the 21st century and social medias where we spend majority of our time has implemented an avenue for their members to be able to monetize their hobbies and passions, the forum couldn't be any different. The forum isn't against you making money while you're using the forum but against abusing such privilege or using the forum just for the sore purpose of making money from here. We shouldn't have the mindset of just making money from the forum but are free to do so when the opportunity comes that's why we have service boards for announcing service we can offer for exchange for Bitcoin.

Newbies shoudn't consider the forum as just an avenue to make money or they'll miss the beauty of the forum. The forum should be used as a medium to pass on knowledge to the younger generation of Bitcoiner and a means to learn from the OGs that were in the game before we came. There are lots of knowledge on the forum and this should be our main focus (how to benefits for those knowledge) and not how to make money. Knowledge and Information is wealth and that should be our focused any other thing should be extra.

Members who solely register here for $ might not last, interest in cryptocurrency is foremost. I myself referred few friends here, yes I told them they could earn money here but they soon left because they didn't have knowledge about crypto and neither had interest to start the journey.

It is true that some newbies are taking the forum seriously as it is their source of living with no intention to put effort in learning. Maybe they got referred in the forum by someone who use this forum for bounty and that is why they think this is something where they have to maintain some office level quality.

You're sort of right. You did a great job by posting this because we all have to be guided by what we don't know if we all don't get to know this at the same time. Without making money on this forum, the majority of people won't be active. However, one thing has been said that we are all always available at places where we can get our daily bread. As a newbie, it is really good to know more about bitcoin before starting thinking otherwise that we should just get into it and start earning money as we think it.
Without learning more about bitcoin and this forum, we will eventually lose interest, which will result in nothing positive happening.

What you said is correct but everyone has their motive of joining the forum. I hope you will answer these questions you asked in later days. People will still ask you these questions again too. Everyone gets this knowledge from the newbie to the legendary level. In the number two. Most people came to the forum with that mindset and that is why they are caught with plagiarism and got ban. Bitcoin is a new course introduced in the world and the best place to learn is here. So anyone who is interested to know bitcoin is accepted to come here and learn. Merit only comes when you have understand what you are saying.

Even though it looks easy to earn money on forums, it takes a long time before an account can earn if speaking in the context of participating in signature campaigns. You have gone through several stages before being accepted into the signature campaign, concentrating on understanding the information on the forum and then learning from other users has shaped you from a Newbie to a Full Member.

Efforts to earn money on forums are not easy, it takes time and patience for an account to generate income. Those who give up mostly want to get income instantly without wanting to go through challenges on the forum, the challenge I mean is getting merit by making quality posts. You have benefited from the efforts so far, Newbies need to learn from you if the goal of joining here is to earn money.

How about learning and earning at the same time? If newbies have the goals of earning through the forum only they will do all the mistakes on the forum and they will either get banned or red trust, there is no way you will come om this forum without learning something first before earning, that's if you have interest in that, not all members on this forum are promoting projects to earn money.

I am promoting a project to earn some Bitcoin weekly, why not? I am only trying to keep the excitement of increasing my Bitcoin through campaigns and through dollar cost averaging, so far it makes a lot of sense and my Bitcoin is growing.

Maybe I agree in the above pint, at a minimum being able to educate yourself about Bitcoin and other digital currencies means learning about the technology, market trends, and the risks involved and then being able to make more informed and potentially profitable decisions in the future. When participating in forums, don't get too caught up in looking for "merit", which is the reputation system in Bitcointalk. Instead, focus on creating quality posts and engaging in meaningful conversations. This way, you can at least contribute to the community and establish yourself as a valued member.

It is also important to engage in conversations that are primarily Bitcoin related. By focusing on Bitcoin related topics, we can deepen our understanding and connect with like-minded people who share the same interests.

Bitcointalk is not an office, company or government institution that guarantees that someone can get money, this is a forum for discussion about bitcoin and also a place for sharing knowledge. Behind that Bitcointalk can be used as a field where you can make money "if" you know how, you will be even more interested in the Bitcointalk forum when you can wear a hat on your profile and then be accepted in the paid Bitcoin signature campaign. Simply put, besides being able to increase knowledge from information shared by other users, you can earn dollars from signature campaigns.

You can also sell services on the Services board as other users who have certain skills do, I think you will take advantage of the situation of making extra money on the forum when the road is open. I am very sure, you will do both learn the advantages and disadvantages of bitcoin while making money in your own way.

OP is right about what he's saying because if all these companies (mixer) that are hiring Bitcointalk users stop hiring workers many will not be on these forum regularly and some will not be active or neither come online forever but that doesn't mean, the truth of the matter is that almost everyone here will evaluate the forum rules because they are no longer getting what they want as before, What I understand about these forum on the aspect of joining a campaign for INSTANCE we all are still little and going to school to learn most of our guidance or relations normally gives us money or foods to school so as not to be hungry or have interest in what others are bringing to school, what I want to say is while we are on these forum to learn about Bitcoin it's also good to gain other things so it can motivate the users to always be regular on the forum just like using one stone to hit two birds.

Hahaha, it seems my reply affected you so much, lol. It's not an argument in any way, we are just exchanging opinions.

I'm not against people learning from this forum. Read the title of this thread and comment again!

If possible read my reply to OP again!

OP made some good suggestions on what newbies should learn here.

But that's not the case with my reply to him. I still disagree with the Topic that "Bitcointalk is not an office" because it's in fact an office to 90% of people here. For instance, it's much like saying "Linkedin is not an office" People are there to learn and make money mostly. In fact, it's all about making money.

The same applies here. Also, looking at you are profile, you have already joined a signature campaign to make money. If you still consider yourself a newbie, continue learning, and don't join any signature campaign to make money.

All of us are here to make money via Bitcoin. While most people are ready to rank their account here to make money through signature campaigns and gain meaningful connections, there are people who don't have time to do so (that's why there are copper members). I made a comment about this issue in my other posts.


Almost everybody here including the rich people and poor people is here to make money while maybe learning as well. You can't tell me that the first thing on your mind when you heard about Bitcoin isn't about making money - However, in the process of trying to make money with Bitcoin, you may be forced to learn things about Bitcoin that you don't already know.

Let's not focus on what we think Bitcointalk forum may be but what it's currently is.

Oh, I noticed that your name here is LearnBitcoin, that explains your thoughts on this topic.

I recalled someone posting a picture of a "farm"; people actually sitting around a table posting with different accounts to earn from bounty/ signature campaigns lol
