I think there are so many other Reasons why you shouldn’t buy an account but this is just as I’ve known.
It’s not advisable as a newbie to buy an account.

You can add other general disadvantages that concerns everyone.

These are some good points and I don't think till now I saw any topic like this before so yeah it's a good topic for everyone to avoid buying and selling accounts. What's the real point in buying accounts besides the buyer wants to get accepted in some campaign. He/she won't learn anything like you said a newbie buying hero or legendary rank account and asking about newbie rules like merits, activity, or what BTC blockchain is then that is total disaster.

Then to save themselves they will use AI and will get caught easily. To be honest, I did not saw much cases about people getting caught after long time that they aren't the real owner although saw some topics started in marketplace where they tried to sell account and I saw one site too where they listed accounts (not details) but only rank and price.

Bitcointalk forum is one forum that holds the reputation of it's members at a very high esteem. Account buying in this forum should be highly prohibited because such transactions doesn't only put the buyer at risk, but every member of this forum will also be at risk. This is because, a new member with a questionable reputation will be added to the forum through the back door. If he turns out to be a scammer, some members of this forum might innocently fall victim to such scams thinking they are dealing with the account they used to know. Trust will obviously be lost in the forum

It is very beneficial for newbies to create their own reputation by themselves. Account buying does not erase the bad reputation of the previous person (if he has one). Imagine inheriting a bad reputation from another person simply because you do not want to start from the scratch, the aim of buying the account might not be achieved.

Those who are in a haste to acquire an already established account raise questions. What exactly is their motive? Are they seeking benefits or trying to scam people by appearing trustworthy?

You know it's not easy to build a reputable account in the forum; it requires time, energy, and dedication. For someone to want to bypass this process, there's already a red flag. Similarly, when someone sells their established account, it raises suspicions. What went wrong after working hard to build it? Why sell it off?

Buying an account is not advisable because both parties usually have ulterior motives, which are unclear. It's best to take your time and work your way up the ladder. It's more profitable and safe.

Why even buy an account when you can build one if you have the forum in mind, or if you really want to learn about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency? This forum is the best place to learn about Bitcoin and crypto with the right and accurate information and orientation because almost all the information shared in this forum is verified. After all, the forum members will have to look at it and discuss further about it.

Anybody who buys an account in this forum has only one aim, which is to earn money and not knowledge.
People selling the accounts also have their own faults because your effort to build a good and maybe reputable account will be in vain because the account will be no longer relevant again once noticed.
Newbies, be patient enough to learn and interact in the forum, ranking up will be easier once you understand the forum, and you also keep contributing positively to the forum.

Regardless of your position, it's still discouraged in the forum to buy or even sell an account. Most especially for newbies where you should focus more on acquiring basic knowledge and information so you can understand the nature of bitcoin and its market itself.

Now, if your purpose is to participate and earn from a signature campaign, then the more that you should know bitcoin well and take the learning process.

Remember that, signature campaign aims to provide quality and valuable posts that will educate the reader itself, and any newbie in position won't be able to achieve that without taking much time learning and understanding not only the forum but most especially bitcoin and all its stuff that revolves around the crypto market.

Don’t Buy Bitcointalk Account as a Newbie

From the title, it seems that only beginners should not buy BTT accounts, and what about others who are much more experienced? To be honest, it was never normal for me, but even there before 2015 it was quite normal to publicly buy and sell BTT accounts, things changed only after that.

I remember one case where a Legendary member was caught in plagiarism, and then he claimed that the plagiarized posts were from the previous owner, which was even proven by the forum administration.

In any case, you cannot forbid anyone from selling/buying BTT accounts and merits, and this is certainly happening in the background, the only question is to what extent.

4. Making Low quality posts:
The experience and creativity garnered during the growing process will be lacking. Sometimes you see some posts from high level members looking weak and poor, due to laziness to properly research.

It will be very easy to dictate a high-ranking account that a newbie handles. The level of knowledge about discussions, especially regarding the forum will be very shallow. These newbies can do research and engage in discussion but it takes time to understand the forum's culture. Sometimes you just see a high-ranking account applying for a campaign even when it is clearly written CFNP. Most of them do not understand these terminologies because they are not the owners of their accounts. Their intention is just to aim for money, so they just apply for these subscriptions without understanding. Buying an account is like building a house from the roof instead of starting from the foundation.

I don't see any reason why someone would want to buy an account in this forum except for cheating or selfish reasons that are probably going to be scams.

Come on

. Are you pretending now, or are you trying to pretend to be someone who doesn't know all the benefits of high ranks?
Everyone understands perfectly well that to raise an account to good ranks, not only knowledge is required but also time. Even those people who can write good posts, those who receive a sufficient number of merits, cannot quickly get the rank of legend. And here such "benefactors" come to the rescue, ready to sell an account with a high rank.
There is a big difference in the interests of people coming to the forum. Someone comes out of interest in Bitcoin, and someone is going to use the forum to earn money, and there are most of them. The one who buys an account will most likely be detected; on the other hand, to attract the attention of the company's signature manager, active participation in the forum is necessary. So even with a purchased account, getting into the company's signature is quite a difficult task for such accounts today.

More importantly, someone can use your account to commit scam, which harm your personal life if the victim is serious to find the owner.

That's true; the buyer has no idea all the transactions committed by the seller. You may be buying a scammer account and you will shoulder all the bad actions the seller has taken so its high risk buying an account because you have no idea what's the whole history of the account.
Its better to start with fresh new account and work your way to the ladder; there's a feeling of satisfaction for every rank you achieve, so challenge yourself and go to the process.

Not your keys, not your coins!

They can use their money to buy accounts but they must know risk of get reported in Old Accounts That Have Likely Been Hacked/Traded. Account change hands can trigger forum security to lock that account too.

If you are an account buyer, you will nearly not able to prove that your original owner and claim your account back through account recovery procedure in the forum. It's biggest risk by spending money for purchasing account, and at the end, it's locked and becomes useless.

If it won't be locked, you will not be able to use it too well because forum members will report it in the shared thread.

You can add other general disadvantages that concerns everyone.

Well as starter if you buy some will tagged that account as purchased account. Though buying and selling is allowed the DT system doesnt permit it at least for users who has compassion on dont having multiple account.

Maybe for expert one already in here and got familiarity probably he/she can mind or handle it the only thing is how can he prove its not bought account.

It's been frown upon to buy accounts, and this is the very reason why the merit system was introduced way back in 2018 to curb this practice.

So not sure if there are still people who buy accounts here.

Perhaps one reason though is to run a scam, specially if they will buy like a old Legendary account. Nevertheless, most of us here have been in this community for the last 7 years that we can smell if a account is bought and there are a lot of great members here who can do a full investigation and see that it really change hands already.

Asides cheating,I can help you with one major reason among many. Which is, they want to jump the gun! They think it's stressful growing an account in the forum from scratch and they just needed an already made, so in no time they can get acceptance into a signature campaign.

If they want to join signature campaigns paid in bitcoin, that are good campaigns, they will not be able to join these good campaigns with bought accounts. These campaigns are managed by professional and experienced so they have enough skills to detect bought accounts and surely they will not accept bought accounts with low quality post history.

Well, you may be right about the versatile experiences of the campaign managers especially in selection of accounts based on quality posting but am not really sure they can always decipher which account is a bought account or not in the selection process except for where recent posting quality drops or a pattern change in posting style is suspected which is something any old forum member can also easily identify. Having said that, I also believe not all bought accounts are identified in the course of time as there are persons who get smart enough to get away with it.

there's always this stigma that comes with buying of account and it mostly suggest that you're the kind of person that doesn't follow due process and if that's the case, the likelihood that you bought the account to carry out scam activity is going to be high.

If there's a need to have an alternative account for some genuine reason of maybe expressing yourself in matters you wouldn't want to do with your main account like I've observed from some top forum members, I don't think that's against the forum rules but buying account generally is not the best of practice and will even make it look like all the people that struggle to build their account and reputation from scrash are being foolish. Make the sacrifice of building your account from scrash, learn about the forum and Bitcoin and in the process of doing so you're going to have the best of journey on the forum going forward.

So, does it mean buying an account as an user who already familiar with the forum is advisable, good and correct decision? Roll Eyes

I don't see a good reason to buy Bitcointalk account even it's for participating in signature campaign because post frequency, quality post, merit history etc are important, just because you have a legendary account without negative trust, there's no guarantee you will be accepted.

More importantly, someone can use your account to commit scam, which harm your personal life if the victim is serious to find the owner.

I think there are so many other Reasons why you shouldn’t buy an account but this is just as I’ve known.

One thing about buying an account is that is makes you shift your focus from learning to wanting to earn.

Buying that account requires you money and the typical human being will want to recover his money back therefore, it would lead to him being more interest in ways to earn from the forum and quick for that matter, this will lead to low quality posts from the users and in most cases 'spam'.

The forum isn't against account buying but you're going to get into lots of trouble from the community. It's quite easy to spot an account that has changed hands because the data are publicly available so if you have thought about buying one, give it a rethink.

There isn't a trusted market out there on account buying so you'll be dealing with scammers most of the time and you might end up getting scammed. It isn't worth it as building your account will benefit you in all angles from the knowledge part to the experience you get.

Such actions will only make things more difficult for yourself in the end, it will look premature trying to be at a high level without going through the process from the initial stage. Sometimes choosing shortcuts is not as effective as expected due to limited knowledge levels which can hinder the interaction process in the forum. If we talk in the context of Beginners, anyone can buy an account, but they will find it difficult to produce quality posts due to lack of knowledge.
The reason may be because they want to be accepted quickly into a signature campaign with higher pay, but who can guarantee that the campaign manager will accept them, especially since the level of competition is getting tighter.

People who bought accounts can only join signature campaign in altcoin bounties, that don't require quality post history, and it is more easily for account buyers to join.

If not for a signature campaign what else could make a newbie or anyone buy an account when he can freely create one and grow it even as the user will gradually also grow in knowledge too.

Funny thing is, even users with bought account could still make it to this thread and make condemnation replies about account buying. Lol Grin
