Topic: Why rush, instead of taking your time to learn about the forum ? (Read 431 times)

Sometimes, rushing up could help in a whole lotta ways.. remember, when you get registered, time begins to tick - peeps are also looking at your activity level and effectiveness... Sometimes you'd ask why? You cannot attest to your efficacy over time in here without posting - Not just posting but, posting valuable documentaries, threads, guidelines and giving solutions to people's problem.. That's exactly where the quote comes in "study to show yourself approved" ... Without much pain, merit will begin to flow in... But what if you don't wanna rush and you begin to relent? name a verdict for yourself then...lol

It's certain that people rush learning the forum because there are a lot of profit opportunities awaits for them in the later part. And they think that they can successfully achieve them without taking their time learning in the forum. And that's their biggest mistake that continue to blind them.

They will only learn their lesson once they stumble in the end. And by that time, they will start learning the forum again hoping they can correct all their mistakes and not committing the same errors again.

   Believe me when I say that every time you spent here in the forum is not a waste rather you’re further giving yourself a better insight about the forum. I’m glad you are able to meet this trend, at least you can learn a thing or two from the thread. When you follow the due process of the forum one day you will see your self in the upper echelon of the forum remember that slow and steady wins the race. No knowledge here is lost cause you can use it anywhere. You are also building your mind by reading every single detail that is on here, some people may see it as stress or ambiguous going through these tiny pieces of information. To me it’s another level of discipline and patience. After all that’s what the forum is all about discipline and patience. These two virtues will see you go far in the forum.
   Don’t give up on learning new things everyday because we learn everyday. Understand the concept of the forum and try and to visit the forum everyday. Try to visit the beginners and help thread more often to further clarify your questions. Never be scared to ask questions I’m sure we have people who are willing to help. The whole point is for us here to work as team.

To be honest, I felt dumb. Not because I couldn't convince them but because I wanted to help them for free. There is a saying: do not start any debate with illiterate people. There was no point in joining the debate.


True. A guy sent me a private message asking what a good wallet to store Bitcoin and USDT is. Surely, he has seen the point I mentioned in their comment section. But, as you may know, Bitcoin is banned here. So, If anyone asks me If I use Bitcoin or any crypto, I used to say NO. But when people ask for help, sometimes I have to answer them. Now, I am using a fake account to answer them.

As a newbie, I mean, in the beginning, I was in too much of a rush to climb the ranks too quickly. for which I was chasing talent but no knowledge. As a result of my lack of sufficient knowledge, I find myself confused in the lot of posts, which can be called "mess." But suddenly some posts came in front of me, which really helped me to read. After reading the post, my misconception was shattered, and I now agree that merit is not everything. not by running after talent but by reading posts to increase my own scope of knowledge, which can be properly applied by reading every board post. Because the community not only discusses Bitcoin but also many important topics that I wouldn't have known if I hadn't spent time in the community. In fact, it takes time to understand something properly. So I am giving myself time on the forum, and I also know that I will not waste this time.

Whenever a person rushes the process, they tend to fail since it shows poor effort and lack of understanding the fundamentals.

I mean, it is never bad to dream big and to think of earning hundreds of BTCs at the same time. But as for everything, it involves a series of steps/processes that cannot be rushed at the same time. The person has to understand all the basics/fundamentals before they can even start some of the technical terms that are involved.

I have personally seen newbies who specifically joined this forum for signature campaigns and they tend to show perform poorly due to their lack of any understanding on the matter. Like what I mentioned, when you chase for merits, you will gain nothing.

That is why, learn and read respectively. Be inquisitive and be curious- this is not a race but a beautiful journey that can potentially give you profitable returns if you play your cards right.

Although this started as a Bitcoin forum, it's worth more than that at the moment because of the addition of the different boards that brings about different discussion. All information that you need can be gotten from the forum which means you can also learn different things on the forum. As a newbie, what you should be more concerned about is learning and not looking for merit to rank up and chase after signature campaign. The campaigns are just a privilege that can be taken from you at anytime so that shouldn't be your focus on the forum. Develop yourself while you're here and aim above the forum because there's more to achieve in the outside world that the forum can help build you for. I always say there's a lot of wisdom to be gotten from the forum and it's left for you to decide if you'll be among those gaining those wisdom or not.


Shortcuts deny you the privilege of gaining the knowledge that comes from passing through the process. Shortcuts makes it impossible to teach others how to achieve what you have achieved because you didn't pass through the whole process of achieving success both on and off the forum. Shortcuts can only get you to a point and it leaves you there but those that genuinely pass through the process can go as further as possible. An example is an account that get helps though reviews always ends up not having merits after they get to a specific rank and the help stop coming from the reviewers but that users that was gaining merits on his own, no matter how small will keep getting merits as his keep contribution positively on the forum. I'm not saying account reviews or giveaway threads are bad but there's always a clear different between users that ranked up through those means and the one earning merits on his own.

Normally and ideally, before we go in and start something, we have to learn a few things first, especially the basic things that are important and fundamental. So at least even when we are newbies, we already have some insight. That's ideal and normal.

However, what often happens is that there are usually a lot of newbies who only hear about how this forum can make money and in the end they are interested in creating an account and starting posting without studying or at least reading some information first. And they feel that they have to immediately get money from this forum even though they don't yet understand what this forum is and what the mechanisms are in it. And this happens often.

When I first started here, I spent a long time just because I wanted to focus on making money quickly but was too lazy to study. So I actually wasted a lot of time. In the end, again, whoever is in this forum, is obliged to study and read various things in this forum in order to contribute optimally and produce things that meet expectations.

The only reason why people rush into learning the forum because of their greed that push them to enter bitcointalk forum so they can invest or trade later on. They are never concerned actually with the facts and ideas that they can gained from the forum, but they are more concerned on the profits that they can gain from successful trading or investing. Without knowing that everything starts in the forum, if they are not well-knowledgeable and well-skilled on their chosen career, then the rate of being unsuccessful remains high.

This is the reason why we should never rush and take a shortcut to be successful. The forum has a lot of knowledge to share and real-life experiences to learn from, so its a must to start learning the forum well before proceeding into investing or trading, or even participating in signature campaigns.

The issue with people who believe they are well educated is that, in reality, they have very little knowledge, but they will never accept this since they always believe they are right and no matter how hard you attempt to teach or correct them, they will never learn since they believe what they know is the best.

We wouldn’t have been much different from them if we were not a member of this forum. I myself would have been taken down the drain by a friend who used to be into cryptocurrency. It was during my early days in the forum when i have learned something about crypto and wallets, this friend visited me and saw some crypto apps on my mobile phone and asked if i was into crypto,  I answered “a little “. Ever since then he have been disturbing me with different messages to invest in different coins and he will even claim if I invest i will make double of my investment in a few weeks, i will just laugh and reply okay bro. After carrying out my research I always find out they shitcoins with no future. After sometime I asked him how far about our investment he will reply don’t worry it’s going well. I never invested in any of those coins all thanks to bitcointalk for impacting so much knowledge in me.

If i had not been part of this forum I would have wasted so much money on shitcoins I know nothing about, this forum taught me to always research before investing in anything. To be a part of this forum is a blessing on its own because every knowledge here is useful. Knowledge cannot be forced on anyone, they need to show interest before you can think of teaching it to them but a lot of them are not ready to be taught so all you can do is let them be, after a couple of mistakes they will also learn one way or another, they will learn from their mistakes and those who store coins in custodial wallets will learn when they get hacked or scammed. I don’t pray that for them but i think it is the only way they can learn.

The clearest reason that explains the state of rush experienced by forum newbies is that most of them are directed to the forum on the grounds that it is an easy way to make money before it is even defined as an appropriate space for learning and one of the most important sources of knowledge about Bitcoin and blockchain. Thus, their primary goal, once they register an account, is to learn about ways to earn money, the most prominent of which is joining one of the signature campaigns, which in turn grants the highest reward to users with old memberships. Therefore, upgrading membership is their first goal, and accordingly, they commit many mistakes that often lead to the attendance of their accounts or their failure to obtain merit points to upgrade their memberships.

A merit system has been integrated to avoid spam waves caused by this rush. However, it can be noted that a small number of new accounts are here to learn and gain experience. In the same sense as learning, beginners would have known that achieving financial profits from using the forum does not necessarily pass through upgrading membership to join bounty and signature campaigns, because the forum provides a good space for investing personal skills and experiences in exchange for money.

For me, this realization often comes not actually to newbies who are starting to explore the forum, but for those who are losing a lot because they think that bitcoin is a get rich quick and so they need to make learning fast and decide to trade or invest, or join signature campaigns. People only learn after they have made errors and losses, and probably that's the time that they will go back to the basic and take time learning.

Apparently, this should be our first mindset before taking risk in the crypto market. But only few are able to realize this as majority are eager to learn and earn after.

When one  is rushing to be faster that the shadow a lot of mistakes will  take place which can be very difficult to  later correct them. It is better take their time and learn very well, this will make them to enjoy the forum and do things right the way it is supposed to be done. Beginners who fail to learn the rules of the forum always fall victim of breaking the rules of the forum.

Taking good time to learn is not a waste of time, people feel it is boring to learn and they can get things they want in shortcuts, learning bring good results. Their is gain in learning.

But that's where the wrong mentality lies, this forum is specifically meant for bitcoin discussion, other things we see here are just added advantages and opportunities to make us enjoy our time being together here.


Isn't it more better that when you find yourself amidst a condition you know nothing about, you should make enquiry or watch to learn first before going too far, we almost encourage newbies to post less and read more in other for them to learn and get used to the forum, they can also through this leaning process avoid making mistakes.

They might feel you were dump but I put it to you that you're not, so far you're trying to teach them the right thing, one thing I believe is that learning is a constant process in life, no matter the degree one has acquired there are still other aspects of life that they're yet to learn, what I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't be discouraged when you try to enlighten people about a particular thing and end up being mocked by them, that shouldn't stop you from passing a message to other people when you can.
 Not everyone is the same and I believe there are people out there that would be willing to give you listening ears, all you have to do Is focus on them, and allow the one's who claim to know it all make mistakes, there are chances that they'll still fall back to you begging and paying to know what you would've taught them for free.

The problem is when you talk to someone who does not understand what you are talking about; they are unlikely to value your words. The worst thing happens when you talk in a public group, and they all start trolling you because they disagree. For example, when all of them started suggesting Binance, and I said it's a centralized exchange, and you should avoid it, all of them started laughing at me because they thought I was a dumb guy, and they were correct. In such a situation, I find myself helpless and ask them to search for it on Google. Most of the time, they continue to troll and ignore suggestions!

To be honest, if you are in a rush to make money without having the necessary knowledge, you won't be able to make money through Bitcoin for very long. However, if someone truly wants to continue making money through Bitcoin, they should calm down and learn so they have proper knowledge about the cryptocurrency industries. As a matter of fact, knowledge must come before all else. op Now that you have swiftly realized your errors, you only need to take the appropriate actions on time to continue learning the procedures required to learn about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. I'm really delighted for you.


Everything in life happens gradually, much like when you plant a seed and watch it develop into a large tree. Similar to this, knowledge develops like a plant in a forum where members share and learn from one another if they follow the appropriate procedures. A forum is a great place where different people offer their own views, so it's entirely normal to ask questions about stuff you don't know. Thus, don't be afraid to ask questions and allow your knowledge to expand.

Many of us discover this forum with the hope of earning money through activities like airdrops or bounties. It can be overwhelming for newcomers who may feel lost amidst numerous threads, unsure where to begin. Some, driven by a desire for quick gains, might skip reading guidelines and directly ask questions. However, success here is tied to our intentions. Newcomers focusing solely on monetary gains may find short-term benefits, but those embracing the community spirit and understanding the forum's rules are likely to have a more enduring and faster growth. It's about balancing intention with engagement for a fruitful and lasting experience.

back in my earliest day in this forum, before merit system is applied and there are not many signature campaign that paid in Bitcoin like now, I never thought about forum ranks, I came to this forum to earn some money and find some job actually, but I never really thought about forum ranks. The newcomers nowadays is immediately exposed to signature campaign with quite good payment and it increasing along with their forum ranks, that's what motivate them rushing to get higher rank.

It's better that you realized your lapses early and corrected your mistake. If you are here to learn, then you can also make money on forum with time, there is joy in learning and making money, but most newbies don't want to learn, they just want to make money. Most people are just here because of money, some of them don't even care to know what the forum is all about, they just have the belief that immediately they join, they will start making money. They don't care to go through the forum rules and regulations to know what the forum is against. That's why most newbies always end up plagiarizing, they just copy from other places without adding source thinking they can easily receive merit if they do that.

If you are too desperate to get merit, don't be surprised that you won't be getting it. But if you are posting freely just to make a contribution to the forum, don't be surprised, that's when you will start receiving merit. Just make your own impact on the forum, and you can also learn here, with time you will be able to rank up your account.
