Topic: Have you met this kind of investors? (Read 555 times)

I have not invited anyone here because I think before you can invite anyone, there should be a sign of motivation and it should not be money, when money comes before passion, they don't go far. They will frustrate you on basic things they need to learn on their own, they might even struggle to even for merit because they don't understand anything not to talk of even communicating very well in the Forum. Just note that joining the forum doesn't make one a better investor.

If you want to introduce someone to forum, my best recommendations is to place them in the local board, they can easily get corrected over little things and when they get better, general board will not be hard to navigate around.

I have seen someone who doesn’t want to join the forum and thinks it’s just a waste of time but after seeing how people make money from the forum he suddenly wants to join but is so lazy to learn and always ask for easier ways to earn money not knowing there is no free money anywhere. He knows a few things about bitcoin and cryptocurrency but doesn’t seem to have energy for the forum saying he has no time but always spends his time on social media.

When we journey alone it is fast and easier but when we journey with people we go far because we learn so much from one another and share ideas with each other which usually helps in our decisions and increases our chances of success. A lone investor or trader can also be successful as well due to the knowledge acquired or probably might be lucky on his decisions that leads him/her to success.

People don’t need to engage in a certain community or forum just to be successful. It’s a matter of preference, there are those who works well alone, who achieve better results if he do it all by himself, as long as his full focus and attention is on his investment. However, majority still need to be exposed to find more wisdom and encouragement from other co-members, but others would want to chose to free theirselves from other people’s existence because that’s where they are more comfortable to.

You really think so many people that we have on this forum really has Bitcoin in their wallets? This must be a joke because stop it already. You can be outside in this forum and still be a bitcoin whale. I know some Nigerians that have Bitcoin and are very popular in bitcoin but have they no idea about this forum, they don't know anything about some technical aspect of Bitcoin and they are successful as you can ever imagine. Forum doesn't define a good bitcoin holder or have Bitcoin because they are good with basic safety precautions abouts Bitcoin and this is why many of them lose Bitcoin daily.

Th forum is just an additional ingredients to a holder, not necessary it must be a a bitcoin, it can be any type of coin, the forum can also makes you relater with other people, you even get to meet your local board community where you can find other crypto enthusiast but just know that it's not all of them that hold Bitcoin, many of them are just looking for a way to earn one or two sats to balance their way of life.

Yes , In these last two or three years I introduced this forum to many people especially our relatives and friends. Most of them agree and start Forum journey but also some friends refused as they said that they cannot gives time to forum and their setup without forum is well. one of my friends who is working for more than five years love to trade just by just following owning strategy and following 10% private group investors.


Yes absolutely and I saw the person in my area who even doesn't hear the name of this forum but most successful traders in our area and my cousin learned crypto and trading from him.

How far do you know that he’s not into a forum or something connected to bitcoin? Because if he wants to do it secretly, no one will know. However, success in bitcoin investment does not rely on reputable forums or any related activities that caters bitcoin, it’s all on the investor itself. If he’s a highly knowledgeable and skillful investor, then the chances to succeed is definitely high. But that doesn’t mean that he won’t lose at some point, of course he is. But he knows how to conquer his losses and maximize his gains.

Truth of the matter is, it is going to be a little bit difficult to have investors who do not belong to forums or groups or even small communities, you know, where they discuss about the market trends and the upturns and downturns of the trades that are going on in Bitcoin, and how the Bitcoin market is progressing.

I feel like being a lone investor in this kind of digital community is going to be a little bit difficult because there would not be a reason why you shouldn't belong to one. Since your intention is to gain good knowledge from other platforms, especially real-time information about what the market entails at that particular time, you want to be up to date with how the Bitcoin resources are moving and where and when you should put your investment or withdraw investment from. In that regard, you also want to get experience online from real experiences of other people who are also investing at a particular point in time.

It is good to mention categorically clear that being in a forum or community is not a criterion for becoming an investor. If you have the right information at the right time, you can always make the right investment plans.

Bitcointalk may not be the only platform where you would get that knowledge or the only forum where you can meet and connect with people. There are many other forums like, you mentioned, however, Bitcoin is one platform where you would get to communicate with people directly and even join trades and conversations that would help to make the right choices and take the right decisions as far as Bitcoin investment is concerned. But there are other platforms, even on social media, that you can go into to learn about Bitcoin. However, I believe Bitcointalk accommodates more real people and a diverse set of users of Bitcoin, active traders, and investors, whether they're into lump sum investment or DCA approach to investment.

I'm a loner, so I talked about it within my small group of friends and 3 of them got into bitcoin. 1 of them became "big." He has lass than me but still a very large sum in fiat terms at current price.
One held for 2 or 3 years and hard to sell because he had a child and needed money. He had less than 1 bitcoin but sold in 2021 half way through the bull run. There's also a third guy who also bought a little in 2019 and still has it stashed somewhere.

I've never tried to push anyone to invest because investments like to jeopardize friendships. That said all the people who listened to me made a lot of money and I never heard no from them. People who I talked to were always suspicious but curious. Never in denial like some traditional investors on social media.

Well it is not possible to be an investor without at least joining one or two communication group it could be whatSapp, telegram or a community that shares common information about bitcoin. I know that most of the word heavy investors are not here or let just say some of the institutional investors are not in this forum but yet they are following information and news line about bitcoin in other media platform or cryptocurrency newline where they could get information about changes and they latest happening of bitcoin and any other cryptocurrencies out there. In summary and from my understanding something always propel someone to invest in bitcoin and they could get this news through a friend, television or possibly from a radio station and moveover such person can browse on net to get the steps to invest in bitcoin.

To be a successful investor you don't have to be in the same community, you don't even need to force someone to discuss their knowledge in forums if they are more comfortable with themselves. They can learn their way and we can't guarantee they will progress just because they are members of bitcointalk, so I don't mind how their mindset is shaped regardless of whether they are successful or not in the end.

Investors may have their own community which does not necessarily have many members. They can build small circles of people who share the same knowledge and have the same ideas and goals, so they may be more successful than people in large communities.

I don't know how sure this would sound to you but I think from my own point of view anyone who basics knowledge can make it through investment so I believe being an investor on Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency is something that anyone can do or be if the person is a lover of making research and I believe you can actually od it on your own do just have the basics and learn by yourself through different articles online even if you are not part of any crypto community and I think the list you made of places to get knowledge some of them I think I can classify them as a crypto community rather more like a search engine😁😁

I love that quote. It's truism. Nothing to take away from it.

Nope, I haven't meant such one. On the contrary, I've meant those who knew next to nothing about Bitcoin and who didn't show any interest in asking penetrating questions about it. I'm not sure anyone who's interested in Bitcoin won't want to be on this forum or on any forum discussing Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

A tree doesn't make a forest. Everyone needs others to compliment and pull out the best in them. Lone investors may succeed but they will perform better were they in the midst of others. Being in a group with others exposes one to the knowledge others are willing to share. It's cross fertilization of ideas; a symbiosis kind of thing.

That sort of knowledge and information can be learned on Bitcointalk. I am not saying it can't or shouldn't. But I am saying that this isn't the only place to learn those things. There are other beginner-oriented resources where you can learn about custodial and non-custodial wallets and everything you need for proper bitcoin storage. You can even get it on YouTube by watching videos. Or if you got introduced to Bitcoin by a friend/relative, that's the sort of thing I would expect them to explain to you.

It's not like that I didn't invite anyone at all. Actually, I invited some of my known online friends to this forum who know about Bitcoin. Unfortunately, most of them did not feel interested in joining the discussion. They have their own reason and opinion about it. Some of them find this forum too old-fashioned, boring, and hard to navigate (but I don't think so).

Even though there are local threads and boards, some of them just signed up but never posted anything because they don't understand English well and the technical part. Some of them showed some interest when I told them it's possible to make money from this forum but later they didn't continue after explaining the process.

This was why I made mistakes at my earlier Bitcoin investment stage, the mistakes that many members on this forum have already made in the past, probably before mine, if I knew this forum right from the start I would have evade most of the mistakes, saying people don't need this forum to be a bitcoin investment is not so true.

Knowledge is power they say, but only for those who seek them, there are many things to understand when getting into Bitcoin, even while I understand the basics, I could not tell the difference between a custodial and non custodial Bitcoin wallet, which lead me into loosing some Bitcoin, like I've said, if I knew this forum as I started my Bitcoin journey it would have saved me a lot of troubles.

I've tried but as expected, he is even more interested in joining the forum and having a discussion. He even thinks that being a part of the forum could help him gain more ideas and know other investment platforms. Rejections just happen from someone who is not truly a Bitcoin investor and a close-minded person. I don't hear not name OP but with his words, I'd see some reason, he is a smart person and too confident that he could gain more achievement doing alone. He is more productive rather than discussing other people. These people really exist and deserve respect.

Sorry if I have to say this, you can still learn Bitcoin and become a successful investor even if not from the Bitcointalk forum section. There are still many other forums that you can visit to learn more about Bitcoin, but for me the Bitcointalk forum can get the latest and most credible information regarding Bitcoin.
Choosing a forum to get information related to Bitcoin depends on the comfort of each individual, apart from Bitcointalk there are still forums that discuss Bitcoin such as Cryptocurrency Talk, Stack Exchange, Reddit, Altcointalk and various other forums. Investors cannot do it alone, they need a place to expand their knowledge of Bitcoin and guidance to understand technical analysis.

The forum is just a part of the total community of bitcoin enthusiasts. Those that belong to a particular forum about bitcoin should be few in numbers when compared to the total community members that have embraced and have an investment in bitcoin already. This forum is a very educational and informative place about bitcoin but I still feel investors that don’t belong to any forum can still do better and become profitable in their investment.

The internet is wide and have a lot of informations in them about bitcoin, they could also get first hand informations from there without belonging to a forum. While getting informations anywhere, trying to filter out the fake ones from the real ones is important. What’s fascinating about the forum is that ideas can be shared while communicating with like minds and they can dissect and discuss relevant topics, issues about the bitcoin technology.

I've read about few people who don't know this forum and still be able to buy and hold Bitcoin, they forget about it and move on with their lives, it was the same that those early whales did, they avoid the present price action and focus on the future.

I have referred some people to this forum before but they are not active anymore, simply because they aren't confused enough, some are just too lazy to be active and learn something about Bitcoin, they lose faith easily.

There are many people that are so lazy about everything, and crypto is a complicated place for beginners, if they don't have that desire to know about Bitcoin and crypto they will easily give it all up and walk away.

Yes.

After all, Bitcointalk isn't the only source of knowledge when it comes to cryptocurrencies. I mean there are many websites out there that can give as much information as Bitcointalk can give (or even more). Though I don't personally know any investor that isn't registered here (I don't know many people around me that's invested into crypto), I still believe that there are some who became successful investors even though they aren't joining any forum.

There are many ways for an investor to gain knowledge. There are many social media platforms out there that gives information as well. Well, when there's many information, there's also many of misinformation out there so just be careful.
