1) Readers are Leaders: You can not grow if you don't read.
2) Experience Teaches Better: Learn from the experience of your seniors.
3) Information: You get more information about the task ahead of you when you learn from your seniors.

Summary: Success does not come from hard work alone, without good information as a newbie, you will always find the forum difficult.

I will also add one to the OP list. Which is, listeners are good speakers which produce good write ups and good presentations. But let me say, there is different between reading and understanding. Someone can read but did not understand what is reading for and that is waste reading. Understand is needed in the process of reading. Yes learning from the experience ones are much more better and self struggling to learn. According to a saying, where the elderly  people see the younger ones can't see there even they use stool or go close to the place. And what does that mean, the elderly give vital information.
One thing I have learnt from the wise men is to always learn the good side from people around us and leave the bad aspect.
Everyone has good side and bad side, so because the person is a high member profile does nit mean that we have to copy and learn everything about how the person behave and do things. It is important for us to always learn from a reputable profile do that we can follow that pattern and improve in it. There are some profiles that have green trusts, we need to go through the trust and read from there so that we can understand a bit about the forum and how things works.

3) Information: You get more information about the task ahead of you when you learn from your seniors.

Summary: Success does not come from hard work alone, without good information as a newbie, you will always find the forum difficult.

At some point we once were newbies ourselves (on the forum) and we grew to where we're today because we put into the work and efforts as we wanted to improve ourselves. While doing so we learnt from those ahead of us and our mates that were doing better in regards to getting merited more frequently for their contributions to the forum. You can't grow if you don't learn, you might have knowledge outside the forum and be an expert in whenever field you're working or even be a cryptocurency expert but to succeed here you have to loyal yourself and learn from others. Spend some time reading the forum and you'll understand how here works.

The learning can be done in various ways which might be looking at how other high quality users write and respond to thread and try doing the same until it becomes you way of writing. You can also learn by constantly reading the replies of those you consider to be writing excellently. I remember doing the same when I was a newbie myself, I spent more time reading than actual writing. Newbies of today need to do the same, you learn more when you're reading instead of writing what you have no knowledge about which might just end up making you look like a spammers. Newbies need to learn to create less topics and engage more in discussion on the forum.

The presence of a legendary account does not guarantee that its owner understands trading. The main job of such old men is to fulfill the norm for the number of posts in order to receive a reward in the signature company. And it will be very bad for your wallet if you follow the advice of such a "trader".

Not every newbie are novice in cryptocurrency, majority of newbie have already know what's bitcoin and its adoption before been admitted to forum while some of the newbie don't really have pre knowledge or basic knowledge of bitcoin before registering or knowing the platform, so therefore I will tell you that bitcoin is something you can know through Internet, but in the aspect of forum procedures been avoiding of plagiarism and Paraphrasing and research or making a good content that should be what newbie who knows about bitcoin should learn from senior colleagues.

Some of the members ranks up in that time there's no merit requirements and another thing not higher ranks always gives a good quality of post and not all newbies are just new to the crypto itself, those knowledgeable newbies can easily rank up because of their contributions, but for those totally newbies ideal to better follow prominent members, you can see those base on the number of merits they have. I recommend to the newbies to check the meta or Bpip.org most merited and trusted member so they can get an idea what is the ideal teacher to them.

Visiting Meta section and also Beginners&Help is really important for every new member, in my opinion. Because someone, who just registered on the forum can be really experienced and knowledgeable in crypto and can make good informative contribution to the discussion, but he cannot know the required rules which are represented here on bitcointalk. Thus his posts can be missed in discussions or even deleted by moderators because he can unknowingly violate the rules of the forum, as he is unfamiliar with them.

Obviously Senior Colleagues know better about crypto and have much knowledges but you may have better knowledge if you are a good reader. But if you reply in this forum and make your rank growing then you will learn more and more. So newbies should focus on learning from Senior members.

OP you're well on track with this admonition post of yours. Wherever we find ourselves our development is tied to how much of a knowledge we have acquired and this knowledge can only be acquired by persistent learning and practice. As newbies in the forum we either learn from the past and future posts of senior members of the forum or from our own questions we throw into the forum, and that's why it good and necessary to follow up  our posts we have created carefully going through some of the interesting comments that could be helpful to our growth and knowledge about certain issues.

One mistake that's not only common to newbies alone but with some senior members too is the abandoning of post after posting it. Never coming back to engage in some comments that might need response from you the OP, in that way learning becomes simpler and faster.

Learning from higher rank member is important as a beginner. When I joined the forum I looked for higher ranked member that I learn from them and also be their role model. Learning for higher rank members that are knowledgeable increases the taste of seeking for knowledgeable to grow. Learning from higher rank members is not just about learning from the knowledge they have but it is also Learning to be like them with good reputation.
Success may be hard especially for a beginner to rely on himself. He should seek for reputable mentors or  seniors in the forum that can guide him and even teach him how to grow in the forum and be a reputable member as well that other members will also acknowledge its post. It’s accepting the fact actually that we learn to grow and develop our full potentials once we have some reliable people around that can aid us in achieving our goals.

This forum has many members with different rankings, of course their knowledge and experience are also different from each other. but in this forum, everyone tries to exchange ideas or opinions according to the knowledge and experience that each person has. it's true that a beginner should work harder in learning the crypto world whether it's in theory or experience. not only a beginner, but the people here are also certainly trying to add insight and experience every day so that they can be better in the future. nothing can be obtained instantly, all of that requires a process and also hard work in it so that it can be better in the future.
The good thing about the forum is despite of its members differences in mindset and perspective, everyone tries to contribute based on how they comprehend about the topic or thread. So if you are an open minded member, you will actually gain new insights from them most especially from seniors who have more experiences and exposure than newbies. This forum is designed to create an interactive discussion and everyone is expected to learn and gain new sets of information or new insights to rely.

A profile with a newbie rank on the forum may not necessarily be a newbie to bitcoin and the crypto community. But it’s a good thing some newbies who are really knowledgeable about stuff and knows their onions are distinguished and would easily stand out from the whole lot of newbie profiles on here.
 
Also, I agree with your point on some legendary members being worse off than lower ranking members. Asides all that, I think we could all learn new tits bits of information even from the lowest ranking member who most people would assume are actually newbies and not knowledgeable about certain things.
Those with more knowledge at the novice rank will continue to stand out and prove themselves worthy of respect. There are several members who are still active and rank up easily because of their contributions to the forum. It didn't take long to get merit in appreciation of good comments and feedback.
Those who deserve it will not drown in this forum, they will continue to exist and become active members. For new users who just came in and then disappeared, he wasn't serious about developing himself.

I agree that it is positive for newbies to follow the path of other senior members who have been posting here for several years (or even a decade). This way it is very difficult to fail when others succeeded. But one should never put aside the critical thinking either: there are different types of senior colleagues, and while some of them can be great mentors for sure, there are others that it is better not to learn from them just because they got a high rank for whatever reasons.

Many new members have good potential compared to members with higher ranks. We are here talking about knowledge not about how high their rank is. there are many legendary accounts but only a few have good potential and can truly be role models. New members can even have a mindset that can build this forum, can interact in all ways and even contribute well. Members like that deserve to be appreciated.

Even though i agree with the OP, I would also add that it is worth learning not only from senior members, but also from the highly merited members. These could be lower rank users, but they show a lot of potential and could be more contributive, than some of the heroes or legendaries, because their contribution is more appreciated by the community and they get merit faster and more frequently. I often look for the most merited members and also for the most merited recent posts and I can find a lot of interesting and useful for myself from this search.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. The forum has users with initial ranks who write very good posts and contribute. And their efforts are evaluated by quite a large number of merits. Sometimes they do not even have enough activity to move to the next level, however the number of merits already allows it. While we can also see Hero or Legendary rank users who not only have not had a single merit in 120 days, more to say they have very few "earned" merits over the entire existence of the merit system, there are only those which have been given by default for their rank at that time. And thus, these heroes and legendaries have such a rank only because they have gained activity for themselves before the implementation of merits. And their usefulness for the forum and the quality of the posts remain a big question.

By the way, just because one’s profile is a newbie rank may not automatically mean that the person behind the account has no clue about cryptocurrencies and vice versa. While learning to read more than one can reply is very important.
Being a newbie does not justify your abilities and capabilities. Especially when you have related experiences from your endeavors before. However, it’s best to still adhere and trust seniors that they will be significant in your growth and development in the crypto market. Know that they have been here at first so they know already how to deal with the market more than you know it for yourself.

I admire higher ranking members but I also respect low ranking accounts, at any given moment a low ranked member is no worse off than a higher ranked member. There are lots of newcomers who already have a lot of knowledge before joining the forum, they can grow so quickly with the knowledge they already have. The fact that I found many newbie accounts that have succeeded in becoming Legendary, while those that have been on the forum for a long time are still holding the rank of Sr. members.

It cannot be measured globally, all low rank accounts are the same, those who know forums from friends may be motivated to make money, when promotion to the next rank is difficult due to difficulty getting merit, they will leave the forum or choose to be at a safe point in the newbie rank by participating on social media campaigns. Whereas Newbies who are equipped with knowledge about Cryptocurrency before joining the forum have different motivations, their goal of joining here is to increase their knowledge about bitcoin. This type of newbie has two advantages after joining the forum, besides being able to add insight, they can also collect money in the forum.
Online forum dynamics frequently challenge established hierarchies and assumptions. While appreciation for higher ranking users may come naturally it is crucial to acknowledge and value the achievements of lower ranking accounts as well. A lower ranked member is not always in a worse situation than their higher ranked counterpart. In fact newbies who arrive with prior knowledge can advance quickly and succeed in the forum in a stunning way. It is interesting to see how many new accounts have grown above their original position to become legendary while other seasoned participants continue to hold the Senior rank. Given that all low ranked accounts are on an equal basis this global measure eludes us. People who learn about forums from friends could get inspired by financial goals. Some people may decide to leave the forum or stay safely within the novice rank participating only in social media campaigns when moving up to the next rank becomes difficult owing to a lack of available merit. On the other hand newcomers who join the forum with prior bitcoin expertise have different goal. Their main objective is to improve their knowledge about Bitcoin. They get new perspectives while also taking advantage of the forum financial potential.

It is true what you have said. I would say roughly over 70% of newbies who sign up on this forum are actually newbies to
Bitcoin and cryptocurrency while the remaining 30% already have some sort of knowledge about bitcoin and cryptocurrency. If you doubt that, you check the development and technical board. However, to be a good poster it is paramount that every user must study the post patterns of senior members to get an idea of what is accepted posting pattern and what is not after reading the rules and guidelines.

Learning from higher rank members is not just about learning from the knowledge they have but it is also Learning to be like them with good reputation.

When you look only at the rank of a user on a forum when learning something, you risk making a lot of mistakes. The topic of bitcoin is so multifaceted that experts on a variety of issues gather here. Someone may have a high rank, and be a good specialist in their field, but they may also answer incorrectly on another question. It's important to try to figure it out for yourself. And sometimes it may turn out that one of the forum newcomers will be an expert in some issue. Not having a high rank on a forum is not the same as not knowing anything. Therefore, it is important, having received advice on the forum, anyway, then independently figure out what was discussed.

2) Experience Teaches Better: Learn from the experience of your seniors.
3) Information: You get more information about the task ahead of you when you learn from your seniors.

When you learn only from other people's words and experience, you can misunderstand everything. And it's good when they can point out a mistake to you. So, having expressed one opinion on the forum, and having received several answers that my opinion is erroneous, I was able to reconsider my view on that issue. If I had only read, I would still be mistaken. It is important not only to study something that others have done, but also to do it yourself, and learn from your mistakes too.

Yes, it is true that not all users of a profile are beginners.
Some people at higher ranks have more cryptocurrency experience than others, but only because of the ranking.
   Some are novices but have more knowledge about cryptocurrency. Additionally, the forum has other interesting topics besides technical talks.
    In a nutshell, we ought to endeavor to absorb wisdom from our leaders. Readers are leaders, and hard effort is the foundation of all achievement.

When I started the forum I was really scared, because I believe if I can ask any question or make any comments, people will blast me, I was confused because I was having different questions wanted to ask, so later was following from high rank people in d forum, I was checking their posts and comments which really helped me because have been able to learn something.

Following their steps is a good way of learning also. One still need to ask senior colleagues questions because their somethings that needs proper explanation from different people.  Making research online to get answers to the question may take longer time to understand it.

The senior members already have experience, if you don't have experience I don't think you will be able to rank up and also I believe it's easier to learn when you hear different peoples opinion, different people coming up with different idea.

Because from reading, we can know more, moreover continued by understanding what we read, this will really lead us to have more and more knowledge. More reading, more things that we can open to know more and want more reading again.

2) Experience Teaches Better: Learn from the experience of your seniors.

Most newbies today seem to be knowledgeable already compared in the past. They have heard already about crypto so they come to research about it before going in the forum. This is the reason why most of the newbies rank are not really literal newbies when it comes to their own ideas. However, if you come in the forum as definitely a newbie with lack of knowledge and experience, then you have to follow the path of your senior colleagues as you can learn from them easily than to follow your own path.

To be relevant any where have a background knowledge alone is not always enough.

• Understanding
• Research
• Reading
• Correction

So learning from the forum, is same thing of learning from already existing thread from the seniors users over here, the ability for newbies to excel, is to adopt the strategic point above.

Most of the newbies are less knowledgeable because they don't have enough experiences in crypto. This is the reason why mentoring will certainly work on them and they should be following the paths of those senior colleagues that have become successful now in the field of crypto. However, following those certain strategies above will determine the growth of newbies, and with learning from the forum from high quality posters, newbies will become more confident and competitive in the long run.

In short of saying high ranks member or a successful members here in forum are a good example to our newbies, even me if someone who celebrate their success My confident will be boost and make it an a motivation and a example that I will do that too and reach that kind of achievement. If a user who will new in the world of crypto they need to be motivate and they need a good example.

Yes newbies should adapt the habit of learning from high rank members of the forum but only some of them not all as there are some high rank members of the forum who doesn't know anything useful and will not help you lot.So try to search for good threads and learn from them as much you can

Ranks are not determining factor of your knowledge but if you have knowledge then only you can rank up.If you want then you could learn about Bitcoin and crypto market to write good posts and easily grow on the forum but some already have knowledge and then go up easily.

Like every other human endeavor requires mentorship and guidance so is this forum meant to shape your Bitcoin knowledge.

Newbies know This
1) Readers are Leaders: You can not grow if you don't read.
2) Experience Teaches Better: Learn from the experience of your seniors.
3) Information: You get more information about the task ahead of you when you learn from your seniors.

Summary: Success does not come from hard work alone, without good information as a newbie, you will always find the forum difficult.

This is very important as no newbie will succeed alone, there is always a mentor behind his success. And if not, he must be following some golden rules from a certain crypto influencer that he ideal the most. And there is no wrong with that. Newbies mostly succeed if they based their plans and actions on the people that are ahead of them and have bigger experiences than them. As they always say, newbies are still starting to conquer the road, while legends have been going there back and forth.

By the way, just because one’s profile is a newbie rank may not automatically mean that the person behind the account has no clue about cryptocurrencies and vice versa. While learning to read more than one can reply is very important.
You are right mate. Some newbies are seen more knowledgeable and have given more brilliant ideas than some of the senior members. But in most cases, newbies that have less prior knowledge and experience, should always take the courage to follow the path of those who are ahead of them because its more proven here that once you have stay longer in this market, you have more proven experiences that could help those newbies who are still starting to explore in this market.

This forum has many members with different rankings, of course their knowledge and experience are also different from each other. but in this forum, everyone tries to exchange ideas or opinions according to the knowledge and experience that each person has. it's true that a beginner should work harder in learning the crypto world whether it's in theory or experience. not only a beginner, but the people here are also certainly trying to add insight and experience every day so that they can be better in the future. nothing can be obtained instantly, all of that requires a process and also hard work in it so that it can be better in the future.

Yes, a newbie must observe how an experienced trader works their trades but it does not mean they have more knowledge. Expert traders come with experience but newbies do have an idea and are open to making changes. While every trader has a different approach depending on their goals, it is important to be consistent in trading and upgrading knowledge.

I know of people who are very knowledgeable in cryptocurrency and are making it real big in it but they are not on this forum, meaning if they should sign up today, they would be newbie, and that does not mean that they are amateur in cryptocurrency, rank or amount of merits shouldn't  be a yard stick for knowledge!

You are right not all newbies  in the forum are newbies in knowledge.  Some newbies are experienced before they became a member here on the forum they already belong to somewhere. Ranking does not mean who have knowledge more or else.

The issue of mentorship can never be over emphasized, because even outside this forum we learn from others, so it will be a good thing to learn from senior members here.

But on the other hand there are some newbies who have vast knowledge on Cryptocurrency before coming to this forum and it's not a bad idea to learn from such newbies.

Very accurate, as a blockchain development agency we are a newbie here, but we are more than 4 years in the market and have huge experience in the field, and have successfully developed many DeFi projects. Here is also our website to check.

There could be a certain internet user out there that knows more about Bitcoin more than us. Rank here does not pertain the knowledge of a certain user. I had seen quite few newbies here with a lot more experience in the technical side of Bitcoin that I was not even knowledgeable of.

Higher rank does not mean one is loaded with knowledge
Believe me, it would've been worse if not for the implementation of the Merit system in 2018. The Pre–Merit years saw a great deal of empty and dumb skull accounts rise through the ranks with activities once the users were able to keep on making posts. Some veteran ranked accounts were shitty in their posts. If it were in today's reality, it's a sure thing those accounts would be stunted.

It's totally different when you saw a genuine newbie account, they even have mistakes on making threads.
This is one giveaways of genuine newbie users besides them not being familiar with forum rules. There's no genuine newbie who will say they took time to peruse the rules here before posting. I deeply doubt if there is any.

Like every other human endeavor requires mentorship and guidance so is this forum meant to shape your Bitcoin knowledge. And this can be achieved by learning from the senior members of this group(Bitcointalk) that has extensive experience.

It will be very misleading unfortunately to follow blindly choosing only to learn about bitcoins & crypto from those you see as senior colleagues. What you see can be deceiving especially in forum and in here, there is always something to learn both about bitcoins and generally from everyone, don't underestimate anyone even with their low ranks, the answer to your question may lie with them. Evaluate a user's track record before you subscribe to their information or knowledge, it is not always about ranks... some very high ranking members do not have vast knowledge on all topics, it may so happen to be the specialty of a newbie here.

Newbies can still share some solid information and add value here while in their early days here on forum, This perhaps is the major reason why newbies are allowed to make posts as well when they just join, rather than passing through an observational stage first where they observe how things work here before they are then allowed to begin posting.

Reading is far great than relying on someone although it depends IMO since not everyone is professional what they were doing but if you are lucky enough to have someone who teaches you about crypto then the next part is how good are you for understanding or applying it on the market. And just like what the above said, you can't determine their level of knowledge through ranking since some members may be active on other forum and not this one or they are professional with their job that's but less active on a forum. Lots of factors to determine one so good luck on learning, newbies.

It totally has a difference if you will compare a genuine newbie to the newbie account that has already knowledgeable on this forum, through these (below), you can determine that it's possible they aren't newbies behind on that account.

  • Fastest growing account
  • Fastest earning merit
  • technically knowledgable on Bitcoin
  • Already knows about forum rules

It's totally different when you saw a genuine newbie account, they even have mistakes on making threads.

Many many people in this forum can help you in a much better way than paid books or any certifications, mainly because there are many smart people in this forum and they share information very freely.

The forum is open to all level of beginners from beginners to advanced, it has teachers who teach the basics and then you can decide if you need to go further or not. 

Just don't give up too soon, if you find yourself a bit overwhelmed with the information, stop and take some time to take things in, that's how you learn and if you keep at it, you will find that you will soon be a master!

Higher rank does not mean one is loaded with knowledge and low rank does not mean that one have low knowledge just as his rank. Nobody knows it all, we can learn things from anybody either high rank or low. What A does not have Mr B have it to offer. But when it comes to experience  I think one with high rank has a lot to be learned from.

The basic growth of newbie is the ability of
• Observation
• Understanding
• Research
• Reading
• Correction

So learning from the forum, is same thing of learning from already existing thread from the seniors users over here, the ability for newbies to excel, is to adopt the strategic point above.

You're absolutely right! Users who look at ranks to relate with people on the forum and lord it over them miss the point. Sometimes I get to feel the harshness of tone with (some) high ranked users while they're addressing comments from those they think they're better off than by virtue of ranks and I feel bad about it. It shouldn't by any means be so.

Imagine some geniuses knew this forum and decided to make account and share their expertise on blockchain, they could outsmart some legendaries here with that rank.
You're in the know. Haven't we been seeing that already? There are a few tech dudes who came on this forum last year when Bitcoin had that surge and they've been providing tech knowledge in that direction.

Atimes we do have experienced users in a lower rank just because they just got to discover the forum or have been inactive for some time due to their reasons best known to them though in a rare cases, also we have some junior rank members as well who are extremely sound and fast in learning, but nevertheless, experience is the perfect teacher, and there's no barriers to extent at which learning must occur.

Readers are indeed leaders and experience teaches better. One can be reading more often and can never get an answer to what they want to know about rather I’ll advise if you don’t get an answer to what you want to know, it’s better you start a thread by asking questions. You’ll see how indeed friendly this forum is to answer to your questions.

You are completely right and I'm not wrong either. The Forum is not built on just the technical discussions, but that was just my example and a reply to OP, though the merit system has decreased a lot of shitposters, it is not a yardstick measure of seniority(knowledge I mean).
I respect the high-rank accounts, it shows how long a user has been on the forum and how much merit they have earned from contribution and hard work experience, and I have bookmarked some of their profiles in my browser, but we have seen a self-made Legendary answer a question and another Legendary correct what they replied, the mistake could be that the answer isn't up to date or completely out of context, it happens in almost every board, and I'm sure you have corrected some posts throughout your time here.

My motto: I will continue to learn what is important and helpful to the forum regardless of any rank.

You are correct by this statement. Some newbie accounts have senior member to Legendary members behind the accounts, by this both forum and Bitcoin knowledge will not be lacking. In the other hand, I have stumbled on a Hero Member who was posting obviously wrong information about bitcoin. I went through the account and discovered the account changed hands.
When I came to the knowledge of this, I began to differential between newbies and genuine newbies.

Knowledge doesn't equate to rank, In fact having loads of merit stash on one profile doesn't mean the person is superior to you...

In the current system, rank has quite a lot to do with knowledge, another thing is people who got their merits airdropped because they already had a certain rank when the merit system was introduced.

But someone who doesn't know anything, doesn't care about learning and doesn't contribute to the forum, is not going to rise in the ranks.

Another thing is that "knowledge", is a broad concept, and does not mean only technical knowledge of Bitcoin, as n0nce may have, I don't have much technical knowledge and I have managed to reach Hero level.


Rank doesn't have everything to do with knowledge, I said this boldly because I heard that people do buy bitcointalk accounts off others, imagine the buyers are crypto newbies, they will give stupid opinions and ideas.

Knowledge doesn't equate to rank, In fact having loads of merit stash on one profile doesn't mean the person is superior to you as it can be earned in many ways, remind me of a newbie who mistakenly sent $1k worth of BTC to the forum for purchasing of the copper account, the user opened a thread to seek for remaining change but unfortunately, the Forum admin sent the change to the wrong account and luckily, the user (EZE0010) refunded back the money and for such a bold step, some users rain the account some merits, if that account decides to increase its activity, it can give him a senior rank in due time.
Again, I have seen newbies in legendary rank (from the way they post), Nonce comes to my mind, I learned from this kind of account and those are the kind of accounts with heavy merits and low rank due to their activity. Some newbies are good, very intelligent but not always active.
The summary is that rank is not a requirement to judge knowledge, do your thing and learn from any rank and remember that legendary can also be wrong sometimes. Have a nice day.

Its a mixture, some newbie here are quite knowleagable on the outside of forum and even not newbie on cryptocurrency. Imagine some geniuses knew this forum and decided to make account and share their expertise on blockchain, they could outsmart some legendaries here with that rank. We can noticef that based on the idea and topic they are creating and tricks and solutions they posting here.
