Topic: Newbies are not newbies indeed... - page 2. (Read 1274 times)

Good observation. I had already mined more than 20 btc before I found bitcointalk.

Then it was almost a year before I posted. I didn't want to sign up, partly because I didn't want to be a "newbie". It wasn't until I NEEDED to say something to defend someone else, that I opened an account.

Then after a long time and five stars later I realized that my anonymity could be compromised by posts on bitcointalk. So I walked away. Kinda like what Satoshi probably did.

Then I made a new account and started posting again.

And now this post says too much about myself so I'll probably delete it and start over again! Haha!

But yeah - newbies are not (all) newbies.

A cromulent five-dollar word you got there, Sir Brah. Makes no sense in the context, but otherwise quite embiggening.

Just a quick question... Did you eventually incorporate Bitcoin into any MMORG? ...If the answer is yes, which one? I used to play the text versions of these games and they are

highly addictive, once you get into it. I always wondered where I would have been, if these games were monetized with Bitcoin and how much money I would have had, because

my logged time on one of those were 678 days. There are huge potential for people to monetize these games, even the old text versions like Batmud. Sorry, I went off topic there..

The best newbies are the once that start out at the bottom and work their way up to the top.. Not the account buyers, jumping in at the middle. 

haha true . Even I used to post about faucets and tried to get clicks for some Paid to Promote things, now all of that seems so lame . It was so difficult for me to get btc at that time , I was very happy when i could see i received 20k sats from microwallet .

Agree with you, people usually won't come to Bitcointalk before they truly know what is Bitcoin. I myself spend more than 3 months on faucet before finally I decided to register an account here, it was a funny experience.

Awesome post I can fully identify myself with.
Before I registered here and started posting I was doing lots of research about what Bitcoin is and how it works.
I tried out several wallets, checked out almost every video available on youtube, reading blogs etc.
I guess this is some kind of process many of us went through here.

They are not responsible, they are just part of the problem.

Not necessarily; that's a hasty generalization based on a small amount of evidence.

There's nothing wrong in admitting it. The problem is when people who don't really know their 'stuff' start spreading it to others and then it causes a chain of misinformation.

The information found on the forum is not adequate to become a 'real expert'.

Account sales are responsible for those senior accounts who behave like newbies. 
But I agree with the OP that people have a reluctance to register at new sites. They register only after some browsing and after they become comfortable with it.

I agree. Many of us here, including me, know little about Bitcoin even if we are here long enough to be called "seniors" and such. That's what's good about this forum, you can learn a lot here and become a real expert with time. )

So what are you trying to say here? The people that are marked as 'newbies' are not newbies? If so, then you're wrong. Additionally, there are a lot of users that are 'senior' and/or 'hero' members which I would mark as newbies. Just knowing what Bitcoin is and having a surface understanding of how it works does not make you a 'non-newbie'.

i was like this at first too, it was mostly because it sounded too complicated and the person who first told me about bitcoin described mining as "solving a mathematical formula and getting paid to do it i mean what the F. it was good that i didn't run away screaming!

p.s. you used a big word like recalcitrant that i had to use google for and then say unlegal instead of illegal

Not the way you think.The newbies cannot be associated with how much bitcoins you earn or you have in your wallets.Its about having insights of the technical background of bitcoins or cryptocurrencies in general.If you have sound knowledge of bitcoin core,blockchain,and other concepts you're above average.As long as this forum,you should be aware of the rules and regulations here.Follow them and instead of buying accounts ,let your rank grow with time.

Why exactly you didnt have faith/belief in Bitcoins? I meant, my concerns were:
Do you remember why you were recalcitrant to Bitcoins?

When I was being introduced by my friend about bitcoin, i didnt believe bitcoin at first, after a few explanation and some proof i tried to do faucet, after i was tired using faucet,my friends introduced me to gambling using bitcoin and give me some bitcoin to do trading and gambling after i finished all my coins, my friends introduced me to this forum, so when i was register as newbie, i already has experience with bitcoin so i am not a newbie

Its not always important that someone having an account with newbie rank is a newbie in bitcoin as well.
Maybe someone started using bitcoin before years but wasn't using this forum before and just joined it and he becomes a newbie here.
But mostly now a days, people are straightly coming towards this forum without reading or knowing anything about bitcoin, they just hear from somewhere that there is a forum where you can earn money as bitcoin so they just create an account start with here, so they are the real noobs.

I'm still using a faucet, does that make me a newbie? (obviously, lol). I don't have any other way of getting bitcoins since I don't have considerable talent so I'm just doing faucets.

you can find out if they are pure newbie or not by check their history psot, mostly newbies posted in off topic or games section only to get their activity's point,
anyways i remember when i was newbie, i typed faucet first and it was funny exprienced, i stoped when i realized that i will never be rich if i just stucked on that method, and it's obviously wasting my time but it's very good way to learn about bitcoin

Newbies are not newbies in one another sense also.Most of the newbies account are alt of some established member.They pretend to be newbie and most of the time bump the thread of their main account

Going back with my thoughts when i didnt know anything about cryptos: i was a developer for an online MMORG and one guy came up with the idea to integrate Bitcoins as "inworld" payments system. Well...my "profane" thoughts and feelings were like: "bitcoin is the kingdom of dark, unlegal affairs..." or "seriously you asking me to let my money run over someone else computer?" or again "lol i will never put any of my cents over something that would nightly disappear..." etc etc  
But you know...when you sow the right seed...and make someone know about something...they will never be able to "ignore" what they seen  
Said that, i'm sure you all remember those days when you started to google about bitcoins, to research, ask, wonder...etc etc. I spent a lot of months doing that, even sporadically during my boring/lazy time. Downloaded propably tons of shit, wallets, virus, unfinished works, githubs, tested faucets, lost money, started my own shit-nodes and so on till nowadays and all the activities i actually do with Bitcoin and my life
So no, when i registered my account at bitcointalk...i wasnt exactly a noob: when you "decide" to register an account at bitcointalk you have spent prolly the last weeks of your life trying to get the shit out of your brain about Bitcoin and its alts and you have propably a lot of missing sleep time on your shoulders
So welcome noobs! I'll call you "mate" by now
