Topic: Why are you here? (Read 792 times)

You are right buddy, and I am trying to learn many things here.  I don't know much about cryptocurrency but I seem to be able to gain some ideas and knowledge by coming to this forum. I am a small user but I think if I can join this forum for a long time I will be able to learn and gain knowledge in future. I am not currently able to earn any money from this place but I believe I will earn money from it in the future. and from this forum I will be able to gain real knowledge of cryptocurrency.

I believe we should know why we are here,and at the same time,we may have different reasons why we are here.Some person's come here to read and and comment on people's quality posts,while some person's come  here to make money.Nevertheless, bitcointalk has been inspirational to me ever since I became a member of the bitcointalk discussion forum,I have learnt so many things that I wouldn't have known if I had not been in this forum.
I was a total novice about Bitcoin,it was when I came here that I started reading about it,and I now know how to trade,invest and so on.

Let's say, same reason as you although our stories differs, but at the end of the day I hope to benefits crypto ideas, market strategies and more from the forum to use for my own crypto journey as we voyage further.

The main reason of the forum creation is learning and getting knowledge about cryptocurrency, just like otheren I am here firstly for knowing and learning every Knowledge about Bitcoin and Alts coin and it's related, honestly this is only place where you will get true and real knowledge. I also here for earning money because many of my fellow earn from here so I just visit here learn much about crypto and then start earning from here

I agree with this! But some of the newbies most they think is all about earnings. This forum is also for the people who are willing to learn more about cryptocurrency. We should always make sure to post good quality content so that we can also help the forum to grow more effective and efficient especially for the cryptocurrency learners.

I will say sorry and take heart I know how it is with you now but what has gone have gone.
Where I m even looking at is when you knew about this platform why don't you come over here to ask things concerning your investment to know if that platform was actually good to put money as a means of investment. From investigation I have known this forum to be the best and reliable platform for one to verify concerning any investment platform, coupled with its accuracy, and authenticity of information concerning bitcoin.

I'm here because of my friends said that this forum can earn money. I don't know much how they earn and how the owner in this forum get some money to paid the users here. That's why I'm curious, want to learn and want to earn at the same time.

This is sad. Most people I know who started their crypto journey without any guide either got scammed or had a close call will crypto scammers.
So, I also already armed with most of the technique's scammers use and their scams before I bought my first bitcoin. This was because my friends who were victims of scammers already filled my ears with ordeal.
I am here on bitcointalk forum because it is good to be a part of a community and there are so many benefits attached to it. Aside from being very busy, this forum is my go-to website for the latest and most concrete gist in the crypto space.

It is just like a person that came to this forum, see how hard it is in the beginning, learning what people are doing and become like them, gain knowledge and have experience. These are the kind of people that will let this forum move forward and earning too, but earning is not necessary. The learner will later be the tutor or a role model that those beginners in the future will wish to be like. Knowledge is existing on this forum and remain not to extinct.

Always make sure you post good quality content. This also helps to grow the community more effective to learn more about cryptocurrency especially the basic knowledge.

Errors are unavoidable in the age of ignorance. I'm sorry for your loss, friend, and I'm delighted you've committed to studying despite being active in the cryptocurrency community since 2018. The Forum is a wealth of knowledge, and B&H is a fantastic place to start. Keep in mind that any centralized network will inevitably have one of two outcomes: either they will become compromised and collapse, or they will become compromised and become regularized. The so-called MYER, which drowned your money, experienced the same thing. Bitcoin continues to rule the cryptosphere, and it never compromises your keys, ensuring that all of your coins stay yours.

I have always been interested in technology and innovation, so when I first heard about Bitcoin and the concept of crypto currency, I was immediately hooked. I did some research on BTC and learned about basics, how it works, what is mining etc. While I was researching, as instant as possible, I was convinced that it was going to be a game changer for a long time. But man, I couldn't predict that how popular and valuable it would become as such high volume. Amazing era to experience with so much opportunities. So now here I am, digging deeper to find something valuable and right to invest.

I'm still a newbie in this forum, so why I'm here? I came here to earn some rewards and to learn more about cryptocurrency especially the basic knowledge. I'll do my best to post good quality post that may help in other newbies like me.

Very logical.
Even if the sole aim of many people here is to make money, they have to acquire some level of bitcoin knowledge to be able to make the money, otherwise they will turn spammers and plagerists which will lead to their premature exit of the forum.

The good part of this forum is the ability to earn while learning.  This is what is lacking in so many online forums.

When someone lacks knowledge about anything, including Crypto investment, which carries a high risk, they are more likely to be scammed or make the wrong investment, which may result in a loss of total investment.

Welcome to this wonderful forum; I am confident that you have come to the right place to learn about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency investment because there are many experienced users with extensive experience in cryptocurrency investment.
Bring any questions you have here and we will answer them.

Bitcoin is the right coin to invest in, as all other Altcoins may go one day, but given how Bitcoin began and has progressed thus far, you should have complete faith in Bitcoin and place your investment, and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Join this forum to learn more about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
There will be many encryption experts sharing their investment currencies and experiences, from which you can learn more about cryptocurrency knowledge.
Many of the lessons learned on this forum are far more valuable in terms of trading and investing.

Regardless of what the purpose of being here is, I believe each of us can learn something even a little bit. This forum is worth mentioning as a library of wealth of information and knowledge about bitcoin and others. Some of us could become experts here and they could even become developers for other big projects besides bitcoin but that's only a small part. I think the majority of us are students of bitcoin and other.

Even if they aim to make money on this forum, then they also have to learn something in order to stay longer in the forum. Spam and low quality of posts is one of the problems of those who lack knowledge, and I'm sure their stay won't be long until they learn a lot.

Obviously this is a nice informative and knowledge sharing forum. There are early and modern information about bitcoin. First hand and translated information of Bitcoin and one unique about this forum is that everyone who knows, including the experts are always wiling to give out important information free of charge to anyone that is in need of it.
So, it is nice to believe that majority people are here because of bitcoin knowledge and information

I showed interest in learning Bitcoin through a friend.She told me about this forum because she felt she couldn't explain everything I needed to know about Bitcoin.So I'm here to learn about Bitcoin, and as a newbie,I think I'm improving everyday.

What actually made you to have such huge lost was the inability to make findings yourself and you were willing to pay any price just for you to start earning while you seat at home, during your investment whom did you consulted to know if really they've heard about that platform?
There are so many scammers that are very good at convincing people to invest, such people always bugs you with much messages trying to lure you into doing what you don't really wanted to do with a huge ROI.

If you are eager to make investment why not make a uturn to start your journey with bitcoin instead of looking for a project that would likely fetch you are high ROI, at least bitcoin has been there for long and can't scam you just as every other investment platform did, meaning you buy and hold by yourself instead of sending to a fake website.

Why i'm mostly here is to read and get more updated with authentic information about bitcoin since the forum was originally meant for bitcoin discussion and has been in existence since from inception of bitcoin till date as a matter of fact., This forum carries more information about bitcoin that you could ever imagine.

You have chosen the right direction by entering this forum, because I, too, when I found out about Bitcoin, immediately rushed to find a forum that discussed Bitcoin and finally entered here because this is the official forum for Bitcoin and also for cryptocurrencies. Although everyone still needs to read more elsewhere than reading and discussing in this forum to gain more knowledge.

Because now we cannot ignore any media that has any source of knowledge to be known and applied to each other's lives according to our needs. Cryptocurrencies are a great thing to learn about and Bitcoin is definitely what more people are excited about and makes it an excellent investment for the future.

I'm here to learn more about the forum and bitcoin though I've been hearing about bitcoin and crypto currency for a long time now that why I join the forum to know more about bitcoin and crypto currency and how to trade bitcoin.
That was when I got Introduced into the forum by my brother, we had a little bit discussion about the forum bitcoin and crypto currency he now told me I won't believe till I join. That's why I join the forum to learn more bitcointalk.org, crypto currency

The most inconvenient aspect of cryptocurrency investment is coin loss or theft. I'm sorry for your loss; we all make mistakes in life and learn from them. You've learned your lesson, which is why you've come to this forum. I'm sure this is the last time you lose money to a Ponzi scheme that claims to be a legitimate crypto investment. You've come to the right place bitcointalk.org, where you can learn about the latest and most popular Bitcoin and altcoin news. If you have any questions, please ask them; many people will share their perspectives, and you will learn new things as a result.

I guess you must have been well informed due to the length of the replies I'm seeing on your thread but just to add to what I believe others have said, you have to stop searching for the get rich quick scheme as they'll only fail you. If you want a project that really works then invest in Bitcoin. You still have a high chance of making 3x of you money just by Bitcoin going back to its previous all time high of over $60k+.

Now if Bitcoin was to surpassed it's previous all time high and probably go to $100k+ or above as speculated by the community then you can make above 5x of your money while been assured of you not getting rug pulled or exit scam by scammers. Bitcoin still has alot of upside that you should make your investment in and exercise patience instead of chasing after newly launched project for the quick gains.

Mistakes are part of a learning process and if anyone engaged into a new phenomenon didn't make a mistake be it costly mistakes or mild one then their learning journey haven't started yet.
Its just a pity you had to learn the hard way but bear in kind right now that you have arrived at the right information center to every detailed information you need to know as it concerns cryptocurrency especially bitcoin,  from trading, to mining, and other aspects you could think of.
I can boldly say I have gained much feat in knowledge ever since I got to know about this forum and many can also attest to this testimony because the forum affects everyone differently based on what you're looking for. Give yourself some time here and get involve in the other sections or boards in the forum and you will be amazed of how equipped you could be to making good investments and having a real ROI to it.

I joined the forum when I was introduced to it by one of my friends who was already having a account here so we both generally have crypto talks and then he recommended me here to increase my knowledge on different subjects I was interested in or to have discussion with other people in the forum.I have also been victim of such scams in the past not too big loss as was not having knowledge how to keep yourself safe but this forum has given me enough from the beginning as now I am not a newbie who doesn't have no knowledge about this crypto world.

This forum has provided a lot of knowledge for anyone who joins here, every day a lot of information is shared on the forum. Besides that, you can learn more about Cryptocurrency because this community is very happy to share knowledge if there are users who want to learn.
The uniqueness of this forum has made the users feel like a family, without differences in ethnicity, nationality or background. All users will be ready to help each other to improve their knowledge and remind each other if they make mistakes.

Like you OP I fell for this kind of scam. One day a girl messaged me on Telegram. Asks many good and bad things about me. Then he helped me learn a lot about his work style. He gave me a site and told me to make an account there. That site was Walmart. There I account and complete the 60 orders given by him.  Many times during this period the balance was exhausted and the person loaded the balance. Later, I was asked to login with my account and complete 60 orders. After completing the order, I received a commission of $20. The next day I went to work the same way and completed his order.  And I log into my account and asked to research to complete my order. I recharged 20$ then after completing some orders asked to recharge again I recharged 40$ again there were some more orders left where asked to recharge more than 100$ then I did not research anymore and left it there.I realized that now I was stepping into deception. Anyway, if you are shown any such greed, then never step in this way.

This forum is designed so uniquely, the 2017 journey is the beginning of the introduction of the forum for me, a lot of information, education and even knowledge sources that I have got here, this forum is designed not only to earn money with cryptocurrency, but more than that so that makes this forum so special to me and everyone who is here. There are many reasons that drive people to be on this forum, the answers also still seem to vary and it is in this forum that you will find opportunities not to be deceived by the simple tricks of people and projects that keep popping up to this day

Bitcoin is just a big part of what drives some people to be in this forum and the only way to avoid losing money. Taking part in a bitcoin investment, will put money on the right track, because bitcoin can maintain the value of the investment that we make, although the risks cannot be ignored along the way.

Here is the largest concentration of the crypto society, here you can find answers to your questions, as well as get the opportunity to communicate with real people who deal with cryptocurrencies in practice, and not just in theory. I mainly read the news about the crypto market here, it is convenient and there is always the opportunity to discuss them with like-minded people. In addition, there is an opportunity to receive a small reward for your time and knowledge, which I really like, because I am always looking for an opportunity to earn extra money in order to invest it in bitcoin. I like to read and the forum suits me very well.

Thinking that investing in cryptocurrencies is a get-rich-quick scheme, you are wrong and in my opinion it is natural that you suffer losses because you invest without any knowledge and it seems that you invest because you are afraid to miss the train so you follow your friend's invitation without doing any analysis before investing in the project the.
Basically I'm here because I'm looking for a promising investment for the future and looking for experience or deeper knowledge about cryptocurrency investing so I don't make the wrong investment decision.

You seee, I'm afraid the same thing will keep happening buddy. Yes🙂 .... Maybe till you'll decide to erase the mindset of investing in ANY (so-called) crypto site to get your bucks doubled, tripled.... whatsoever.
Major Rule one: everything you see on the net wants to hurt you; Yes, virtually everything... I'm right to say that cus I'd leave you to your own discretions afterwards... (you'd have to learn from a genuine site like this just to know your left from right...then you'll get to know which way to follow)...stop making faulty ASSUMPTIONS, it's gonna end you in depression cus you'll end up loosing your whole life, while assuming everything you see is legit. Stop!!! For Christ sake..!!!! Stop saying " you've lost a thousand dolls already so you'll just need to go ahead until you find a place you can invest" ... Do you seriously have to loose that much to LEARN? when we've got BTT that could tutor you in a week and you become the real genius you ever dreamed of,( only of you're attentive, and also follow the rules ) -- the rules of investing, where to invest and how..
Seriously dude, life's not really though but, you could make 'em as hard as a walnut to crack. Just keep reading through the investment threads and ask questions, then you'll realize that, THAT would be of great contributions to the forum already -- think hard 🙂

Unfortunately, you have joined a ponzi-scheme where a certain company will offer absurdly high interest rates in a short-amount of time for your investment. I also fell into those trap OP back in 2018 where I also invested my hard-earned money and I lost everything in the process. Now that you know what things to avoid, you can also help the forum by looking for similar schemes and reporting them under the scam accusation board for newbies to see and to avoid.

I joined this forum back in 2017 with hopes of earning money to purchase a watch. That simple and linear mindset back in college is now converted to something bigger- I really dream of purchasing my very first car using the proceeds I earn from campaign signature. Hopefully by the end of 2023 right after I graduate in law school I would be able to achieve this dream!

Sorry for your loss and hope to see you learn from your experience which is no different from the experience of others around the forum who may have trusted in altcoins in the past.

But to a great extent, you are in the right forum where you will be thought how not to trust any project and also do your own research before you put your money into any project and never trust centralized projects.

Many people have different obligations while they found they are here, so from my understanding or perspectives, the most things that brings everyone here is the ability to have a meaningful interaction and solution of challenges facing cryptocurrencies and especially bitcoin,  because the main function we all have here is to induce a possible way we can achieve a positive things in crypto sphere and especially a technology that will enhanced the development of bitcoin through knowledge sharing. In this community of bitcointalk, the more important thing we achieve here is some knowledge behind Bitcoin.

The reason I am here is to discuss in the forum and also learn how to trade in bitcoin and understanding more about  crypto because I have  heard a lot about crypto, that crypto help in so many ways and I think as a beginner to know more in forum is the best way that will help to make the beginners to know how to perform in any activities that talks about crypto and many more important things in forums.

I joined Bitcointalk so that i can learn about the cryptocurrency, I am here contributing and help the forum with my knowledge because the forum is all about bitcoin.
I want to learn how to trade coin and also I want to learn about the forum, since cryptocurrency has help different communities, I want to abide by  the forum rules and regulations. I have heard a lot of people saying bitcoin have changed their life  am here to gain more knowledge about that. That's why am here

Invest in the best altcoins.

I am here because this platform is all about bitcoin talk and it's a platform that you will not just have a little knowledge but the whole knowledge that you ever wants in the whole wide world, in 2018 was my first time I heard about bitcoin but I know nothing about it then, because I never see anything serious about it, and I never know the benefits either, it was in 2019 that I knew more about bitcoin and I decided to give it my 100% attention, and it has changed my whole wide world, and also changed my generation whole wide world too.

There are a lot of things but will mention just a few, at first I saw my friend that doesn't know much things about Bitcoin start gaining more info about Bitcoin and start telling me things I'm not even aware of Bitcoin, when I asked him he told me about Bitcoin talk, So My love for Bitcoin and the urge to gaining more knowledge of things I don't know about  Bitcoin, and to stay up to date on the happenings around Bitcoin and the crypto world was the major thing.

I firstly came here to this form in order to learn everything about Bitcoin , mining, and many more. But later on I know that through this form we not only learn about cryptocurrency but also we can earn some handsome money through different things. Like participating in Bounties of newley launch project, as well as participating in Signature campaign of different project and also one of my favorite which is selling service like providing services of creating signature codes for project and also exchanging funds of users and many more.

I am here to learn.

There are a ton of old school plebs who have been in Bitcoin for a decade or longer and they have a lot of knowledge to pass along. For example, Satoshi's original posts are on here.

I am also on here to help educate. Those who have come before me have been incredibly helpful on my journey down the bitcoin rabbit hole. I am here to help others along their journey as well.

I am reminded of a Bruce Lee quote/paraphrase "Research your own experience; absorb what is useful, reject what is useless and add what is essentially your own."

I am here to do just that.

Your wish is really good, but if you want to enrich your knowledge about cryptocurrencies. You can read it on many trusted sites while learning the forums gradually, because then you can train yourself better when you are in the forum and can make a better contribution to the forum as you want it. And for some sites that you can visit to deepen your knowledge about cryptocurrencies besides this forum, they are;

• https://www.bloomberg.com/
• https://www.forbes.com/
• https://news.bitcoin.com/
• https://cointelegraph.com/

I got to know this forum after trading and it was a suggestion from a friend. After some time I was here, I got a lot of information about crypto faster. In fact I open this site more often than the Coindesk web or cointelegraph or other crypto-related websites. In other words a lot of useful information from here. We can compare what we know with others and that is very helpful in making decisions. Although I am currently enrolled in a BTC paid campaign it is a bonus for me. It made me even more eager to be useful in the forum.

First I'm here to improve my wealth of knowledge about cryptocurrency, learn more about the forum and give my own contribution.

Instead of rushing to find the ideal project to invest in, begin by acquiring the knowledge you need in our discussion in this forum on how to protect your cryptocurrency investment and how to invest wisely in bitcoin.

Investment in cryptocurrencies demands patience; it is not a quick way to get rich that you can expect to profit from without realizing how volatile it is. It is always advisable to DYOR before investing in crypto projects.

we all here actually have almost the same interests and goals - that is to invest in the right projects and make money from these projects or the bounties that are spread in this forum.  even though you lost $1000 because you invested your money wrongly in an HYIP project but you didn't give up and that amazed me at you.  failure is part of learning, keep the spirit and don't give up on losses in the past.

You can recovery your loss here in Bitcointalk forum, don't shy with your level account still newbie because all people have the same chance reach their account at higher level until Legendary. I am sorry with your loss in cryptocurrency investment, I have been in your position but all my capital used for trading and investing coming from Bounties campaign and spent half bounties payment for investing assets.

You have chance push up your account before earn money trough joining signature campaign, you can found many people have been success in this forum actually in era 2017 until 2020 many bounties campaign worth and I am lucky still exist until right now in Bitcointalk forum.

This is something I have learned here and am grateful for this opportunity of knowing this forum. This place has revealed so many different ways scammers get their victims and some times it is not even because the scammers use spells but because of the foolishness and greed of the victims that gets them into troubles. Except for those who are not ready to learn who will not find this place helpful if their only aim is to earn from bounties. This is a super forum.

I'm sorry for your loss. it's all a learning process, and I believe that with this experience you will be more successful later.
It's important to analyze the market well, have concrete and realistic goals and a clear exit strategy.
Why am I here?
8 years ago, there were not many places on the Internet where you could get information about crypto, meet the crypto community and learn something.
In the meantime I have met and befriended a lot of members here and that is the reason why I'm still here.
Should I mention that I met some of the members personally? 

For me I would say because of its diversity. I have been a member of the altcointalk community for quite some time now and during some discussions there I noticed that some altcointalk users are always mentioning Bitcoin talk so I decided to create an account here to see how it really looks like and to be sincere since I have been here even if I'm not that active here I can boldly say that all the features that were mentioned in altcointalk about bitcointalk is just so correct. Here you have users that have a vast knowledge about Bitcoin and some of them have been around since the creation of Bitcoin. all those out together are some of the reasons why I'm here today at bitcointalk.

I am here for insider information. I make investments in disruptive technology small-cap projects. Greater risks are associated with small cap projects, but there are also more chances for growth.

Previously im just observing here in the community too because I know to my self that I cant contribute yet a good quality response they give but after 2020 I  realize to create an account and decided to contribute as the other people do.  After a couple of years, I got achieved my hero rank member and achieved the legendary as one of my last journeys for the rank but still I continuously exploring, learning and sharing those to the other member most of the time people struggle with where to start with so I keep my purpose here.

You need to take it easy with your money, the more money comes, the more it would want to go, so be wise.

Try to learn cryptocurrency as much as possible on how you can make legit money in it, which includes trading, holding, farming, mining, staking and many more without putting your money at high risk. Also, you must be sure to make your research before dealing with any companies or forums online. Fortunately, you are already here (BTT) with the source, just browse through carefully and get acquainted with the forum, it would surely help you.

Rank could be member or full member at most. Don't remember exactly.

I don't have signed message, didn't know much about these things back then but have sent an email anyway. Let's see.

Yeah since you are Hero Member is actually good rank, what is your rank in the previous account?.

Here you can check in this thread  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/recovering-hackedlost-accounts-5089777 but yes you need at least can signed message with address that U use it before it get hacked.

and tips for you all guys my account was hacked because I'm using the same password and email for multiple accounts. AND DON'T DO THAT. use a unique password for other account, especially for bitcointalk since forum account is very valuable here 

How?

My current account has better rank than previous one so don't really care that much, neither did I 'staked' address of anything similar back then.

High Yield Investment Program is biggest scamming business and I don't thinks this gonna stop soon. I usually still get the DM from Unknown people that can give me a profit huge return. Please don't fall for that and keep educate yourself.

Me personally join bitcointalk because of curiosity I joined back in 2014 ago just to know more about the crypto world and ended up as a bounty hunter like now. the signature campaign and Translation give me good money back 2016 ago    and also because of this forum I can know more about crypto space.


My account got hacked for almost 2-3 years you can actually can recover it

Honestly, when I was told about this forum,I didn't know that it was mainly to educate people on the knowledge of Bitcoin and crypto currency on the whole.Since I was very good at reading and writing,I knew I was going to gain much if I should be one part of this community,so I decided to join the community,and since then,I can say I know so many things about Crypto now,how I can invest,trade and many more things I know now in crypto.
I also know I haven't known all I'm supposed to know,I'm still eager to know more about everything in crypto that's why I'm still here.

I vividly remember back in 2013/14 there was an Indian forum named ethicalhavoc. Members used to talk about Bitcoin there, by searching about it stumbled upon here.

Although this is my second account as first one got hacked in bitcointalk hack

One would think that something can be learned over the years, but you yourself admit that this is not the case. The world of cryptocurrencies is mostly made up of illusions and scams, the sooner you realize that, the more money you will have left in your pocket.


Right project? Do you think that everyone on this forum is honest and with good intentions, and that the projects you will find here are exactly what you are looking for? Maybe it will surprise you, but the scams on this forum are not even moderated, and if you continue to be naive, that $1000 will at some point seem like a very small amount.


I heard that Satoshi Nakamoto will appear one day and send all active members at least 1 BTC, so I said why not be here when that happens Just kidding of course

Why I am here? Honestly, a friend of mine told me this forum he is an investor in a crypto world but when I heard about this forum I don't have any interested about this until he thought me that this is his alma mater which is he learn a lot of knowledge about investing and that the reason why he try to invest. So without further a do ill grab that opportunity to be part of this community and I am not regreting that I am here cause my knowledge will grow about crypto. cause before I enter here I don't have any knowledge about crypto and also don't know what is bitcoin and what is crypto currencies.

The reason I am here sometimes feels as if fate has led me because any person that is serious about bitcoin will eventually end up here I believe.

I was one of those people who were interested in making money online and especially with trading/ crypto etc. but every time I would learn a certain way, I would want to hold off from starting and really think through or try to find a person that is really making a living off of that thing. You know, and the more research I did, the more I realized, I should keep learning and studying all the while staying away from all those self-claimed gurus that want to teach you how to make a big amount fast.

I also somehow found out that the real people who are making money or making such big amounts would never ever advertize it or try to teach it to other people in return to a couple of thousand dollars. I am not saying a couple of thousand dollars is not a big money, it is, in fact, it is a huge money where I am, but imagine you are the person that is making so much in one hour, would you go teaching people how to do that and bring more competition ?

So, this is really against normal logic, and the people who actually make that much, possess more than just normal logic. I belive. 


Thus, with all this understanding, and realization, I am here to learn more and make an educated decision when the time comes!

Coming to bitcointalk is most likely related to making having an urge to make enquiry about bitcoin and after several attempts and sites visited then you either concluded on coming here and landed here coincidentally but there must actually be a thing you're after to learn or seek attention for with you getting introduced to bitcoin, now here on the forum now depends how you also find it helpful and supportive, and this comes in with seeing members coming to stay while some left immediately they are attended to but it's such a community one will always love to interact and share ideas about bitcoin.

Truly sorry for your losses. Menhh you must have gone through a lot emotionally and mentally but i hope you discovering this forum will help you alot in your journey in the cryptospace.
I joined this forum due to the interest i developed for bitcoin but i was guided by a friend who is familiar with the forum. The news of how bitcoin has been so good in my locality was the current trend everywhere, although bitcoin was banned in my country as an illegal currency but that didn't stop people from trading through peer to peer transaction all around. I was confused about bitcoin at first, but since i joined i have been able to understand alot and i have also turned an investor in bitcoin by purchasing some reasonable amount of bitcoin and hodling it for a long term investment. I never believed i would even be the telling people about bitcoin now and all that is because of the forum and the knowledge i have gotten from the forum.

All users have a specific reason for joining bitcointalk.org, this forum is not about how you make money, but much more than that. There are so many benefits that can be taken in this forum, the motivation is to find information about Bitcoin, marketing needs, add insight. Newbies can focus and target to gain knowledge that can speed them up to a new rank, in this way they can quickly adapt to the forum and can reduce spam postings.

Sorry for your losses and I believe you learn from your mistake this time.
Newbies don't heard to advice unless they are victim of it. Any pay one and get two scheme is a scam. No one is willing to give you a stranger butter. Be wise.

Am sure you have decided to put a stop on your search ever since you discovered this forum and also understand the difference it has from others you've seen before now, and now that your taste has be satisfied i hope you will be active and take tood advantage of here as a learning ground, everyone here has decided to stay because of the level of professionalism here and the standard of sourcing for reliable bitcoin information, just as you've asked, am also here to contribute my all best to the forum growth and development altogether.

This forum does have a lot of history related to bitcoin. the origin of this forum is also because bitcoin inventors want more intense discussion about bitcoin and bitcoin enthusiasts to get together to exchange their thoughts for the development of bitcoin.


This forum is a major source of knowledge for cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin. but when we talk about making money from this forum, it seems more and more interesting and more people start coming. even though it's not just about money people join this forum.

I came here to find like minded people who were interested in bitcoin. I had some questions about full nodes, bitcoin wallets and some other things and people here had the knowledge that I needed.
While being here I found out you could make money posting and I won't hide that this was one of the reasons why I spent so much time here. To this day this is the only online forum that I use and I still like it. I thought it would get boring after a few years but it's still good to be here.

I developed an interest in bitcoins and stumbled on this forum. I didn't have complete access to all the information in all the boards because I was not a member so I had to sign up and join. The reason I'm still here is because nobody has asked me to invest like some other websites that have bitcoins in their name do (obvious scams). I enjoy contributing my own perspectives to discussions as a matter of fact I look forward to it daily as it has become a part of my lifestyle. I love bitcointalk and I'll be here giving my own little contributions for a long time.

I agree 100% that this forum is unique. Moreover, the participants of bitcointalk including. So many different and interesting people, whose opinion is useful to hear. This is a unique opportunity to gain valuable experience, useful knowledge and information.

Also, for me, the forum still has some historical value - it was from this that the development of crypto and crypto currencies began, it was here that the founding fathers communicated, which adds its own special flavor.

Here, not all conversations revolve around making money on crypto currencies, not only about ways to save your savings, but also on many other topics. But the main attraction of the forum is that the community is very active. Some events are constantly taking place, contests and raffles are held, in general, life is seething here. Almost everyone can find here interesting directions for themselves, of course, on the topic of crypto currencies or contiguous areas.

As I remember, I came to learn more about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency through the recommendation of a friend. I had limited knowledge of the concept, so I was looking for sources of information that I could trust. Bitcointalk.org is a good resource for learning about the technical details of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, as well as staying up-to-date with the latest developments in the industry. The forum is a place where users can ask questions, share their thoughts and ideas, and engage with other users who are interested in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. This can be a great way for newbies to learn more about the topic and get answers to their questions. This can also be a great opportunity to connect with other like-minded individuals and potentially even collaborate on projects or business ventures.

With lots of advices and various experienced people helping you out with your questions (if they have not been asked before mainly) and even to repeated questions, this forum is a hub of of great contributions and rewards for the same. Newbies either come here to learn more about crypto or to earn it by contributing and getting ranked up and participate in various ways of earning including signature campaigns, raffles, contests (art, signature design, etc.) and so on.

You have really passed through a tough time and I hope this time you are going to be fortunate. Well cryptocurrency is diverse and having this kind of knowledge would give you an edge to understand fully how the market works and since you have had these kind of opportunity, I hope you will take a better decisions. I think you are in the right place to be and you will have to ask questions on where you don't understand so that you can have an adequate knowledge. My experience was not as similar to this and I hope you will do better this time.

Honestly, I was at first here to get money because I saw my friends are very successful in getting money from cryptocurrency, one of them is by earning money from this forum.
After being here and doing many tasks, I was aware that earning money here is not as easy as I see. And moreover, the condition has been different in the past. This was hard. However, I didn't know exactly what to do. But, experiences told me much. Experiences from myself and also from many members here really taught me many things that to earn much money, to get worthier, I must learn more and more. And never expect to be rich because of those forums. However, I didn't know many things. Additionally, this is not enough, crypto is complex. I also started to get money from ding airdrop and also future trading. And these failed because I was really a newbie and didn't know anything, but only following any signal. Well, this is a worthy lesson.

And please, for everyone who is new here, you need to set first what you want here. This is not the forum where you will need extra money easily because it is not as easy as you may think. Try to learn more before expecting, so you can consider at what level you are and what to do to reach a higher level.

Investing in crypto is a high risk, never believe someone who promises you big profits easily by investing in shit tokens, I had this bad experience, shit tokens will only make those people who really know the ways to utilize pump and dump, only for the developer teams that earn money from victims, but for newbies, this is harmful and high risk because you are on their traps.

I have shared my journey here in Bitcointalk and why I joined this forum. On 2018, I was taught by someone I know personally and guided me what he knows about this forum and what I can do in this forum. During that year, ranking up an account doesn't require merit in order to rank up. Days later after I joined the forum where the merit is implemented which is the additional new rank requirement to rank up. Before the merit implementation, my goal is to increase my rank through posting where as I have explained that ranking up doesn't require merit. The reason for that is because of bounty campaigns that I can participate and also earn money. To make it short, I joined forum to earn money which is what I was taught before when I know about Bitcoin and Bitcointalk forum. Anyways, that was before and all those time I spent in this forum is what made me know the things I know about cryptocurrency until now.

When I first joined this forum it was to learn about wallets and exchanges. I wanted to buy bitcoin and hold it as a store of value and inflation hedge and I knew that we were in a bear market, so the time was right. It have me exactly what I wanted. I've learned so much here about the importance of self-custody and hodling. Thanks to this community I managed to avoid all exchange collapses and cloud mining scams and I still have coins that I bought back in 2015 and 2016.

My message to all the newbies who think they're too late for the party: people who were joining in 2013 thought the same! Then came 2014 and people thought it was all over and every single year people register here and abandon their accounts thinking they came too late.

Quoting for visibility of the photo for others.

Well it'd be like that sometimes, OP.

I hope you are doing well now these days though. I am not familiar with that MYER thing, but surely if I hear investing to a third party crypto miner, I am pretty sure that it is a scam.
Since you are already here, just telling ya that you might not need other project to invest to, maybe just call it to Bitcoin and leave it. Considering how common crypto is mentioned now these days in addition of random NFTs everywhere, I would not be surprised that a lot are scams now these days.

Invest in Bitcoin to put an end to all fraudulent projects. Any other projects besides Bitcoin are vulnerable to fraud because they are overseen by a group of people who own shares in the project or the CEO of that particular project; as a result, when a problem arises, they simply sell their shares or abandon ship, putting an end to the projects.

This is a forum that accommodate si many people around the world to share ideas about Bitcoin. I join the forum to learn about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

Well as I a newbie I was here due to curiosity, my story is quite long and I have already said it here before, in brief I am here out of the curiosity of Bitcoin, I can here to actually understand it more than I was first taught.

But I would be honest to say I have then built other interest since coming here and I have had wholistic development in my crypto-currency knowledge. This forum is probably on the top list for education and even giving people rewards for services.

In the days of ignorance, mistakes are inevitable. Sorry for your loss mate and I am glad you have submitted your self to learning despite been around the crypto space since 2018. The Forum is full of so much information, and here at B&H is a good place to start. Have it in mind, any centralized network is bound to face one out of two things, either they get compromised and fold up or they get compromised and get regularized. The same was what happened to the so-called MYER that drowned your investment. Bitcoin remains the king of all Crypto and never compromise your keys, so your coin will be all yours

This forum is a great place for newbies to learn about crypto. Here you will also find information about the various scams that crypto users can fall prey to. That means any newbie who spends some time in this forum to learn about crypto will know how not to lose money. Sorry for your loss, but you made such a loss because of your lack of awareness about lucrative scams. Hope you learn from your past mistakes.

Here is Bitcointalk forum, and the focus is on Bitcoin here and not altcoins and for good reason too. Bitcoin was the first and has been the most consistent cryptocurrency, having all the qualities of privacy and trustlessness. This means that most here have a leaning towards bitcoin and would try to convince others to do so to.

If there's something you'll definitely not learn here, it's how to get rich quick.
Read replies and join discussions with an open mind. Do not be desperate to get a project to invest into and get lots of profits, there's more to the crypto space than that.

feel sorry for your loss! invest in a project that ends in a scam - we've all experienced the same thing, don't give up and stop looking for another project to invest in just because of that bad experience. I hope you can do that (contribute well to this forum).


can I answer based on my personal experience first, because I was ever a newbie!  the reason I joined this forum was to make money from Bitcoin and crypto, incidentally, when I first joined, there were many altcoin projects that gave big bounty rewards but over time, I realized that that was a pretty stupid reason to stay in this forum, many lessons that I learned in this forum and it is far more valuable than money.

Welcome to the forum mate. At bitcointalk.org you have the luxury to learn from and share crypto currency knowledge with experts. Your journey has been a sadden one so as almost every new investor of crypto currency but don't give up because the grind is real.

Before going further I would let me advice you that the right projects you are vying for is bitcoin. Although other investors invest in other altcoins but to me that risk is way too high for newbies to go into.

My purpose of been here was to learn about crypto currency and since coming into the forum my perspective has been shapen well. Secondly I also earn from signature campaigns.

I was lead by a friend who out of pity for a cheap scam I fell for  lead me to this forum to acquire more knowledge of the field I intend diving.
I lost over $400 dollar to those scammers and I felt so bad because it all my life savings as at them and I guess I fell for them out of my greed to make more money and possibly double my money but it was an eye opener for me as there are no free money anywhere.
I'm sorry for your loss mate and we're both in this shoes together and I want to assure you that the forum is one of the best place for you to be and you should always be bold enough to ask any question you need clarification on.

I truly feel sorry for that since I am aware of how difficult it can be to lose money, especially when you were hoping for a significant return.

As I always say, everyone has a reason for visiting the forum, and with my simple observations I have seen that many people are there to learn more about how to secure their cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin, while others are there to help those in need. As for me, I am here to learn because many people, in particular, want to know more about Bitcoin and how it functions as an investment.

Welcome to this forum, I commend your resilience and commitment not to be discouraged in your journey investing. If you are seeking a good project to invest in, rather than wasting money around, invest in bitcoins! It remains your surest option.

My reason for being in this forum has evolved just as my ranks have grown. When I was a newbie, my number purpose for being here was to learn about bitcoins. Now that I have good knowledge about bitcoins, my reason for being here is because of the benefit of being among a community of persons that have same interest as I do.

I do agree with you. Once you have better foundation in cryptocurrency. You can easily separated the projects which may give you a profit or take your savings. That is also one of my primary reason why I engaged in forum. Hoping to become more knowledgeable in cryptocurrency soon.


Good for you! I think I was one of the unlucky people in cryptocurrency. Yet, my failures still igniting me to continue what I had started.

I’m obviously not a newbie but the reason I first came here was curiosity. I had heard about bitcoin & multiple times toyed with myself about investing but I kept putting it off. I bought some & then did lots more research to try & confirm to myself that I’d done a good thing.

I found the forum & have actually discovered it to be a real waterfall of knowledge. Some really smart people here you can soak up info & really learn things that aren’t always possible from just picking up a book.

Sorry for your loss. I also have a similar background, I first started my crypto journey in telegram. Unknown to me at the time, telegram was/is a haven for scammers, any scam whatsoever I’m sure you’d find them on telegram cloud mining, hyip, trading bots, advance fee fraud, paid signals, fixed bets and so on. Even the most genuine-looking platform on telegram could be scam. Luckily for me, I didn’t lose my money and my search for a good platform to discuss bitcoin led me here.

I have been speculating the forum since I created my account. I am a newbie here in forum but I already knew cryptocurrency since 2018. But all I know is to invest and trade my money only.

I started my trading journey in 2019 and it did not bring a lot of profits. Luckily, I am hired in my company this 2022 and I opened my eyes again for the cryptocurrency opportunity. I came back with my initial investment to my friend.

I invested in MYER, a cryptocurrency platform that gives a positive ROI (For pioneers). When I invested, I thought I will become a millionaire by this time. Not until I found out, that this crypto farming was a SCAM. It scammed many of my co-workers who invested also in this HYIP.

I did not learn from my past mistakes and yet, I was still aggressive. I lose more than 1000 dollars because of my ignorance.

Here is my last photo of that Crypto Farming Scam:

Now, I discovered the different forums in cryptocurrency as well as this forum. Hoping to learn more about cryptocurrency and how it really works. I will not stop until I can invest in a right project and contribute a lot in this forum.

So for the newbies like me, why did you join bitcointalk.org?
