Topic: The knowledge we seek (Read 353 times)

Will only limit the quality? Why you think so dude? There is a saying try and try until you succeed. You are giving advice to some newbies that might discourage by this statement. Of course studying and do corrections are always there. But making quality one means do it for long time. It can be gradually achieve through passion and trials. Anyway if you want to be noticed here on forum and learn and understand how the system works. Then be open minded to some other users especially on newbies. Goodluck with your journey.

I would be so happy hearing a discussion about bitcoin from ordinary people. I think it's not that strange to discuss bitcoin from those sides you mentioned (eat/expensive) as btc users are not forced to understand the mathematics behind every thing they discuss. The essential is that people get familiar with those terms like bitcoin blockchain Crypto-currencies...

It may be different as a newbie or beginner in this forum and also a beginner in cryptocurrency.
However, they are the same base don the knowledge wiliness to search for. As we know, everything that we will concern about should be clear enough. ANd to make it clear enough, I am sure that everybody will always learn and also look for the knowledge. Knowledge is the basic.

As a beginner or even not a beginner, being scammed in crypto may be very usual. However,  it will depend on us how to make ourselves scammed or avoid it and free from it. The criminals in cryptocurrencies are everywhere and we don't know what is true.

In this case, we can see how the people are seeking knowledge about this forum, crypto, and also everything. Actually, this forum really serves so many things that we need. It can be got if we are willing to read and learn about it

I recently heard a conversation between two people who are discussing Bitcoin. They just discussed, why is it so expensive why you need it. They just know what to eat, but do not know what it is.

I am newbie in crypto and this forum also and don't know how to trade properly and how to post properly here. So i am learning about it whenever i have time.  I am really happy that i am active in crypto from now and i think its still early.

Thx for your point of view and link.
I'll continue learning by every possible means.
Have a nice day

Cryptocurrencies is abstract and one cannot get all the knowlabout it, only a few or a section and as such, which ever you seem to grasps, you do your best to perfect your knowledge about that part and know that the research continues.

Thats how I feel about it so, I head on.

[GUIDES] on Bitcointalk. Index thread, by LoyceV
Some important bitcointalk [GUIDE] for beginners, by Cadaver20.

Hello all,
Recently arrived in cryptocurrency world (2 months) and in bitcointalk forum (today) I'm currently seeking any good avices/infos to learn more.
Is there any particular thread to start of?
Thx

Understanding how cryptocurrency operate doesn't work the way a lot of people see it. most people feel buying bitcoin and saving it in their wallet or trading Bitcoin is all what cryptocurrency is all about.
But that is just a bit out of the plenty things that cryptocurrency really mean.
Most people do not even know what altcoin mean or how they are related to cryptocurrency. Some even think mining of bitcoin is on a particular website where you buy hashrates to mine.
bitcointalk is actually the best to understanding all these. Read through posts in threads, read through comments and ask questions you would surely get enlightened.

In cryptocurrency, before you deal with it, research and seeking information is a must just like what we are doing to something that we are not familiar about.

It will surely help you in managing your assets when the time you invest on it, also you will know how to control it in the market.

Even the big investors are not that knowledgeable at bitcoin at first and they only developed it when they already invested on it. We all know that information online is not enough when we deal with an actual market so cryptocurrency really need to be studied and gain experience along with it.

One of the many things I have learnt it anonymity of people on the forum, it's helpful to -Newbies- to have a mentor, but never remove the focal point form the forum, people can go from bad to worse and vise versa/opposite, people account can be compromised, transferred and more, you can study all good post you can stumble on and still have a mentor.

It is very difficult to answer this question because there are several issues related to cryptocurrencies

for example:

if I read a thread that talks about faketoshi, I just imagine that the guy came back with his madness

if i hear anything from china or russia creating barriers for bitcoin, i imagine dictatorship


in my opinion each person should have their own identity, not copy someone else's style, if the person knows about trade, then share that knowledge about trade and if you want to post where you also have certain knowledge you can also do

Learning they say never ends and so one can keep learning and upgrading his or her knowledge on a thing through out his life and would be marvelled at how much they never knew or is yet to know especially in cryptos which remains a developing field upto this day.
That's what learning and knowledge is about but, one can still be a professional of a field and this can only be attained through learning. One who is headed to a path and is determined not to fail ought to research on the failures of those that has taken such path and learn from them. This is what is obtainable in every field and it becomes your best guides against the huddles you'll come across and as such, learning becomes inevitable.

So, never stop learning in crypto

Better concentrate on the sections rather than posters because you may not gather knowledge by simply following few users. It is important to learn about the things you are trying to get better at. Let's take technical discussion where you get all the threads related to technical knowledge and difficulties so following threads in those section will give a better idea about for your future contribution to the forum.

In my opinion, it is a little presumptuous to give advice to beginners while you are still a beginner. But I think there is a right direction in writing posts only when you know what you want to say. In order to decide which direction you will be interested in, it will take some time. And only after a certain period has passed, you yourself will understand who you are interested in reading and the value of their posts. It just doesn't make sense to choose people based on their ranks. The same can be said for the user activity. The forum has a large collection of valuable posts from people who are no longer active, but their knowledge is still relevant.

What comes to mind is, as you mentioned, the lack of knowledge, but also of understanding the basic principles behind crypto as well as the economy and the monetary system. People tend to jump over steps, but what they should really be doing is education from the ground up. Get a basic understanding of what crypto brings to the table, how it can improve our lives and how it operates, as well as how it can be implemented into our monetary society, and then you will have a better understanding of trading and will not be scammed so easily.

You keep using the word 'articles' instead of posts, but I understood what you were trying to say. Coyster is right. There is no reason for newbies to limit themselves to just a few posters. Instead, they should know what it is they find interesting and in which areas they want to improve. A big mistake people make is posting when they have nothing to say, and posting what they feel other members will like. Don't get involved in discussions you don't understand.

Whoever wants to learn about Bitcoin should read threads posted in Development & Technical Discussion and Bitcoin Technical Support. But if you don't have any genuine interest in Bitcoin, and you are here for other reasons, it's going to be difficult for you to get involved in the discussions there.

Be honest to yourself and participate in those boards that entertain you. 

What comes my mind is that some people are missing when crypto market is so young, this is still the best time to take the opportunity and gain from cryptocurrencies. But keeping in mind potent ways to lose like DeFi, ICO, scam tactics and going for shitcoins instead of profitable coins like bitcoin.

I think about bitcoin and happy there is a lot of profit I will make at this early stage before it becomes like gold or more than gold in the future.

Whilst knowledge is obviously important in cryptocurrency, especially in the part of protecting your funds from scammers, but calling cryptocurrency or Bitcoin a business is wrong imo, it makes it sound more like a 'get rich quick thing'.
This is not true, except you're talking about mining one shitcoin or the other which in itself sometimes is risky for you to do, as you put your funds and device at risk, mining Bitcoin is definitely more than executing simple tasks, you need to be able to afford the electricity costs, purchase Super computers, compete with other miners etc.
Newbies could misunderstand this advice and I think it's somewhat wrong, doing this will only lead to over dependence on certain users, the entire forum is a repertoire of knowledge, learn from majority of it's users, and Information you find prolly incorrect or misleading, you could create and thread to ask questions about it.

What comes to your mind when ever people discuss Crypto currency? Does imaginations with lovely fantasies colour your mind or you only get stucked in the Midst of opportunities open to generate a life lasting fortune for you and your generation unborn?
Knowledge is paramaount and to every business proper understanding on how its been transacted is important.

As beginners I came to understand that in other to make quality posts one need to spend enough time understanding the concept and paying kin attention to the terminologies used in every sector of Crypto currency and other related boards. Taking for example mining which involves executing simples tasks in which one of it is rolling of dice. This forum might remain strange to newbies and the message sent on daily basis might remain a hidden mystery if learning from existing quality posts before engaging in creating new topics remain the trend.
My advice to newbies would likely be to pick atleast two or more active forum posters who has quality in their article and ensure reading their posts with proper understanding each time the post new articles and also how the reply to existing posts so as to add to your existing skill thereby adding tremendous value to your articles.

Making quality articles on what you have little knowledge about will only limit the quality of your post so its advice that studying and understanding the terminologies of Crypto as one of the ways to improve on how we make our posts so as impact proper knowledge and add value to what we do in this world of coin.
