This happens too often with beginners who are very hasty and rush to create a topic on various issues without delving into the correctness of what was written.
As for knowledge, it will always be updated by the person who is interested and tries to constantly be on top of the news. Taking medicine, for example, it is impossible to stop studying this science, as new discoveries appear regularly.
The same can be said about knowledge of Bitcoin. Some people focus on the ability to make transactions, while others constantly update their knowledge since the area that is popular constantly has a lot of news and changes.
Topic: If you were to unlearn something about BTC…. (Read 335 times)
Have you ever felt having a good knowledge about a certain subject matter on Bitcoin only to start a conversion or thread on the topic and end up discovering the information had lots of mistakes and misconception. How did you really feel about those subject matters and what was your approach towards the observation and correction made by other users on your thread.
This have happened alot especially when we got misinformation from somewhere or what we are not sure about then we tend to bring it up here while others have an exposure on it before then, there are times you will also wanted to create a topic maybe you have lessser idea about it, yet you may think that no other person know about such until one discovers it had already been discussed, this are normal things, we made mistakes, but we should yield to being corrected.
Another nonsense thread that can be easily answered by common sense.
Honest these post is just sentences of garbage that needed more comprehensive perusing.
Try reporting it to moderator - maybe they agree with your assumptions and they'll delete it to avoid spam or something.A lot of misinformation is shared by some users on forums – especially when they get it on some random news platform that has no credibility. However, if it can still be fixed, someone will fix it so that the post is not misleading. Sometimes that's why you need to get your post back the next day and see who quote it - maybe something went wrong and you need to fix it immediately.

Why did someone force himself to post when posting isn't a requirement in order to stay in this forum? even you're wrong or making a mistake, then what? are you born with a same knowledge like you now?
If you want to post, then post, if not then don't.
Honest these post is just sentences of garbage that needed more comprehensive perusing. I try hard to understand what had written but I can't still grab it. I just hope he would change soon. Bitcoin understanding can be gotten from our rapports with people and also by reading articles. We can learn something and unlearn when we know that the information is no more valuable for us to stand straight. It is always good when we debug information that is nit useful to us and has become outdated. Information is meant to be digested for reuse when the time comes.

You make it sound very complicated.
To me, it's quite simple. If I come across a topic you have little or no knowledge about I just read through the OP and the comments, and if I find the topic interesting and intriguing, I can research on it further, but if it's not interesting to me, I just read the comments and move on.
If it's a topic I know and I have something to say, I say it.
There's no point in making a topic about something you do not really know, except maybe You're asking questions and looking for more explanations.

If you were to unlearn something about BTC….
This forum is so informative, such that it is nearly impossible for you to go home with wrong information. Even if you are misinformed, there is still another person who is ready to correct the misinformation and give you the correct information. That is why it is an open discussion forum filled with people not only with the broad knowledge of bitcoin, but also people who are inclined to learning new things.
If there is something I would like to unlearn in BTC, it is the idea of investing only what you can afford to lose in Bitcoin. It is almost certain that no one losses in bitcoin.

Constructive criticism is always good, because it allows you to “sober up” and get rid of erroneous “illusions.” Sometimes people get too caught up and overly focused on certain issues, which creates something akin to tunnel thinking. Simply put, it is easy to lose sight of important points, without which the same lots of mistakes and misconception.The attitude towards this is only positive and this is where all the “charm” of the forum format is concentrated, which allows you to look at the same questions through the eyes of other users, which complements the answer received.
While the concept of Bitcoin in general is broad and wide having a good knowledge of certain topic will require constant research and studying some of the concepts will even require experience and user interactivity. Example is the technical aspect of Bitcoin. I will like to discuss this how long do you spend doing research for a particular topic before making your post or do you have a glimpse of the subject matter get a good summary of it and then start a conversation or quality research is done followed by reviews before engaging in a conversation?
It's not always the same. In some cases, need to either refresh knowledge or study the topic in more detail in order to be able to enter into a conversation. But more often than not, I try to use the “baggage” of knowledge and experience that I have at the moment and therefore, after a while, some old posts seem “not quite correct” in view of the accumulated new knowledge and information, against the background of which the old ideas look “like this”.

None of us here is perfect enough to learn everything about bitcoin. Even those who have been in the forum for very long, still their knowledge is not yet sufficient that's why some threads could look easier for them but only end up realizing that they still have a lot to learn so they can be well versed in that certain topic or thread. And for that to happen, constructive criticism is what we need.While the concept of Bitcoin in general is broad and wide having a good knowledge of certain topic will require constant research and studying some of the concepts will even require experience and user interactivity.

Learning bitcoin can never be achieved for hours or days only. There should be no time limit in studying the market since learning and studying should be done everyday. And learning will only be possible if you also gain on hand experience on the market, that is learning by doing.

One thing we should have in mind before joining this forum is that no one is a master or knows it all, This is one of the things that I have benefited from coming to this forum and also one of the reasons for joining this forum at first, getting that right information, So if you don't have an open mindset in terms of learning, un-learn, and re-learning, then this is when you would feel bad about being corrected for the wrong information you conveyed. While the concept of Bitcoin in general is broad and wide having a good knowledge of certain topics will require constant research and studying some of the concepts will even require experience and user interactivity.

It is better to write on topics you know you have good knowledge about and have done your proper research, this way you won't have to pass on wrong information on the subject matter, if at all there will be.

The time spent is based on how knowledgeable you are in the post you are going to write. Songwriters/songwriters or musicians don't spend a lot of time writing a song, inspiration can be found from anywhere and then it becomes a song. Even though the comparison is a bit far from what we are discussing, the passing point is in the knowledge you have about something you are going to write. When you master all the knowledge about something you are going to write, you can finish the writing in a very short time.

I would gladly accept the fact that my knowledge had been corrected. I would be thankful that even before my misconception misled other people, it was corrected in the thread I created. Only bragger and self-centered people will get butt hurt when they are corrected. We should admit mistake when we are mistaken and not defend the false knowledge we has.

Learning is a lifetime venture so I won't put any limited time into the research of a particular subject because it might get updated every now and then, and I would make my thread a discussion thread so that more information will pour in and not post anything about a conclusion instead an inquiry topic to verify if my findings is true or not.

Those are expected newbie errors and I can't begrudge them. Most of them won't know how to get on the search engine, let alone know where to search. Nonetheless, I still see some of the old members who are guilty of this same error.Quote

As a newbie, I felt nothing. Now, I would feel embarrassed if it happens because I'm expected to first search through keywords to find out if such a topic had already been talked about here.Quote

The duration to this thing isn't cast in stone. There isn't any specific time to it. Sometimes I spend a few days munching on an issue; the thought of whatever it's, and to make up my mind whether to put it up here or just bury the thought. You know, it's not everything that should make headline. Some things are better left in private than headline them in a public forum.

First of all, you don't really need to start a conversation about every subject or matter that you learn about just to discuss it and be sure if the information you have is correct or not because almost every single subject and matter that is commonly known by people has most probably been discussed somewhere already and you can easily find that with a simple search. You should only start a conversation or a thread if you think that the matter hasn't been discussed before.While the concept of Bitcoin in general is broad and wide having a good knowledge of certain topic will require constant research and studying some of the concepts will even require experience and user interactivity.

It basically depends on one's own abilities and how much time and effort it would take to actually grasp the ideas and terminologies used in the technical side of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Some might be able to learn everything in a matter of days, but for some, it might take months because they are slow learners.
To be honest, I do not like being wrong about stuff. Especially when it is something technical or exact, like with Bitcoin or other complex or technical topics. I have certainly been in situations when I thought I understood something, only to find out I was wrong or didnt really get it when I tried discussing it or starting a thread.
But its all part of learning though. When I realize I messed up or someone corrects me, I try to see it as a chance to improve. I appreciate peoples input and try to acknowledge mistakes and correct them. But usually I avoid getting into talks about stuff I have no clue about. Its different from just sharing opinions on general things - if you give bad info to someone's technical question, it can really screw them over.
Just like what OP has said, bitcoin is a broad topic and needs a lot of studies and understanding, so it’s normal to create mistakes especially if you are still in the process of learning bitcoin. As long as you admit your mistakes and you’re open to correct those misconceptions so that other people won’t perceive wrong ideas, then it’s very fine. Even professionals do not come as perfect when it comes to learning bitcoin.But its all part of learning though.

However, as much as possible before you try to post something in the forum, make sure that what you have are facts coming from legit sources and not because majority of the people are telling you that it’s the right thing. Remember, this forum cannot tolerate wrong ideas and concepts most especially when it comes to bitcoin. You have to be precise and accurate on whatever you say because that will also reflect about your identity in the forum. Although we are not perfect but at least we try to become perfect on the thoughts and ideas that we instill to other forum members.

That is why we are on this forum. If I make a mistake or I do not get something rightly and I am corrected, I will appreciate the correction and even send merit to the person that corrected me if I have smerits to send. I am happy to be corrected so that I too will be able to correct anyone that make such a mistake next time.

I have posted some things on this forum before that I researched on very well, but I was corrected sometimes on this forum. There are a lot that are online that are not correct too. But we are going to keep learning by accepting correction.

Growing up as a newbie, I always loved challenging my self creating new topic that I found pretty informative to the community. Most times I usually had some negative replies from some higher ranked members, but I was never bothered because I was here and ready to learn. The whole idea about creating a topic of discussion, which most newbies now are missing because they probably are after getting merit is that you want to learn from the community. When many people share different idea about a particular discussion, you get to learn from many perspective. This makes you even better than them. That is if you actually read their replies.
While constructing a new post. You should already have your point listed, then you beging to work more on these points which when you put together froms a thread. The time taken to create a thread all depends on the amount of information you want to pass across.
I completely understand where you're coming from. It's quite humbling to realize that there's always more to learn, even about topics we consider ourselves well-versed in. When I've found myself in such situations, I've tried to approach it as a learning opportunity. It's important to be open to corrections and new information, as that's how we grow and expand our knowledge.
As for your question, I believe in the importance of thorough research before starting a conversation or thread on a complex topic like Bitcoin. While it's impossible to know every single detail, having a solid understanding of the subject matter is crucial. I usually spend a significant amount of time researching, reviewing, and understanding the topic at hand. However, the time spent can vary depending on the complexity of the topic. It's also important to stay updated as the world of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is rapidly evolving.
In the end, the goal is to foster informed and respectful discussions where everyone can learn and contribute their insights.

The forum is not a school project that you have do your homework before joining discussions. That being said, it’s also important to note that if you don’t have knowledge on a subject being discussion, it’s better to scroll and read instead of typing.
You don’t need to know it all, a little knowledge and experience on bitcoin is enough to have an opinion on various subjects relating to the bitcoin ecosystem. Partaking in discussion with other members increases your perspective and is also a way of learning and unlearning concepts. Criticism and corrections are welcome and should not break your spirit, in fact I think you learn more from “harsh” comments, they tend to toughen you up.
But somehow you really need to do backtracking on old discussion happened so that you can understand those incidents happen from the past since if you only look at the present events then you might miss something more important information that can help us grow. And researching those information takes a lot of time since imagine that you are digging those threads which happen for long years and buried so deep. This is how people relevant to old discussions especially when certain old events has been brought up to link it on same scenarios happen on current time.
People should really accept any criticism and corrections then don't feel bad about it since this can really be a great help to anyone who's starting up to learn something. They should be grateful someone doing that for them since its like those people is teaching you the right thing so that we would not get any wrong information on certain topic been discuss.
