I found it difficult to ask him questions about how the forum operated, and after several months, his number was unreachable. Finally, one Sunday after church, we got together, and I took it upon myself to ask him for advice on the platform, all he could say was to post on the beginners' forum if you needed any help. Since then, I have been posting, watching, and learning from the community, but I still want to say that even though I'm learning the hard way, it has given me a lot more confidence that I can succeed on my own with perseverance and hard work
There is no process that will compromise the results if it is done seriously and honesty is the capital for us to achieve self-confidence towards success. You must have the belief that the key to success is learning to know many things because then you will have much better insight. Forums are discussions and we need knowledge to answer or just want to ask questions, there are many people who choose the fast route to success and in the end they don't get anything.

There are many benefits that we will get from the forum as long as we are willing to learn and I am sure anyone will benefit. Even though starting without anyone directing it will be much more difficult, there is always a way when we study seriously. Never be complacent and continue to explore your abilities to get what you want and most importantly learn to be yourself.

Well I actually loved what that very friend of yours did, that is teaching you how to fish  (allowing you to be independent and confident of yourself) instead of giving a fish to eat (encouraging you to be lazy). like you said he already thought you some vital things you needed to know and it was left for you to experiment it, that is putting it in practice rather than still waiting on him for more help, that is human being for you. If you should study the threads really well, the forums and go through the terms and condition there's actually nothing difficult there.
Mostly people will not want to learn they will prefer to be giving the fish always, and it does not work that way because the fisher man will get tired and when they get getting the fish they will actually get tired and they wont even think of trying to help there self by learning how to fish. and when you learn you will have respect from learning from the fisherman, and practicing on your own might just make you a better person look at the lions they wont continue to haunt for their cubs, they will take them along when hunting even when they are small that way they will survive in the wild them self so if you want to survive in the wild it is better to learn and not depend to be feed, it wont help.

Anything that involves money is not easy and that is one of the reasons you see people avoiding bitcoin because they feel its hard and they can not do it, before they start they have already discouraged there self, and that is why when they even start the actual thing they wont succeed because of the mindset they use in starting, i was happy with the topic, learning and having something to do is one of the best ways to sustain your self even if you don't have money.

but I still want to say that even though I'm learning the hard way, it has given me a lot more confidence that I can succeed on my own with perseverance and hard work.
Your friend is very stingy with knowledge, what's so difficult about teaching you about the performance of this forum, I think if you have a strong desire it only takes a few hours, you are already proficient and understand how to post and understand the performance of this forum.

But don't worry, there are still lots of good people here who want to share knowledge about anything, including understanding forum performance, Bitcoin and so on, don't be shy to ask questions and learn a lot about anything as a beginner.

My suggestion, visit these boards: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0, you will find various rules that can be done and vice versa, as well as rankings and don't forget to review these: SMF User Help: Posting, I'm sure it will be useful for you, as well as other things such as: Topic: How to add photos to a post, good luck here.

You may feel betrayed but this is the best approach to learning, do it yourself. Fail, make mistakes and learn from them. You stagnated your own learning process because you were waiting for a friend to mentor you when in fact you needed was right here on the forum. The most important question you should ask yourself is why are you here. Is it to learn about bitcoin? If it is, you should not wait until your friend’s approval before doing what you want. It’s been two years since you registered this account, have you bought bitcoin since then or are you also waiting for your friend?
The mistake is to trust someone easily.
Mentorship is not a wrong decision for a beginner but choosing the wrong and untrusted person would take all our chances and go in the wrong direction. It happens not often but I think we need to learn our own even if we struggle hard at least, if we fail, we just blame ourselves not others. I believe that OP has realized already the mistake he/she made, probably not going to happen again in the future.

Learning mistakes is not a difficult thing to do especially if we want to grow. I am certain that we all commit mistakes but we need to open our minds and think in a positive way rather than in a negative way.

Actually I think is very good to learn by ourselves instead of depending on other people, so that should in case they're not there to help us so that we won't find it difficult. there are so many ways in which we can learn by ourselves, one of them is through research if there's anything we don't understand we can make research. However I think the reason why most newbies find it difficult to understand the forum more especially those newbies that was introduced by there friend is because they always expect their friend to give them the whole information about the forum, sometimes their friend might not give them attention. at this point they will find it very difficult to cope, most of them can even quit in the process, that is why is very important to learn by ourselves.

Reading the helping guide and learning is not very hard. Moreover, if you want to achieve something big in life, you must do a little hardship, you can never grow without hardship. And the most important thing is that you don't have to do any physical work here, you just have to read and gain knowledge, it's not too difficult, just mental work is a little bit more.

Anyway good luck to you, hope you can go far, keep going.

If you look carefully at people's profiles, you will most likely understand that there are a lot of people on the forum who came to the forum themselves, learned about the rules themselves, and made a name for themselves.
So what unusual things are you telling us today? You are not alone in your endeavors. Maybe we should pat you on the shoulder and call you a “smart boy”? You should be more humble in your successes and more determined in seeking knowledge and then teaching more people like you. If you don’t like your friend’s behavior, then be different, gain knowledge, teach, and help without betraying them.
Knowledge is important, it phases comes with different sectors and we have the top set of people that easily have access to information. The forum is broad enough to embodied everyone but it seems there's basically no greater part than laying sacrifices for a promising future. Everyone must not have to participate in leisure because they have this gift of settling for basic information and research by themselves. This category of people will always be ahead of their colleagues when it comes to projects.

This is a true story: after learning about the forum, I went to see a friend for assistance. He helped me set up an account and then, when I tried to ask him for help posting, he refused and told me that since we are not close, I would have to learn how to post on the forum on my own. I found it difficult to ask him questions about how the forum operated, and after several months, his number was unreachable. Finally, one Sunday after church, we got together, and I took it upon myself to ask him for advice on the platform, all he could say was to post on the beginners' forum if you needed any help.

In being in the empathetic side, it would be nice if your friend would have just shown you the ropes on how the forum works but I still think it would have been better this way, when you are learning on your own rather than being spoon-fed all the information.

Quote from: moneystery
in my experience, i didn't encounter any difficulties when i first registered on this forum, because to be honest, everything was very clear and quite easy to understand. even if you don't have a friend to introduce you to this forum, you can still clearly understand what is needed to develop your account on this forum and what the rules of this forum are. i just don't understand why there are so many newbies who make this forum so difficult to understand, even though if you have difficulty you can use the search feature or ask the members of this forum directly. it's that easy and there's no need to make it too complicated.
I don't think there are difficult things in this forum, because they are using simple grammar that will make people to understand what they are discussing in the forum and you can contribute if you have idea on what they are discussing in the forum.

There are some friends that will be forming they are helping you, but they will take the advantage of the help to have access to your privacy by helping you to create account, which they can use them against you in future,  but I know there are some good friends that will impact the knowledge to you without doing such a thing to your privacy.

If you want to understand so many things from Bitcointalk.org, create more time in your local board, I believe they will teach you in a local way for you to improve in quality post because they know how to use their local language to make their people to understand everything about the forum.
Right, posting in your local boards first will generate a big help because they can explain it clearly to you using your local language. But you should not just rely whatever they say, do your diligence to research as well. You cannot maximize learning if you don’t learn on yourself first. Take time to explore and read as much as you can. When you struggle on understanding some of what you read, that’s the time you will ask help from your local boards so they can clearly explain it to you. It’s always a two way learning to make the learning more effective.

As long as we explore the forum and read some important topics then we will learned a lot of thing's  cause most of all topic's that we want to learn is already here all we need to do is to search and read those one.
Also learned in our own is an good example of explorer anyways we need some help if we won't understand what are the topics all about but if the majority is learning form our own is a big achievements. Cause if we rely or owe something in our friends  especially like here in this community is getting worst. So it's better to put our heads up and learn.

Everyone who enter in the forum should be responsible to do their part all by themselves. It’s not just like someone is obliged to help you all throughout the learning process, you should do your own diligence to learn. Otherwise, you won’t be able to prove your value in the forum, and won’t earn the trust and recognition simply because your existence does not make any essence to other members.

Now with regards to the attitude of your friend, I guess that’s just his own way of helping you to learn on your own without relying to other people. But if someone will ask you help in the future, don’t be rude but help him educate himself until he can finally stand on his own feet.

You are doing very well for yourself if you have been able to earn 10+ merits by yourself without anyone's assistance in showing you how to earn them. If you can earn that amount of merits, it means that if you continue, you can keep earning. The person who introduced you to this forum has already done the best thing of introducing you here, as you followed up by trying to figure it out yourself, you have done the best. Congratulations because in like two years, you will notice a massive increase in knowledge.

To be honest, it's not as easy as you make it sound if the person has absolutely no experience with forums such as this. The ability to read and write doesn't make a person understand everything they are seeing, they can't find specific sections and where they need to make their posts, they find it hard to understand the rules, and are always afraid of getting banned or blocked, etc.

I know one can learn all these things if they spend some time experimenting with everything, I have learned everything myself after joining the forum, never had someone guiding me through, I did have some difficulties initially but since I was an internet freak, I figured out everything way earlier than a normal person would do.

I beg to disagree with you on this. It's actually not easy as it may seem considering the individual's learning ability but the problem most people encounter with the forum at their early stage is lack of reading. I don't see anything technical here that one can not understand by reading. All these sections are specifically identified on the home page with a little explanatory summary of each board. Someone who's familiar with internet should know that visiting beginners section is the first step to begin with in any platform and virtually everything you need to know is pin on the beginners board.

Quite well, I understand your point and I'm not disputing the importance of having a tutor but this forum is not too hard for someone to cope with. Op is making it sound like a big deal to thrive here without a mentor. Asking someone to help you with posting has rendered the purpose of your account creation meaningless. The purpose of being here in the first place is to learn and I don't see it as learning in hard way, it's a normal thing.

Hopefully you don't feel bad for his refusal to teach you something regarding on what other things you need to do here since you need to understand that we have different activities participating and maybe he's busy on other things that he think more beneficial to him so try to understand him. Its good to know that you are trying to learn by yourself since your eagerness to learn will put you on better position someday and just continue reading some quality discussion since for sure later on you could easily learn and think about everything is easy to learn by help of this forum. Hard works pays of later on if you exert more effort to learn so for know seek for a lot of knowledge since this is the most ideal thing to do.

You're right must newbie find it very difficult to understand this forum, However I think the reason why most newbie find it difficult to understand is because they don't read the rules and regulations of the forum, because if you read the rules and regulations of the forum very well you won't find anything difficult in the forum.  from there you're going to know the dos and donts of the forum then you have to follow the rules and regulations accordingly, with this there's no way you're going to encounter any difficulties in this forum, if there's anything you don't understand you can also ask questions as you're guided.

I think you are only calling it learning the hard because you don’t  have the zeal to learn about bitcoin, maybe your are not really here to learn about bitcoin, maybe you are just here to stick around so you can survive in your investment. When you have passion for something you can go to any length just to be the best in it and you can never see learning it as a problem.

And again you said you never knew about the  beginners and help sector, but going through you profile you have engage severally in the beginners and help sector. So maybe you are just saying all of this to get some attention. But regardless of what you said the beginners and help sector is one of the most fundamental sector of this forum, it help newbies a lot because you can get a lot of help from here. High ranking members are always here to help newbies in their problems. I urge you to read the forum rules and regulations, it will help you a lot to blend in.

I will not agree with anyone that say this forum is very accept the person is not read to lean. Because nothing is difficult here since the person can read write so I don't see anything that Wil stop him from understanding this forum, we all know that even for school we have some the level that a person needs to start before going to high level that's how this forum be too.

Furlthermore, we have so many of board here that you can visit as  a biginners that you can quickly earned knowledge and understand better about this place, because even me the first I started this forum I feel like going back but after I relay that this this place not support difficult for me since i can read and write and possibly with in one week i start navigate the forums and also comprehend how it operates.

A lot of people (newbies) always say the same, how hard it is to figure out their ways around the forum but perhaps it's not that hard to share your thoughts on a topic that is being created or you creating a thread from your misunderstandings or complicated issues around bitcoin isn't that hard as over exaggerated but although it might feel difficult for a newbie around the forum when the find out the ranking system, the tension on trying to rank up makes them feel like it's too difficult around the forum but its not really.

You just have to empty your mind on whatever to read and learn from any source in the forum but where you want to reach a level where someone is at a short period of time then it becomes a hard task for the newbie.

The forum is simple just as the it says simple machine forum, you don't need too much because it's a user friendly site, the user interface is not difficult to figure out sections and areas where your thoughts could shared.

I Love to learn on my own, since I don't need to follow the step-by-step guidance of a teacher. When this famous quote was first made: "He that teaches himself has a fool for a master." ~Benjamin Franklin", he did not have the internet to help.  Smiley

Well, you are navigating around the forum dose not mean you are learning something new; it can be something new but seeing that this is a public and general forum, everyone can post and discuss here without learning anything about the forum since if they can read and write they can understand how the forum operates.

The first time I saw this forum it was not attractive. It is very rare to see a forum with just black and white color. Current websites are usually colorful but this forum looks archaic. But the more you navigate the platform and understand how it is arranged, you will discover that it is one of the best websites. As newbies keep visiting and reading they would gradually identify areas of interest and focus on them. So I will encourage OP to keep visiting and learning about Bitcoin and the forum. Anybody who navigates around the forum and doesn't learn anything has no interest in learning about Bitcoin because there are topics that will interest you.

Op learning and ranking up are both dynamic. No one here is forced to post quality or obey the forum rules. It's all a personal choice or voluntary action. Your friend showing you this forum is a nice thing however the First question you should ask yourself is why did you wanted to join Bitcointalk? I think if you are able to personally answer this you are good to go. Everyone has a reason for doing something and if you check closely those that have a valid and important reason of doing something usually come out best unlike the naive ones.
My point Is the forum doesn't force you or commit you to learning however if you do commit yourself to learning genuinely you find out you will definitely rank up. I have always been an active member ever since I joined the forum though I wasn't actively posting at the beginning since I was trying my best to understand how the forum works as well as learn from every discussion.

You joined the forum and you were only interested in posting, post about what exactly? Your friend is right for not teaching you how to post, the only thing he failed to tell you is that you should concentrate more in reading and learning. Most of us here were not taught by anyone how to post and do certain things, we learnt all we know here by following up topics and asking questions. So, do not make this whole thing about you and how you are learning the hard way. He did a great job by introducing you to the forum, you owe him a sincere appreciation for bringing you here. Concentrate more in learning so you can make quality contributions that will impact the lives of other members in this forum.

This is a true story: after learning about the forum, I went to see a friend for assistance. He helped me set up an account and then, when I tried to ask him for help posting, he refused and told me that since we are not close, I would have to learn how to post on the forum on my own. I found it difficult to ask him questions about how the forum operated, and after several months, his number was unreachable. Finally, one Sunday after church, we got together, and I took it upon myself to ask him for advice on the platform, all he could say was to post on the beginners' forum if you needed any help. Since then, I have been posting, watching, and learning from the community, but I still want to say that even though I'm learning the hard way, it has given me a lot more confidence that I can succeed on my own with perseverance and hard work.
posting on the forum isn't a really difficult thing if you relay try to put your mind to it as you don't relay need a special skill to be able to post on the forum all you need is the ability to be bale to read an write and know how well to use your device to navigate the forum well enough and if there's anything you relay need then you should then go ahead to check the beginners and help board and see guides and other post that will help you as a beginner to be able to properly get to navigate the forum well enough and then you wouldn't necessarily need to be assisted to be able to properly navigate the forum well enough.

Another advice I think you are definitely goin to need well enough is in the quality of your post and you can only get to achieve it if only you ae able to put your mind to studying first after which you can be able to get the proper knowledge to be able to make really quality post on the forum, that way you get to experience progressive growth on the forum and be bale to get used to a better way to explore the forum and even become better at it with little or no guide.

You may feel betrayed but this is the best approach to learning, do it yourself. Fail, make mistakes and learn from them. You stagnated your own learning process because you were waiting for a friend to mentor you when in fact you needed was right here on the forum. The most important question you should ask yourself is why are you here. Is it to learn about bitcoin? If it is, you should not wait until your friend’s approval before doing what you want. It’s been two years since you registered this account, have you bought bitcoin since then or are you also waiting for your friend?

If you look carefully at people's profiles, you will most likely understand that there are a lot of people on the forum who came to the forum themselves, learned about the rules themselves, and made a name for themselves.
So what unusual things are you telling us today? You are not alone in your endeavors. Maybe we should pat you on the shoulder and call you a “smart boy”? You should be more humble in your successes and more determined in seeking knowledge and then teaching more people like you. If you don’t like your friend’s behavior, then be different, gain knowledge, teach, and help without betraying them.

I think most new members face problems like yours if they don't have many close acquaintances to advise. But there is peace of mind in being able to know and learn about a subject through hard work. What you try to achieve on your own can have many benefits in the future. Expand your own intuition to prove your talent with perseverance and courage.

Well, you are navigating around the forum dose not mean you are learning something new; it can be something new but seeing that this is a public and general forum, everyone can post and discuss here without learning anything about the forum since if they can read and write they can understand how the forum operates.

Since then, I have been posting, watching, and learning from the community, but I still want to say that even though I'm learning the hard way, it has given me a lot more confidence that I can succeed on my own with perseverance and hard work.

You don't have to expect much from people to avoid disappointment. Sometimes it is better to learn alone without mentorship. It will make you study and discover things by yourself which is far better. Many people came to the forum by themselves, nobody guided them and they had to learn and excel alone. I encourage you to keep learning and in no time you will become well grounded.

OP, it's been a while since you opened the account, the first thing you need to do is become a forum regular. The important thing is that if you are in the habit of reading where the senior members of the forum are discussing what topics, and what threads they are writing, then I don't think you will have any problem with posting. If you go from being active in the forum for 2-1 days and then come to the forum after a month or two then everything will become difficult for you, then it will feel like I am learning the hard way. I say be regular, give it enough time, the more time you give the more you will learn and the later it will seem very simple.

The original poster needs to be more regular for him to master the activities of the forum. But I understand what OP is talking about. He thinks that he should have had the privilege of mentorship under the person who introduced him to the forum. And I think the person who introduced him to the forum should have guided him for some time before allowing him to move on. Some persons might not be too sharp to understand how the forum works and mentorship will aid fast learning. The person who introduced me to the forum assisted me for a few days before I began to engage in personal research.

For someone to have helped you set up an account, then it shouldn't be a difficult task in helping you through on how you could make the required standard on quality posts needed on the forum, moreover since you're still a newbie, it may require of you to go on learning first before making post in other to avoid making mistakes, except if you wish he make those post for you which i believe he will definitely turn the offer.

I found it difficult to ask him questions about how the forum operated, and after several months, his number was unreachable.

As long as you have found your way to this forum and can read, then take your time in learning on the boards and read more often, you will by yourself discover on some things here without being told.

<...> even though I'm learning the hard way...

So, your friend throws you to the wolves on this forum? Great buddy.  Grin

OK. So you figured it out on your own, good for you.  But honestly, what's so special about it to figure out?  This is just an online forum. These things have been around forever, probably way before you were even born.  And people weren't struggling with it back in the BBS days, half a century ago.  Come on.

Learning how to post in the forum is not hard but the thing is that we have to understand that forum education is quite different from the knowledge we acquired from other people outside forum, because when looking at it very well you will see that most of the reputable forum members their thread is informative and reading their post always will make you to understand more.

So Learning in the forum is something of time and seriousness, nobody who has taken forum serious that fails to understand the procedures of forum, as a beginner what you have to do is to engage in reading different articles made by other user and make a research before you post, because this forum you have to be innovative before you can come out with something tangible to read.

It's not going to be nice but I think you really bored him to death with your questions, it's just a forum not quantum physics , (since somebody else took rocket science) , you don't have to write essays from the first posts and there is nobody judging you on every single word you write, or at least nobody judge me so much I would care. I might be different but I'm surprised why so many are so focused so much about the inner forum life, it's a discussion board not second life! Am I the weird one or am I missing something important?

I can't say it's hard at all. You must study to gain knowledge. I can't find it difficult to gain knowledge from this forum. If you don't study it will be difficult for you to learn anything. I wouldn't be wrong to call you lazy. If you had studied regularly from this forum instead of taking help from your friend after neglecting him, you would have gained knowledge about Bitcoin more easily. I am very surprised to see that you have registered in this forum long ago and have low knowledge about this forum. I won't say I've learned everything, I'm not very old here. But I am trying to broaden my knowledge by studying from sites made for beginners. Hope you stop laziness and study and be able to gain knowledge

Op, to you I will say your friend did the best for you, he didn't want you to depend on him rather he showed you how you can help yourself which every good friend would do. Learning takes determination, when you set your mind to learn something you won't see it as hard instead as being enjoyable.
Reading and understand is the best to do and then asking questions that disturbs you here in the forum to get helped by seniors.

When you find it difficult to be creative with limited knowledge, courage will give you more freedom in making decisions. After you have registered on the forum and are having trouble finding ideas for making your first post, you must first study and read the topics pinned on several boards to look for information that can help you determine the right board to create a new topic. I'm a little curious about the true story you tell here, your account has been registered since March 21 2021, you should tell me about your difficulties since then when your friend gave you the suggestion to make a post on the B&H Board.

Why most newbies are seeing the forum as something difficult, the forum is a place of discussion, where ideas can be shared not just Bitcoin discussion alone which is the main reason of the forum but in many other areas. Their is nothing difficult and you do not require a friend to help you post unless you are not ready to learn new new ideas and totally against the forum rules. Your account here on the forum should be personal and should not be accompanied by a second or third party.

You (not just you though, I noticed many newbies presenting it that way) are talking like using a discussion forum is some sort of a rocket science, something very complicated. I mean, all that you need in order to use is to be able to read and write and that's basically it.

To be honest, it's not as easy as you make it sound if the person has absolutely no experience with forums such as this. The ability to read and write doesn't make a person understand everything they are seeing, they can't find specific sections and where they need to make their posts, they find it hard to understand the rules, and are always afraid of getting banned or blocked, etc.

I know one can learn all these things if they spend some time experimenting with everything, I have learned everything myself after joining the forum, never had someone guiding me through, I did have some difficulties initially but since I was an internet freak, I figured out everything way earlier than a normal person would do.
Bitcointalk is quite different from what many are used to and I would understand if this was maybe the first or second post made by the OP but look at his post history, he’s made a lot of posts in B&H, gambling board, and Politics & society. Someone with this much activity on their profile should have understood how the forum works by now.

but I still want to say that even though I'm learning the hard way, it has given me a lot more confidence that I can succeed on my own with perseverance and hard work.
We are came from starters and I understand your friend don't want to spoonfeed you so that you can learn on your own. Learning that way is quite hard if you don't know where to start but your friend has given you the path and direction of where to start. And as you initiate, that really helped your way out of it and learned the process. Good job if you've gained your confidence because that's what you have lacked of from the beginning when your friend has directed you what to do. We're all continually learning here so, I wish you the success not just from learning but actually why everyone is on this community and market, and that's about our investments in the crypto market most especially by holding Bitcoin.

I wouldn’t call this learning the hard way. What’s really hard in reading the guides in Beginners & help? You’re here to improve your knowledge of bitcoin, studying is the only way to achieve that. I believe this is how most of us learnt to use the forum, we didn’t have someone spoon feeding us. I suggest you remove that thought from your mind. Your account was registered months before mine but you have been inconsistent in the forum hence the merit/rank gap between us.

I wasn't informed about the forum in the same way, and it took me some time to figure out how to use it. I would have been more consistent if I had known that the beginners' and help forum could aid me with my issue. The only thing I was worried about posting would have been having my account disabled.


 if you read the rules and regulations of the forum very well even without your friend telling you on what to do I'm pretty sure you can find your way around the forum, because from there you're going to know the dos and donts of the forum. However I could remember the first time I was introduced in this platform, it was through WhatsApp that I got introduced, I was not familiar with the forum I don't know the dos and donts of the forum so for me to find my way around the forum, what I do is to go through those  rules and regulations that is governing the forum and as well reading threads of high ranked members about how the forum works. that's when i started finding my way around the forum, if you read the rules and regulation of the forum you will see some certain things that you need to avoid, so as to avoid your account been disabled.

Again, I don’t think you made the effort to be part of the community. If you did, you would have read the forum rules and learned that posting frequently cannot result in your account being banned. The only reasons why an account can be banned is if the account committed plagiarism or is evading a ban. Also noticed you started posting in your local board today, I guess you just found that out as well.

I guess for majority of newbies, they really find it hard starting to learn in the forum most especially if their eagerness and interest are not that deep, and they aren’t highly motivated to learn even out of the context. But all throughout of the learning process, you get to become used to it and learn new words and insights every now and then, until you can finally say that learning is not actually hard, as long as you also do your part of going into extra research and studying.

I do you expect us to believe this, when your post history shows you were a frequent poster at the beginners & Help board

Yes agree with you, if OP wants to be active regularly and study he can be as knowledgeable as his friend but it will cost a lot of his time. From what I understand from his post history, he created the account about three years ago but he was not active in the forum regularly and did not study. So OP now thinks knowledge has to be acquired the hard way.

To OP I would say if you want to gain knowledge about forums or currency you need to study more because. There is no option but to study. Because you have already wasted a lot of time, it is not right for you to waste any more time. Harden your mind and mind setup you will learn it.

Op, to be frank I saw your topic title as weird, I don't know how anyone can acquire knowledge the hard way especially when you are referring to this forum because knowledge here is free and open for everyone even non-members of this forum. What I can see is your problem is from the fact that you don't learn yourself but wants your friend to teach you whereas he already introduced you to where you can get the knowledge yourself, actually I hope you understand now that with your past mentallity you have totally limits yourself to almost nothing when you could have just be learning for years and become knowledgeable like your friend or even more than.
