Topic: First Post here: I hope this forum reignite my interest in bitcoin (Read 198 times)

Hello OP good day it's nice to meet you here in the forum. You can learn here what you want to learn this forum is a source of knowledge about crypto currency so don't hesitate to search, ask question and research is a must. As this forum is an open forum you can share your knowledge as well so that other member will know what you have.
 But you must remember this OP you should know the rules and regulation first before you do something to avoid such mistakes.

Scam is everywhere, in the forum too. If you have knowledge and experience, you can smell scam things. However, to not fall into scam things, you need more than knowledge and experience, you must have ability to control your greed. If you can't, you will be scammed one way or another, today or in future.

The forum has trust and feedback system and many scam busters who contribute to detect, tag and eliminate scammers here. However it is not enough and we can not get rid of all scammers. They will return again and again.

Meanwhile, you can read LoyceV's Beginners guide to correct use of the Trust system to understand how Trust system works and how to customize your trust list.

You can get some topics about the forum in my signature.

There are a lot to learn from here just depends what will you absorb. If your friend introduced this forum to learn then thats good to hear.

Let your questions be heard, but before asking questions make sure you already made a research on google on using the forum search about it coz it may be asked too many times and answered too many times.

Less post, more in reading.
That's the perfect action as a newbie while you are new to the forum.  Building up your skills and knowledge here seems like an investment, your capital would be the time and effort that you will need so that you'll gain knowledge.  It could be your advantage if you're knowledgeable enough not to get scammed.

If you have the fate to learn and gain knowledge, you have the potential to rank up and become an established member here in the forum but if you were here just for chasing profit, joining bounty hunters, spamming the forum with your bounty reports, there's nothing will happen to you.  You'll never even receive any single merit which is a part of the requirements to rank up.

See you around.

i welcomed you in bitcointalk community. And you suppose to know the objectives of this community that one of the major functions is to contribute positively for the welfare of bitcoin technology. In the aspect of been newbies or novice in cryptocurrency generally i will say that here is the bus stop of cryptocurrency.all the knowledge concerning cryptocurrencies and mostly bitcoin shall be grab by you only if you observe the environment and follow up the community through reading of the suggestion of the community users and also make your own impact.

As you have said, you have been here once, yet you quite for suffering losses due to cams. Well, you can be a victim again if you won't be careful.
At this your comeback, I strongly recommended for you to read more and be aware of the happenings around. The more you open your minds toward crypto, the more it encourages you to stay. Think not just how to make money but also, think how helpful is this forum to other areas like financial management.

You won't be killed anyway but you should, otherwise. And besides, following the rules is a good abiding member of the forum and don't be like others who had to make their own rule despite the implemented and existing ones.

Welcome to the forum, what did you bring for us?


The forum frowns at scams and cheats but does not moderate any of the above. It is therefore your duty to be clever and watch out people's trust rating before you could trust or do business with anyone.


We will get tired of your questions and maybe frown at you and others will also ignore you if only you keep asking questions that have been asked and answered thousand times. Before you ask any question, try use the search button in the menu bar to search for related questions asked previously. You will only continue with your question if you don't see answers from search.

Hell no! Not at all. I ain't sure anyone will. In fact, if there's anything this forum is reputable for outside "posting to earn" it's answering questions related to Bitcoin and altcoins. I know I will be right to say - shoot your shots. Like religious people would say – if we can answer your questions, we answer speedily. If the questions are above our capacity, we despatch them to a higher authority or the Pope. In this case, Satoshi 🤔

If you have ever fallen for a scam, you must have had experiences that will keep you from falling a second time. Cryptocurrencies carry even more dire risks if you ask about scams. But it depends on what you learn. If you study well and understand crypto you can avoid it. This forum has explained in detail what you will ask, there will be many who will answer your questions. Your interest in bitcoin will only get stronger. I hope this first post will be the post that started it all, you just need to learn it and don't be lazy to read the rules on this forum.

The next post was actually not about merits but private keys and seedphrase. Which at least shows that the OP has some sort of interest to learn, or some left over from their initial contact with Bitcoin.
Whichever it is, it's good seeing a newbie who has interest in actually learning about Bitcoin and not just looking for what bounty to join in or how to rank up.

OP, you should also interact after making a thread. It's not enough to start a thread and then move to start another, follow discussions on open conversations and lock threads when you have gotten your answer.

Welcome to the forum. First of all you are in the right place where I believe provides 99% of the answers you will be asking about in cryptocurrency. You only get scammed easily here if your intention is just to come and get quick earnings here and as you can see the forum is filled with different types of people with different notions so I will encourage you to learn and by doing so you have to be relevant in the forum so you can read through the threads of members here.

Welcome to the forum man and many of us joined the forum as newbies but with time and our interest to learn about bitcoin and crypto market as a whole have made us progress on the forum.Speaking about scams then there are many victims like from 2017 and i still believe there are many shitcoins scam today from which we need to stay away from.

The scams are exposed on the forum but still you need to be extra cautious like someone could pm you about fake service but you must be careful like looking for red flags for that particular account or is he using escrow services or not and many other possibilities are there on the forum to protect you from these scams but you have to take your steps also as scams are not moderated on forum.

This is discussion forum and you can ask any questions but they should be relevant not about asking something which is not related to bitcoin or crypto market so nobody will get tired of your questions.If you initiate heathy discussion then you could also be rewarded with merits so you see it depends on your questions whether they are tiring or not.

These days most of the newbies percentage is introduced to this forum as earning source and the results is we see lot of merit and how to rank up and earn on the forum threads by them and when they don't get it they choose to leave the forum and not standing on the promise of having knowledge over the forum so can't do anything about them as well.

For it the best is they use search function or even better is to go through google search followed by bitcointalk.org which will give them results and don't repeat the question:


Only few of them progress with lot of good posts and will see how he goes on the forum with his next question and whether they are tiring or good one.

Welcome to the forum. The first message of Newbies seems to be an oath of good behavior, but unfortunately, many remain in one post.

Hearing a newbie's admiration that you rejoice in protecting the forum from cheating is a bit strange.

If you came to study cryptocurrency, then I do not see the connection. If you came to "earn money," then yes, scammers are not welcome here. However, cheating is not tolerated and is very strongly frowned upon.

Just go to the forum with pure intentions, build your reputation, and don't bombard it with questions that have been answered a thousand times.

I'm sure the next post will be about merits. So, a good literate question will bring you a reward. It is important that it be unique.

Have you read Newbies - Read before posting. From there, you will be able to read the rules and also read about merit and activities. Know that a forum is not a place to spam. This forum is not a place to scam. Avoid plagiarism and other things that can put your account in trouble, that might even lead to ban. Stay, read what people are posting, contribute, ask question when necessary and enjoy being here.

While this forum has plenty of capable scambusters and its not easy for a scam to go unnoticed (at least not for a longer period of time), its important to mention that scams are not moderated here meaning scammers aren't banned, no matter the evidence so I would suggest you to thread carefully.


Asking the right question is often more important than pretending to know it all (common newbie mistake). And yeah, welcome to bitcointalk .
