Well this is the question almost every newbie always ask  but you see most of them do not grow or improve despite been given guidelines and suggestions, so I keep asking myself if the question is for fun or cruz I don't know, any that's by the way. If you actually want to be a pro in this forum you need to dedicate your time to read and as many thread as possible and also do research and sometimes it's not just about reading and doing research, make sure  you understand what you are reading and your research.

It depends on what the person has joined the forum for. If a newbie is here to learn and grow, guidelines and suggestions can do a lot for them because they will read them and learn something from them, but if someone has joined the forum with the intent to earn money from here either through signature campaigns or bounties, they would barely focus that much on what others are suggesting because their minds will be crowded with thoughts regarding how they can grow their rank and start earning money.

It's ethical for us to provide assistance and help when someone asks for it, whether they really need it or not isn't our concern because we can't know that at first. So, we do what we are supposed to do and let them do what they are supposed to do, their success in the journey depends on how they travel on their way to success. One wrong step and the pathway changes towards failure.  Smiley

That good you want to learn about Bitcoin and the crypto world/space so I would suggest you keep active here as many of the members make useful threads or posts on Bitcoin Talk you just need to read them and if you feel this is the thing you come to know for the first time or it increases your knowledge you can also reply to that member by appreciating him/her in the form of thanks. Keep participating in the discussion that also will help you to learn fast as in discussion you will be able to ask more questions that you don't know and you want to know about those things.

You may see many of the users/members guiding you in a good way... all required is your time, focus, and reading threads if you can manage it, I can assure you that you will feel a good amount of knowledge adding to your memory. Besides this Bitcoin is the King of all digital cryptocurrencies out there in the market as far as it is concerned with reliability, capitalization, adoption or dominance.... I have seen many new users who have no idea about cryptocurrency and Bitcoin have learned from this forum and I am also suggesting the same thing just stay active here and this will surely help you.

I don't think there is ever a comprehensive guide for newbies on this forum, but yet each guide that have been given on this thread and the links provided above are comprehensive enough to help any serious newbie have a solid stand here on the Bitcointalk forum, because one thing I have come to noticed is that what works for Mr A, may not work for Mr B, and what works for Mr B may not work for Mr A. So it's left for you to figure out what works for you and develop on it. Hence, our ability to succeed here lies in our ability to provide value, while obeying the laid down rules which governs the forum (i.e No plagiarism, No use of A.I generated contents, e t.c)

However, there is an advise given by a reputable member of this forum 11 months ago, which I think will still also be of use, shown below.

Personally, I recommend that you watch Andreas's[1] YouTube videos and read Mastering Bitcoin[2], it will give you a lot of useful information that is the basis for self-learning, with it all you need to know is to search Wikipedia for that information and then ask here[3][4][5] if you did not get useful information or wanted to discuss a topic that needs more details.

What could be a comprehensive guide for a newbie here?
We started here starting from beginners, we also learned a lot of things here that gave us knowledge, especially in the field of Bitcoin, wallets, exchanges, investment, trading and many other things that we learn, especially those related to Bitcointalk forum rules and so on, if you want to become a professional and comprehensive beginner, develop the talents you have here.

Maybe other things have been conveyed here by other members above, you just need to study these things, for that reason your creative ideas and knowledge are really needed here, especially regarding digital, technology and so on, in this way you will be considered a knowledgeable and professional member, there are many things you can do here as long as you want and have real knowledge, without engineering.

Keep providing amazing things that people don't know about, that way you will become the top.

Hello Leo! You can still win.
And then in a year, another topic will be created with such questions. Grin
OP has been on the forum for a year. What is wrong with you? Keep in mind that by creating such stupid topics, you are once again attracting unnecessary attention to your account. And such interest may not always work in your favor.
It's true. Tomorrow will make it one year of OP creating his account in this forum but I am not sure he has spent upto 1 month in the forum. He abandoned the account and then returned after 1 year. Maybe forgot what was recommended for him and created identical topics. He is still a newbie irrespective of the age of his account. I wish he stays this time and face his fears.

I am sure that this is not your first account, and you will help us find out the first one.
If he had account before, he would have been smarter. He is obviously a novice, I'm sure of this...

You found the right spot already, so all you gotta do is read as much posts as you can starting from this help section and make the effort to surf the entire board to get an extensive overload on Bitcoin  upgrades, initiative and updates and all news cryptocurrency and decentralized system in general.

It seems you’ve already created two previous topics that are similar to these and I guess you didn’t get the exact answers you were looking for right ?
But if you’re looking for an answer like, “ click on this link to rank up or 5 easy and certain way to rank up” then I’m sorry to disappoint you that, there is absolutely no such thing on the forum.
If you want to rank up and succeed on the forum, then all you have to do is, make quality post and contribute meaningfully to the community and watch how you’ll grow without hassle.

I’ve been on the forum over a year and I don’t think there is any short cut to browning in the forum or ranking up on the forum except from contributing to the forum.

Perhaps the information provided in the previous thread was not as comprehensive as he wanted.
Asking generic questions three times is not how he shows he wants to learn.

Maybe someday someone will be able to produce a step by step thread on how a novice can navigate through this forum and become knowledgeable in Bitcoin and the underlying technology. 
There are and he only did not read anything.

Your previous threads, ask for same things.
ow can a beginner fast learn and contribute to bitcoin forum
How can a beginner in the forum significantly grow?

Why did you create one more thread for it?
Perhaps the information provided in the previous thread was not as comprehensive as he wanted. I was in similar situation that he is in right now when I joined, it was really difficult processing the information and putting them together in a way that it becomes easy to follow. I can assure you that many newbies face this challenge. Maybe someday someone will be able to produce a step by step thread on how a novice can navigate through this forum and become knowledgeable in Bitcoin and the underlying technology.  
Thank you for this consoling reply, Bitcoin/bitcoinTalk forum is a big case study for newbies and I understand the OP perfectly, he may have created topics similar to this one and I bet he would keep asking for the same thing over and over again (I hope he doesn't tho) because he might end up drawing unnecessary attention to his/her account.
 I requested for useful links that will help me learn about Bitcoin and the forum from the first topic I created and I go back to that same topic Everytime I want to know about something instead of creating new/similar topics and I think you should use the same method @OP

Even old time member is not pro here. But if you are consistent for taking up some participation on each discussions tackled by people for sure you can learn a lot of information which is helpful for you to learn.

But try to consider those suggestions provided by people here since from the links they post here for sure there's something to learn there. Its up to you on how eager you are to learn this since if you are just interested because you think its easy to earn then maybe you might just quit especially if you find out how hard to keep learning everyday and there's a risk that you can lose your money from wrong decisions you made so exert some efforts to learn because for sure in future its really rewarding.

I see everyone's response to this topic and I understand what y'all mean with your responses but to set the record straight, this is my first and only account on this forum but for the past six months, I left the forum for personal development journey that's totally different from Bitcoin or cryptocurrency related  and decided to get back and consistent. I hope y'all understand me and help me to grow instead of bashing me. Despite the critics, I've also learnt taken so many lessons and how to be mindful of questions I pose on this forum going forward. Thank you all
You have already obtained answers, but it seems that you have not read your previous topic. I hope that you have obtained sufficient sources for learning, and 90% of your questions can only be answered on YouTube and Google.
If you have a question that you did not find there, you can ask it here.

You don't need to feel insulted or belittled by anyone. You are asking for other people's input or opinions and you must also take into account whatever other memes say. You can choose which is suitable for you or which is not. if it doesn't fit then forget it.
all you really need to do is read what you want to look for in the forum. that's enough even without you creating this thread you can do it yourself. I hope you are not an old person who doesn't know technology. so finding information on forums should not be difficult for you.

I don't think you're serious with what you're saying here because if you're then you should have found it already before hand and with the above post from solosanz I believe you're not interested in learning rather you just want to keep yourself relevant in the forum.

You can use the search button to find whatever you want in the forum, and I believe you must be acquainted with how to use the search button if you're not then you can look into this thread - [Guide] Searching effectively

If you spend more time in the forum, there is nothing too hard and believe me time made the people who you will see as pro the way they are. All you have to do is learn from what others are doing and if you want to be a problem as you said then you have to put more effort in practicalizing everything you learn from here not just reading.

The Alliance Of Bitcointalk Translators - ENG>PID
Being a pro?? Lol mate, the best way you will learn from this forum is by being active and try your best to study old and important discussions. It worked for me as a newbie. Back then I would scroll to old pages and find good thread and try learning from them. Though there used to be a thread called Bitcoin and BitcoinTalk encyclopedia created by Ratimov or rather symmetric which he deleted. That thread also would have been of great help to so many newbies so they wouldn't start searching here and there for guide but instead read through the listed threads there. But non the less mate, like I said before you just have to be active and you'll see in no time you will understand the forum along side Bitcoin in total. Noone knows it all so don't use the word pro but rather have sound knowledge of the forum.
