Topic: Help and encourage newbies to grow. (Read 743 times)

Yes, definitely newbies should be helped in everything. When I was a newbie I got a lot of help from senior brothers in this forum. They helped me learn something new. I am very glad to find this forum. If any new member wants help he will definitely do it if he wants to learn something. If he wants to learn something from now on, he must have more interest.

While they do that, they shouldn't plagiarized their posts or they'll end up losing access to the privileges of the forum. Looking at how quality higher ranked users are writing, is a good way to build yourself but also you have to be unique in your own way. Don't just copy everything they do, take the good things and work on improving them. When you add your own style and spices you get a pattern for yourself. One good thing to work on as a newbie is your writing style. The way you write also helps to communicate the thoughts you're writing. Some newbies ignore the use of punctuation marks and spacing (paragraphs) in their posts and this messes up everything they were saying in their replies.


Probably what he's trying to say is that we shouldn't get too emotional invested into the forum, what will happens tomorrow if the forum is no more. The forum is just another social community on the internet and all you're needed to do is to follow the rules that the forum has provided for her users to adhere to and you'll be in good hands. Communicate on the forum like you'll do on other platforms and don't put pressure on yourself. If your post are of quality, there's every tendency that it'll be merited. It doesn't matter if it happens now or takes longer but make sure you're enjoying the forum while you're making use of it. Some people take the forum too seriously that you begin to think if they don't have a life outside the forum. He's just trying to advice newbies not to be like those set of people.

You see in everything you are doing in life once you never give up on it if God wishes that is your method of succeeding in life you must acquire it no matter how difficult it is, then it is wonderful that you did not give up and you keep learning more in the forum. There are many people who join the forum, but after a while they quit because some of them believe that by joining the forum or buying bitcoins they can get rich immediately. Deal with patients in all you do in life because if you aren't, there is nothing you can do because from is not what some people believe it to be.

The only thing you need to do as a new member of the forum is to abide by the rules and regulations because, just like in any organisation, breaking the rules will prevent you from getting what you want and may ultimately result in your termination; similarly, breaking the forum's rules will prevent you from earning merit, let alone moving up from new member to another, and will eventually cause you to give up because you get frustrated and tired. Most newcomers leave the forum as soon as they realise it's not as simple as they thought, but if you're willing to be patient and follow the directions there, I'm confident you'll be shocked to find yourself in a different positions.

Undoubtedly, many people have come to this platform in the last few years, who followed the principles of this platform. This platform proved to be very useful for them. People also get good profit from here through various bounty campaigns, and signature campaign which is the work of many people.This platform is a laboratory for new people. From here they can get useful information, and increase their knowledge and experience

People who do not follow the rules and regulations of this platform are kicked out of this platform. Those who are not bound by the rules should first try to learn about the rules of the platform and then get a good experience from the platform. As things become easier to learn, new people keep coming and benefiting from this platform.It is the best way to gain experience for all of us.

There is say that if you want to go fast follow the foot steps of successful people, this is also implies in the forum. To be successful in forum look to those in higher ranks that is when you will progress. The higher rank members did what is takes to achieve it to that position you found than now, if you follow their foot steps the sky will be you limit. The best thing is that stop looking at their various rank just focus on how to get there, but still dey should not be in rush to get there.

Not taking the forum too seriously is something you can’t have many individuals do. It’s hard for users who have built their life around the forum not to take it seriously. It almost feels like there life, there second life and somewhere they can express themselves as well as find solution to solve some of their life’s problems.

The forum have seen and welcomed a lot of individuals over the years, have managed to shape a lot of them too as well as outcasts those that were found wanting of its rules. Even at that, you’re sure to have some more people pouring in everyday and always about looking out for means to blend in the forum.
Learning becomes the first thing you owe yourself, do that and you would find a means towards bettering your experience here @OP.

I also agree with your opinion. Because by doing this, you will definitely increase your knowledge faster. Because by looking at the writings of members who already have high rankings, the posts and writings are also very good and of very good quality. So checking senior posts on this forum is very helpful to understand more quickly about making quality posts and how to write neat words. And lately this is what I often do on this forum. Because after doing this, I can also gain more knowledge that is truly useful.

Even I consider this forum very different from social media. There are standard rules that we must understand and apply. This forum is more structured in discussion. This does not exist in existing social media forums. So I say this is different. A beginner will certainly think and need courage to write. It happened to me, when I was new. Indeed, this forum is better and has moderators who are always diligent to filter. So don't be afraid to start, the best thing is to keep learning to understand and apply what has become the rules of this forum.

It is simple, if newbies want to improve theirselves, they need to be more often reading. If they are only commenting like in other social media, they will be hard to grow the knowledge because they only focus on the discussion without planning any target. I don't think we don't need to be serious, why we must do it? Being serious to learn is needed, it is the reason why we focus on reaching goals. If we never do anything seriously, I'm sure it is difficult to improve knowledge.

If the newbies know and obey the rules, they can survive in the forum a long time at least. Just imagine if they don't obey it and they do plagiarism case, they probably will have a short time only in the forum. Maybe they only survive several days and they got banned by the forum. That's why it is important for the newbies to read carefully about everything needed in this forum.

Yes you are right that mate once a newbie they need to follow the rules and regulations first in the forum cause it will give them  hint in how to grow by doing such good things and share your thoughts  and experience  but if your a totally neebie here in our community then the best thing to do is Do your own research in order to know more things.

Getting help here is targeted at the contribution and the solution you have made so far in this forum, With my understanding encouragement helps, but it all depends on how it comes, so the major thing we should be looking at, is to know if we are doing what will enhance our growth here, the growth of this forum is in our hands, so if we must grow here, we should not relent in making most of our post here to be a solution to the problems encountered or faced by the forum members at large, and this is by giving the forum a quality post, if you keep this tracks without deviating, you will get noticed and the encouragement you need will come in due time.

The forum just have a simple blueprint which is to be a quality posters and you'll received as many merits as you want. Just make everytime you write you're contributing something positive to someone either directly or indirectly (to those that'll read your reply). So many people have been able to grown their accounts from newbies to legendary ranks therefore there isn't anything that's difficult to achieve on the forum. You shouldn't be waiting for encouragement or help. You joined this forum for a reason so you have to help yourself achieve that purpose and not waiting on anybody to do it for you.

The forum is already self explanatory and very friendly as well so you don't need to be asking or playing the sympathy card. You joined the forums to learn about Bitcoin (that should be the main focus and any other reason should be secondary) so how then should we be helping you achieve this aim when you can't motivate yourself to learn. The forum should be seen as place of learning and you learn by asking questions engaging in discussion. Do this often and you'll be well educated on Bitcoin and can then use that knowledge to help grow yourself on the forum

If you want to learn and grow with ease in the forum then learn to take this forum like every other social media platforms you know, except that you have to keep to rules at all times. With my time spent in the forum I conceive the forum to be like a military barracks, we will all come and go while the forum still remains, so no need of being unnecessarily serious over every issues. Just learn at your own pace no competition, we will all grow at our own different time.

Many users who is new in the forums take forum serious but I don't  know exactly while some take forum serious but some don't know that they keep forum communication like other forum communication. Their is something I want us to know and the thing is that if someone have comment what's in your mind don't comment again

Actually there are already many threads that post various important information for newbies to be in this forum. The forum has various rules that must be followed by all members without exception. Here, indeed, some of the tips shared are very suitable for newbies, especially to make them aware that the crypto world is not a very easy thing to do, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to do. what's important is how newbies prepare themselves in this crypto business so that they can at least make a profit, not lose a lot

This is one of the goals in the forum, to help and encourage newbies to grow and be their best version if possible. That’s why position discrimination is not allowed here as it will only discourage the newbies from learning, but if all seniors will guide their growth and give them the best education, then they will always be encourage and motivated to learn. However, newbies should also take responsible parts in the forum, and do their due diligence to study because that’s what newbies are supposed to do.

I find it strange that a few more members did not lecture OP a bit more in regards to his choice to create a thread on this topic, and even the fact that he is focusing on a kind of navel gazing non-sense regarding how he wants to gain recognition.. and at the same time (as a newbie) seeming to suggest that he is wanting to motivate newbies, which hardly makes any sense coming from a fellow newbie and has a kind of pretentious tone to the whole matter.  OP surely did deserve to be beaten up a bit more for the creation of this thread, and the kind of dumb content - even though I had read through the whole thread because I was interested in what other members were going to say... and sure there were a few decent responses.

I did like the posts that suggest that OP (and perhaps other newbies) should attempt to figure out what motivates them to be in this forum and thereby to find topics that are of interest to them, and surely members come to the forum for different reasons and some of us are better at some kinds of topics as compared with other kinds of topics, and there are some topics that we might have a lot of knowledge, personal experiences and/or abilities to relate to what is being talked about without having to do much if any research.. and there are other topics that we likely are going to either need to learn from reading through the thread or maybe building our knowledge and experiences on the topic... before we can either contribute or to ask meaningful questions that show that we are actually interested in the topic or doing something rather than asking questions merely to troll the topic or the participants.

There is not necessarily any one style of member either, because some members are more engaging and confrontational and others are less likely to engage or to be confrontational, and surely it could help to have some abilities in regards to how to engage or have decent enough language skills that you are not battling too much in confused ways, even though surely sometimes any of us might end up in a battle and realize that we either went to far with it or that we might not have had sufficiently understood what we were battling about.

How much do we let our ego get in the way  is another question, because each of us has an ego, and sometimes it can become a bit of a problem, yet even some folks who are highly confrontational might not always be acting on ego as it may seem, and if you are able to battle over substance (or substantive points) and not get overly emotional about certain confrontations, then the ego may well not be becoming a problem for you, but each of us should attempt to figure out how emotional or ego driven that we might become about certain topics or about certain ways that any of us could be attacked by other members (whether it is a personal attack, or a stylistic attack or if the attack might be more related to substance). 

This is true. You don’t need to do other things but to keep learning on what is the focus in the forum. Since this is bitcoin forum, then do your due diligence to be aware on how bitcoin is created and how it will be beneficial to everyone of us. And most especially learn to stick with the forum’s rules, otherwise you’ll get banned in no time. And while most of the newbies are greedy enough to invest quickly without enough knowledge, learn to wait for the right time to invest and be patient as it’s the best key to succeed and last longer in they type of investment.

Everyone who follows the process the results will definitely be much better, compared to trying something without learning. Knowledge will bring a person to the stage of self-development in forums and the basis is more on discussion which makes posts more valuable and if comments make it more interesting and constructive to discuss, so that the discussions that take place will be more interesting and give birth to solutions for each problem discussed.

Anyone will develop and be knowledgeable when they are active in reading because the more they read, the more knowledge they will generate for us to discuss in the forum. The level of knowledge will be seen from how proficient they are in discussions by bringing knowledge and solutions in it and that's why knowledge is important as a trigger for us to develop.

Struggling never give up will help you be in better condition than before. Now you are in a better stage after going through many processes since you first registered on the forum. Refraining from rushing and surviving in difficult situations by not complaining is an attitude that a person must have to achieve his goals, the ability to control yourself is an attitude that reflects how strong your soul is in taking a long journey in the forum.
When there is no one who can direct you to things that can improve the quality of posts, seniors who have contributed a lot to the forum can be mentors for self-taught learning. As long as you want to keep growing, there's always a path you can take. In fact, there is nothing difficult to do, as long as you have a strong will, anything that looks difficult will become easier.

I may say that many members here, when they are new to the system, also find it difficult as you did due to the fact that they do not understand the forum properly, but with time and seriousness, they learn to understand the forum properly. But the reason why some newbies find it hard to learn in this forum easily is because of their eagerness to rank up their accounts,so they never find time to learn much about the rules.


If someone understands that this forum is a place for discussion and learning from various people's opinions, I don't think anyone should get offended by other members' replies because it is a free place where someone can express themselves toward others, so any reply should not be a deterrent to any new member. Even senior members of the forum occasionally have negative feelings toward themselves if any of them do wrong thing. So newcomers should view it as a part of human nature and consider it to be part of learning.

The easiest method of learning is by asking questions about what you don't know. So the main thing that high-ranking members expect from newbies is questions, not them trying to teach others in the forum when they don't have good knowledge.

Bitcointalk forum exactly most discussing about cryptocurrency from Bitcoin, altcoin, exchange market and all relation with crypto, its better for OP or other beginner want to get more contribution here read many guide topic how to start in this forum as newbies. Its not require for create or make the same topic every time and ask about how to grow up as newbie in bitcointak forum.

OP in the beginner board and you can see many topic relation with your question, its not wrong about your ideas how to ask way for senior or expert here but this question has ask many time here. For easy to understand about working rule in this forum, checked with the expert account history post and related with your local board if you find difficult with English language.

I also experienced the same thing when I joined the forum, things were very difficult for me, but with time I am getting use to the forum gradually, the more time spent on forum, the more you get to understand how things work on forum, you need consistency on the forum, if you are consistent on the forum and you are ready to learn, then you will grow with time.

When you are discouraged by the negative things you are being told on the forum here, then you are not going to grow on the forum here, any negative thing said to anyone on the forum shouldn’t make the person feel bad, it should serve as motivation and correction, anyone can be corrected and if you are corrected, you should learn from the negative things said to any low rank members of the forum.

Up till now I still have some high rank members when I frequently go through some legendary members ranks and I do view their comments and the threads which they have created previously, that’s what have really helped me to grow on the forum here, and am still trying to grow, so I will keep on learning from the high rank members of the forum.

I agree with you and additionally that if you're new to trading, check out these helpful pointers for getting started and keeping your motivation high. Study risk control, market analysis, and trading strategies first. Start with modest investments as you acquire experience and gradually increase your exposure. Practise using demo accounts to test your strategies without risking real money. Set attainable goals and track your progress to stay motivated. Join trading communities and talk to experienced traders to learn from their viewpoints. Adopt a disciplined mindset, gain emotional self-control, and develop patience for long-term success. Trading involves risk, so never invest more than you can afford to lose. Maintain your commitment, take lessons from your mistakes, and constantly adjust your plan of action.

I do not think that you have much things to contribute to the forum, rather you have to tap from the forum. I have seen many people who claimed they wanted to contribute to the forum, but in the end it is the forum that ended up helping them.
It is not easy to help the whole community but is easy for the community to help you. So, the idea is that you need the forum more than the forum needs you.

almost all beginners also feel the same problem as you. didn't know what to share and could only read some interesting posts. but from the outside it would be pretty good for a novice to know how this forum works. and indirectly beginners will get a lot of knowledge from the process of reading it.
not all beginners may feel that way, but more beginners do have to read more before they make a post. except for beginners who do have technical skills related to technology and programming that can be shared on forums. the most important thing is to focus on topics you really like, then being in the forum will be fun.

I'm still a beginner here. and feel that I really don't work hard enough and contribute in this forum. thanks for your words. I believe spirit, motivation and effort are the keys to success.

You will only see problems growing in this forum if you put pressures in yourself learning everything what you have to learn. The forum is not like that. People are indeed friendly and very passionate to help every member especially for newbies who have a lot of time to grow and enjoy learning from the forum. So just don’t take the forum too seriously, otherwise you’ll lose your patience and end up quitting like most newbies resort doing.

Newbies should never rush into getting merits, that will easily come later on when they have all the knowledge and experience that are relevant for other forum members. For now, since they find it hard to ride in the forum, then they need to feed theirselves first with adequate knowledge and honed their skills along with their daily experience in the forum. That way, they will come to understand what others are trying to imply in the forum, and will easily share their own insights that are also essential and not off topic so that the rest of the members will also benefit their shared post.

I welcome the newbies on this forum. And I will tell you that initially you will have difficulties learning and implementing, but you will get to learn a lot on this forum. So do not hesitate to ask questions like a good beginner. Do it and get the necessary guidance, but remember that growth takes time in business and trading. Some newbies are in pursuit of achieving too much in too short a time, but this will only be possible once you get enough knowledge about cryptos. You will get a chance to learn a lot in this forum. So strive to make yourself experienced and dedicated.

Every legendary member was once a novice, therefore if you are a newbie reading this and feel lost, remember that you are not alone. Nobody suddenly appeared in the forum and became a master. You don't need to be intimidated if you lack experience in computer science, finance, or trading to contribute meaningfully to the forum; all you need to know is that if you can remain current on bitcoin news and conduct your own research, you will succeed. Do not live your life on the forum. Go do something else and then come back to learn and socialize with other bitcoin enthusiasts.

Exactly the point mate, this is a forum just like every other forum out there where people meet to discuss and share ideas about something but the most important of it is getting knowledge of bitcoin which is the major reason being here now. As a newbie it is expected that they keep to terms and rules guiding the platform so as not to fail or fall victim of any circumstances more especially when they do not know their way about onboard the platform. Working their way would mean them engaging in meaningful conversation and contribution which would earn them merits and possibly increase their ranks on the platform and only then would they have the confidence of fulfillment course as members  here.

This has been the mindset of many newbies and including myself when I was new. Many see here as a company or higher institution or so. But later they will realise that this is a forum of discussion and also like other social media.
I wonder who ever created a facebook account and started asking people to help them grow on facebook.
They have to work their way out by engaging more with friends and that is exactly what happens here in the forum. For you to have a good engagement, you should be able to have a good knowledge of bitcoin because this is a bitcoin forum and bitcoin is the bone of context here.

Hello,

My modest advice: already browse the beginner forum and also look at the mistakes of others (so as not to make the same as much as possible). Then when you don't understand something, show that you have searched for it anyway before asking.

There are many tutorials for choosing a wallet, securing it etc... If you really don't understand, then ask your question and explain clearly what is causing you problems. There are many extremely talented people here who are very kind and ready to help you. I learned a lot and I was also helped a lot, I haven't finished learning and there are still a lot of things that I don't understand. But I learn a little every day, things sometimes as simple as putting a link on an image in that forum  

Personally, I'm not ashamed to say that I don't know or that I don't understand.

Your allies: patience, curiosity, learning.

Your worst enemy: greed

To all the newbies out there, don't be discouraged by initial difficulties on the forum. Embrace your mistakes as opportunities to learn and grow. Take your time to understand the forum's ethics and norms. High-ranking members can serve as inspirations, so observe and learn from their quality posts. Don't hesitate to ask questions and seek guidance when needed. Stay committed, be patient, and remember that progress takes time.

it's not unusual to find it difficult to fit in the forum and get used to it, most things in life proves difficult but with consistency and determination, you can easily crack the hard shell.

So for the newbies, there's a reason you are addressed as a newbie so don't get worked up or give giving up a thought, you'd be better with time

The most influential motivation is self-motivation in my opinion, motivation from other people might only add a little to someone's enthusiasm.
In my opinion, beginners who are joining for the first time should understand the rules that apply in this forum and then build an intention to gain knowledge and learn more in this forum so they can develop.
Another important thing is don't instill the thought of quickly getting a lot of merit or quickly ranking up in this forum because that will burden the minds of beginners and might make them give up easily. just enjoy the process of learning and growing in this forum.

one more thing, I don't think in this forum there is no negative reply, but rather an advice or criticism. if we get criticism from some forum members then be grateful because actually indirectly they have supported and motivated you by giving advice or criticism.
because motivation can be formed in various ways such as when we provide support, words of encouragement and even criticism to someone.

For sure the forum is vast and wide for new things to be learnt everyday by those who deem it fit to do so. I believe curiosity drives zeal to learn and when one is ready to learn, they development that passion and patience to learn that knowledge irrespective of what it would take or cost them. Being curious tells how genuine you are to learn more about a thing as the case may be

This platform is very vast for anybody ready to learn. As far as bitcoin and blockchain is concerned, there is nothing out of context here. Everything you would need to know about them are all available. New discoveries too are added on daily basis so as to build the capacity of the forum to educating her members.

Well you won't blame any newbie for that since its a normal trend to be expecting positivity to every knowledge they inquire. The forum is like a vast land of endless knowledge and yes like you said only patience and also the zeal to learn will be able to help you pave your way to success. No one who will find their way in this forum and not grow in knowledge and ideas to building a successful crypto life.

In a world of crypto where everything is unpredictable and not fixed, yes passion and patience will be the key to help yourself grow and be optimistic of the future of crypto. That is why this forum is built so that there is an assurance to grow as long as you also do your part by acquiring more knowledge and skills and widen them with your future experiences in the market. However, don’t be too obsessed with the market either and don’t be too serious. Just enjoy the ride and be open to more losses and few wins, that way you will never expect too much like most newbies do.

You did well by trying to learn by yourself instead of asking questions which already had been answered a few steps away. It's called self help or DIY – Do It Yourself. Most newbies are often in a hurry to rank up that they forget the way up is down; paradoxically. Looking down and reading/researching is the key to learning.

These newbies you speak of should also encourage themselves by aligning with whatever good this forum stands for instead of finding ways to beat the system. They should also desist from littering their post history with bounty reports. Those who have most of their posts in bounties hardly earn merit. That's the simple truth. There's no motivation that can work for such people.

I totally agree with your understanding. The beginners in this forum, that I see, are mostly too scared or very stiff when replying to a post. Even though this forum is a place for discussions, related to crypto (the majority), so there is no need to be too stiff or afraid to express your thoughts and join in the discussion. The most important thing is it doesn't violate the rules in the forum, the post doesn't go off topic (if replying to a post), and it doesn't make spam posts. In my opinion, this is the main point, because if you haven't been able to make a quality post, don't make it an obstacle or become afraid and insecure. Because the most important thing is just follow the rules in this forum and study crypto science diligently.
By doing this I am sure and have proven it, that sooner or later in the future you will definitely be able to make posts that will be more useful and of higher quality in this forum.

So for beginners on this BTT forum, keep up the good work and don't give up. Because when you first join this forum, you will definitely feel very confused and always get a lot of criticism, because I have experienced all of that too. But with the criticism, this forum is getting better and can have a lot of great users. So don't feel too pressured, because if you have a better understanding of the contents of this forum and your knowledge about bitcoin/crypto has increased, you will definitely feel more comfortable and there will be no pressure.

Some of them don't know exactly their objectives before coming to the forum, I believe that one of the things that make some people scare true in forum is when they know what they want, actually what you portray is nice but the thing is that some of this people doesn't study forum very well to know the difference between forum and other social media, in forum plagiarism is been accepted, so it's in addition to what you have said already

The very first thing to do as a newbie who wants to grow and deveop is to take this forum as your community,and as where you will visit every here and then,mastering every activity that is going on here,and make sure you participate actively in the discussion going on in the forum,make meaningful contributions that will be beneficial to people reading it,and also to those who are in quest for that answer.It is your continuous effort in making quality posts that will drag the attention of people to notice how good you are,and recommend you.
And secondly,you have to know that the forum is not a get rich fast forum,you have to exercise patience,and know that at the right time, everything will be fine.

Make this forum a part of your daily activities, regard the knowledge spread in the forum as a necessity, just like what you get at school where you have to go through the learning and teaching process every day apart from holidays. The learning process is without a time limit, nothing is difficult to do as long as there is a desire to learn within you.
In acquiring knowledge nothing is sooner or later, you can reach a high level of knowledge if you diligently read and learn something that you can share with other members.

Motivation for you to always be confident when discussing with other members.
Legendary rank members are no better than Newbies, it could be that Newbies understand the rules better and have high knowledge. They can reach Legendary because they register first from you, some of them are lucky to get Airdrop merit when the merit system applies in the forum.

We all are newbie and helping us to grow will be base on our intelligent towards contributing positively in the forum, someone that needs help will show itself by it's work and how serious is the person to invent new things that has not being known or discuss by another person, I'm sure that good reasoning is only way someone can be help to grow in this forum, i understand that growth is for everyone but we are the one that will work it out.

I'm not much desperate to grow because I know that i will be elevated either now or next and it's because of seriousness and engaged I'm will make me grow, i have being looking at some people who grow some months and years back, i went to into their files and i denote that nobody who achieve it's position today out of sympathy but it's because of how good and courageous is it's contribution to the society of bitcointalk. I'm not against of helping us as newbie to grow, because myself i needed to grow but the main aim is that we need to work our ass out.

Learning is a continuous process

Sadly, this is the reality we are facing in the real life not only here in the forum. No one is willing to follow the process again but rather wish to bypass the process and become successful within eye blink

The phrase 'nothing good comes easy' is not just a phrase but the reality of life. You must work hard, dedicate your time and remain focus in order attain your desired goals. The Bible says: "ask and it shall be given", but the forum says "work for it if you want it". No one discourage no one unless you discourage yourself. The choice is absolutely yours to make.

Read the Conversation. Keep in mind that if people are praising you, it's because you're doing something well or producing something that resonates with them. Maintain your integrity and your fortitude.Before posting, familiarize yourself with the platform's policies.Instead of sorting quickly for merit, build a strong foundation or a profile that stands out.

That just means that you haven't lots of knowledge yet for the topics that has been discussed here but if you do have some information about it then that's the topics you should discussed with or to relate with it. Anyway, don't take it too seriously when you are posting here and if there's a topic that you want to post into then you should make some research about it so that you will know what to post or reply in the thread.

As long as you can follow the rules and don't break anything - then you will be guided to become a more mature user over time. The main problem is in your mindset - if you allow yourself to be afraid to argue and share your knowledge, your subconscious will turn you into a pessimistic user.

This is a community built on knowledge - but not all is a knowledgeable user on day one. I think you already know what you have to do - so just enjoy the ride and do what you need to do. By the way - don't take it too seriously, even if someone comes out to insult you.

I long for this world again. I still see possibilities for having a fun side hustle. But so much has changed here and on similar forums.
In the past years, I've been in a completely different world and learned so much from it. I've learned a lot about politics, media, and globalization.

It's nice, but my instincts automatically bring me back here. Because I despise that other world.

However, my experience in that other world fills me with great fear that the things done here may soon no longer be possible. I have a tremendous fear of a "centralized" life. I cherish privacy and independent tasks. I love this world here. But will it continue to exist? Especially with AI in the background, something that can completely destroy all forums because there are no "real people" left.

I would say otherwise: feel free to use the search on the forum and don't be lazy to search for information here on your own before asking the same question for the hundredth time, littering bitcointalk with unnecessary and useless topics.

It is possible to get the necessary knowledge and information on this forum without moving forward, which, as you say, is difficult for some. It must not be forgotten that the goal (if that is the case) is to acquire the necessary knowledge, and not this moving, which can be facilitated if taken as a small game.

I think each and every one of us, when we get registered to the forum, experiences times when we nearly give up thinking that the way the senior rank members reply to our post is not joyful, however, they are mistakes that newbies made, and that's the only way they can be corrected, in my opinion, so they do that for you to know your mistakes, not to discourage you but rather to motivate you. As someone who is ready to learn, I think those replies will serve as motivation. Thinking about those high-ranking members, you can just say to yourself that they also started as you did, and if you put in more effort and do the needful, one day, with time and patience, you will also be there.


It's great that you're interested in accomplishing such things; nevertheless, it's not simply a means for being deserved and moving through the ranks the next by learning how quality their post is to get create your own too; it's also a source of motivation and some knowledge you'll gain by reading some senior members' posts. And yes, it's not good to rush everything on the forum. It's good you don't rush in your replies there thread that even if you go there you don't need to even reply but read what senior members contribute there, and you can see that you're moving gradually the fact that you're still in the learning process.
However, merit can only be obtained by generating high-quality information that will increase awareness, knowledge, on the forum and I believe you will be getting merited naturally.

I understand your point, so it is to everyone new here likewise me too, learning in the first place is very hard and also understand is another faculty but congratulations you understand most threads and able to related to them as well. Is good to hear/see new members like us who is willing to learn.

Virtually everyone new to the forum always fund it hard to relate properly in the forum just as it is in real life there are quite a number of people who finds it difficult to relate freely in a new environment, they are not usually like that but because they are new and not used to the environment yet they will not be free to relate with everyone at the beginning but as time goes on they get used to things and begin to express themselves and even make friends. So it is normal to pass through this stage in the forum thats why people advise to utilize this time to read and learn about how things are done in the forum before tou start making posts that may probably end up being a shit post.

One of the difficulties you have as a new member of the forum is getting harsh criticism from experienced members when you make a mistake. All of these comments are meant to motivate you rather than discourage you. They think that newcomers should all prioritize learning and asking questions above posting.



Instead of rushing for recognition, you should concentrate on producing high-quality content. All of these high-quality posts from these higher ranks are the outcome of the knowledge they have amassed. When you create insightful posts, the merits will follow naturally. Instead of attempting to emulate another person, just acquire the knowledge and be yourself on the forum.




Good motivational speach, alot of members fall in this category that lacks the confidence to actually express themselves properly due to one or two reasons. Moving up the ranks is actually up to you, its not a difficult thing to do and with the right mindset you will be surprised how well and how far you will advance. 

Of course, being a newbie is always difficult. Indeed, till you understand something, you manage to make many mistakes. And your own mistakes add frustration. But you need to work on yourself, and try to overcome despondency, if you want to achieve something. If we study interesting topics, delve deeper into various articles, then over time we ourselves will be able to start helping beginners with something interesting, we will be able to share our own experience. And it inspires not to give up, even when it is difficult and frustrating.

Newbies take too much seriously here in the forum to get ranked up immediately; better to observe the posting habit of prominent members and check what they have that you don't have yet so that you can narrow your self what the possible posting adjustment you can do, another thing is your knowledge if you are a complete newbie into the cryptocurrency taking rank up makes you more time but continuously learning and growing through knowledge and information you can get an idea what are the possible contents you can share in the community, people appreciated those gives you merit through your journey to rank up. Chase the knowledge, not the merits. Alot of new comers ask here how to earn and if they saw its hard on their side they leave the forum immediately.

TBH, this is the hardest thing that I can do for other people.
You know why? Because I can give some words of encouragement to other people, but that might not be enough for them to do some actions. It's hard to encourage other people.

To motivate newbies that find it difficult moving forward? What do newbies do when they want to learn something? They are spending time to research. They are spending time to learn that thing, and that's what newbies must do. Motivating newbies isn't enough if they don't have the initiative to research, and learn. Maybe you are pertaining to newbies here that have little to no knowledge about crypto, and not those newbie ranked players right?

Words of encouragement for newbies? I guess just continue to research, focus on learning, reach your goals, don't spam here, and don't scam here like @mk4 said. You're in the correct platform if you want information when it comes to cryptocurrency in general.

Things happen naturally and there are processes that most be followed to keep your head high. Here in the forum, the processes have been dished out in this thread and if a new comer follow it, such member will not find it difficult in here but to jump the gun is what leads to plagiarism because the rules and offence were not read. In a class, you have to learn the subject and have a good understanding to pass it during the examination, just the way learning is important here.

Not all people in the earth are born with the thought of helping others. Not even everyone has the mindset to help others. Let anyone say what they want but you keep trying to forward your own goals. Since there is no end to learning, learning and growing should be our primary thought when we join the forum. You will face many kinds of problems but no one will discourage anyone in the forum. It is not easy to go from a new member to an old member, so you need to be very patient. As new members join the forum they may not grow due to lack of patience and lack of time in the forum. First be patient and keep working patiently you will surely progress.

OP, this forum is an online community of bitcoin and crypto enthusiasts.
Of course we are not all at the same level and some members know a lot more about crypto and bitcoin and some less.
The best advice I can give to a newbies is that in the beginning they should read more posts from others and learn, and if they want to ask something, they should first check if someone has already answered their question.
Nothing is more annoying than when a question like how to get merits or make money on this forum is asked a thousand times over and over again.
When new forum members gain more experience and knowledge about crypto, they will become more active on the forum and this is a natural way for all members to progress on the forum.

To move forward on what? Rank? Socializing? Why do you need to use the forum if you don't have any interest here to begin your communication with other user. You ar not required to make any post or reply on any topic here same with the ranking system.

I discover the forum due to my interest on Bitcoin faucet, altcoin trading and gambling. Until now, I'm using the forum to interact and share my experience with other user on the topic that I'm interested. Forum is not a job that you need to rank up or whatsoever complicated things. This is a place to learn and share to the topic that you are interested. You don't need to learn all the aspect of crypto. The reason why many newbie is struggling is because they don't have any define sector here that willing focus on learning.

Use the forum as a forum and not job. Just follow the basic rules then you are always good here.

Wrong misinterpretation by other thay if they use this forum they can get all the support they need. But they might got turn off on situation on things they don't understand them they quit.

That's why we can say that crypto is not really for everyone since not all have big patience and hard work to spend time to seek for different sources of information to help theirselves to improve. Some just want to get spoonfeed since they don't like to research for info's because they are lazy about it and just want to earn quick bucks.

Going from a new member to a seasoned member requires a lot of patience. I will prioritize endurance power above all else. Because maybe many new members come to this forum due to motivation but due to lack of patience they don't spend time in the forum after being in the forum for some time but those who patiently spend time in the forum and those who believe that if they are patient they will be successful, they are one of the new members. Become experienced members. My advice to a new member would be to know the forum rules, learn about the primary topics after reading the forum rules, and follow the informative posts carefully. In this case, if a new member follows an experienced person, the new member will understand the various things very quickly. After knowing these things, a new member can improve himself by using his patience power.

This forum is one of the few that always supports newcomers. Users will tirelessly, day by day, welcome newcomers and provide them with the necessary materials for study.
I don’t understand how you can be afraid of something here if you are not doing anything wrong. If you come to the forum to study, then who can stop it? Another thing is important: it is important to understand that a lot depends on yourself, on your efforts and desires. No matter how they write about support here, no one will lead by the hand; here you want to see adults and not gentle snowflakes that require constant attention.

You know what guys this is the point, Total agree

---

Even me as Hero Member sometimes I don't understand a lot of things and sometimes I asked, in other members eyes maybe I looked like a total newbie but that is totally fine to asked something and reply a message you understand and nothing wrong about it

and when some people hurt your felling just don't reply the message and keep move hehehe

Same experience too but steadfastness, passion and patience was the keywords. I learnt alot from this platform and you too. I have had a tough and rough experience from the beginning as a  new member and met lots of challenges and criticism but all was my bedrock on which I stood firm on and here I am today doing just fine with my vast knowledge and experience onboard this platform.

You should start your cryptocurrency journey, and then use the forum as a tool to ask questions if you encounter problems that you have no idea how you're going to fix. Actually, you could pretty much ask anything that is related to cryptocurrency, and they pretty much can answer everything that you ask them, that is how I started this forum, You could start by asking something like tips on how you're going to start your investment or something like that. If you do that your learning and investing at the same time, and you could share your experiences or journey here in the forum. you don't really need to think of your topic since your journey and experience are already enough. Your might also have a lot of friends here in the community, you could also try local thread it might be easier.

The ranks weren't really important and yes it is not a competition so you do not need to pressure yourself just to make a post here in the forum, just make sure to read the rules.

Remember that all criticisms at the start are just made not to lose your hopes but to strive even harder so you can prove to them one day that you’re good enough. Because if you easily faint and be discouraged from their negative comments, then you’re actually agreeing to their negative criticisms towards you. So focus on your goal and stick to the rules. That way, if you continue to acquire additional knowledge and information, then you will surely grow in the forum. Know that there is no competition here, and if ever there is, then don’t get affected but keep pursuing on your set goals.

No matter what others say, it's important to focus on your own goals and move forward. The primary reason we joined this forum was to learn and grow. When I first started as a beginner, I faced numerous negative responses, but I didn't let that discourage me. Instead, I used those experiences as opportunities to improve myself, and that's how I became an established member here. Therefore, always strive to make valuable contributions to the forum.

Well I'm glad you're already getting used to the forum regardless of your rank and there are people who come here with entirely different  motive without minding  the merits and in all you've said,  I want to add that you shouldn't fee bad or even discouraged by any form or discouragement, ill responses or even criticism because here everyone exercises their fundamental human right to freedom of speech and most times, it is left for the reader to interpret what so ever the writer  writes and sometimes we try to picture the mood of a writer from the content of his writing and this technique  has helped me grow in the forum, so I want to plead that you draw  positive energy from criticisms you get rather than letting them outweigh you.

First i would address your subject topic; in life, we are out biggest motivator. So i say Newbies should encourage theirselves as they grow and be a massive motivator to theirself.


The forum is the most friendly one you will find in the blockchain scene/space. Here at BTT, You can contribute to topics, learn massively and also share different ideas. And there are different sections in  the forum, be it cryptocurrency, bitcoin, trading or politics. Discover your niche in the forum and make the most of it.


Instead of saying negative replies, i think it is only appropriate to term it criticisms; criticisms helps us grow as individuals, so you should not take a criticism too far; instead reflect on the critics word, disagree respectfully or learn from the mistake. Mind you it doesn't matter if you got criticized by a newbie account or hero account, it is never an attack on you or your idea.

I will say, enjoy your time in the forum, grow and also improve your knowledge about every topic be it politics, sports or cryptocurrency.
Welcome to the forum once again!

Exactly. There’s no need for you to study everything you’ve read in the forum. Just be yourself and enjoy the fact that you become part of this wonderful forum. And if possible, try to explore the forum just by reading what makes you interested. If you keep doing that with no pressures at all, I’m sure you’ll eventually learn a lot and replying to other post even from those high rank members will just become easier for you. This forum is open to a lot of discussion, so you’re actually free to ask and have something to say as long as you didn’t get far from the topics.

Well, this forum is just like every other conversation platform where people from different parts of the world meet. The only difference is that, just as the name implies, it's a Bitcoin discussion forum that covers every other aspect of valuable ideas needed by any individual in a society. Perhaps there is still an off-topic board where other aspects of life can be discussed. Any newbie that is more concerned about feeling insulted by the comments of other high-ranking members is only going to end up not learning so very well. A newbie should just develop a thick skin because, definitely, those insults or criticisms that you are avoiding will come, but your ability to overlook them will make you grow in the forum.


Cheers 🥂, Dr.Bitcoin_Strange 👺👺

Totally agreed, i have also stated these facts so many times which i learnt in my time here, for example at start i afraid to make thread so first time i made a thread/topic about market sentiments and many seniors (not regarding to only senior rank members) pointed out many mistakes, and by time i tried my best to overcome that, so after that i made a second topic and then third.

Even some members do not really like my topics (just to clear i do not think there is any haha), and share some reviews which looks like bad reviews to me, so what i just do is, not ignore them, try to learn am i really bad at it. So if the answer is yes then i don't make it again.

The point is you should not be afraid if you really wants to learn and always look for your pwn mistake before pointing out of others. And i think it would be nice if members take posting as competition because in this way, they will increase there post quality.

Welcome buddy.
It's the usual that anyone would experience on first registration so there's nothing too unreal about your case. Just stick around and have a tight glimpse on whatever is going on, also having the rules in consolation; cus the more you read, the more you'll get to understand alot too.
I love encouraging newbies cus I can actually recall how I felt when I first got registered In here.. - at some point, it felt like some sort of competition... OP, it's pretty simple today cus we've got kindhearted merit   sources around that won't hesitate on making a review, as long as you're not a shit poster.

In as much as learning is a continuous process, education never ends and patience is a virtue.
Like my friend would always say there is no hurry in life. Life is a gradual process, phase by phase process so therefore, it is same applicable here. As a newbie, you will have to get acquainted with the platform first by knowing the rules and regulations before possibly posting and before that, it is pertinent that you must have read through the platform to seeing you posts are made by members more especially established members of high rank.

Let me just give you a key or possibly an adopted motto by me  if you must grow and learn  here
"Passion and Patience"

This board is opened for helping Newbies and for every users. I didn't find anyone who discourage beginners but everywhere there are some users who like to spam, to break rules. They will not obey us if we encourage them. They are searching for shortcut to grow here but it's impossible.

We have to know that this forum isn't for rushing to merits. There are a lot of usecases. We must have to learn from others , have to share unique information, make constructive posts. But some newbies like to spam here , ask donation etc. They never think that they can grow here. Most of them are bounty hunters. I want to say to newbies "If you want to grow here just keep patience and contribute in the forum as much as you can."

What you need to know is to simply not take this community forum too seriously. Just like how you talk to other people on some social media group — as long as you follow the rules by not spamming and scamming and all that, you're good to go.

 When i came into the forum I found It a little difficult finding my way around and could barely relate or reply to some posts but I took it upon myself to learn the ethics and norms of forum and know what it's all about. And as time went by my journey here became easier even though I'm still under a learning process.
 I've come to understand that the forum is not a competition and everyone here have a say so far you're not going against the rules guiding the forum. So rather than being discouraged by some negative replys from senior ranking members, let your mistakes serve as your motivation, do not give up and don't be in a haste to do unnecessary things that would get you banned.
 One other thing that's motivated me is the posts from high ranking members, so sometimes instead of rushing to reply I take my time in going through the profile of these members to see their post and take note of those quality contents that got them merited by others, we learn everyday and I believe that's one of the reasons why satoshi created the forum, feel free to ask questions so as to learn because the more you remain ignorant about things in the forum the lesser you grow.
 The ideology of this post is to motivate newbies that find it difficult moving forward, cause I believe the're people that fall under such Category, feel free to drop some words of encouragement for them.
