Topic: To Earn or to Talk, what is Your Role here on Bitcointalk? - page 2. (Read 383 times)

To sum up, Learn before you can earn.

But, really, learning and knowing what you're going to talk about in the forum should be your top priority. You can't just talk about bitcoin if you don't know how to use an SPV client in the first place .

Aside from studying the technical aspects of bitcoin, people should also know when they want to respond to a post. Many people complain that they aren't getting merit despite having a substantial post, but if you look at their posting history, you'll notice that many of their posts were buried on the nth page of the megathread, making them unseeable.  .

Golden rule is: if you have nothing interesting to say, then simply do not make a post.

Move it to the beginners' section.

I can't say much because I'm still learning, but it appears that you are more knowledgeable with bitcoin than I am.

Expecting nothing and doing your best at the same time yields the best outcomes.

"off-topic"- Consider those who started with bitcoin and held it until it reached the ATH; if they had expected it to climb to a particular number, they would have sold at $150; similarly, if you publish a post expecting to gain merit, you will be disappointed.




@Justtoons that has been inactive just gave you merit few minutes after your post creation, coincidence or your alt? Or are you trying to initiate some kind of some spray here? Sound like what someone that's crazy as a loon would say, right?

   This probably could be the most funny story i  would be sharing here on Bitcoin talk. so yesterday I came across an old friend who used to be a member of this forum. he was actually here before ( last I remembered). it then came to my mind to ask him how he is managing to grow his account here on Bitcoin talk or if he already ranked up to a full member.

I was shocked by his reply,  he said that here on Bitcointalk that there are two sets of people as the name implies, some people are here to continually do the talking, while some others are here earning Bitcoin. he said that he gave up on his account when he noticed that after spending several months trying to create good post he only got just 10 merits and this discouraged him and made him stop using Bitcointalk. as he said this I laughed out my ass. I didn't know what to tell him at that point, but then I showed him my profile. he was surprised and asked me how I managed to earn that much merit in few months.again I smiled and told him that it wasn't just the merit that drove me, but my ambition to learn and earn from Bitcoin talk. before we departed, he  told me that he was going to login into his old account and see if he can earn some merits.

so I'm just sharing this story here, as an advice for the newbies and every one here on Bitcoitalk who finds it difficult to attain merits and rankup. going through the forum sometimes I find so many account that haven't been registered for a very long time these accounts are very good in creating post and earning merits. I try to learn from them and understand how they are doing this.

one thing I learnt, was that true according to my friend earning merit is somehow difficult, but if you put all your focus on earning merits, you surely are not going to earn some. all you have to do is to take your time and be creative, learn new things that fits into the Bitcoin ecosystem, be an active member..we all want to earn some little money from Bitcointalk, but if you are not  patient enough, you will According to my friend continue to do the talking, why others earn the Bitcoin from there membership.

just remember that every earner, was once a talker and a learner but some talkers never get to become earners because they never learnt anything. I know that for now I'm still in the talkers section, but some day I will definitely earn from Bitcointalk and also share my success story. so which are you, the Talker or the Earner.
