Topic: How did you get familiar with threads? (Read 438 times)

Help yourself to read some more of the information you aren't familiar with by searching what all of those means so that you can easily mingle to others if they have a discussion. It's not that easy to just assume you know everything in the first try but at least learn what they are discussing. All of the information you needed available already on the internet it's just like a book in your shelf waiting to open.

Learning can be taught by reading and asking questions that's why there are people discussing about it and the forum is one of that to discuss everything that's why we have different or specific board for the question.

There’s no other ways to make you familiar with the threads but to make yourself focused on studying and learning new tech every now and then so that you can engage in a meaningful conversation in the forum. Laziness has no rooms to grow in the forum, so you need to achieve learning everyday so you can be a significant contributor in the forum by sharing the valuable knowledge you have gained.

We all get to encounter unfamiliar words or threads every now and then, but if we also make some follow up research about it, that’s the time it becomes clearer to us. But I believe not everyone is doing their due diligence when it comes to research and studies, that is why they will never grow in the forum and are still lack of knowledge even if they have stayed already quite long years in the forum. Except for those who are still new to crypto, if they won’t stop learning everyday, then the bigger the knowledge and advantage they will get from the forum.

All these concepts are scary only at the beginning, but then you will understand all the details of any time here.
Start by watching simple videos on YouTube about cryptocurrencies, where not complicated concepts are used. And so over time you will be able to learn all the basic principles of cryptocurrencies.
And you will also learn the key events that happened to bitcoin in its formation.
The main thing is to move forward and learn something new.

Firstly, you must not involve every conversation in every thread. You should only involve in the conversation that you are able to understand what is going on, as such that your contributions will be very good in the thread. Remember if you keep contributing where you don't have the knowledge of what is happening. All your posts will become spam in that particular thread.

Secondly, if you so wish to involve in those conversation, what you will do is to pick the topics  one after the other and study them at your leisure.
When you pick, what is Node and had to run a node, study it for few days to one week, you will see yourself being able to involve in any conversation related to nodes.That is the best way to go and that is the essence of the forum - to widen our knowledge of bitcoin and improve ourselves.

Why forcing yourself to understand all threads in this forum when you're not familiar with it? I didn't mean to say you will never understand about Bitcoin technology or other terms you found it's difficult, but the answer is always "learning", so there's nothing can be discussed.

If you understand and you have something to add, you can create a new reply. But if you not understand, then you shouldn't reply and learn about the topic.

Threads aren't created for arguments but rather for discussions and whenever you see such discussion extending in pages doesn't mean you must have an idea on what they are saying, which means not every topic you have an idea on the discussion matters, some members also track a thread and follows it up, they keep to the updates on that particular topic and responded from time to time to the discussion thread.

Before contributing your thoughts to a subject, you don't need to be an expert or completely knowledgeable about it. The most of your threads appear to be extremely fascinating, and people are participating there, so why are you asking how to become familiar with a thread? I assume you posted them because you had on your mind when you took the time to read carefully and without asking for advice.
People you see interacting on a thread aren't magical; all you need to do is read hard when you want to contribute on a thread; by doing so, I believe you'll grow to know threads. If you don't understand a post in that thread, you can abandon it and move on to another.

Mr. Antonopoulos is a very extraordinary person, I also remember being very interested in listening to and even reading the book he wrote when I saw a video on Twitter showing him teaching about Bitcoin to several people in an almost empty hall, at that time the price of Bitcoin was still very cheap.

his book that I really like is;
- bitcoin mastering (first and second editions)
- the internet of money (all editions)

I'm curious, does Mr. Antonopoulos have plans to make another new book related to bitcoin?

In every field and aspects to our human existence, there exists terminologies, not meant to confuse anyone but to use to differentiate or set aside certain things to come by a different and particulate meaning. Cryptocurrency is no different from what is obtainable out there.

It's of an individual's interest after building some interest in a field to get acquainted with the terminologies that is used as an everyday language in that field. Some of the things you've come to meet on the forum and these threads exists not just on the forum but on the web as well. You could as well search these terms out.
Don't make the mistake of skipping the details or meaning to a sentence because you did not understand the meaning to the text due to the terms, ask questions and search out what that term mean in relation to the field and gradually build your vocab about that field. That's how you learn and get familiar with them threads.

That's the best thing to do if you don't know the thread that you see being posted but it also doesn't mean that we can't post in there sooner or later when you have a knowledge about it. That's what I did before when I am a newbie and I came across a thread where I am not familiar with so I am researching about it before I post in the thread but if I can't learn it much faster then I don't have to mingle in there and came back later on when I am knowledgeable and the thread is still active.

The thing is you need not to follow all threads posted in the forum, stick to what you think is applicable for you and in which you have high knowledge to share with. Otherwise, avoid joining from a discussion if you think you have no ideas to share in the first place. Also, do not limit your learning process inside the forum. The internet has provided us a lot of resources to learn, so if you are not satisfied with the answers from the forum, then try to google search the topic and learn additional information from other sources.

Keep on making DYOR especially if you encounter some terms that you are not familiar with. Slowly you will learn and understand them how they can be effective when used in such threads. And as you’ve said, crypto is such a wide topic, so if you aim to excel and make the most of it, then never stop from exploring crypto and keep in mind that learning is a continued process, so you need not to stop from learning and even encourage yourself to be highly knowledgeable regarding cryptocurrency and it’s related topics.

actually, you can also search for it. information is in the forum and also you can search for information through your browser. when more people are active, you think you're not in the world you like. then you will not be able to follow the discussion. multiply your information and you will have an opinion worth sharing. in this forum do not see the rank for those who share information. everyone can discuss when they have the desire like you.
if you have trouble understanding something, search for it in your browser. I also do it when I can't understand something. that's very helpful.

The topic of cryptocurrency is incredibly broad, and many newcomers struggle to understand its many terms. For instance, understanding all the intricate details of Bitcoin's transactions, blocks, keys, addresses, network, market, trading techniques, and other components would take some time. The majority of people that contribute so much to discussion threads have a lot of experience with cryptocurrencies, therefore as you gain experience in the field, your knowledge will expand in a similar manner.



Just as it is Outside cryptocurrency that you can’t have knowledge in all aspects so it is in the crypto space, You can’t have knowledge in every aspect because the cryptocurrency ecosystem is so vast. You just have to pick the subjects you are mostly interested in and focus on learning more about them to gradually broaden your knowledge. I have seen some people engage in discussions about wallets and privacy but they don’t engage in discussions about nodes, blocks and mining. Its not because they don’t want to but they don’t have enough knowledge about it and they choose to read and learn from other peoples discussions.

You don't have to participate in every topic you come across, you can contribute to those you are familiar with and simply read through discussions in threads you are unfamiliar with in order to gain knowledge about them.

You will be able to get some basic knowledge about a thread when you read other people's comments on the thread. Therefore, it is important to read and understand the purpose and direction of the discussion before contributing. It will also be ideal to get more information from other sources if you feel you have not gotten a clear understanding of the topic.

Don't rush to post on the thread until you have gotten something different that is related to the discussion. You might not necessarily contribute but asking relevant questions might also be a good way of getting clarification. As you keep investing time in the forum, you will gradually get used to these strange terms you come across. In summary, be swift to learn but slow to post.

I mean, to be honest, I don't think you need to discuss it with all other threads here in the forum, if you don't know what they talking about just don't discuss it with them it doesn't really matter we all have a lot to learn because bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and its technology is a wide topic so there are topics what we might don't know. If you really want to know about it you could easily research it to have an idea, but in my opinion, the best thing to do is just continue your journey on cryptocurrency and then share your experience or ask what you need to know.

Those complex things on cryptocurrency would surely come soon as you continue your investment journey on Bitcoin etc. You don't need to post on every thread just post on the threads that you have experience and know really well.

Each thread comes with their own different idealogies,thoughts,and intentions,Some are brought to get answers to questions,while some are brought to know the reason behind some certain actions taken.When threads brings topics that are familiar,it makes one have a fast knowledge of how to access it,and give contributions on the topic given.When threads that are interesting drops,it makes the writer joyous because he knows what to write and it will give him merits in less than no time.
Threads are a piece of a person's idea,contribution to the bitcointalk community.If,you have no idea about the topic made,you don't have to bother yourself trying to say something about it,ideas comes naturally on it own.

Everything is on the internet, and what we need to do is spend time on it if we don't already know about it. Honestly, people sometimes abbreviate and many topics I don't know what those are, but it's not too hard to understand what they mean with the Google search engine, duckgo...these days.
No one will become good immediately, knowledge is endless, and we need to study, learn more, and learn forever.

Bitcointalk The forum is very popular. So everyone can come to the forum.But not everyone can survive on the forum. It is seen that most of the people come to the forum only to earn. So they can't stay long in the forum .This forum is a place to gain knowledge and earn from here. If you stay patient in the forum you can gain knowledge about everything.
