Topic: The reason people join bitcointalk forum - page 2. (Read 806 times)

LOL, you never can know how desperate a human being can be, to you, it might seem Iike a waste of time but for them, they don't see it that way,. Am not trying to justify what they do but Most of this peeps are from third world countries where poverty has really destroyed lives, so they look for means to have a better life and are ready to do anything and don't really care how much they earn, as long as something is earned by the end of the day.

Earning is somewhat the most reason why but learning is just about to happen because it is needed. I'm not sure where 95% came from but I believe the majority of 100% has been thinking that cryptocurrency gives us a profit while learning. This is all about the money that increases market interest in the community and it brings them here.
- Traders  makes use of this forum to gain idea and applied to actual trading and the result is profit-money
- Investors collect ideas in here which coin is a good investment and the results are positive -still earning money

Yes, but the calculation of the people who are here earn is huge that the number of people who're here to learn and I can say 95% of the people that join the forum before the Covid-19 happened are here to learn.

This is not possible. There are individuals that will join a site online without having any motive though the person may be lost in the journey.

There are so many topics and threads scattered out there containing information on many things regarding Bitcoin, Altcoins, mining, Loans, services, project announcements, etc. So I don't think there's any perspective if the forums are just hunting for income but we often get advice from seniors on market analysis and risk management in trading. So we grew up in the forum because we wanted to increase our knowledge of cryptocurrencies so earning is not our goal here.

Apart from the two points you listed above, which are;
1. To earn
2. To learn
There are also people who don't know why they are here in the forum. The just dance to where ever the breeze blows them to. They cause nuisance and some troll and if you ban them they create new accounts and continue roaming about.
Also some sees here as a social media where they make posts and chat. I remember when my inbox will be full with messages as if here is a chatting platform.
These set of people constitutes nuisance to the forum and it would have been fine if they came for earning

Let's not shy away from the truth, everyone needs money, like whenever one hears the word Bitcoin first thing that comes into mind is money to be made.

Everyone desire to getting more and more knowledge about Bitcoin is not unconnected to making money from it.

Knowledge they say it's power, so the knowledge from Bitcoin empowers one to make money. So  wether you're focus directly on the knowledge of Bitcoin, you're still indirectly making money from it.

But it's much better when one focuses on the knowledge aspect than just the money. Cause with just a focus only on the money that comes with it, you can't be well-empowered knowledge-wise to add into others growth, especially to our newbie's growth.

I cant deny the very first reason when I joined this forum is to learn how  to earn more bitcoins out of curiosity after learning that this can be turn into fiat wayback 2015, but as time pass by you will realize that this forum is not all about earning bitcoin or new altcoins, this is also a place where you can ask advice and gain knowledge of different things you want to ask from other members like trading strategy, investment opportunity, loan money if you need an immediate funds, sharing your skills and earn extra income for it.

You should not hide your motive or intensions, it's very obvious that from the year 2020, the most of people who joined bitcointalk community does not join through the awareness of bitcoin or airdrop in telegram, Facebook, Twitter, reddit, Instagram and other unmentioned social media platforms, people were informed of the community base on their brothers and sisters are here to earn bitcoin.. if signature campaign stop today in bitcointalk so many people will take a hill and will never return.

So many of them are curious to earn merit and grow their account because of their are inquisitive to earn, many don't have the passion in bitcoin and never used their money to purchase bitcoins or any other cryptocurrencies before joining the community, we all know that seventy percent is interested of weekly earn of bitcoin..i wanted to mention few users who are here because of the ove they have for Bitcoin and not interested to earn any Bitcoin or funds...but i will not because it might causes vital argument or looks like fashion.

I am pretty sure that most people join this Bitcointalk forum at first to seek for salary, to get money as what they see from their friends and others. This is also what I was when at first joining this forum, I wanted to earn a lot of money from this forum like what happened to my friends at that time in 2017.
But after joining in this forum, we will be aware enough that this forum is not only about earning money, but more to that,more precious if we can look for deeply information, knowldge, and also discussions. Everything is provided here, we can gain not only money ut also knowledge, friends, and also otehr business achievenet.

New forum members are not really here for knowledge, but their main motivation is to earn an income that they immediately participate in the bounty campaigns even if they have no sufficient knowledge about bitcoin and the crypto market. This is the reason why the forum now is full of spam and do not seem very informative, like it used to be in its early years. Good thing there are still early bitcoiners left in the forum as they still contribute valuable ideas that newbies need to learn and reflect. 

on of the main reasons this forum was created i believe is to educated through important discussions. though employing the reward system is to encourage active participation, increase awareness and educate people on the investment they are going into. it is unfortunate that we cant control the motive of others but we can check mate some excesses by our positive and educative post. especially for those who are here to learn. we keep making our research to educate them. what is within our control we should do, which is to research and educate ourselves. i am learning a lot from the post of others in this forum.

Anything that can serve as a source of income will attract interest from the community. That is just one side. The other side, however, is that this forum offers a wealth of knowledge and opinion, especially from those with prior professional experience in crypto. When investing in the space, one needs to have faith in the community, and this will offer lots of information to everyone. Those who actually use it will benefit from the commitment from a handful of top minds, and the hope of learning.

For they think that the Bitcointalk forum is a good source of income, MONEY.
Perhaps, we can't deny the reality, those who often search for an online job might fall in here and see the great opportunity. But I think this was just all about earning money upon joining signature campaigns and bounties, we've also learned ideas, getting to know about cryptocurrency.

But I have some suggestions for you mate,
Instead of focusing on joining bounties and signature campaigns, it was also better to learn trading or simple investment. This perhaps gives you a passive income somewhat in the future if you were good on that.

Yeah you are right, most people are in this forum just to make money of it, the number of Bounty hunters in this forum now is just unbelievable. Like most people even think that Bounty hunting is the primary objective of this forum, and those who don't think will actually need to rank up to gain more money in the signature campaign.

Well, everyone has different reasons. ranging from those who like to discuss and broaden their knowledge, there are those who accidentally find this forum, and many more. but for all the reasons there is a commonality in the ultimate goal of making a profit. both in terms of money and insight. but this forum makes people more insightful. however, to get merit and rank up in this forum, you must have quality posts and quality posts require insight and skills and creativity so that people become competitive in the forum. so even though the main goal is money but in the process of getting it, people are more insightful because unconsciously everything becomes competitive. and it's fun for me personally.

Learning about Crypto should be the main reason to join Bitcointalk forum. Because if you have not much knowledge you can't make money from crypto. So every new users should forum on learning before earning.

There is one good way to check the real interests of the people who join the forum. Cancel all subscription companies and bounty companies. How many people will stay on the forum? And how popular will it remain? But those people who joined the forum in the first years of its existence are the real bitcoiners. Their history and lessons should be valued and constantly studied. It is they who today create educational materials that must be read by beginners in order to correctly determine all the advantages of bitcoin.

Well said, that there are people who genuinely join bitcointalk to get the knowledge of bitcoin and also there are some people who joined bitcointalk to make money.
But you didn't get a category of people who joined bitcointalk for passion and to teach people about bitcoin. This people are not wearing signature and they already know bitcoin, so we cannot say that they are learning. People like Franky1, DannyHamilton, Philipma1957, JayJuanGee etc. It's high time we began to appreciate these people.

You suggested of getting ride of bounty hunters? Why, is their existence threatening the peace of this forum? If they are harmless, let us accommodate everyone.

Exactly there is huge percentage of people who have the same perception of earning through bitcointalk without even knowing this was bitcoin and crypto oriented discussion forum created years back when was the golden period for it.There were so many threads in B&H section only few weeks back all seeking how to earn merits and money through the forum as they have been introduced it to that way.

Most of the bounty hunters joined with alt accounts to earn some shit tokens that are even not guaranteed will be able to sell them on exchange or not but only post on their social median accounts doing their promotion and hope for making more money but most turns out to be scam.So what's the fun of all this? The bounty reports are filled with hundreds of pages of application and submission so you see 6 out of 10 (rough example) join forum for Bounty campaigns.But they are not contributing to the forum in any manner and most of them limits their scope to that section only so not much of spam but there are some who will start writing up post without any relevant knowledge to rank up a little to join signature campaign of junior or full rank but fill that with spam posting.

We have seen some members who joined the forum with good motives of learning and contribution and the output is front of all they have grown up on the forum and I think that's the best way of growing.We have also joined signature campaign but are making some effective contributions also and taking it as discussion forum at priority basis.Learn and increase your knowledge and post only relevant things can help you to survive on the forum for long and your personal betterment.

It’s a good way to build your network and share ideas and thoughts, listen to different perspectives and get a better understanding of how to start. It is also a good way to clear any doubts that may keep an individual from continuing their journey.
