I'm not too sure about what it means to be a professional newbie, but maybe it's a phrase for those who really master bitcoin and its ins and outs well even if the account is a newbie.
The reality is that anyone who understands bitcoin today is a person who never really understood it before they studied it. His interest and desire to get to know bitcoin in more detail helped by his basic knowledge has made them understand this cryptocurrency faster than others. If this is the case, why can't we do it? And yes we just need to invest time to learn from time to time and we will get the benefits. The main advantage is knowing about bitcoin and many other things about it because not all gains are monetary.

Why would it matter? As long as they aren't being annoying, dodgy or breaking forum guidelines, I couldn't care less on the identity someone posts under. Don't forget that higher ranked users might be worried about looking bad if they ask a basic question, that's just the reality. While, everyone has basic questions at times, but just some people like to appear more knowledgable than they might be, which isn't a massive problem if it isn't used maliciously.
If you're knowledgable before joining the forum, great. If you're using multiple alt accounts for different opinions that you don't want to associate with all your identities, great. You're free to do either.
Regardless of whatever position you are currently in, i don't think it will matter the most because as far as i'm concern, as long as you are on the right track and is always been very helpful to contribute in a good flow of discussion, i guess that will matter the most. Be it professional newbie or not, that is not really a big deal as long as you are eager to learn to stay knowledgeable and become a quality poster, because what we need here are those who can contribute quality posts to make the forum more informative.

I prefer professional newbies to ignorant veterans, honestly. The first set enlightens and are relatable while the latter sits pompously on their ignorance in claims of what they know not. In 2017 when I joined this forum I was virtually a stark illiterate on crypto matters and was constantly getting lost in discourse. Whenever I see genuine newbies this day on the forum who are highly knowledgeable, I admire them. We all can't be deficit in the same thing.
You did not include one category of newbie, the Lurkers.
There are also veteran lurkers too.
Those who are professional newbies some have them might have been in a different forum that is why they have the knowledge how to contribute in a forum, some may be natural intelligent even if it is the first time for them to join a forum, they can use like some days to get all what they want concerning the forum .
It's base on your perception or ideology you have seen it that way, because a newbie who gather knowledge of cryptocurrency supposed to utilize the knowledge via making educational post that will motivate or trigger another user to do so. In ly agenda not like professional newbies, from my perspective i seen that tagged name as discouragement name that will make newbies to backslide..if i may ask, what's the criteria to rank up? So it's very obvious and plain that the only measure someone can rank up is through quality posting, and what is quality post..a quality post is a post that carries answer or solution to question of a Post.
Professional newbie work with old member on the forum for guide line about the presentation of topic and also, knowing how to race topic. and share idea, base on the information given gathering with a legit source.
Most of them ranked up very quick since they are successful in doing business, sharing and interacting with other users here.
One great example is @n0nce which I've seen being a newbie, climbed up, and received huge respect from the whole forum.
There are also real crypto professionals, who already know a lot about crypto and come to this forum to promote their products and services.
Although the Croatian part of the forum is relatively small and there are not many active users, we already have 2 crypto companies that promote their crypto services in our country.
Of course technically anyone who registers on this forum for the first time is a newbie but it is only a formal category and these members have a lot more experience in the crypto than most of us on this forum.

To be a pro on the forum, you must have to be professional in at least two things
- Technical knowledge on Bitcoin (most important because it's the Bitcointalk forum), altcoins (top ones, how to detect scam altcoins, rugpulls, etc.), security etc.
- Writing skills: it's important because if you have very bad, broken-English or bad writing skills, you will write too long posts or non-sense, hardly understandable ones. It causes failure to convey your idea to others
I wish we had many more newbies who are just new and unfamiliar with Bitcointalk, but already know their way around Bitcoin. Unfortunately, that's not the case. The majority of them are brand-new to everything and they came here after being told they can make money. No problem with that if they are ready to read and learn. What I don't like to see is posts like I am new, how do I become rich here 
We do get the occasional newbie who claims to be here for the first time, but then mentions some drama or even that happened a few years ago. A lurker? Possibly. it's more likely that they have been here before.
Exactly, it's why we keep seeing same old topics over and over again on this forum, but i'm curious about how they came to know about this forum when bitcointalk isn't putting up any banner online or ads, maybe google search?. We do get the occasional newbie who claims to be here for the first time, but then mentions some drama or even that happened a few years ago. A lurker? Possibly. it's more likely that they have been here before.

Those who come to the forum by acquiring knowledge in a natural way can go to a better position very soon. But it is not that those who do not come to the forum after acquiring knowledge beforehand will not be able to do anything in the forum.As far as I know most people have come to the forum and gained knowledge.The main thing is that those who come to the forum regularly and read the posts of seniors will be able to gain more knowledge.We see a lot of people coming to the forum for a while and doing something good.
Not all newbies are newbies on this forum, just because someone just created his or her account doesn't mean they have no knowledge about cryptocurrency at all, this shouldn't be an issue unless they break forum rules or try to scam people on here.
There are some genuine members who acquired lot of knowledge about Bitcoin and its technical aspects then land here which makes them to be professional newbie but good thing is good thing no matter from where it comes, its not really necessary to pay attention to the rank os users and if its comes from an actual newbie then its really good to see their interest towards acquiring knowledge about cryptocurrencies.
What the heck is "I too know" habit ?
And your case 2 is just a subcase of case 1 - if a person has another forum account and they have spent a lot of time on the forum, then obviously they got a lot of knowledge prior to starting their second account.
So, yeah, there's only one reason why someone is a "professional newbie" - they already have a knowledge about Bitcoin before creating that account.

It's a typical reflection of what information people are open to and how early the embraced bitcoin and crypto currency even before joining the forum. Bitcointalk is not the only avenue to get knowledgeable about bitcoin although it can be said to be the largest. But most times this so called professional newbies tries to abuse the whole system by plagiarism just to please the forum users
Origin 1 and 2 accounts more for your so called professional newbies on the forum. Origin 3 is one of the reasons why most of the supposedly professional newbies gets banned. Haven't found out that, the forum is one that is distinguishes for your intellect and how much you could contribute to the bulk of knowledge on the forum, the user feels pressured to produce better and better contents that eventually gets them banned. Trying to impress is always not the best of strategies to walk up the ladder.
There are other forums out there for sure but on my part, most of the things I've learned or came to know was on this forum. I wasn't entirely blank when I arrived here but surely improved on what I knew or thought I knew then.
If I can entertain a little curiosity that just might have risen out of your choice of username,
Which are you in your categorisation @OP?

If a newbie is already knowledgeable then that's good since that newbie can help fellow newbies in this forum except those alt account who are hiding behind a newbie account to ask questions for some reason like afraid to ask basic question even if they have higher rank. That would make them put to shame where such higher rank just asking newbie or basic question. As on how I see about other people who doesn't have high rank see a forum user which is above his/her rank see that person as knowledgeable than he/she is.
Yes of course. We've seen many times brand new accounts creating topics in meta/reputation and accusing reputable members for all sort of stuff. Those are of course alts of already existing members that are afraid they will get tagged by DT members. Even theymos doesn't have anything against creating an alt for sharing unpopular opinion.
Oh yeah I forgot. The drama history on reputation. But what Ive dont like there is the fact that if they have voicing out with a new account, it just show how they take it as preciously their main account not to argue with other high ranks using their own. Thats how valuable an account for not having a negative trust, and protecting their profile and continue the incentivize posting through signature. 
Are there people like this here? Doing some multi account with such different opinions or somehow behaviour?
Yes of course. We've seen many times brand new accounts creating topics in meta/reputation and accusing reputable members for all sort of stuff. Those are of course alts of already existing members that are afraid they will get tagged by DT members. Even theymos doesn't have anything against creating an alt for sharing unpopular opinion.I don't have a problem with alt accounts as long as they're not used for evading bans. If you're hesitant to say something controversial because you don't want it to be associated with your name, please create an alt account and say it.
