Topic: Say Something about your Bitcointalk Mentor. - page 2. (Read 675 times)

Seems like OP's watching too much of Grant Cardone and Dan lok 

I feel the same way here, it's hard to name one or the other. I have to admit that anyone who has posted anything helpful to me is a mentor in general, but I can't seem to find someone in particular as a primary mentor. Of course I also want to thank whoever they are even though I can't mention any of my posts in this thread.

OP, your question is good but it's very difficult to choose one from the many users as mentor.

Good question, but I think that I can't name one or few names which I can call as my mentor. For me it's something similar like naming favourite movie or song. When someone ask me such question, I never answer it because I simply can't pick one. Same about naming mentor.
There is so many people who helped me in all these years and I'm grateful for all them. But picking one name of user who helped me most is too difficult task for me.

Interesting topic, OP, because although I have a few names that come to mind as mentors, it's not something I would expect many members would have even considered. 

Again, I have several:
Vod: Gave me my first positive feedback which turned my trust green.
Lauda: Supported me getting onto DT2 way back when that actually meant something.
Blazed: One of the DT1 members who added me to his trust list.
hilariousandco: Supported me getting onto DT2 and was the second DT1 member to add me to his trust list.

But if you're asking what my first interaction was with any of them, I couldn't tell you.  But those members above were influential to me, and though I wouldn't have used mentor to describe them necessarily, it's close enough.

For me, "lovesmayfamilis" is one of those I always look up to during my early days on this forum, as she is one of the people who made me who I am today in both criticizing when I'm wrong and encouraging me on the right track with her words of wisdom, and I remain grateful to her and the rest of others who supported me and still supporting me.

E.g

My mentors: Satoshi Nakamoto and Hal Finney.
Satoshi's lesson
Hal Finney. Bitcoin and me

Reading their stories and contributions are really stimulating many members, not only me.

I have mentors - of course, some of them are in this thread although I don't want to mention them one by one. I can't remember which post inspired me the most so far from them - but at least my mindset has changed since then.

But wait - I have one quote from one of them that has at least gotten me thinking smartly so far.

This post kind of reminds me of this scene from Kindergarten Cop:



In all honesty, I don't think he ever wanted to be anyone's mentor but one of the posters who I learned a lot from and was vastly entertaining was Phinnaeus Gage / Gleb Gamow, RIP. For a long time both of the accounts were in the top 10 for most posts on the forum (which means he posted a damn lot). He was very abrasive toward those he felt were scammers or dishonest and very much a friend to those who encouraged his scambusting activities or engaged in camaraderie.

He had an interesting tactic: instead of making use of the trust system at all, he would simply yell at scammers and roast them into oblivion, until they left the forum. He was also one of the only people here I ever conversed with IRL, off-forum. A really cool dude once you got to know him. He spent his final years fiercely protecting Bitcoin yet died penniless...

I just found this post as an example at random of his type of humor, and it is somewhat prescient for today, in a thread titled "Would you accept and Artificial Intelligence as a member of the forum?":

He literally took "Proof of Belief" too far 

Well, here comes another random consensus mechanism for another shitcoin I should be CEO of, so that I become an overnight millionaire 

I came into this forum with zero or little knowledge about Bitcoin. Many members have helped me grow in my knowledge of bitcoin and other areas. I have learned from their posts, corrections, and even criticism. At first, it was hard to endure criticism and I began to feel that these critics dislike me. But today I am grateful that they identified my faults and called me to order. I don't have a single or double mentor because I respect and cherish everyone that has contributed to my growth in knowledge and the forum. I can't list all of them because I can't even remember their names. To answer your question OP

Write the username of your mentor: All quality posters
Paste their profile link: Too many
Link to the post that first caught your attention to them.: All quality posts that have informed me.

OP, we have expressed our hearts to the Mentor, in our opinion they have knowledge, experience, ideas and something that we think they are experts in their respective fields.

@icopress, have done that long ago, maybe you want to try to see the results of the Mentor we made here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.55867000, don't miss it, if @icopress re-make Mentor next year.

@lovesmayfamilis, said correctly.

OP I hope you understand what the people above are saying, interesting if this as a humorous thread, have a nice day.

I also followed the link; it was fun. Good sense of humor.
But seriously, I will have to list half the forum's accounts that could play a significant role for me here on the forum. To avoid that, OP, you can look at the trust lists. All the people on my trust list are real heroes to me, whose posts I carefully read and listen to their opinions.

Really, you had to click on either link to see the information right in front of your face? Literally 1 post up plus the title of the thread smh. Maybe you were just having fun idk.

It’s funny you started this topic and still did not tell us who your mentor is. I would have expected you to start with yours. When I first came to the forum, there were many users whose post caught my attention, their writing style and knowledge was intriguing. I don’t have to mention their names, they need no introduction and I’m sure you know most of them by now.

I don’t know of any mentorship in bitcointalk, a role model would be more appropriate because a mentor is someone you have some sort of personal relationship with. I doubt that’s highly likely to happen here because of how much members value their privacy, though it is possible to build relationships here especially in local boards. I also do not see the need for a mentor, bitcointalk isn’t as complex as newbies make it seem.


Lol

I think it was title “heroes of bitcointalk” or something like that. I have seen lot of similar threads, it’s hard to keep track of all of them.  

Hahaha Nice one, I can’t believe I actual clicked on both links to see who your mentor is… after clicking on the profile link and I found out that it was a member rank I became curious to know the thread that caught your attention only for me to realize that you were actually referring to the Op.

I think there was a similar thread about an user praising his mentors here in the forum but it seems like the post was moved to archival or prolly abandoned since it didn’t receive the kind of replies that the Op sought for.
We all have mentors or those that we read some of their replies and it has helped us one way or another but I really don’t see any reason to created a dedicated thread to start praising them, if you ever want to praise them then earn merits so that you can send the Smerit to the thread that helped you rather than mentioning them unnecessarily.

My mentor: Broadanbig

Link to my mentor's post that caught my attention: Say Something about your Bitcointalk Mentor.

When it comes to mentorship or coach, it is nice one have that particular person or group of persons  possibly in different field they are looking upto to learn more from. It doesn't necessarily mean that one must be close to them or know them in person but the ability to follow their foot steps by applying the same measures that they have used could guide you to achieving  the same or similar results as they have done or you surpassing them as a result of the principles you learnt from them and applying it to your own life and endeavors. There are lots of high ranked members here  whom I have been looking upto although I am still learning and coming up but I will still need  to learn more because there are still things to learn from posts here as every one has their unique ways of writing and information to dish out to the community which they have in stock already and this has kept me  growing  since my coming here. Although I am trying my possible best to be active here and I will continue to make sure I devote my time being here regularly irrespective of the situations i find myself in.

Like I have said earlier, there are lots of members here I have come across their posts and profile and I have been able to learn something from them in one way or the other which I am gradually taking the steps to building my capacity here as I  continue my stay on this prestigious platform. I have been taking my time to read most of their posts one after the other while I learn  from them as I engage in other thread and topics. I think I am just testing the microphone. I will mention but just a few of them;
JayJuanGee
DdmrDdmr.

There are lots of their posts and replies I have read in the course of my stay here and they have been much educative and informing. As a matter of fact, there have some information the are very much educative that i have been able to apply and it worked out. I have
no doubt, they are absolute voices and authority that speaks in their field.

I have come across many posts here where people in posts and replies say something about who they look up to on bitcointalk platform in the course of engagements with other members in thread conversations and arguments pertaining to a topic raised or area of concern and that has long been on my mind to start something of this nature whereby everyone member would be privileged to say something about their mentors here and maybe their mentor too can reply their post with a remark of how they see their mentee and how they have been following up with them and making sure they are successful and are creating impart on this platform.

I believe many people here were reffered to this platform by someone and in the course of going through posts and thread you saw someone's writing pattern which you like or maybe how creative a particular poster is and you decided to follow that person's step here onboard as your mentor. It is possible that everyone here has that particular person they always look up to to developing themselves here and it would be nice we have this opportunity to say something meaningful and remarkable about that person.

In other for there to be orderliness and coordination, I would state some steps and guidelines to achieving this here and they are as follows;

Write the username of your mentor.
Paste their profile link
Link to post that first caught your attention to them.

You can the write something about your mentor after you have provided the above so that other members can read about it.

Note: This thread is not to put anybody in a bad way but to steer up more commitment to this platform and to help build more people in the course of engagements and contributions.

I would welcome more ideas to develop this topic further so as to create more impart on this platform through it.  If you feel this is not the right thread for this topic you can say it for directions.

Looking for to hearing from you all.
