I spend a good amount of time on this forum but most of my time I spend with reading rather than typing or creating content because I believe there is a lot to learn here and sometimes it can get frustrating with the multitude of irrelevant post but there are a lot of educating topics especially in this sub topic.

I like to educate when i do create original topics of my own. Its also a way of learning

Hello Guys,

Welcome to my thread. Today I am going to share my own knowledge about the necessity of reading forum post. Let me ask you something

Which one you like most?

1. Do you like to make your own post ?
2. Do you like to spend time on reading forum post?

Both options are very crucial and one should not supersede the other.

For the first option, making your own post is the first step in communicating with the community. You get the opportunity to share your knowledge, to give your opinion on something, have the chance to get merited, and to layout your platforms if you are promoting your business, services/products. In other words, constructing a post connects you with the people in the forum.

For the second option, browsing through the forum and reading posts from different subsections essentially render you the necessary knowledge about cryptocurrencies, in general. For newbies who are relatively new to this term, they get to learn all the basics and fundamentals (given that they utilize the search bar effectively!).

Well I like to do more of reading and commenting to others post but when ever I have something I feel is important and helpful to the forum I do not hesitate to air my mind by composing my own post

Sharing anything is appreciated by everyone, regardless on how small or big it is. Just prevent spamming the forum and re-stating what most people said as it only contributes in flooding posts.

I also prefer point number 2, I'd like to spend time on reading forum post rather than making a new one, I also realize I'm not that good enough to create a high quality post/thread, but I also not aiming to gain some merits anyway.
If we gather enough knowledge by reading other members post then I believe it will obviously help us to improve our own. Honestly there is no age or time limit for learning because its a process which starts during our birth and continue until death. Every single quality post have got valuable information to build our knowledge vault.

Yeah its true that most of the new user get crazy to find the way of earning merit and i think getting merits isn't an easy task if you don't have the ability to make quality post. Merit will come easily when others will find your post enough good and helpful. We should change the mentality to earn merits from the very beginning where its really necessary to help others by sharing our creative ideas and knowledge. A quality post will earn its merits easily so its no need to be crazy for it. Its better to concentrate on making quality post rather than begging for merits.

I think it belongs more to a discussion section rather than beginners section. I prefer both, i like to take part in discussion but also like to read.
I spent ton of time here, mostly reading but also posting. It depends on mood also if i want to participate more or read more.

I am not against on reading posts OP since this is the basic way to learn and earn here in the forum. However, we have images also that conceptualize a certain message depending on what the images portray.

In my own way as a visual learner, I do learn more watching than reading tons of posts here. But here in the forum I can't help myself to learn but to read and I will just scan on important posts that are worth it to read. One can easily spot a good posts by seeing the user who posted it. Usually high merited users are good posters that usually posted interested replies or create new thread.

I have often seen good posters in meta or in this section. Luckily, not all users came to visit this section and make a good discussion with them. So grateful to contribute in a little way by not just reading but also participating in an active discussion.

In my case, I am an altcoin holder and I hold 15 to 20 different types of altcoin. The Bitcointalk forum is the first stop for reading updates about the coin I hold. And then I move on to the coin's Telegram chat. I rarely visit their Reddit pages since I prefer chronological posting and not lists that prioritised popular posts.

So around one hour to three hours a day.

Im more like a reader than poster . But sometimes i like to get in conversation . I remember in 2015 i was reading forum everyday and only in 2016 i did register to post something . Same with Crypto , i did know about bitcoin and other coins , but decided to buy some only after 1-2 year of following . The best thing i like about this forum , that you can find almost everything related to crypto here and ofcourse news about crypto most of the time starts here .

Reading usually brings ideas for me, to solve my problems, to help others who raised questions, or to improve what I am lack of, such as knowedge, skills.
In fact, I can not write if I don't read.
In general, in my estimation, I spend around 60 to 70 percent of my time in the forum to read, and 30 to 40 percent of my time to write.
Writing consume less time because even when I start writing, I have to go backwards to see posts/ topics I read before to organize my ideas; or I have to search what I need for my writings.

If you're asking about posting in a thread vs making your own thread I always prefer to answer other people's questions and reply to their posts instead of making my own.
If the question is about reading posts in a thread vs posting in it I have to admit that I always read OP and only a handful of answers not all of them. There's so much spam in some thread that reading everything would be a major pain in the ass.

Although I've known a lot about cryptocurrency, I still believe that it's nothing compared to people here. Thus, tend to spend time on reading forum post. Through this, I can learn more about crypto which I can say that I can't learn it by searching on google or even reading such books.

Being a listener is sometime better than a speaker IMO. In every stage of our life we learn something new. Its a good thing to have thrust for gathering knowledge's. Yeah its completely true that here on this forum there's so many people who have vast knowledge about crypto currency. We can learn a lot from their thread and discussion. So its always better to concentrate on reading their valuable topics. After getting healthier with own knowledge vault we could start to help others by sharing.

I am not suggesting only for reading but its necessary to have enough knowledge before start posting our own topic. I believe as much as we spend our time for reading forum post as much as we will be able to learn. You can easily detect yourself as a good quality poster when you will start to get better responses from readers.

Basically went someone makes it about Post/Thread i try to reading first, then if the thread/post was really interesting i will find some references to reply that. I will focus on reading went i want really learn about something, from google/youtube i will try to find a lot of information that's i want. by reading you will make more knowledge and will be wort in the future.
Just be careful with regards in using your reference cause if you'd used it exactly how it's said without properly linking your reference, you would be banned immediately. On the other hand, feel free to share what you can share that you think is relevant to this forum and useful at the same time.

Plagiarism is a disgusting act, I agree. It is so disappointing sometimes when you read a decent post made by a newbie, and you going to merit it, but after googling a piece from it you realize that it is 100% plagiarism. If you want to quote a good idea, no problem, go ahead, but do it properly, provide the source.



In regards to the OP's question, I mostly read other posts here because although there is a lot of garbage around, there are also great posts I can learn from. Every day I can find several of such posts. To save time, I tend to read posts made by highly merited users of the forum, and I rarely read posts made by Legendaries with exactly 1000 merit or by Heroes with 500 merit, some posts made by newbies are much more interesting to read.

I am not fan of reading but I do like watching pictures especially Memes in line with cryptocurrency. I often seen a lot of pictures and memes on telegram and most of it were really funny.

However some topics are worth it to read like users arguing each other. There are many of that here especially in meta section. The usual topic that is trending and so it was all about the merit system and the DT trust users. Some DT users giving negative trust that led to the conflict. LOL
It also gives us furthermore knowledge to know more about this forum especially to those who are new and aside from that the opinion and point from other people may help not only to give information but it also has a purpose to learn and get interested the readers.

You can't learn proper knowledge without putting your intention on others topic IMO. Absolutely new topic will give you the chance to explore your knowledge vault where its really important for building your own profile.

Topic about merit system and DT trust system is honestly an interesting thing for all the forum user.
