I created Coins PH back in 2017, before I registered in here because I was looking for something to invest at. Back in the days, it was not that quite strict for KYC, but now it is absolutely strict.
I just let that bitcoin sitting in my wallet before I transferred it to Electrum for security. Never want yourself to get locked out of your own funds.

Fortunately for me today, am back to it again, cause maybe I really want to really get apt insight on how to learn and grow from this platform. In other words, I really need to know how things work here, so please those that have been here before me I could really make use of your ideas and suggestions as a fresh beginner ones again.

The best way in order to navigate through the forum is to first read the forum rules in order to avoid any further conflict that might result to your account getting banned. After such, you can utilize the search bar function if you have any questions about a certain topic. The only way to get through this stage is by exploring and adventuring your way through countless of topics here.
...

Also I recently have found this awesome thread, created by Ratimov, which is called Beginners & Help Encyclopedia [UPD: +Categories] in Beginners & Help branch. There are qualified threads systematized by topic, date and author, so you can start learning how to navigate through the forum and how to make contribution by writing something useful. Also there are information about forum ranking system. But not all threads are about forum. You can also learn how to manage with your crypto portfolio, how to choose between new assets, what you should pay attention on while getting acquainted with white papers and a lot of other helpful things.

After building such knowledge, you can now participate in discussions about certain topics. You can also add extra knowledge if you know something that hasn't been discussed or raised. Treat the forum right and it will reciprocate to you nicely. Good luck with your stay!

Looking for gigs

LOL this reminds me of registering my account last February 2014 and ignored it for almost 3 1/2 years. Yes I’ve seen a post on Facebook about Bitcoin and I just simply don’t understand how it works. I only created an account here along with a Coins PH account and I just simply don’t deposit anything from there. I’m also kinda dumb to realize that I could buy fractions of it rather than 1 BTC, which it was still under $600 back then. Oh well, everything happens for a reason.

I don't know what year your first experience was, but I would have the same sentiment around 2017 when I first started lurking through the forum. I'd say the forum these days has changed significantly. Shitposting is low as possible compared to that of years prior, scam reporting is spot on and more and more quality information is being handed around. So there was definitely some change.

It really isn't rocket science. This is a bitcoin forum. Its main topics of discussion is Bitcoin and its underlying technology. To participate in such discussions, you obviously need to have an interest in crypto, be willing to read and learn about it. As your knowledge gradually increases, you share what you learned by answering questions of other newbies, creating your own threads, or offering various services related to bitcoin.

Click on the home button, go from top to bottom, read the descriptions underneath each sub-board, and start reading what you think is interesting. That will also give you an idea of how a good post should look and what spam is.

I still remember initially when this forum was first introduced to me by a colleague, the enthusiasm I had towards it was very skyrocketing but with time the interest died in ways I never expected reasons being that as a novice I didn't and still don't know how this forum navigates and it's growth processes for a member, and this was as a result of the fact that the person that told me about this forum never gave me a clear clue or a mentorship hand about the processes. So with time I was so discouraged about the whole thing cause like they say you can't obviously have knowledge of what you don't understand, so overnight I just lost interest and ran_off, like for months I never logged in into the forum cause I felt a waste of my time and data.

I don't think the person who informed you about the forum could provide you with mentoring or site navigation. As for me, you have to figure it out yourself. Forum participants, even of the highest rank, also cannot teach you how to benefit from the time spent here, how to write quality posts and how to contribute to the development of the community. You learn from your experience, constantly reinforced by interest. As a newbie, I am aware that it will take a long time before I can say about myself that I understand what is happening here and can be considered an equal participant.

Uhmmm, well no matter how you wanna twist it, it's boring because you ain't getting anything at the end of the first week here;maybe you thought the forum pays every single member after registration,it doesn't

i don't like being sentimental and at the same time,I'm not trying to mock you but just that you expected too much when you have given nothing in exchange and when nothing came,it became boring,yeah
...but you remember the first Zeal you had? Rekindle it op, it might fetch you what you want when you never expected

That would be the fault of the introductory link between him and the forum if this was true, a good introduction about the forum should begin from what is Bitcoin, crypto-currency and other basic crypto-currency terms, topic, criticism and future get the listeners curious and excited to want to learn about crypto-currency and Bitcoin, then introduce the forum and exciting place to begin to learn crypto-currency rather than what some -Newbies- are used to hearing about working on the forum.

This form has been enough providing completed information that you need as newbies. What you need is searching and also reading.
More you search, more you read, more you will get, and more you are curious.
Never tell that this forum doesn't navigate every member to progress.
There are so many information, but yo may be lazy to search and read them.
Better not to judge this from one side only before you are searching for.
We know that even we are old here, we are still learning again and again, because so many new news and knowledge are coming and provided here by members in this forum.

It's good as you start getting understanding about the forum, it is hard to know everything when new into the forum . The forum is a big community , getting knowledge about bitcointalk forum requires time and as one continues to be active the more one grows in knowledge.

The first mistake was to expect to get a mentorship from others about cryptocurrencies. Frankly said, there's no one willing to do one-on-one mentorship without any fees in this sphere because the crypto world moves so fast and rushing. You can't expect people to direct you from the beginning and depend on them. In fact, you can only depend on yourself in this harsh world. It is okay to ask, to discuss but at the end of the day, you need to read and do your own research.

Based on my experience, I learned from the very basic, about Bitcoin. I watched youtube, I read articles, then I found a small local telegram group where I can discuss cryptocurrencies, I found altcoin and start to learn about airdrop and bounties, acknowledged about this forum and so on, it just goes on naturally. I always make sure that I learn a new thing every day. Actually joining bounties helped me or if not, forced me to find some information I need to be successful doing my job. It's not an instant way to gain some money, I need years of process to come to this place.

Once a man, twice a child!

OP, you don't have to blame anyone; not even your mentor who introduced you to this forum for your lacklustre attitude. Be brave and place the blame on yourself. I can even feel the frustration on the part of your mentor for I've been in their shoe too. Personally, I've introduced not less than five persons to this forum. Some of them I had to pay the evil fees for to clear them but only one is active now on the forum. Do you know how it feels for someone to show you the light and you neglect it, only to turn back to blame them? A lot of people like to be spoon-fed, fish thrown at them when they can easily learn how to fish. I encourage you to develop that attitude of learning how to fish and not expect anyone to throw then at you. Going forward, make the internet your friend, allot a few hours daily to peruse this forum and you will grow from there. I'm placing merit on your post to encourage you. Hopefully, you won't run away again.

The thing is, you do not automatically have to fall under the tutorship of the individual who introduced you to the forum, everything you need on the forum is at your disposal and you can effortlessly get them yourself, mind you that you're obviously free to ask as many questions as you wish, you're also free to use the search button to look for topics that could fall under your area of interest, it's basically up to you in your desire to learn, interact/discuss with other users about Bitcoin and other related issues (cause that's exactly what the forum is for) to do your own research and build up your understanding of Bitcoin. But having said that, the most important thing you need still remains knowledge, you do not need any personal tutor, cause most times they could even turn out to be scammers, members of the forum can be mentors/tutors to you, but not on a personal term, just work on your knowledge of Bitcoin, so as to be able to communicate with other forum users, it's not so difficult, as long as you're willing to learn.

I once felt this way in the past when I first joined the forum persistency and commitment was all I applied. No one is looking for how good you may appear In making a point provided you can device an easy way to tackle crypto related issues and provide an answer to someone's question it would be way easier to grow without necessarily putting In so much

Well, if someone doesn't want to learn they can give millions of reasons to be not get involve but for someone with a burning interest they can find a million reasons to find a way on how to learn things here. No one is forcing them to be part of the crypto community if they can't contribute to their selves in the first place.

And OP, didn't seem to care a lot so its in his best interest not to meddle in crypto or in this forum if someone doesn't want to learn. Although, if he had a change of heart then things might run different and most of us can help him to his journey on how to be a crypto enthusiast.

Just spend time with the forum. You don't have to exert much effort really. No pressure. You can spend your extra time exploring and reading. You don't even have to reply or make a post. Do your thing at your own pace. When I first got into this forum in 2016, I didn't even go straight to the rules.

Your experience here is more or less a reflection of how determined or interested you are. You quit easily on your first day, that speaks more of yourself than the forum. But, of course, you can learn about Bitcoin outside this forum. It's just that the interaction may be better here. And the history is also here. You'll definitely enjoy reading the oldest threads.

I'm like you. the first time I created this account, on the second and first day I was still excited and very enthusiastic to find information about BTC and participate in discussions on the bitcointalk.org forum. But somehow for a long time I became bored. But it is true from the comments of friends above. I opened bitcointalk.org again because the bitcoin price is in the process of increasing day by day. So that's what makes me excited again to return to this forum. But in the future I hope I will continue to have a high spirit to seek and participate in discussions in this forum. Is it BTC going up or down. The most important thing is the knowledge and information that I will get on the forum, which will be very useful for me in the future. Because knowledge is something very valuable. Knowledge never runs out or perishes, but on the contrary, wealth will be destroyed in accordance with the passage of time. Thank you friends for sharing your knowledge. Now I know what I didn't know before

It's no strange thing that, most active users of the forum now where once discouraged with there progress in the forum, especially with this rank, merit and activity series thing. It becomes a thing of great concern when you think of the benefits that comes with it. By benefits, i don't subject it to monetary benefits as in signature campaigns alone, as little as, posting frequency, some prestige that is associated with some ranks and lots of others.

If we are to observe, most of this things we are more concerned with doesn't matter. What matters the most is the only thing that sticks forever and that is, the knowledge you acquire. Little wonder why the forums core value is centered on learning through self education. From the series and surplus of information both in the forum and on the Internet, build your knowledge about cryptos, how it could be utilised and helps the world. In your doing this, you would get better and other requirements would come along.
