Topic: Have you met this kind of investors? (Read 503 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.

Personally, I have some friends that I told this forum about but they didn't register. It's somewhat being not being refused but they don't have the time to register for it. It's like saying you will do it but not ending up to do it. The reason can be a couple of things but most of them just shrug it off like there's nothing to do about it, even though I specifically said that it's the greatest forum for anything Cryptocurrency related.

They would prefer Discord community etc instead of reading in a forum.

I think those quote only applicable to business that required a team work, and Investment is not one of them. Tho it will still applicable in the stage of learning about investment, but for doing the investment, help from other people will not matter much, and sometimes it even cause negative effect and confuse us as an investor. Investors need to take all decision by himself and own it, so whatever happened to their portfolio they will not blame others or became dependent to other people's opinion.

Yes you can be successful just by buying and hodling Bitcoin, you don't need to be a part of any community to benefit from investing in Bitcoin and that's what makes Bitcoin investments very special. You can invest in Bitcoin and nobody gets to know. You can be private, have anonymity and make profits by investing in Bitcoin. You don't need people or collaboration to make profits from Bitcoin. What you could say is if you want to be actively in the crypto industry and get information about developments going on in the industry then you need to join communities but if you solely want to just invest in Bitcoin you can do that and be successful.

There are many of Bitcoin investors that aren't on the forum and they're doing quite well from just investing in Bitcoin and hodling their investment in a non constodial wallet and yet there are many people on the forums that aren't doing very well because they're getting mislead by other members that encourages them to invest into altcoin that aren't guaranteed investments.

The forum and other community has it good and bad side, the good side of the forum is that it can help you get information on potential scams in the industry to avoid and investment advices that can be beneficial to you but it can also mislead you into thinking you're investing into a blue chip project when they get advertised on the forum.

I'll start by saying that I almost never try to get anyone to join the community. I don't want them to make mistakes and come crying.
People in general don't want to admit to mistakes and they'd rather someone else take the blame. Nobody is going to help you make money if you can't do it yourself, so the way I approach people I tell them what I do, how I made money and if they want to try it they'll do it themselves. I did not get to bitcoin alone, but a friend told me about it in a joke. He did not want me to try it by myself, but told me that it's a thing and I can get in or not. That's the approach I had for the last 10 years and I feel good about it.

Let me speak about my own experience, I would never have known anything about Bitcoin without the forum. The forum served as a foundation for my Bitcoin adventure. So I would say that you might need a forum like this to give you all the critical information that will help you understand Bitcoin. After you have gotten most of the information, you need to start making personal decisions and not depending on the group. With the level of information you have acquired, one can now make individual decisions.

But there are still many people that are not members of any forum but they are well-grounded in Bitcoin Investment. They get information from diverse material online and offline and they manage to get the right information.

Their may be investors of bitcoin who don't belong to any bitcoin platform doing well in their investment.  But  I think Real lovers of bitcoin would want to be in any of the bitcoin platform to get more knowledge or share their knowledge to people who needs help. Their is a need for investor to be in a bitcoin platform because no one knows it all, we learn everyday from people's experience and things are changing everyday thst we can learn from other bitcoin investors.

It will be really strange for any lover of bitcoin or investor to be a lone investor ,  not having any interest to be in any platform. The essence for investors to be in bitcoin platform is to expand more knowledge because bitcoin is very broad, it is not just about the coin but other important things related to Bitcoin thst are also important that people needs to know about. Investing in Bitcoin is not just enough but learning to have understanding is also important when it comes to bitcoin.

No I haven't met any this kind of investors. I have know many successful bitcoin or crypto investors who are doing successfully trading without involving in this bitcoin talk community , from of them many have heard the name of bitcointalk and many of them didn't heard the name of this community. And I think it is also doesn't any matter  to doing trading, trading requires fundamental and technical analysis skills and if those are have in a person I think he don't need community for doing successful trade .
But for acquiring those knowledge and skills person or trader should have a proper community for a proper guide line and there is not necessary that it should be bitcointalk forum it can be any community where the knowledgeable person ready to give you proper guide lines for making trading skills.

If you have someone whom you are looking up to or somewhere you can fill challenged, you will gain your confidence and way in. There is nothing as motivating to me as having people whom I'm in the same field with on the same platform. The competition in terms of ideas is what will definitely pique my interest to do more.
 
There's nothing as good as having somewhere where you can exchange knowledge with others, ask questions, get answers, and also provide solutions to other people's issues. There is nothing that processes learning knowledge as fast as that. I know what I have been able to learn from this forum, adding to what I already know.

Of course, many roads lead to Rome, meaning that lone investors will also find their way to success. It's just that maybe the path he's going through is a bit more difficult compared to investors and the community. For myself, the community is very important for sharing knowledge, exchanging ideas and ideas, so that the decisions that will be taken are better and better than being alone, I'm not saying being alone is bad, but what's wrong with achieving a goal together? but the most important thing in bitcoin investment is only one "HODL"...

I have heard about such people in some society when they talk about BTC in one of the popular television that made many people to be surprised when they asked him about Bitcointalk.org and, one of them responded that he don't know anything about the platform but he heard that there are some platform like that where people learn a lot of things that related to cryptocurrency and earn from signature campaign and bounty campaign which he is not aware.

This man doesn't belong to any BTC platform according to what he said when they were Carry out investigation about his wealth and, he said he got his money through cryptocurrency investment when he took the risk to used his parents retirement money to invest in cryptocurrency and he got a huge amount of money in return that lifted him higher in the society.

I know a lot of people who know about Bitcoin before me and I learned about Bitcoin through them when I catch up. I read various news about Bitcoin but those news did not attract me to join Bitcoin but I met some people and they presented various things about Bitcoin to me so nicely that I got involved with Bitcoin. The people I know about Bitcoin have been investing in Bitcoin for a long time and gradually I learned about Bitcoin from them and later many new members learned about Bitcoin from them. Still if we need any help in any of these matters we turn to them and they give us very good ideas on these matters.

Sometimes if it is difficult to understand the market or sometimes if there is some dilemma in making the right decision, then discussing the issues with them can provide a lot of solutions. It is very necessary to have such people in everyone's life.

I do not know if the idea of lone investors and group investors actually work in this scenario because here in this forum, we do not jointly invest. All we do is share idea and learn. Such ideas and knowledge that is being shared here can also be gotten in other forums or randomly in the internet. So, anyone can be successful in cryptocurrency investment or trading without joining crypto groups.

I am of the same opinion with you. Many successful crypto investors are not here or they were here form beginning and suddenly became so rich and exited. Maybe here is mostly filled with bounty hunters and more.

Of course there is a lot of lone Bitcoin investors that I have seen, that are not on these platform, that are still doing well with their investment. Ordinary there are some kind of investment that you will do with a group of people and you will succeed, and there are also businesses you can also do alone and you will succeed, the only thing you need to do is to ask the right question, cryptocurrencies is one of those business investment you can do alone,  just have the background knowledge.
However for somebody like me, these platform has really given me the broad knowledge about cryptocurrency trading and Bitcoin investment.

Talking about the quote from Robin Jones Gunn, for me I think the best way to invest in a business is be lone investor, because most times for businesses that a group for people are into, it always comes out to be issues at the end of the day, except for a situation whereby the business needs a good number of investors to help finance the project.

I would say that membership in a forum or community should not be associated with investing. The forum and community are primarily platforms for communication and whose participants are not always successful investors. If you read various topics on the bitcointalkl, you will see many stories about unsuccessful investments. However, being isolated from such communities doesn't mean that lone investors will not be successful just because they don't draw information from such sources of knowledge. Such investors can use other resources (source of knowledge), such as literature and other things, for example, related to the world of traditional finance (stock markets) and learn from there.

A striking example is Tim Draper. Assuming he is the lone investor (he is unlikely to participate in discussions on this forum) that you are talking about, then try calling him not successful in investing. Remember how many bitcoin he has?

To let others know about your investment in bitcoin and how much you invest in it, you are taking risk. Words of mouth is kind of fast spreading type and you will not know how many people heard about it can keep their eyes on you with potential bad intention.

Invest in secret and secure your privacy as well as security of your fund is most important. Don't want to publicly announce your investments and live in fear of being kidnapped, killed or other physical attacks.

Physical Bitcoin attacks.

I had encountered few people like that in my local area. they are bitcoin traders regularly trading bitcoin and one of them is even trading signal provider, I would've shared his Trading View profile but not sure if he likes it or not.
Anyway. they had different reasons. and don't have any reason but simply not interested in Bitcoin.
Maybe they don't find bitcointalk interesting. or maybe it doesn't provide them the type of value they want. I even told one of them that they can make money from bitcointalk but he refused and said he can't make good posts.

That's also my strategy. Only family members may know that and how much Sats I have approximately and that I invest in Bitcoin. I don't want to make it public and nobody of my extended circle of people I've contact to needs to know about it and my forum presence here.

I don't feel the need to be on some missionary crusade to push people to this forum. I value my crypto privacy and that includes keeping a low profile about it in the real world. I feel more safe with that than to expose myself more than necessary.

People who are interested or invest in Bitcoin will get to know about this forum. If they decide to stay away, it's their choice.

There are many Bitcoin investors who are not involved in this forum and other crypto communities, and they are successful investors. I know a bitcoin investor who invested in bitcoin long before me but he hasn't joined this forum yet. I tried many times to get him to join bitcointalk but he says I am good in my field no need to join any forum. It's really everyone's perspective, everyone has their own comfort zone, most of which don't want to step out of their comfort zone.

But there are many Bitcoin investors who are successfully running their business with the knowledge from this forum. So successful Big Bitcoin investors need to share their experience with others to make the crypto community good and grow the crypto community. Because it's easy for new crypto investors to connect with success stories of successful Bitcoin investor experiences.

You don't really need Bitcointalk or any other forum if you are only an investor. This is a discussion forum for those interested in talking about everything Bitcoin. To invest, you need money and a good entry strategy. Perhaps some basic knowledge of trading to recognize good opportunities to enter and exit the market.

I have given up on the idea of introducing new people to Bitcoin or the forum. My closest friends and family know about my interest in Bitcoin, but I haven't succeeded in onboarding them. At this point, I don't care anymore. They are more like, you do all the hard work and when you get rich, you'll just give us some. Cunts!

You definitely don't need to join some exclusive Bitcoin club or community to make money trading or investing in cryptocurrency.  I've watched my buddy get into Bitcoin all on his own, doing his own research online and whatnot, without reaching out to any forums or groups for tips.  He taught himself everything he needed to know and has done very well over the last few years. 

I think communities can help people learn faster and all, but if someone wants to go solo and figure stuff out themselves more power to them.  There's enough solid information out there that an average Joe could totally pick up enough from Google and YouTube tutorials and blogs to get a basic understanding and  you can lead a horse to water and all that.

Why not? You don't have to involve yourself in a community to be successful in the crypto sector. Anyone can successfully invest in Bitcoin with enough knowledge, research, and necessary information about it.

l have seen him without being a part of any community or forum. One of my senior brothers is a successful investor in Bitcoin today. But he has no idea about the forum and doesn't even want to come here. When I told him about the forum, he said he was happy this way and didn't want to join anything. And I didn't force him because it was completely his own freedom. We cannot force anyone to join this community.

But yes, definitely, forums are a learning place, and by learning from this community or forum, we can expand our knowledge scope. Outside the mistakes we easily make, it takes time to correct them, but before we make those mistakes, the community or forum warns us through various discussions.

No, I try to keep my bitcoin holdings and my use of this forum away from people's knowledge.


If you invest with DCA as I do, you don't need to join up with people, let alone people from outside the forum. In this forum you are part of a community, albeit an anonymous one, which is enough for me. Joining up with people can be good for starting projects, but that's more for altcoins. With bitcoin, individual investment in the long term and with DCA gives a lot of profits.

They might be successful too because just as this forum their are more forums that extensively talk about Bitcoin or crypto currency in a whole but just as you said about some people not believing  in progressing or benefiting when they share the information or knowledge with someone else they might just keep it on a low and be gaining much for themselves and by themselves..

Yeah, you're probably over-relating it with Bitcoin.

I think I have recommended this forum a handful of times, although I know not whether they followed my advice or not. But it's no big deal. To somebody with reason who is determined enough to understand Bitcoin, he/she can certainly find lots of resources online.

When it comes to investment and as far as Bitcoin is concerned, I guess going solo is the best way. But if you are hunting for a potentially profitable altcoin, since it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, you better belong to a large and solid crypto community.

Yes, someone who does probably have heard Bitcoin over the news can do their own research and gather data that they need before investing. And someone who's techy that don't even know places to be part of can be a lone ranger on this market without even going on with some communities. So for example, many of them just knew Bitcoin about gatherings and seminars and they've met people there that are not part of the forum. So, every possibility is there and the world is wide so as the communities that we're in. Someone's success in investing on the crypto market can't be measured of what community they are in or if they're not part of any.

I don't know such people, but I can imagine that it could be quite beneficial to ignore this forum, because there's actually so much useless or harmful information here, so many worthless opinions from people who know nothing of what they are talking about. I won't be surprised if investors who rely only on their own analysis have more success than those who desperately look for advises and tips. I strongly believe that it's nearly impossible to get good investment advice for free, so there actually no point in looking for it.

There is also a quote that says, "If you always ask questions about things you don't know, then you will never get misled." I want to relate it partially to Robin's quote. "If you go with people, you will go far" is the aspect that when you have the right people to always guide you, you will always be on the right tracks and will always do the right thing at the right time because the people that are guiding you are already experienced people, and it will cause you to make a very successful investment. Then, going alone and fast, I think that while the person is fast going, they could still end up making some big mistakes, but if they are determined, they will still pick themselves up, rub off their mistake, and continue again.

AFAIK, anyone who is really determined to archive success in the crypto space will definitely archive it, whether they are involved with any crypto community or not, or whether they are going on their own or with someone. Most people who earned a fortune with Bitcoin did not belong to any community, some of them just cast their trust and got lucky.

Why not? Your success in Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency is not tied to this or any forum. Bitcointalk just happens to be that forum where people discuss on various topics. If you invite someone to the forum and they refuse to join, don’t bother yourself about them. You can ask them why they wouldn’t join but don’t force them to it. What matters is that the investor has proper information on Bitcoin and forums are one of the ways to get that information. Asides forums, they can still get good information from articles or even videos online, and that’s all that is needed.

Yes I have talked to a lot of people and met a lot of people who are working in Bitcoin and investing in Bitcoin going forward. But I shared knowledge with them and gained knowledge from them. But I have never discussed bitcoin with anyone new and in bitcoin forum because I am new to bitcoin so I have not shared my knowledge with many people but in future if I can get something good from here I will definitely share some knowledge with my community.

Yes, in fact that someone who has introduced and help me to withdraw before wasn't part of the forum but that person knows a lot of things in crypto before. But as time I've checked that person, no longer into crypto as gave up due to the market condition and can no longer bear the volatility of the market during the bear market. How many years was it? can't remember. So, there are those people that even if tell them good about the forum, they just don't like it. They want to go alone in the wild and deal with their own journey and experience and that's okay. There's no need to attract or invite people that have already decided that they're going to take care things on their own. With the number of crypto communities out there in socials, they prefer to be there as they only have to wait for updates and stuff.

I agree.

TBH I think most crypto investors don't use this forum

Except that works more with the fact she was writing about, and she's all about religion.

There is one thing about being part of a mob, let's assume in 2009 there weren't just a few guys but millions grabbing coins one month after the launch, do you think that outside that huge wave we could have head the same growth year after year also?
Lone investors are so successful (when they manage to time it right) exactly because they were the only one knowing about that gem, and there is also another example right here in crypto, the guy that bought quietly a few thousands dollars worth of shiba, if everyone would have know the price graph would have looked completely different.


Why do you care so much for what others think and do?
Sometimes I don't understand this obsession with knowing eveything about everyone on a forum that should be dedicated to privacy!

Sure!

Some top Bitcoin investors are not members of any Bitcoin-related forum, possibly because they are unaware of the existence of such forums, or they are not simply interested in forum discussions because they may have basic knowledge of Bitcoin and believe there is no need to stay in any Bitcoin or cryptocurrency forum because they can read and obtain anything they want from the internet.

My own story is that I met someone who knows about bitcoin and other crypto currencies. We debate a lot and share knowledge together, but in the aspect of bringing people to the forum, it's the other way around.
 
He was like the person who made me start being active here in the forum. It was just like a debate; he said if I say I know too much and I have much to share, then I should come to this place and try out my knowledge and see how humble I will become.
 
That was just all I needed, and when I started being active here, I saw that what I think I know is where others start from, and I had no idea of how broad the ecosystem is until I became an active member of this forum.

Knowledge has a lot to do with Bitcoin investment and journey and I am sure that an alone walker in Bitcoin who does not belong to any Bitcoin discussion forum will easily burn out of motivation to continue when the market cycle moves against his desired direction,  so for that, I will rather prefer to belong to a community where I and other members can interact and help one another to get better experience in the entire journey.


So for that, I can't be alone investor because of the need to also gain knowledge along the way up, because bitcoin is more fun when you engage in the various discussions and implement those solutions to better your understanding of the whole concept of Bitcoin.

Now sometimes, you gotta move alone... It's totally a different spirit when you're in a group of people but, it all depends on their energy yunno what I'm saying?.. if y'all motive don't tally, then it's just gonna get watery at the end...
Morals; don't walk around with People that are major oppositions to your dreams... They just gonna quench your fire
lemme look at that critically : how do you even know they're not members of any community at all?? The anonymity in here doesn't allow personal recognitions of any type... Ps: Elon could be on this site but nobody knows - NOBODY!

Yes such Bitcoin investor will progress properly.
Sit back and think about the earliest adopters and Bitcoin investors. Some of them are probably out there chilling and going on vacations with a lifetime retirement per say.
The main importance of being part of a forum like this is to constantly update you on security and privacy protection measures.

Like I always say;

Bitcoin is not about belonging to a community or clique, that has nothing to do with your understanding of how the network operates, if you are the type that can learn fast by reading and making research and also have interest in your privacy, then you can choose to go alone, but if you think your the type that like being amidst people before learning could be achieved, then know what you're doing and don't get carried away, bitcoin is aimed at everyone as far as you're giving for learning about how it works.

Ofc. People who bought B's just a few years ago, kept it safe and went on with their life would've profited by now.

Plus lotsa online crypto communities can be viewed publicly so anyone could lurk as much as they want as a guest. Common questions are likely asked many times as well, you only need to know how to use the search engines.

Common quote from Robin Jones Gunn, you may or may not have heard about it, but is "You go alone, you go fast, you go with people, you go far". Have you met anyone who knows about bitcoins, and then you tried to introduce them to this forum to come join this community, but they refused? I like to see what maybe their reasons where.
I am just over relating that quote to bitcoins; do you have the opinion that lone investors who are not members of any kind of forum or community about bitcoins or cryptocurrency can still be very successful investors?
