If I am to be realistic enough, Me joining this forum from the beginning was for me to acquire so much knowledge about bitcoin and other crypto currencies, wallet security, and all of that, learn how to be useful in the community, and be contributing, but those things alone could not have made me as active as I am in the forum today.
But when I gain knowledge to some level where I notice I can also earn from the forum, why then do I have to be given attention to other places looking for green pasture when I can get it here? So going back to your question, I'm here to gain knowledge and experience and also make some cool earnings. It won't be complete if I don't add the earnings aspect, because that will be me lying to myself.
You are right, Everyone is correct in what they say, but no one has speak the truth. Many forum members are not there to learn more about cryptocurrency; rather, they are there to gain reputation and participate in worthwhile campaigns in order to make money. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as most of us who respond to this comment are forum members, and the majority of things that make some people money are campaigns. This is what I'm saying because no one has discussed the campaign in the forum, which is what attracts newcomers here in the first place.
As a newbie, you must understand about cryptocurrency so that you will have the confidence to write a good post that will help earn merits. I have seen numerous posts in the forum where a newbie complained about how to earn merit and that he had no idea about cryptocurrency. Earning money in forums by taking part in campaigns is not a bad idea, but many people don't understand the process of it.
