i am not trying to turn this into another one of many speculation topics, i just want to point out that if people started educating themselves about bitcoin itself and the market and how price moves instead of hanging around bitcointalk and reddit and waiting for random newbie accounts to tell them "panic this is the end" they would have been a lot more successful in their lives...

what do you think?

How many people actually use the forum for that though? I mean, nobody gives a sh*t about what some newbie account says.
Same on Reddit, stupid posts simply get downvoted so nobody sees them.

The majority of people on this forum are here because of sig campaigns and to have a somewhat decent discussion about news that involves Bitcoin.

And most legit* newbies are here to get some help with basic things.

*People who made their first account to ask some questions

Some newbies have been into Bitcoin for a long time, but they have not stumbled onto this site yet. So some of them might talk some sense, if

you take the time to listen to them. A lot of people think forum activity/rank determine someone's status or level of knowledge and that is simply

not true. A lot of accounts are bought by newbies and you can see that when they post. Wink

I think people in this forum is spending so many time doing bitcoin because they know to earn/make money in bitcoin. I think we are all educated here. Someone will not spend to much time on something if they think they will not get anything. They will think and feel that it is just a waste of time. They will rather go to instagram or twitter or facebook. It is quite boring here IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND BITCOIN so why hang out on here? So we are all educated that is why we choose here than any other site.

People are expecting that with bitcoin they could become rich in one night.
No, they cannot. These newbies problems is typical.
They just eat what other people's told them to do.
Without learning how the market goes and all.

that is true when a person buy some bitcoin he start dreaming for large profit even without maximum amount of bitcoin he thinks like this but I think bitcoin is a name of patience and care if you will remain careful and will spend good time in collecting info about bitcoin then it is beneficial but if a person failed in getting bitcoin it will help you a lot.

I think you have made a troll post, seriously you are a member now and that means you have been here more than months, and you believe that legendary and all the higher ranked members care about some newbie coming here and saying hey folks it's ending and they would like oh shit thanks for the advice. For your records none of the newbies post ate ever considered valid or sat much thought is given, the legendary and high ranked members will only intervene when they feel he's badly informed, and every one been doing his bit, people do not like to listen about Bitcoins and it's a pain, if you missed there were many threads where we had discussed how to get family and others on Bitcoins. But it's not that easy. May I ask you, why you are here and not gone to educate people and realize first hand how bad it gets.

Come on guys just chill. Don’t take the OP too serious, I feel pity for him for raising this type of question or comments. Look at this thing hanging out into bitcointalk, he thinks that we have joined this forum for fun sake.

If it was a gambling website then it might be a hangout anyway let me tell you that I have learned a lot from this forum and today at the position I am and whatever understanding I have about the bitcoin system is due to this forum, I feel blessed being here.

People don't educate themselves they expect other people to do it for them. Now Technically when it comes to bitcoin education is comes from forums like this and also this is one of the trusted forms & the most of the administration is putting out true information but with Bitcoin this is basically the type of education that they're going to have to go with it to get a good base foundation and then go from there.

I think so too. For example people often watch TV and their opinions are formed based on what the media is telling them. It can be a pretty tricky relationship and a lot of people dont realize how easily they are influenced

For me as well, first when I started I was all about Twitter and YouTube and following others. You learn eventually

I agree, but sad to say there are some who are not open to educating themselves about bitcoin instead are only riding whatever news or any nuisance they could hear or read about it. If everyone would've educated themselves then a lot wouldn't have panicked and sold their bitcoin because of the rumors about August 1.

Yes I agree with what you say, many of them do think they can get rich quickly using bitcoins, what they think is just a fantasy they do not understand how the price goes on whether it is going up or down, and some of the risk that Will arise in it, if want to be rich I think there is effort and struggle to achieve that goal, there is no instant way to get rich

People must actually know what they were doing when they joined the signature campaigns, earn bitcoins, mine, and trade. A simple good rule of thumb is to post as if you're not part of any signature campaign, also, they need to explore venture-off-the-beating-path

Actually, hanging around here is the way to learn more about bitcoin and its market. I was a newbie here and I have learned a lot from each crash and from other people. Some of you think that it is wast of time in here but to me, I believe that this forum is the best place to obtain more knowledge from veteran members. There are many sections around here. Also, you can start talking with other people so that they can teach you more about the bitcoin market

I think I agree, there are so many things that we can learned from this forum, sometimes internet can mislead people with false information and in this forum we can know how Bitcoin works and how to avoid scammer, I can get so many information from this forum and the most important it's the place to share experience

People are influenced by other people, no doubt, that is how peer pressure works. You are fine to have your own opinion and I won't bash you on that, and if you think bitcointalk and reddit are useless that is fine. But bitcointalk does educate people, and if you take a look around, you will see heaps of people's questions answered and them being relieved.

Do you educate yourself about gamma decay and radioactive isotopes when you plug your phone? Bitcoin is supposed to be for the people, to protect what they own and make it safe. To make it simple, still. Now many people own, and see the nuclear companies threatening to destroy the public utility, or forcing people to choose sides, or choses to be taken by then. But more still, it's like they paid 50 years of electricity, and don't know what to do. Understanding what is really going on is MUCH more complicated than understanding quantum and general relativity-there is no single consensus on what is going on or what will happen.

So if instead of indulging in how you get it, while not explain it for the rest?

This is a must for everyone. Many of the people here are just focused on earning Bitcoin and neglect all the information they can learn by staying in here. I literally experience annoyance about people asking me what are the signature campaigns in this forum. At first, I posted something on a facebook page regarding earning bitcoins through signature campaigns. I literally said that they must learn on their own but they keep on bugging me how to do it. They were so annoying so I did not answer anymore question about it.

People just want an easy way to earn bitcoin and do not educate themselves about it. That is why when a slight decline happens, they sell already. They hear/read about something they do not fully understand, they sell immediately. Pity.

You are "Hero" not everyone Grin

Well jokes apart, forums are meant for people to clear doubts regarding any topic in most socialize and personal way. You have charts, data, google etc but what forum offers is personal opinions of different users thus helping you to draw combine conclusions.
No doubt, BitcoinTalk is mostly spammed on topics from sig spammers and random newbies but still you can't find most productive info regarding Bitcoin anywhere else than here.

If you can properly sort out the news from the fud and hype, this forum is a good place to start learning about bitcoin. I learned a lot from here. And do not judge the information because it came from a newbie, there are lots of hero and legendary members trolling the forum as well.
