Topic: Every begginning always get though to newbie. (Read 1228 times)

You're right I think there's a lot of mistake in the thread, I just hope op will not see it the other way round. of course everyone do make mistake and making a mistake also bring a room for correction nobody is perfect we are only humans, actually we are all here to learn and also to upgrade our writing skills that's the reason why we're all here. so for the fact that you're being caution about your writing pattern does not mean that they dislike you or as a kind of humiliation no" don't get it wrong he's just letting you know should Incase of next time when creating a thread you won't use such word anymore I hope you understand what I mean.

yes that's right I think I'm still considered a beginner, after so many posts, I've only gotten 1 merit,
because I don't focus on this forum all the time, I take a lot of breaks due to being busy in the real world, I'm active for a while then I take a break again,

in 2025 I want to focus on this forum again, hopefully I can learn more about bitcoin and its developments, but we really have to spend time here, especially since English is not my native language

Learning is not limited to newbies alone, in this forum even experienced members can learn new things everyday. Except for bitcointalk pinned threads that newbies needs to master so that they don't break forum rules and basics about Bitcoin knowledge, every rank can learn new things everytime. Trending crypto news and innovations in the crypto space can be gotten in this forum from members that have the firsthand information. Despite the knowledge that I've gotten from this forum and from my personal research I still learn new things from different boards almost everytime.

It is not as if the forum is a difficult place only meant for particular set of people,  I think the forum is all about interest and only those who have interest and are willing to learn to learn and grow dwell here in the forum. The reason how some people don't last longer here it is because they lack the patience to grow which they just want everything quick and knowing that growing is not that easy which always requires some good effort, they will just give up along the line. It is only beginners who believe effort to grow and to learn will make it to stay here because they understand what growth is all about.

No point of argument over your opinion because curiosity to rank up without applying the required Sense of details and contributing immensely to what the forum required is just a matter of hustling for nothing, I observe that is not all about Merit that matter as newbies but get the ideal knowledge that can help one scale through when deeply engaged on Bitcoin investment, because this knowledge will help one maintain a stand even when there is  a dip in his investment or some unexpected challenges during it's holding . Many challenges of selling of Bitcoin holding before required time of holding is as a result of ignorant since knowledge is not put forward before ranking up, that's why a short cut is always a wrong cut in pursuit of survival in this Bitcoin journey knowledge is the primary things and is inevitable to newbies.

There are no expected results overnight. It requires perseverance and striving to enrich the beginner himself with sufficient information and experience first and then enrich the forum with useful content and discussions. It may take time, and the beginner may find a lot of incompatibility with the forum and its rules and may make mistakes, which is natural. However, a good member is one who learns from his mistakes and strives to take any guidance and advice from other members seriously, tries to be up to date on all developments in the crypto market, and aims to add value to any discussion after reading the contributions of other members in full, of course, in line with the forum's rules.

I believe that reading and learning are undoubtedly the things that will help any newbie grow quickly, not only in the forum but also in his investments and trading in the cryptocurrency market.

Most newbies lack patience now, they want everything very gas especially when ranking up because they are thinking that it is easy to get ranked as quick as possible which is possible, but must of them are lazy and don’t want to put in more effort towards achieving high rank, they are looking for shortcuts which is leading them to plagiarism and the use AI just to make contents that will attract merits.

Most newbies that have the zeal of learning in this forum are not complaining about the forum merits system because they are getting what they deserve anytime they put in effort towards helping and supporting the community, and such newbies do get ranked up easily because they have good intention of learning first.

To be honest the forum is never going to be for everybody, there are those that came but couldn't stay, while there are those that came and was able to pull through, no matter the high level of motivation we could give to some people they will never cope and that is individual differences, but yeah all the same growing up as a newbie for me wasn't easy but through determination, focus, consistent, willing to learn and grow, taken corrections, parient, dedication i was able to be where i am today, and am also encouraging anyone that since I could do it she or he can as well even do more better, the one important is taken a step and learn along the road.

no journey is Everly easy and growing in the forum is one journey that has thought me a lot of lessons that to grow requires a lot of effort and consistency and often times, the effort might not yield the expected result but you just have to keep at it with the hope that with time, things will eventually become easy when you understand how the forum works.

every highly ranked member of the forum passed through the phases of newbie and grew to member and to whatever rank they currently carry. to get to the next rank always require discipline and a strong will to learn, relearn and adapt to what ever is going on both on the forum and in the crypto space in general. it is never easy but that others are doing it means that you too can also do it.

Your topic is indeed a big motivation to new beginners in this forum, actually everybody in this Bitcointalk forum was once a newbie before they rank up and they also experience such thing too. Normally as a newbie before you would succeed in this forum there are so many challenges that you most pass through before you would be able to rank up, so for you to overcome all those things is by having determination, as a newbie that's the most important thing that would going to help you to navigate the forum Easily.

You are right it is not always easy starting most especially as newbie but not all because this is a bitcointalk forum and we talk about crypto but the major focus is Bitcoin the greatest asset of all time and since this is a crypto forum there are people who has been into crypto for a very long time and has all the necessary ideas on it but when they came to the forum they are seen and addressed as newbie because they are just starting even though they have all or most of the necessary ideas perhaps this kind of people or these set of people don't always find it difficult to navigate and grasp everything concerning the forum even though their sentence may not be good but they know what they are saying so, there are newbie and there are also newbie.

I understand you. You had tough time as newbie but now you are helping others. Your story inspires people to keep going. It shows that patience and effort bring success. It is great you are still learning and improving. Your post helps newbies know what to expect. You are honest about challenges which keeps them motivated. I also thought that I am still a newbie and still learning. By the way thank you for sharing and helping others grow.

Thank you OP for your encouragement, you talked about low quality post which is very important to know that the forum does not accept low quality post, let's also talk about low quality writing just like this post of yours. The words are not correct and it's confusing to understand, from the subject of this thread down to the main body has a lot of errors in it so I suggest you check your post carefully before posting. I agree that as newbies there will be challenges but let that challenge not be spelling error.

Lol, this is normal like I mean the fact you can’t teach people how they react towards something that doesn’t suit right neither can we control our speech. The forum is a wide space including newbies and other rank members but, not everyone will stay happy when reading criticism comments. It’s okay you view things from different perspective and I will agree concerning corrections. Those who learnt from their mistakes always create the best version of themselves not just forum related stuff rather general besides this forum doesn’t support abuse threat or words.

The forum is opened for everyone and you can join it with as most freedom for account registration and newbies as possible. There are forum rules to follow but if you don't know about forum rules, but basically you don't have habit of plagiarism, most of times you will not have big problems because it's hard to cause a permanent ban on one account without warning, except if you are scam, spread malicious links, files and so on. Else, you will be given like several offenses like up to 3 before a fourth time will be a permanent ban.

Welcome message.
Signature Campaign Guidelines (read this before starting or joining a campaign)

What really matters is how you started in this forum and everything is dam easy depending on your goal and why you join here, because many people who joined here with the intention of building their account to join signature campaign always finds it very hard to scale through, but those who only come to study the general knowledge about bitcoin never have those though time we think they are facing here.

In all, it's better to have patient in this forum and, if you are that constructive enough to post then surely you would definitely grow when times comes without you even panicking for anything. Hero's or Legendries are all rank but what defines them is knowledge, there are many people who gain the rank through with the merits system has never been implemented and they are very lucky. This people you can actually distinguished between those with overall knowledge and those who gain it by free lifting by theymos.

But for some one who is in a public group like this forum don't you think they have to try and adjust in their way of reasoning so that they won't take everything people say to them to heart when the response may be a honest opinion or a correction, yes different people react to things differently that I know but people who take things very seriously should try and get used to certain things so that they won't have much issues as a result of thinking about the opinion of others towards them.

The same way that we are different in our faces, so are the way we react to things. Also, different people can take correction, likely unless those who misunderstand it. That's it's a harmless correction, but not everyone will be able to withstand criticism without reacting to it or even giving up. Let's be honest, the way we pass correction down to people's lost times determines how they will react to it.

The manner with which the correction is expressed also matters too in determining how the response of the receptor could be. Although there are certain individuals that no matter how constructive a correction is rendered to them they just feel annoyed because it wasn't what they were expecting, and that's very much of a bad attitude. It's very hard for such persons to grow anywhere they find themselves aside the forum. Every community exist with their respective rules and guidelines, and for some newbie that wants to grow adjusting to learn and work with the community would be what they will be very glad to adapt with because that's the starting point of their development. Moreover the forum rules ain't that hard to deal with as the rules are beginners friendly.

Sometimes I used to wonder why someone would feel bad when they were being corrected or criticized by our high rank members. Normally as a newbie that really want to learn and rank up in this Bitcointalk forum we should always be happy when ever we are being corrected because doing that would going to help us to improved our post quality. However I think we should always try as much as possible to do the right thing when ever we are being corrected on something that is not right on this forum.

I think, you know that to achieve success in anything you are doing in life is not easy, because there are some sacrifices you must sacrifice to make your journey  to come to reality which are some of the things beginners are going through in their early stage in the forum. For you to get what you want from this forum, I will advice you to do what is right by reading some impactful books that will make you to be different from other beginners that lack knowledge, because it will be difficult for someone that lack knowledge of the forum to find it easy to improve easily in the forum without having challenges with sentences. Whenever you are trying to post in any thread or create a thread, don't be rush to post without going through the thread many times before posting and it will make the Old members to know that you have red before joining the forum.

It's taken a lot of discipline to unlearn what's already inside a person, and they have been carrying it around for a long period of time, especially when it's already their own way of life, which is why you can see two people who come from the same root get registered into something together and start together, but because of the level of tolerance the person has, they will easily learn and adjust to the way things are done in that place, whereas the next person will be busy complaining over every little thing that's being done even when they are corrected. 
 
So it's all based on the individual to learn and decide if they really want to adopt to change or not. Some people are just born stubborn and are not ready to adopt and adjust to change; instead, they will always look for a way to condemn those trying to correct them.

Human beings are different and we view things differently, most of the time subjective thoughts is what consume people because they think they are always right no matter how you try to correct them. When I see some arguments, I don't even bother to waste energy and not because I'm wrong or don't want to engage, I save myself the energy to waste, I will use it for something productive so I can live long life.

Moreover, be ready to accept criticism, you can't be right all the time and the fact that you know about something doesn't really means to are right, you can be wrong but right with your own opinion.

Expectedly, every new thing or venture comes with its own perplexity and confusion. So, it's here too to newbies. No one's first outing experience is their best. People learn and get mastery of things with time if they persist on it.

Everyone of us who came to this forum with zero knowledge of Bitcoin or what the entire industry was had the same issue of being lost and confused. As a newbie, I was regular at sections of this forum that I could easily relate with like Off-Topic, Politics and Society, and then Beginners & Help. Every genuine newbie can easily read and assimilate stuff in Off-Topic than those stuff going on in the Bitcoin Discussion board of the forum with its technical jargons. It was easy for me that way and I grew from there. I believe every newbie who's ready to put in the time and commitment will also grow pass that confusion stage.

This is just example of transmission of knowledge, but some persons doesn't know, that is why everyone who is here during newbies stage do have same issues of defaults when default occurs or anyone find guilty of violent the rules and regulations of the community, but its people who knows the rules and regulations that escaped having problems with community, so the community is an educating place where you will learn different things that relates with bitcoin, I know very well that people do attacks the newbies and for me is not the best to do, what we are supposed to do is to ensure that we correct some newbies who forget to learn, because once you criticised them they will also feel inferior..

Correction and criticism is part of learnings so if people really want to learn something from what they are interested to participate on, then they should learn from those approach to learn something. Because if the person didn't take any of those negative actions towards his decision making then feel bad on corrections given by people then provably that they cannot learn something from it.

So what best for newbies is to read all valid points and be grateful if someone corrects them since that means they can fix all those wrong thoughts or mistake so that they could do more better approach on something they want to do on their next venture.

In all works of life, nothing seems easy when starting new. It's a matter of consistency and never give up at the same time that makes one perfect to get to their desirable heights. It can take months or years before one achieve and masters what they are into but that doesn't stop one from learning new things and gaining all the necessary information and knowledge they need to excel. Nobody would ever say they are masters of all, they don't need to grow in the knowledge of what they are doing. As some of us have reached to certain high ranks in the forum, we are still learning from other forum members, irrespective of the rank. No knowledge is a waste. As far as it crypto, we learn everyday and give out advices to one another. Never give up and believe in oneself that they can make it in crypto and reach whatever heights they wish to

Anyone complaining for corrections is not really ready to learn, the truth of the matter is you can always know everything their is no way you won't make mistakes and one of the functions of this forum is for us to learn from one another as far as crypto is alive and I encounter any form of challenges I have this forum to help with that challenges, the people here have enough knowledge to help overcome what eve.

Best advice in accordance with what you said about newbies you just have to be ready to be criticized but despite everything never give up because, when you calm your self and you learn you also will see the changes of accccpting bitcoin, we should just continue learning for now, because aside newbie their are people that still need to learn before saying anything, and correction is a normal thing.

Every beggining may seem though, yea, thats because it's a new ground and no mastery of all that goes around there. That's why Living things have the adaptability characteristics. I have read through the thread, and also the reactions of other members in the community, it is true that they wish us well, they need us to improve in our post. They have always adviced us to always read more and make less post. Infact, they believe that reading contents from different boards develops and builds our understanding and gives us true knowledge of what the forum stands for.

Am still reading, navigating all day long, gathering knowledge, understanding and the true meaning and worth of the forum. When all this is done, at least in average, then our post can be meaningful and also, provide solutions to few problems. Let's not give up, let's keep reading, we will be informed if we pursue wisdom

I still don't understand why someone will be complaining when they are corrected or criticized for not doing something right, even though they have low self esteem in real life are they not supposed to know that coming to a new place there are certain things they need to unlearn in order to understand what is going on in the new place they just got registered to? I think any one with low self esteem should feel free to keep calm if they are afraid to see the response of other members to their post I don't think their feelings will stop people from saying their opinion about a particular post.

Op, this forum is not a playground where anyone will just wake up and decide to create a post that is not useful to the forum just to advise newbies who are finding it difficult to rank up to be patient that they will rank up in the future. I want you to understand that if you are creating posts that are not helpful to this forum, nobody will pity you or help you rank up, even though you have been in this forum for 10 years. If you are finding it hard to earn merit here, which will help you rank up, try and figure out what is stopping you from achieving that, and stop creating this type of post because it will not earn you any merit because people in this forum are used to seeing this type of post that is meaningless to the forum. There are so many merits in this forum, and a lot of users are willing to merit posts that are solving problems here or correcting any users who seem lost in this forum, just like you are doing.

Beginners feeling inferior have a problem and it has nothing to do with the forum, they might have low self esteem in the real world therefore they should fix up their attitude before joining the forum or asking the forum members to treat them differently.

Why will you feel inferior for something that you can learn and become an expert too because anything that anybody knows here was learnt in regards to Bitcoin and the industry in general. What you don't know, you ask questions/learn so when next you encounter that thing, it won't be new to you again. Beginners that are ready to learn take corrections as what they're and not as criticism. When you see a newbie willing to learn, it's always obvious as they improve on everything they get criticize about but as for those feeling attacked, they're not ready to grow.

a beginners stage in this community is a stage where every member of this community that have ascertain in good position in the community started from, so you must have passed through corrections from different persons before become a hero or a legendary member that is why whenever a beginner make a comment that is not well organized I don't criticize the beginner the state of that I correct it beginner instead of blame or criticize the user because once you correct someone the person will pick up correction but when you criticize person the beginner will start feeding inferior or incompetent to must have associated or involved itself in the community some of the criticism have been a setback to the beginners

There are many higher members who were once like it. This is like life, it is in stages. Do not be afraid to make silly mistakes. Do not confuse it with breaking the forum rules. It is difficult at first, for those who are not conversant with online forums because it is a place where you meet some nice and not-so-nice people.

For you, focus on whatever reason you are here. Do not be ashamed of it. Work very hard and it will be actualized. And this is a general advice for myself as well. You cannot be better without reading wide and researching well. It will give you the confidence to engage in conversations knowing that it is an exchange of knowledge no matter the rank.

To understand this forum is not difficult and also to understand bitcoin is not difficult. There are no new things happen, reading old threads and comparing it with what is happening now will give you the idea of what happened in the past and even what is likely to happen in the future. If you devote your time, you will enjoy the forum. The problems of this forum or the problem of newbies is someone like jollygood. He wrote something very false in my profile and that thing he wrote has made me to stop getting the little merits I was getting to grow. It has also affected me and my confidence in the forum. I am just being encouraged to continue. That is not how to treat the girl child.

Most of them master things technically, so they can easily get merit from the thread they created or some response.
If they are outside the forum, of course they are quite expert in the application development industry or something like that.

And yes, we have to develop and of course everyone has their own strengths.
Those who are able to survive in this forum and continue to grow deserve all the benefits in this forum.

We may have been in this forum for quite a long time, already know how the forum develops each session.
Some have just emerged with their myriad of cleverness, and some have disappeared without any trace.
This forum is not specifically for lazy people, but for those who want to grow and want to know how crypto and its technology work and become a center of crypto knowledge etc.

 I sure your intentions for making this post were genuine Op,but then again, you have to consider that in a forum like this where it's basically about getting knowledge and progressing in ranks amongst other things, it's a bit unnecessary to encourage others to put in the effort being that if you know what you stand to gain.
 Secondly, just as the others have said, there has been many threads that advice newbies to not give up on their quest to grow here and while I find it endearing that we are concerned for the growth of others on this platform, it's rather becoming offensive and it's as if  for lack of a better subject matter to discuss about, these newbies resort to doling "advices".
 

It’s never easy at the beginning but if you are dedicated to reach greater heights you will improve and in no time you will understand how things are being done here. I don’t know why newbies are always scared of the former and think higher ranks are not good to them just because they try to correct them. As a newbie you cannot escape  the learning process if you really want to grow here and that is why most newbies fail. I am glad you have gotten the hang of it and you have now understand that learning and reading is the best way to grow here i just hope other newbies will be influenced by your post, i hope they don’t get discouraged after being criticized.

That’s just the facts everyone here pass through this stages been a newbie’s is a very difficult journey, but with patient and endure we’re achieving our goal a lot of people where introduced to this forums but the lack of patience has sent them back where they come; that’s is very good to have some experience in what a person come to do before begin the journey. So that you will know face so much challenges or been criticized when ever you create new topic,

You really try by take time out of busy and creating this useful thread to let the newbie’s aware on how the difficult they will face when they begin there journey in this forum, I think with this your little content they pick up on how to make their journey to be very easy and fast without too much criticism.

I can still remember some years ago when I joined this bitcoinstalk forum as a newbie, I passed through so many things that make me to spend long time to grow my account to full member because i was so busy with school activities and other things that make me not to have much time in this forum. I agree with you that every beginning use to get though to newbies, because they use to make some mistakes that will make people to correct them for them to learn from their mistakes, and there are some people that will correct some newbie in a harsh way while there are some that will correct newbie in a soft way to make sure they learn something new from the forum.

Never you allow challenges or problem to make you quit the forum because nobody found it easy to get to where they are today in this forum, the more time you spend in this forum, the more your eyes will be open to see many things that will increase your learning.

I actually say beginning at first but reading through the comments it now turned out to be begging. I don't know if this is a mistake or the OP is saying something different from what we understand the post to mean but seeing the same begging in the body of the post is a kind of confusing. The only way the post will have meaning is if the word is changed from begging to beginning, that way, the post remind me of how difficult it was for me when I started my Bitcoin journey and even when I created account here. Most people have similar experience and through perseverance we overcame the confusion and frustration.

  you are absolutely right first time is not always easy base on my experience I'm just new here I don't know anything about this forum I'm begging please if there's any how to make me improve and know more about this forum help me out I need more information please master's show me way please.

The point you wrote in this topic is too general and has been discussed before, everyone knows what you mean. Every Newbie definitely needs to go through the initial stages and their level of success depends on how much they try to improve their abilities. At first it feels difficult for anyone, but look at how members have managed to rank up from newbie to Legendary, isn't that something that is worthy of motivation. Everything takes time, you have to step slowly through one by one what has been considered a challenge, nothing can stop anyone as long as they continue to try to improve their abilities.

The best encouragement always comes from being the best example of what you intend to pass on. That’s why we have role models and you can find a good number of newbie users on the forum to have that one person they might look up to for mentorship if they are allowed to speak up to be someone with a great persona.

Now, coming up to encourage others is a good thing but, you have to show some in yourself you know, you have to display that improved newbie version you would want newbie users to pick up from. Your sentence structure wasn’t showing none of that if I must say. You should look into that and you might find users taking to you even more than just making another threa.

He must have made some mistakes and didn’t notice it on time and I don’t think anyone here don’t make such mistakes when they’re trying to write and communicate in the forum. There is a an auto correct in many smartphones keyboard today and they sometime rewrite wrongly what you’re trying to pass and if you don’t notice it, you might have sent it already by then or may never notice it at all.

If he’s good at English, he doesn’t need that site to help him go through his work, he should rather go through anything he wants to send to be sure all words and spelling are written correctly. Using any external tool now in the forum is not advisable as many AI tools are being incorporated into many of this apps that help in writing for people. I’ll advise him to work on his English if he’s not good at writing in English and also try and check his sentences word after word before sending them.

For sure you are doing well in here already haven't made about 140 post's and accumulate 22 merits is somewhat a good ratio to acknowledge, I under how this Forum can be so confusing to a newbie, I have been there before and I understood very well how it feels, making comments and getting the respond that you are either off topic a d have your post categorized as low quality and possibly get deleted, this is the worst stage in the Forum and every newbies have experienced such a harsh experience.


But what I have come to understand is that, in all of this, of you are able to persist a d not going up and learning from your mistakes in no time you will blend I to the Forum and also becomes an established member of this Forum a d regardless how you get treated by older member just take it as a correction and learn from it and don't take things to heart.

I have also witnessed a few cases of newbies who surpassed me in merits in no time, thanks to their passion, dedication and knowledge. They are exceptions, of course: they shine above most users and get the recognition they deserve.

The rest of us mortals have had to cultivate our patience a little more, and many will throw in the towel before time. Social media are for everyone, this forum is not.

It's very easy, of course, but it depends on how good they are in studying this forum and making a good contribution according to the content of the thread discussed or the thread they created themselves.

There are more newbies who just come for free airdrops and bounties without upgrading their accounts for the reason of getting very hard merits.

But I know some beginners who haven't even reached 1 year, they have gotten quite good rankings and a lot of merit.
Even though it took me years to achieve this ranking.

Every person's abilities are different and maybe their account is a newbie, but their knowledge exceeds that and outside the forum they are experts.

Not all, because users (of course, not all) of the old era increased their ranks by simply spamming posts.

The harder the achievement, the more valuable it is. Frankly, it was a very interesting and useful experience for me. Looking back, I would still choose the new era if I had to choose between the old era and the new era.

Some newbies find it very easy and fast to advance in ranks, but this requires (most often) a technical background or other useful (valued on the forum) skills that can be shared. So, I would say that you don't need to be a newbie outside the forum, and then you won't stay a "newbie" on the forum.

Good posting (as the ability to concisely express thoughts that will be useful to others) certainly has value, but more valuable will be your personal improvement as a forum user, BTC-user and in general.

The beginning is always not sweet, but it will only get more interesting. And similar topics have already been created before. For example, by me.

everyone in the forum is constantly to develop themselves. it's not just a matter of ranking, all forum members from various rankings are always upgrading their knowledge. those who like trading will get a lot of updates related to trading. those who like altcoins can also get it on the forum.
there is no real limit for all forum members to improve their knowledge. it is always developing and it is only right that we all as forum members do it.
as long as your goals in the forum are good enough, there will definitely be a reason for you to be in the forum. many accounts are already ranked high but eventually become inactive. maybe because their goals in the forum can no longer be achieved.

Yea, you are actually right, I believe that in other to start well, it is very much important that you first of all knows how to compose a good write up without making silly grammatical error, because am quite positive that it will be very difficult for anyone to grow if his write up can't be read easily, so it's very much essential that you are able to compose a very good write up without writing jagons.

Then as for the difficulties in growing as a newbie, to me it's quite normal because the most difficult stage in life, in what ever you are into, is the beginning, so the way it's very much difficult for a newbie here that is how it's also difficult to every other person that is just starting anything new, so their is nothing new about the struggles newbies normally have from the beginning.

Good one, it is good if newbies know that this place is a normal place for them to interact with others in any crypto or Bitcoin related discussions, but many newbies come with the intention of earning merits as quick as possible forgetting that they need to learn about this forum on its own and also create quality content or engage in important conversations to earn the merits, some of them are always eager to get the merits quickly which is what has always been the challenge for them, and if the didn’t get the merits quick after some posts, they end up concluding that the forum is hard. But some newbies will come and earn merits from their first posts be it a new thread or a comments, it is al about the quality of what you write and how helpful it is to the forum.

Newbies should always exercise patience and learn from other members in order to make it big or earn merits in this forum. Rank dose not matter in any discussion except for signature campaign applications which is the reason why some people join the forum; therefore, everything is time and with patience everything will come to pass.

It is not always easy but putting an effort to contribute to the forum will definitely make one to rank up, sometimes it can be slow but the truth is that every little effort one puts in is always productive to growth. What can make one to remain the same is when one puts in no effort, when one gives up in trying. One thing about the forum is that when people lacks patience it seems so difficult to grow. The lack of patience can just kill the interest one may have. Growing requires patience, that is what can fuel one not to give up in learning to have knowledge and to make good contribution in the forum.

I can remember few years back when I was a newbie. I can vividly say it wasn't literally easy, but with time and consistency, we all were able to achieve the ranks we are today, and as such, you too can also do the same if only you are consistent, stick to obeying the rules that govern this forum, while also avoiding plagiarism & and the use of A.I for content generation, which is highly prohibited. Because one singular mindset I always have, which made me what I am today is that if others can achieve it, I too can achieve that.

It's not like you join something you want with no experience will make you an expert or professional in that field. All must start at the beginning until you build up your experiences until you will succeed. Some people might have experience already when they start but they are all training for it but take note that they train for it which means they also start from somewhere until they have that experience and the rest will be to become successful or to succeed.

Indeed there's no such sweet beginnings in all life's aspects, except for gambling where the beginning is only the sweetest and you'll end up with a bitter result.

Now, when it comes to the bitcointalk forum, know that all of us here have passed the stage of newbie, and it's where the process of learning is very tough and difficult. But if you have the patience and passion to learn and even master the forum, success will always be certain. Just keep going and learning each and every day, soon you will come to reap all your hardworks and efforts from the beginning.

We all started from somewhere, no one would have wanted to build a house a started from the roof, every good thing start right from the grassroot level, this is a period whereby one can learn and develop himself as he have wanted, improve on some key areas and know his weaknesses as well, because everything will soon turned a story and all the pains will soon fade away, when we might have grown bigger in knowledge about the forum and bitcoin.

Sometimes i do go back to check some of my posts when i started in the forum and i do laugh at myself because you can just dual the difference between a beginner and someone who have been in the forum for a while. It's really challenging because you will encounter some hate replies from some forum members due to a low quality post you made which will make you feel some kind of way but the only way a beginner can thrive in a forum like this is to pay attention to those who criticize them when they are doing things the wrong way then take corrections and ensure not to make a repetition again but i have seen some newbies now as soon as they receive criticism or a hate reply they begin to follow such user up and from there they begin to exchange hateful replies against each other.

I just checked your profile and I saw that you have spent 4 months in this forum and you are also active, if not that things has change in the Forum, your rank up would be faster than this but don't give up, just continue to do your thing, don't force it and don't break down, you will achieved your next rank in due time and if you have some guide about Bitcoin that you haven't seen on the beginners board, you can help out but then again, learn before you try to teach others.

You should also instead of advising newbies like you, your focus should be how to be better than the ranks above you. I'm not sure if you received notification of members that are below full members stats about the merit rank. You will see every member ranks that are below Full member but are trying to enter full member rank, check the accounts that are active and having more improvement, you can learn one or two things from them in ranking up faster.

The problem here is that these guys come across topics that were previously getting merits. They feel creating a replica about the same topic in their own words with their own experience would help them in getting merits. They all believe that such topics will be good for the forum members who are new to the forum.

The problem comes with a lack of basic understanding which is they forget that unique topics are the ones which are showered with merits. Imitation is good but blindly imitating doesn't mean the topic is worthy of getting merits. I once had a plan to list similar topics that carried the same agenda. I did not go ahead with it because I felt it would discourage newbies, as of now it seems such topics are nothing but copy spam, and high ranking members like me and others must come up and ask questions that might sound harsh to these guys.

Firstly I will say that if only the op has taken much time in reading through in the beginners and help board/ threads, he or she would have found out that similar threads that tend to convey similar message are already in existence, but be that as it may a lot of beginners thinks it is very compulsory or necessary to create a thread while there are already lots of an existing ones, if only he must have read through users replies by now corrections would having made in his mistakes, meaning that he is not getting things done the right way. How ever, in as much as imperfect we can be while trying to become perfect, the read before posting role has been more like a watch word to every users in the forum, perhaps it can be very wrong for anyone to create a thread without visiting the replies of other users which is another way of learning in the forum.

Most newbies are encountering challenges because they want to be professionals overnight. A newbie is someone who is new to a place and has no idea about how things are done in that place. It is quite unfortunate that most newbies we see here in this forum are only here with a different motive in mind. With the motive they have in mind, they deviate from learning about the forum and some vital topics that may be useful to them.

The beginning is always tough for newbies, but it will even be tougher for those newbies who believe they can rank easily by spamming the forum with plagiarised and irrelevant contents because they can't afford to dedicate their time to learning stuffs from the forum.

If only newbies will allow themselves to be newbies and be open to learning, seeing all criticisms as a motivation to put more efforts in contributing to the growth of the forum, they will definitely grow at the right pace.

People always grow in knowledge based on their total experience, because the harder you work, the closer your success will come. A lazy person is associated with misery, so if you can exert yourself in any field both physically and mentally, you will be much more self-sufficient. Almost everyone has come to this forum as a fresher, worked hard and gained knowledge in various ways and they have reached a high level today.
 So following the senior brothers who have come so far they are all successful, in this forum every brother works for every brother in the most reliable way. You'll have the most success if you do just a little effort on your own to read their posts.

There is no guarantee of easy ranking up, but if you are smart and knowledgeable of the things that happen in this forum, crypto currency in general, and have broad and basic knowledge/experience in coding and technical things, you have a higher chance of ranking up easily than an average person, as you can easily provide solutions to people's problems, and you will be rewarded with merit, which is one of the basis requirements for ranking up the activities. This is something that happens naturally every 14 days as long as you have enough posts.

You did well by creating this topic but if you had shown what you have learned from this forum like some of the main big things you learned I know mentioning them might not be easy but with experience and more time spent on BTT it does not mean you will learn a lot you have to specifically spend time on learning like we do in real life otherwise with time you will learn less and the ID age will be old enough and other will think you are mature enough to know this thing for obvious but you won't.

I know everyone doesn't know everything, but with time they do, the point is to keep learning is good, but do it continuously by giving separate time.

No one starts being a professional immediately people starts become a newbie and they don't know what to learn and where to start this is one of the biggest step you need to consider now once you know already and have a guidance that's the time you will take an effort to give yourself time to understand the things you need like here in forum, once you already know your objective, the path you will not loss anymore and also you can give guidance to other member who feel the same before. I recommend to read a lot and contribute as you can because you can get an idea what other people experience and do so you can get an information once you face the same situation.

I can see, you really mean well for the progress of this forum, you teach me how to quote correctly few days ago, and today am very happy that I have learned something new from the forum, I have learned from the action I took to quote in a row, I promise, something like that will not happen or repeat it self again, I just found the rule in number 32, posting multiple posts in a row is not allowed in the forum, thanks Lovesmayfamilies for your impact to newbies and other members.

The newbie stage in the forum is the most difficult phase one can find himself especially when you're also not too experienced in the whole Bitcoin thing. It's a state we've all gone through and sometimes taking a step backwards to look at the quality of the post you made at the start and what helped you stay strong despite the many times you went against forum rules and almost got into trouble, it reminds one that it takes discipline and dedication to stay long enough on the forum.

Key things that are necessary to survive well in the forum is that you must fall in love with sharing your idea on every subject matter you have the slightest knowledge of. You don't need to be exceptionally knowledgeable about the thing before you give your opinion, your little idea might be what the next person might find useful. The more your contribute to Bitcoin related topics, the better you understand it. Even if it will take a combination of research and fact finding before contributing, it's still better than making assumptions when you literally know nothing. Creating topics as you grow is also very key and helps you to clear your doubt through the responses you will get from the thread.  Growth on the forum is similar to growing in real life. It comes with challenging times that might want to push you down, it's how you respond to that challenge that matters at the end of the day.

Nothing good comes easy and while we would always expect to make somethings different for good without putting efforts, perhaps inconsistent would always keep us devalued as low.
The moment of realizing our lapses and gearing up to adopt an upright energy would always enhance the quality of our produces meaning we can always make better difference of we invest the needful resources of us to actualize a specific goal.

Being a beginner in the forum and giving low quality posts in the period of times is not something of mock to the member (s).

The journey of a thousand mile begins with a step. Believe it that no beginner in the forum is expected to just jump in and begin act as professionals. Even, an average quality post of a newbie is more impressive than a similar quality posts of a high rank memeber because when the courage is high, so also commendation would be accorded courageously for the newbies improvement.

Once a stabilized high quality posters was once a staggering poor quality poster. Consistency of readings, making researches would always make it a better difference for every beginners.

The journey of life is always full of challenges, not always a bed of Roses. it can be described as " survival of the fittest" I believe being a newbie is not a crime, everyone here was once a newbie. You must develop a think skin to be able to withstand the tossle before crossing the bridge. I congratulate you for the growth and understand that you have started getting it right as you said. I believe on the slogan that say "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a step" push on, you still have many bridges ahead to cross.

Right, you have it all in your statement. It needs to be emphasized to newbies that there's no guarantee of ranking up easily even if they are smart. Understanding the forum rules and its scope is the main thing, the second is the intention to learn and the third is the desire to contribute in any form to the forum itself.

it is obvious that everybody in the forum experiences what you are experiencing now because every person pass the stage of beginner in the photo and if you want to learn quickly you should be asking question based on what you don't know help you to learn more because many people will be ready to explain things that you don't know for you to know it even they will also provide you a link where you read and learn of other things that you are supposed to learn from the forum so forum is like institution where we learn things that we don't know I know that with the time everything that you needed you want to come across it to the forum if you only want to learn from forum things that concerns Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will it be well explain to you here and you understand it better

Most of us came here being a newbie in crypto, but we are now what we turned to be through our determination for getting what we want, this is as a result of our active commitment, learning and law abiding, which are the basic sustainability we have overcome to be where we are today, things are not difficult to achieve only when we are set and determined for it, in this forum, you have a lot of opportunities to develop yourself from only when you know about them.

It's just like you gaining admission into a new school where you don't know anyone or how things are done there. You might miss your way and find yourself in the wrong place but when you ask questions and bscome very serious to adapt fast, learning will become easy for you. This is how this forum is, you learn and read from forum members post and make your own research to speed up your learning, and improve yourself. It is what you have upstairs that will make your post quality or not.

OP, I congratulate you on correctly quoting. Judging by our communication, this is your victory.
Now do me a favor and reread the forum rules. You are quoting and creating several posts in a row. Look in the rules; under what number is the warning that you should not do this?
Also, do not react to criticism, but take all advice as something to pay attention to.

Yet another of those threads that are describing bitcointalk like its some sort of  a workplace.

Then again, for many unfortunately it is, and its their only soiurce of income so I guess that's why that kind of attitute and this kind of posts.

Every member you see here all went through the newbie phase, they all started as a newbie and gradually they grow in rank until they get to where they are now and all will tell you how difficult it was at the beginning but through perseverance and dedication they were able to overcome the little challenges. It is easier to understand how to go about the forum but newbies don’t want to listen they are just so fixated on earning merits and ranking up that why they find it difficult. If they can be patient and rush into posting and focus all energy to learn then it would be more easier for them but they always want to skip the learning process.

There have been lots of topics like this to encourage newbies but most of them don’t take it seriously and learn from experience. Either way the wise strong ones will survive and succeed.

Your activity and contributions are what shape your future here. Reaching Hero or Legendary rank isn’t that hard if you truely enjoy what you do, and staying inspired means you’ll keep coming back, learning, and sharing as you go. Best of luck! I hope you find this forum a great place to grow, with lots of opportunities in the knowledge and information you'll discover. Just don’t stress too much about ranking up. Instead, focus on contributing, contributing, and contributing.

Newbies - Stop teaching when you are newbie. You can do it because there is freedom for you to do what you want, but you don't need to do it.

Welcome message is available to help newbies but if they can not find it, they will certainly not find your topic. Newbies need to search to find a welcome message and your topic, but most of them don't do searching.

I hope theymos will pin the welcome message, to help newbies.

Nothing good comes easy and that includes ranking up in the forum, so you have to take it one step at a time, especially for newbies who don't have any crypto knowledge. If you join the forum and your main goal is to begin to rank up, then you can be in for a big disappointment because no member is obligated to give you merit to rank up, no matter how good you are. First thing first, a newbie needs to understand the forum rules, read sticky threads as a guide to the board. Expect to be criticized, learn from experienced members, make research and express yourself with quality posts, then hopefully somebody will give you merit.

There's no need to chase anything in this forum, you will get something if you really deserve it. Read a lot so that when someone in the forum asks about it you can give an answer. Ranking up is necessary whether for a certain purpose or not, but it should not be the main goal in the forum.

OP I understand your stand here as a newbie trying to encourage other newbie members to keep up with their hard work if they must succeed and grow here. You know, hard work really pays and that is why it is important that we should always take out time to work well and put  our efforts to making sure we achieve success in whatever we do.

However, I have read through and found out some issues which already have been corrected by other members here. I would advise that you effect the corrections and take your time to read what you have written before you upload them as that would really show if you are taking instructions because when you do that, it will show that you are really trying your best to learn here and also taking instruction from reputable members on how to go about your activities on this platform.

Well being a newbie is challenging but next time OP you should make a topic that piqued interests of most users. Not just a situational subject like this for newbies to get some encouragement. Most users attract merits by their quality idea maybe you could share some to us on other topics next time.

Other users might find this thread merit begging but its not so prove it to others/us that you can impart interesting topics.

Ok, now this is what you need to do in order to dictate some typographical errors after writing, always preview your work before clicking the post button by so doing you will be able to dictate any error either spelling errors or typing errors, once dictated kindly correct it so that any reader will easily understand what you are trying to say. Keep improving as you work on your spelling as well as your word usage.

Beginning is only though to those who don't want to follow simple instructions or take correction when they're being corrected. Your reply before this particular one I qouted shows that you find correction offensive and if my guess is correct, you'll definitely find it hard to grow here.

Your post is already edited but the said error (begging) is still unchanged. I don't really know what you then edited. Moreover, I understand nobody is perfect but it makes one responsible when you take your time to write what others can easily read and understand. Learning has become easier with some advanced tools, take your time to make use of them and improve your vocabulary.

https://www.grammarly.com is a good site that helps you rewrite your sentences with good spelling and punctuations. Don't be offended please.

Everything is considerable know that maybe you have been confused on many text written. So what's best for you before posting some ideas on mind, read the whole sentences if there's a typo or confusing word written. So that people will not get confused on your point towards what you have written here.

Anyways there's lots of room to improve and for sure corrections of people would provably help to do more better post next time.

Also intention is good but try to make it became  more informative also engaging so people could easily catch up your point.

what do you mean by begging man? Do you really read the thread before coming up with negative mindset concerning the thread, I'm a newbie and I know how difficult it take for us to stand well in this forum to start doing the right thing. I'm not perfect which I know very well, and am ready to learn from you guys.It was a mistakes man, I wanted to write beginning I don't know when I mistakenly type beging,  I'm sorry for that typical errors my fellow members. Thanks for alerting me on this mistakes, I love you guys, I'm still learning from your guys to improve better.

Op, what is the topic here is it beginning or begging you need to make us understand because it can possibly be begging since there's nothing you need to beg for since everything here is free unless otherwise stated where it should. Now from your write up I can see that you are encouraging yourself and others not to give up which is not bad but you need to encourage yourself more by learning by a good example.

Do you find it difficult to understand how you can learn from other members here speak up so that you can be advised on what to do or do you want to be merited just so you can rank up and join signature campaigns if this is what you want then you are not doing the right thing, follow the learning process, you must not necessarily comment or start new thread to show how you have improved but you can focus more on increasing your knowledge by going through the comments of others and doing your own research the growth will come and that which you want will be freely given to you, do not give up.

I agree to what pakhitheboss is saying, though it may seem harsh or weird to you on the reading end , it's actually the truth. Back then when I was a newbie I made about one or two posts advising other newbies and I actually noticed the forum members aren't moved by things like that. To tell you the truth, the forum is sick of threads like this advising newbies.

The best you could possibly do is improve yourself and your crypto knowledge especially technical knowledge about bitcoin and crypto related . Even if you aren't too good at English , it  may seem like a barrier at first but gradually your contribution to the forum will be noticed and then you will gradually rank up.

Do you want to rank up and beg? Because that is what I could see more about your post. This forum is not for begging except for special reasons. Do not have it in mind at all that you want any donation on this forum.

What I know about this begging of a thing is that the rule is not for reputable members. The rule is for newbies and those that are not yet established.

This thread is not having any useful information anyway.

Better you should work on your sentences formation and before posting anything here do a proof reading. I have highlighted the part that you need to re write as begging in the forum is not allowed. I would encourage you to come up some topic that makes a difference than the one that you have posted, if you want to grow in ranks here.

I know many users in this forum past through the stage of newbie in their beginning, and they know how difficult it's for newbies to succeed from their beginning without experienced so much challenges of low quality post and other things in the forum, I'm speaking from experience, thankGod am getting it right gradually, it is giving me joy to continue reading some threads and post to continue improving in good post. I created this topic to encourage newbies and upcoming newbies to be aware that the beginning don't always sweet for newbies to catch up fast to begin to display like heros and legendarys.
