I have run into several Bitcoin "newbies" over the last couple of months, that are spreading the wrong information on forums and/or in person. Their intentions is good, but the results is bad, because they did not do proper research.

Some of these people are selling themselves as experts, because they have been in the scene for a few months. I have been in the scene for years and I still know very little about EVERY aspect of this technology.

I think you should rather admit it, when you do not know something about the technology, than selling your little knowledge as facts. I will regularly tell people that I am not clued up with every aspect of this technology, but I always try to do proper research, when I encounter something that I am not 100% clued up on.

~ Ask, if you not sure.
~ Do not lie, if you are unsure.
~ Do proper research, before you educate other people.
~ Accept that you will not know it all.
~ Fact check what you already know.
~ Do not argue, if you not sure about your facts.

Let's agree that we all learn something new about this great technology almost every day, so only a small amount of us are experts.  Wink

Arguing without having proper knowledge about the topic is like the job of conspiracy theorists. they are keep on looking for evidence which will support their claim without knowing what was really the truth. This was disturbing in the crypto world since it will affect their funds to every negative actions that they are doing. Might as well they should keep on reading and reading books, news and articles about a certain topic so that they will always be updated on what was happening.

Now it's a lot of newbie who make new topics without knowing the truth and do not research first. It's actually dangerous because if the news is fake it can make all investors afraid to invest again.
I see a lot of newbies who make fake newtopics make me sad.

Exactly, when you fact check these articles before you "forward" it to others or to other platforms, then things like this can be prevented, but most people are not even bothered and much to keen to be the first to post "breaking" news on another platform. So my advice will be to "fact check" everything, before you start posting it everywhere.

Remember there are a lot of shills that are constantly posting FUD all over the internet to spread misinformation, so when people just haphazardly post this garbage, without fact checking it, they get a little orgasm.   Angry

My goodness, this! I'm probably at 2 years+(not that much, but still) but I always feel like an idiot when listening to someone like Andreas Antonopoulos speak. When listening to someone like him I feel like a total newbie(though I probably still am 🤔). I've come to terms with it though, that there's still a lot I have to learn. We never stop learning I guess.
