Topic: Make reading a habit - page 4. (Read 1425 times)

Different people have different preferences when it comes to learning. Some will understand things more clearly when they read about them, but others might understand better if they watch visuals of the things being explained in either pictures or videos.

There is no doubt that this forum is the epitome of knowledge about Bitcoin and the whole cryptocurrency industry but only if one knows its worth. A lot of people don't realize how useful and informative this forum is, they consider it a place where one can earn money while that is just a secondary thing that should be considered a bonus for people that have gained enough knowledge to be able to actively engage with the community.

Some might find the forum boring because there aren't a lot of visuals but only texts, but someone like me who has always been fond of knowledge would never get bored surfing the forum for as long as possible.

In my personal opinion I think that if a person make a good skill or to be successful then, Then it is obvious to have reading and questioning ability. I add one more thing here because we don't know everything that we can understood everything by only reading. So I think it is awesome necessary to have the ability of questioning. Like when you are going for reading the forum and in the same time when you don't understand it subject then make a question on this or create a topic.

We're getting more and more used to other kind of channels of communication to "learn"(?): first with youtube videos, then also podcasts, and now even TikToks (can we learn anything in a few seconds, though? I doubt it).

On the other hand, we still have books, wikipedia, and forums like this one. All text. Less and less people read these days, and it is good to remember what the OP said in the title, a Senior member told him: the more you read and lear, the more you'll want to read and keep learning. One of the best piece of advice for newbies.

Reading is the main resources learning Bitcoin and its technology. I hope Some people may prefer alternative methods of learning such as various social media videos, podcasts or hands-on experiences.Those who are not inclined to read extensively, they can still learn about Bitcoin and its technology through various other means.Reading  Bitcoin-talk forums can be valuable, actively participating in discussions can also enhance learning. Asking questions, sharing experiences, and engaging with the community can provide valuable insights and perspectives.In my experience at first I have heard about Cryptocurrency one of the TV news. Since I am tried to know about cryptocurrency. And at-last I am writing in the forum.

I get it perfectly well but @Games.Bitcoin made it look as if you need to read things in the Forum just to rank up, all I'm saying is that you read and get the knowledge which you do not have but getting things attached to it seems like your major priority is mainly to get to the highest rank like the said legendary or he might be saying you have to read and become a legend in reading that I'd agree but if not no way.
If your research is informative and it helps members in the Forum and not only legendary, it will be appreciated no matter what, either by the reply or through giving out of merit like you said and it doesn't have to be by legendary members, newbies can also share merit to something that interest him or her and if a newbie do appreciate a post by sharing merit does it make the newbies a legendary? No, is just something that every member do but it shouldn't be like you read to be like legendary like you previously said.

By design, the forum is for readers and without good reading habit, it is very difficult to survive here. The learning processes and resources are in mostly written form so it requires a reader to be able to make good use of them. One of the good thing that is happening to me for being here is a fast improvement in my reading habit. I am more patient to read even long texts now unlike I was before. I doubt there is any forum user that will be able to make progress in this forum without sound reading habit, there is no way to contribute to a discussion without being able to read and understand what others are posting.

Well, since you are in a forum, you are expected to read your other members opinions and ideas so that you can also give your own and participate in the discussion. It’s impossible not to read and comprehend in the first place, because you will not understand either the topic or thread being discussed about. Now, even if your aim is just to listen to them and won’t care replying, still you have to read and understand what you have read, knowing the fact that your goal is to learn from them, not only on their opinions and ideas, but most likely on the experiences they share in the forum.

Op I don't think there is any senior that can stay a day without logging in the forum because many belong to one or two campaign that is paying them.
The essence of reading is understanding!  As a newbie it is difficult to understand most thread that is why you find it difficult to contribute because you can not contribute to what you do not understand, what I do to help me is by reading  
several replies before you can understand what the thread is taking about. Moreso I use my dictionary and Google to search for what ever I don't understand inorder for me to have a better meaning of the thread

Making reading an habit is essential for the mind.it help to expand your knowledge,and gives you a sound mind.also keeps you informed.

Reading enhances your knowledge and increases your imagination and creativity, which means if you fail to do it, your brain might function less and become stagnant. That’s why a lot of successful people here continue to make reading as a habit because they benefited on it as well. Most particularly if you are in the forum, if you don’t read, you will gain nothing essential to share but low content and low quality post.

However, don’t just read but care to understand on what you read. Successful people do read between the lines, they find meanings and develop new discovery out of their constant reading.

This Bitcoin talk platform is a learning skill programmed on a reading and writing analysis to acquiring of knowledges.
You would have no choice than writing and reading in other to o communicate with others as long this forum is concerned. There could be other means one can learn in life such as sounds and signs methodologies but here is specifically on write ups which has optimized most of us here in the forum.
The reading and writing level of requirements as a means to teaching and learning through in this platforms has been of great indicted skills to all of us that indeed, we have made delightful hobby out of written words.

There are two things you have to get used to, firstly reading before writing and secondly reading so that your knowledge becomes better. Reading before writing is a recommended behavior so that you do not write something that is not relevant to the topic of discussion, then reading various things from other users will increase your knowledge.

There are users who are willing to spend a lot of time browsing the posting history of other users to get better insights, especially if the user being role models is a knowledgeable or expert user. For example; You can read many things from o_e_l_e_o's post history so that you know many things about privacy. Of course habits like this can encourage you to become a more knowledgeable user compared to other users who are lazy.

Because after all, discussions and sharing of information in this forum are expressed in writing. So, whatever that is, we have to get used to reading activities. Because by reading we can get more information in this forum.
Whether reading is a habit or not, what is certain is that in this forum, reading is a necessity. So if it's like this, isn't reading something that must be done in this forum? In order to obtain various important information and various other information in order to increase our knowledge and also keep us up-to-date with the various information shared on this forum.

Reading must be done by everyone here, not only newbies but everyone here. Because every time, there will be new discussion and information that we may consider them as importance. Although we may not have enough more times to spend to read all information. But at least, we can do it regularly with our times that we have here.

I don't believe anyone can communicate in the forum unless they read and understand what is expressed before getting an answer to the topic of discussion. It varies how people react and understand certain things in the forum, but without reading, you cannot communicate here, no matter how knowledgeable you are about the subject at hand. Some user’s ability to understand certain topics and respond quickly differs from others. What matters is that you provide a comprehensive response to the topic under discussion, not how long it took you to understand and provide that response.

You can't really go far in the space if you don't read. There are so many information here and how do you improve your knowledge if you don't read. Readers will always lead in this space and will be ahead.

Yes, reading and understanding is actually the best way to become an expert in this forum, because even in school, the only way to pass an exam or pass any other task is to understand everything. That's how this forum functions; once you understand everything here, you won't require as much help. There are some threads that, upon reading them, discuss the forum, how to use it and how it functions. There are too many challenges which everyone here passed through it.

As Newbie you must exercise patience, even with those who appear to be highly ranked today. They also began this forum at the same level as you, and they didn't find it tough since they had the mindset that they would succeed. For them, everything is easier now.

One thing about this forum is that once you get hooked on it, you won't want to stop participating; you'll want to be involved all the time because participating in the forum offers benefits and is also beneficial. You might discover some helpful information by looking through the older threads. And once you have that, nothing will seem so hard to you, everything will be simpler even even without instruction.

I can not argue with your last submission because that is the major reason newbies are finding it difficult to navigate through the forum or probably contribute to forum with quality and informative contents. When you take your time to read and comprehend, you don't need much guidance again before you succeed here. Readers are good writers. We have writers here who are not good readers and you can see it from their posts. When someone makes a long post with so many errors, it is a sign of bad reader because being a good reader will definitely prevents obvious errors in your posts. There's no way to make a meaningful contribution without having read and comprehend the main content.


I think Op has a point when he says some newbies lack the ability to read and comprehend because coming across some newbies posts or attitudes in the forum, one would think and wonder if they read at all talk more of comprehending. Take a look for a example how they use to create similar threads seeking for same information while Forum already recommend search button so as to not spam the forum with irrelevant threads. On one aspect or the other, they have been breaking the rules on a regular basis. If truly they do read and comprehend, all these would be avoided.

How are you supposed to write about something if you couldn't understand it? Keep in mind that understanding is also known as comprehension. In light of this, what else do you believe everyone is doing here, if not reading and understanding the writer's point of view? Nevertheless, I believe the forum is full of reading and comprehension since even in all the posts you have been responding to on the form since the day you registered, you cannot say anything significant there without understanding what the original writer is all about.


Games.Bitcoin is saying the right thing. I think you are the one misunderstanding what he is trying to say because on the forum someone must be able to share the knowledge he has in the forum before ranking, and you cannot do that without reading other people's posts, so before you reply and make your own comment, you must be knowledgeable about what you are to say, so someone must read before doing that, so if you want to become more successful on the forum, you need to read.

or did people share their knowledge with us today on the forum wakeup with it? No, they also read before they know what they are sharing with us, and with the knowledge they have been giving us, we are appreciating it by sending some merits, which is what makes most of them legendary members. Now, I think that is what Games.itcoin is trying to say

I know that is not easy for the forum especially ranking up to senior member or any other high rank position you must to advocate your time in bitcoin talk for you to be able to achieve any position in the forum, a normal circumstances you have to read and understand before you can be able to make a reasonable comment or post but a process whereby you are creating a personal topic you have to make a research also read very well before you can make a tangible post.

Most important thing for is research, when you make a proper research concerning forum you will come up with an innovative topic, that means you engage yourself to in the activities of the forum and you are also a contributor of the forum

Is like you're saying members should start reading to become legendary member, that's not how is suppose to be. You know some people can read because they have to not because they love to and some can read for the love of it and they do pick out informative things in what they're reading, and it gets more interesting.
I even think some people just explore the Forum to read post and threads to kill depression or to forget something that's bothering them (I know we have people like that on the Forum), this Forum has changed the mindset of many in different ways, I mean positively. So for you to say someone has to read and learn to become a legendary member in the future then the aim of reading and learning doesn't march at all.
