Topic: what have you learn? what do you need to learn? (Read 165 times)

Starting out as a newbie who still doesn't understand what cryptocurrency is and what the bitcointalk forum uses. Then I followed some bounties and airdrops which turned out to make a few bucks for me. Then I continued to work on many bounties and airdrops. Getting BTC and ETH Coins was very easy in 2016-2017. the price is still very cheap and there are many giveaway that give bitcoin prizes.
After I was bored with bounties, I learned to trade until now and become an active member of this forum. Bitcointalk is the best forum and has a lot of useful knowledge.

I have spent more than three years in this forum, and it also has helped me better understand the crypto and blockchain space. Reading opinions and facts from people who have better experience in the crypto space is more helpful than reading written articles and tutorial videos because their tips and guides are more effective.

Yes. This forum has also helped me avoid scams and Ponzi schemes because some posts on social media look legit, and this forum makes me realize that it is not worth it for my valuable time.

Honestly, without my friend, I wouldn't encounter this forum because he is the one who introduced me to this platform. He told me that I can make a profit out of it so I created an account but not only the profit I found but also the knowledge in regards to crypto space. I was amazed that these things can actually work. By then I read a few threads in regards to rules, what are the do's and don't, and more. Then my friend leads me to the services section and bounty where I can participate in any campaign I want and that where it all started. By then I received grands of different tokens and such, this is the time I also learn how to trade and to invest. The majority of my knowledge with crypto are all came here that is why I am grateful in this forum for giving me such wonderful wisdom and money of course. And as of today, I still continue learning new things.

My first reality contact is from this forum. I had little about it but now understand it, how to use it and better knowledge of bitcoin from the forum.


Yes it has also exposed me to some of the scamming tricks and that ponzi is not going to do any good. But I don't play along with scammers, I avoid them if I identity such. I don't dine with the devil at all 

I came to this forum by accident. My interests were completely far from cryptocurrencies. But one day the forum where I used to hang out turned to be out of order for a while. At that moment, I accidentally read the news from this forum. I heard about bitcoin almost from the very beginning, but, unfortunately, did not attach much importance to it. Luckily for me, there was a moment when chance brought me here, and I completely forgot about the rest of the forums.
If we talk about learning, then it should never stop. Bitcoin is so multifaceted that every day we discover more and more information, which constantly draws us in with its discoveries.

Learning is a never ending process and if it's related to technology then your whole life would be less. Technology is changing everyday and when you are into cryptocurrency it is changing every hour. I started with ICO then shifted to IEO and now into DEFI all this within a span of just two years. I do not know what new will come next but Inam confident that I will be the first to know about it as I am part of the BTT community.

My journey here on forum is quite a long ride. I had the same inception as you. Airdrops and bounties are my priorities before, and it really took me a while to be serious on forum stuff and more important things that needs prioritize. I am happy that I am now legendary and achieving this is a big success already for me since merit system is really become a challenge for me as I've started to earn those merit when I was still a member rank and from there I think grow from nothing to something. But I'm still open for more knowledge, technically I'm not that knowleagble completely and still has much to learn. So I'm still learning everyday.

It sounds like the merit system changed your way to learn here, doesn't it?

If it is true so, you is another example that the merit system is good and it helps to make some old members became a better members in quality of posts.

This year may be a significant year for me. In this short month, I received a huge amount of knowledge about Bitcoin and withdrawal link, and learned how to use wallets and exchanges.

I need to improve on my trading skills

I felt the same as you, I'm also starting here in the forum since 2017, from scratch and nothing until I slowly learned and developed to be a good member.  Before, someone in the Legendary member called me an idiot and spammer because my English skills are not so really good.  But I still here ready to learn and I know everyone who's in here were do the same.

People think the forum is a way to earn money are a mistake perception, if this is this first goal, they will never improve.  This is a better place for those people who want to learn crypto and blockchain technology itself because learning techy stuff is really hard to achieve but good thing we forum that anyone will freely give informative advice.  So, we are here in on community helping each other and I'm fortunate that I found this forum.

What do I need to learn?
IMO, I wanted to learn more about Bitcoin stuff just like, wallet and the process of the transaction.  It's a very complicated thing if you have Bitcoin but you don't have knowledge on how to store it safely.

What better thing to learn about cryptocurrency than how to take responsibility of your funds via 'being your own bank' and that I learned on bitcointalk, before this forum or Bitcoin, I've only handled centralized forms of money, but when I started using Bitcoin, I fell for decentralized currencies cause of control, freedom, no form of censoring or manipulations and other whatnots perpetrated by governments, but then there are scams, and that I was able to handle effectively cause I'm a member of this community.

Having said that, in my heart of hearts, I feel somewhat lucky to be a part of this community, i don't personally know how it feels, but I think it'll be incomplete to use Bitcoin without being part of a Bitcoin community, not just any, and definitely not cryptotalk, but btt.

This forum was my first means of contact with Bitcoin and it has helped to grow my knowledge about it.
Before now, I mostly had apathy towards financial intelligence and didn't think too much about how money worked; but with the discovery of Bitcoin I began to challenge the status quo and ask questions about why things were the way they are.
• Financial consciousness is one of the top lessons I've learnt so far.

My journey here has been relatively simple, I started off as a newbie and rose to the Hero member rank (aiming to be a legendary member soon). I didn't really aim for merits or rank early on, as I was only interested in learning more and understanding how bitcoin works as well as discovering new topics.

I learn bitcointalk is the greatest crypto forum ever, I learn that it is the first ever also, I learn that Satoshi Nakamoto the found of bitcoin is also the founder of bitcointalk. I learn how foolish I was not to know about how bitcoin is, but this forum makes me to realize bitcoin is just a unique asset on its own, I learnt how to play around with scammers with any of them to scm me because I know their trucks which can not lead to any thing. I learn about how to communicate with people, I learn and I want to contribute. This forum is a learn process on its own, we will continue learning, be able to make use of bitcoin, and know more about life.

Every human start the journey of learning right after his birth and its a continuous process. Until our death we go through this process and learn new things in every single day. Like many others i was involved with crypto currency before joining bitcointalk but my knowledge vault start to enrich after i start my journey with bitcointalk community. I can't remember a single when i haven’t learned new things about crypto currencies and bitcoin. Every single day was a opportunity for me and like newbies i tried my best to gather more Knowledge about crypto. Still i am a learner and i am damn sure that in upcoming days i will learn lot more new things.

In my personal opinion i can say that this forum is undoubtedly a better olace for them who have thrust about bitcoin and crypto currency. Just you will have to take the final decision that what you will apply in your real life.
