A small part of my experience on BTC-talk.
My date of registration on this forum =
July 14, 2017, 02:41:47 PM, as this is my very first registration on a forum. (Just to show I'm a late registered member on the forum, and a lot can happen in less that 2 years .... )
As many do know i'm not the most advanced online living person and the most I know from being on a forum, writing posts, having some computer skills (still very poor computer skill) are coming from being on
BTC-talk.
But what I do have to say is that from my time being I have read from all kinds of people, I have read the most kind persons, the most polite persons, i have read
BTC-related the most helpful and bullish persons, also I have read
BTC-related person who are bearish or didn't support BTC (NOcoiners) but still in a polite way, then of-course I have been reading the worst as well from being extremely annoying, spamming, talking nazi sh*t, talking real bad stuff etc... Don't fall in those last groups of members ...
As newer members you can have your opinion on the matter, but please write with common respect as we don't know each other and we are all RL persons just talking to each other.... and don't let the worst of yourself come out
You can easily insult others and I don't think thats what should happen.
We all have very different reasons of writing here (I think I write a bit of myself in here
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.51865038), but as I say some come here to try and learn, some to share there knowledge and help others, some for both, some for trying to make some money, some for sports and gamble things, and of course some to spread FUD and spam the place Again please don't be the last mentioned group....
Probably when people start writing in here notice they will start as a newbie and are able to rank up over time (this will require amounts of activity from being active on the forum and require merit, earn those if another member award it towards you, can come from good content or when someone respects your opinion etc).... for many its a goal to become Legendary but keep thinking thats only a rank on the forum, don't let this discourage yourself from writing content and learning from very knowledgeable people on this forum, cause there are plenty of those.... the merit that one can earn and activity will come over time, don't be bothered to much with that (just stay a bit humble and kind towards the other people in here, cause existing members do take this place very serious as this is a great community, so join with respect)
Now besides of my start of being here and besides of learning in here.... I have been writing with some extremely kind and fun people that I respected and got respect from .... From a few years of writing even some friendship was born (Yeah I know
online friendship...), but indeed as I remember a member on a topic I write on made a joke/statement like "Mic this are non real persona's" or something "they are nothing like friends...", You will NEVER meet those people!
Of-course I have proven that specific member he is wrong (as he was with a lot of things he approached me with, like I wouldn't pay a prize a awarded etc), but as I was saying I have met with at least 15 people from this forum IRL where I do believe some real friends came out of and who I will keep seeing IRL more as that one meeting I had with them... If people are kind and have a mutual respect for another some nice things can be build on that. I do have a lot of people I know IRL and I didn't need to search for friends etc but from writing long periods also some kind of friendship happened and i'm glad with that.
So I really have to thank Theymos for creating this amazing forum, cause it attracts the people of the
BTC community who are amazing people...
(Of-course at all places we will find the rotten F***s as well but don't let them discourage yourself of building your own important things in life)
Besides of myself, I know a lot of other members have meet up IRL as well and I think its amazing, places like this gets
BTC'ers together and thats a good thing !!!!
