Topic: My story and new about this forum (Read 368 times)

Welcome on Bitcointalk forum.
Important thing to remember is to NEVER post copy/paste text from other sources without posting original source link.
People get banned easy because of plagiarism.

Yes. This forum is opened to everyone, worldwide.
Thanks for organizing and educating people about Bitcoin. You are in the right forum and you can learn more about bitcoin and altcoins. Feel free to join discussion and create more interesting topics.
Stay Safe and becareful about large gathering during this period.

Good to know that as a Newbie you are recommending other newbies to join the forum to learn about Bitcoins. Keep up the good work and try to increase your knowledge from here. Also, contribute to this forum and encourage users to know about Bitcoins and other bitcoin related stuff. Welcome to the forum and all the best for your journey!!

Your actions aimed at spreading information about Bitcoin among Malaysians deserve respect. Few people are able to gather a live audience and educate people. Keep it up and good luck to you!

Despairo, I don't know the complete history but I believe the forum evolved over time from being a discussion forum only. If you have the goods and the services other forum users may need, you can post it at the marketplace https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=5.0

You know, it'd be funny if those circles were replaced by Bitcoin logos


By the way, welcome aboard. Feel free to promote it since there are lots of potentials here.

Just a heads up, posting in the forum just to earn money is generally frowned upon.

To answer your question, cryptomaniac_xxx was likely referring to stuff like Signature Campaigns and bounties, which can be found in the Services section. In a nutshell, some service providers will offer you a certain amount for posting with a signature advertising them active on your profile. There are also plenty of people who sell goods and services for Bitcoin.

But yeah, campaigns/bounties are supposed to add incentive to your participation to the community, not the other way around. Spammers are typically blacklisted from joining or even outright banned from the forum, so do keep that in mind.

Wow great job buddy, you're awesome.
Ah... I really didn't know if we can earn money in this forum, I thought it's only a community who discuss about cryptocurrency especially bitcoin, how can this forum is to earn money?

Definitely, you can tell your friends about how great this community is. I have been lurking here, and decided to create an account to warn people specially about youtube scammers, Do not fall for this Fake Coinbase Scam in Youtube right now. I would agree that this is the best bitcoin forum, after all it was build by Satoshi himself. However, like the rest of the newbies you join this community, a lot of them are really looking to make money out of it through bounty campaign. It's not that bad, however, your first intention is to really learn from this community by reading a lot of posts specially those who have been in this cryptospace for many years. Best of luck in your journey here!!!

Thank you DdmrDdmr for the fast response  

Oh yeah, you're right... looks the thread is quiet and dead, There are no one discuss about the bitcoin and only promoting their ICO. I hope I can make the thread is better than now

No i'm not, I will merit people who deserve to get merit only. I'm not want my journey just  ended only by cheat and abusing forum rules, my own goals is far... and I hope I can reach it

Edit :

Thank you also @Coyster

I will try to explain this forum rules and guide first to them before joining this forum.

Not in any way is your post wrong, actually it's one of the best newbie debut post I have seen, newbies mostly ask on how to earn merits and rank up, make money etc from the go; but your first post has covered more important aspects than that and even contains "guides" and "help" to other users.

You can introduce the forum to as many people as possible, but the way you do it is also important, so if they decide to join due to your recommendation they would not start off like the "typical" newbie, but will understand what the forum is all about.

There is no Malaysian local board, but rather a thread instead, since it does not have enough activity to constitute a local board per se: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=85430.1480

Those are the main forum rules, although some boards (and even threads) may have some specific additional rules. You’ll need to check the stickies of the boards you visit just in case.

As you wish. Just bear in mind that, even if you are friends, you should also pay attention to some not written forum rules that point to being ethical between friendly accounts, especially in terms of meriting them (i.e. don’t just merit them (when the time comes) because they are your friends, but rather because they deserve it).

Good day everyone,

First, I'm new about this forum, but I not new about bitcoins. I'm bitcoin enthusiast who live in Malaysia.
My knowledge about bitcoin is not very well, but at least I know what is bitcoin, how bitcoin work and many basic things about bitcoin.

On 2 months ago, I create a mini seminar with my friend to share and educating about bitcoin. I'm really not expected there are so many people in my country is interested about bitcoin. I'm so nervous since it's my first seminars and I'm not too good about public speaking.

For the beginner or newbie who want to learn about bitcoin, I'm recommending to watch a video animation like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4g1XFU8Gto . After you understand, you can try reading this websites https://www.bitdegree.org/tutorials/how-does-bitcoin-work/ and bitcoin whitepaper https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

I really advice to learn about security and avoid from scammer first. In digital there are so many phishing websites, fake wallet, high return invesment, ponzi and pyramid scheme want to scam us. Because there are so many people scammed from that's kind scam. You can read many scams in bitcoin here https://bitcoin.org/en/scams#pump-and-dumps

This is the picture in my mini seminars https://ibb.co/Rh2H3Bc
Sorry I edit it because I don't want to expose their face to public

That's all about my story, and I want to ask about this forum

1. Does this forum have Malaysia local board? Like Arabic, Bahasa Indonesia, Spanish, etc. Because I haven't seen any Malaysia local board here and I want to contribute knowledge to my local and this forum
2. What's all rules in this forum? Do all the rules in this post? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/unofficial-list-of-official-bitcointalkorg-rules-guidelines-faq-703657
3. Can I promote this forum to my friends and many bitcoin enthusiasts to join this forum? Because this forum is the best bitcoin forum who I ever saw

I hope my post is not wrong. Thank you for the response
