Topic: knowing the basic concept is enough for a beginner (Read 401 times)

Everyone starts with learning the basics, as it’s the safest way especially for a beginner not to lost his tract in the forum. Just read and DYOR everything that you want to learn, after all the forum offers us a wide variety for learning. And from there, you can assess yourself if you are now ready to take the challenges in investing or trading, but never expect quick profits from all that you do because oftentimes, it’s the cause of disappointment. Just keep on learning everyday, its the only way to increase your knowledge and skills here in the forum.

Reading other's comments in this forum has helped a lot of us here to develop in our overall knowledge and understanding of the concept of cryptocurrency and bitcointalk as a whole, the forum has helped a lot of us with knowledge and experience shared by other members of the forum who always offers their selfless service by contributing to the various discussions and suggesting a better alternative solution to problems of another forum members.


So the ops are in a good position to learn whatever topics that he finds interesting and appealing to his/her desired taste for knowledge,  there is no doubt in the fact that, knowledge is the key and pathway to every successful life of an individual,  although building knowledge is not an easy thing to do, but then, but with persistence and proper research, we can make out time to define what basic things we need to remain relevant and accurate, knowledge is power so I always.

I do hope its just an error when you quoted me instead of the guy above me. Cause I did have self confidence when creating topics and I accept criticism whatever deemed necessary. Or if you believed that I didnt make a good quality post then its on your judgement. No hard feelings for me.

Probably anyone who would have feel this kind of ambition sometime to have stand out but thats typically pressuring ourselves but yet be as natural as possible. Cause at the end of the day, we arent competing with one another.

Thanks for the words of encouragement,but something I have learnt in life is playing it too safe is never the answer..
If you want to learn something be ready to make mistakes, get out of your comfort zone and try to learn from those mistakes. This is as good as learning  how to drive, you wont get it right first time but with familiarity and practice you will get better for sure and that's the mentality that should be used here..Of course  not plagiarism and the alike..here we have a manual/rulebook of how to navigate around and the rules are simple enough for anybody to follow and even you live within the guidelines you should have no problem.

All in all stay active, try to fit in the forum and don't look down on yourself you should be fine, good luck.

I can agree with the topic creator that knowing the basics is enough to seceed in the forum.
But at a time the knowledge that is more than the basics is needed in the forum. And you can see that users that entered the forum with high tech skills, with technical knowledge of the bitcojn and some who are developers are always doing better in the forum than people that just know how to send and receive Bitcoin only. It is the value that you carry that you will give. It is not bad to start with the basics, but once you are progressing there's every need to increase your knowledge of Bitcoin.

If others have done it and have succeeded in making quality posts in the forum, then why can’t you? I believe it’s a matter of self-encouragement and self-confidence too so you should not feel that way. Keep learning from the forum, just take it slow until you absorb everything that you need to learn. Don’t think to stand out in the forum as it will only pressure yourself, but rather think on how you will learn and share it to others so that you can be useful in the forum like other members too. After all, we are given equal opportunities here, just do your own diligence.

It's a fairly long time if you continue to learn and seek information and increase knowledge in the forum, to be honest, this forum is also not the only place where you can learn and get information to increase knowledge and no one forces you to contribute to the forum with Provide attractive posts for readers.
The forum has many discussion boards, I think you better contribute to the board that makes you curious to understand it and contribute to the utas that you know and are able to discuss the discussion, it will be better for you.

To accelerate the increase in your knowledge, be diligent in reading and understanding what you are reading, it will be much better so that you have provisions to make posts that are in accordance with Utas or reply to other people's posts.

Even though you have been a member of the forum for a long time, your inability to participate in conversations stems from your concern that other forum users would find fault with you if you make a mistake in some of your comments. I believe you are unaware of how the forum functions. Since you're here to learn, I believe you need to talk with more experienced members if you want to learn anything useful.I'm glad you are in a region where bitcoin is legal because you can now learn both in the forum and outside of the forum by people who are well known in your community with bitcoin for more clarification. All you need to do is by reading through all the pin threads of these forums of each section; I believe the rules that guide every section of these forums are there. From there, you'll pick up with what you want, mate.

Working to get improve pays a lot when one acknowledge the importance of it, doing research builds understanding as one keeps it as a habit. Sometimes people get confused on how to start but trying to get knowledge of the basic concept as the first step is the most important thing,  not having knowledge of basic concept can make learning complicated and their won't be any good result so far. One of the best ways to also learn is to ask people who are already more experienced things that are difficult to understand.

You actually just spoke some sense @ "asawale", because truly Bitcoin/cryptocurrency is no rocket science that can't be learnt & understood, only if you could sacrifice the least 2 to 3 hours daily into learning how Bitcoin and the forum works and in 3 months time won't be  conversant with the basic knowledge that could enable you join conversations here on the forum. Because one big mistake I have observed most Newbies do is giving up too early on the forum, (i.e after creating contents and yet not seeing a single merit within their first 60days) which in most cases ought not to be like that, as nothing good ever comes that easily. Patience is a virtue

I'm also a newbie the only difference is that I just started last month, if we just focus on having many post a day then it would feel like were just here to spam not to learn. I actually learned a lot of new things about crypto by just reading, I don't need to interact if I don't have any idea about the given topic but just reading such replies you could learn and adapt. I always visit Bitcoin Discussion where a lot of quality topics are there but I usually write things at Beginners & Help since I consider myself as a beginner.

You mostly don't need be a guru in tech or trading to post here. Just make sure your posts are sensibly cool, you're good to go. In addition, there are several other boards where you can put up a post in relation to their headings. You can post about Politics, Economy and many more.
Bitcointalk forum is a community where all or most can be learnt.

You don’t have to push yourself out of your comfort zone just to be appreciated by the people in the forum. If you think you are still in the process of gaining knowledge and experience, then just enjoy it and take your time. There is no competition in the forum, so just slow down and learn and reflect yourself from the posts of other members. If you keep on doing that, your knowledge and experience will grow and improve, until you start sharing to others significant posts that they can actually benefit particularly for beginners. There’s no wrong actually if you follow a basic concept, but also learn to improve and grow your concept as well as that would mean more appreciation from those who will benefit it.

But truth be told you were never active on this forum, because if actually you were there would have been proof and results to show for it, of which from observation made about your post history @ O.P, I could noticed that in 2021, you made just only 4 post, and likewise in 2022 where you made just only 6 post in an entire year, and same with 2023 whereby you have only been able to make just 41 post in the last 50 days, which is actually not the best way if truly he is ready to start becoming active on the forum.

Well, everyone starts with basic concept. But I would say it’s not enough to stay there and chose not to make an upgrade. One should always find ways and exert effort on improving what’s basic by accumulating more knowledge and experiences in the forum. Once you have gotten significant experiences, your concept views will be wider, and improve what’s need to improve. Though beginners should start from basics, but there’s a process after that if they chose to improve and grow their basic concepts.

In the aspect of been discouraged in the community of bitcointalk is one of the challenges newborn have to experience, so I believe many people who is in senior to hero member today started like you, the thing that make people to grow in forum is observation and research of thing that will motivate people, you have to be creative and also be innovative through your research, a journey of thousands miles started with one day, do not be discouraged, read and learn from others opinions.

Don't let fear hold you down!
Read the forum and look for topics close to you, you will definitely find them. I am sure that you know some altcoins or exchanges about which you can share your opinion in the relevant branches. I have the rank of Hero and I'm also sometimes afraid to write something, to seem unprofessional in something.
This is normal!

It's better to reflect and learn than to confidently write nonsense. YES, there are real cryptocurrency professionals on the forum who seem to know everything about it, and compared to them, we are afraid to be different. But they can't all be great at everything!
One should not be afraid to learn, because it is not the one who is inexperienced who is stupid, but the one who does not ask questions. I think Einstein said it.

One mistakes many newbie make when they join the forum is that they think the best way to be engaging in the forum is to teach others but what do they have to educate others about which is why their post are usually laughable because they'll talking rubbish thinking they're making sense. This forum isn't for you educating others if you're not experienced. What you should be doing is leaning and if you put your mind to that then you can learn very fast and start helping the new members joining the forum. Most of us had no knowledge on Bitcoin or the cryptocurrency market in generally when we joined but because of our consistency we now have a vast majority of knowledge that others don't have.

We have very enlightened members on the forum so you shouldn't be thinking of what to post, instead you should be more interested in what to learn new each time you engage with the forum. Do so for something and the difference will be clear when you drop your responds to threads. Youbahbe to learn first before you can teach. Is okay knowing the basic but don't think you can build yourself here if you just want to rely on knowing only the basic, you have to push yourself to know more by first learning although don't wait until you have all the knowledge to start, start today.

Since 2021, that's almost about three years now, enough time to have being acquainted with lots about the community and every basics you feel you need to know right now. The forum is more like a social gathering of persons from different walks of life and location and no one is here to impress or be impressed by anyone.

Such feelings as yours usually stems from a low self-esteem personality which eliminates all believe on yourself that you can give out  something worth reading absorbing intimidation into you that have mad you stayed away for since 2021 you created your account.

Now that you have taken the bold step to make a difference, I think you should start with reading more of others posts in the forum than being in a hurry to makes yours, as in that way you will be guided on how to create quality post and contribute to the forum
In as much as many would wanna bear with you in your building up. Flee from plagiarism and other related issues against the forum rules as I don't think there would be anyone who will be ready to bear with you on such erring.

I am a newbie, I just started posting a few days back. I have been to off topic and politics and society. I find the topics very interesting. I decided to try something different today. Arriving here  in 'beginners and help' I noticed crypto terms that I am not familiar with. When I saw the topic of the discussion here, I immediately knew that it relates to me as beginner.

I have read most of the comments on this topic and I must say that I am very happy because I see genuine willingness to support each other to learn more about crypto. So I feel confident now, knowing that if I ask any question relating to crypto, that I have knowledgeable people to put me through
