Hello all,

I've known about crypto for awhile but been mostly invested in ETH and more recently Monero.

In the near future i'd like to buy some BTC with some of my PayPal savings and I've seen that some people are willing to sell in here.

I know that as a new member people probably won't trust me, so do you have any advice how to make more "trustworthy" in this forum?

Happy to be here and learn something more!

Cheers.

First, you don't need to be trustworthy on this forum to buy bitcoin, to own and hodl bitcoin. Just jump i and do it! Or wait for then next big correction, like we saw yesterday.

Second, the trust ratings here are often abused. People use them as a punishment when others don't say or do something they expect, even when "trust" has nothing to do with it. Example: I once offered escrow services on the forum, I've never done it before. But I know how to do it and was willing to do it for free so that I could earn a history of doing it successfully, I wanted to earn trust among this community performing that service. Well, people who already offer escrow services here started to give me negative trust claiming that I was untrsutworthy because I was offering services without having a history of doing it on the forum. That's some of the dumbest cause>effect logic I've ever experienced.

People use trust as a weapon, so be careful where you go. The general rule is to never ask for a trust rating. Engage in transactions for people and if you do them well they might leave you positive trust.

Thanks for sharing this mate,
I hope don't experience something like that and i have actually seen some cases of negative trust with no reason, this is terrible and shows how unethical people can be. Embarrassed

To own/buy Bitcoin you don't need the trust of any of the forum members, you just buy it as much as you can. This forum will help you learn all the happenings in crypto currencies. My advise is not to buy bitcoin right away, wait for the first quarter of 2018 most probably you will be able to buy more coins than today.

As a newbie account, its very normal that no one can trust you, i suggest you to rank up your account first for atleast full member rank so any one can take you a shot to trust you, maybe a very little trust, and about that trustworthy youve looking for, trust cannot gain as easy as you think, because all reputated members here that has green tag are the members who spend a lot of time and effort to gain that green tag (green trust) and indicates that they are of one of the most trusted btt forum member.

I wouldn't go Paypal way. Create a coinbase account and transfer money from your credit card/bank account to coinbase.

Now you can buy BTC and you don't need to use a 3rd party that might scam you.
