Bitcoin Forum

For those experienced people in Bitcoin, any encouragement to us beginner that may motivate us further to strive more in the world of bitcoin ? any experiences that you can share when you were still a beginner that pushed you to make it to the next level ?

At the beginning it's some sort of overwhelming but you have to push trough,if you just keep reading articles,engaging in the community it will get easier.You won't be able to understand everything easily,just take your time,also try to post here as often as you can,get in touch with people who are already doing great things in the BTC world.I felt pretty confused but I just didn't give up

Read a book or two about Bitcoin. Just reading articles, participating in this forum and watching youtube is not enough to understand Bitcoin, since it's mostly opinions or opinion flavored things you will see. Also it'll never be as systematic and complete as a solid book.

I encourage the beginners not to live up with their status, learn to take bigger risk and go out of your comfort zone. There are a lot of earning opportunity here thru working and investing and that involves a lot of patience when you are still a beginner or a newbie. What makes you matured along the way is when you make mistakes and you learn from it, do not be afraid to fall and continue educating yourself.

I start on bitcoin last year, And my first experience is not good because at that time, HYIP and Ponzi scam are trending on bitcoin, And i'm being scam many times because i always tempted to the Interest plan they offer, I'm not aware on the risk on investing on hyips that time. Until i discover this forum and start joining campaign and participating on ICO of altcoins. Don't be discourage if you failed on your first try, Just explore, and i suggest to do some research on altcoins because  they can be a good source of income if you explore it.

I started here with the guidance of my mentor he teach me of basic info that I can use to guide me to the right direction while doing my part like reading and searching for the answers for my questions because all our questions are already have an answer that we will found here in bitcointalk. The only thing we need to practice as a beginner is to read and follow the rules.

As a newbie we need to listen from the advice of well experienced members but be patience also because there are some fake accounts that the purpose is to scam us..so to know if they are not a good members of this organization we will see that some of them have negative trust and our weapon is to learn more by reading more threads that gives more informations.

Thanks. I started reading articles and news about Bitcoin so that I can interact more and answers questions confidently in the Bitcoin community.

A simple encouragement for beginners in Bitcoin world is we can make more money there.
Yeah usually the people when we are talking about money, they will be interested.
Then we can learning for beginners how to make money/bitcoin here.

I also did that, the truth is I was pissed with the people that have higher ranks because when theybare asked about a certain topic they will say to read in this topic because they give it all, how did that help us beginners? Not all articles are that straight forward answers that us readers can understand it thats why we are asking the idea of the people here, and theyre answer will be read articles here in the forum. Wow, Just remove the Help in the title Beginners  and Help, just put Beginners there.

If you want to learn something, it can and is expected that you put some effort into it. So did everyone before you who has knowledge in a certain field.
Usually more advanced member will gladly help you and answer your questions, but beginners tend to ask always the same basic questions. This is because there understanding is not good enough to ask more advanced questions. So pretty much every beginners question was answered here already many times. If someone tells you to read something somewhere ti is usually because your question is answered there and better answered than the person telling you to read it could do this.
I gave the advice to read a book, because Bitcoin is a big and complex topic. A book covers 1000s of question and in an order that makes sens. It would be much harder, more time intensive and i doubt that you would cover it all, if you would ask every single question on this forum and someone would answer. Would you rather read a list with the numbers 1 to 1000 on a paper sheet and be done or would you prefer to ask people for random numbers between 1 and 1000 on this forum and hope you will eventually cover it all?

That makes sense, though not all of them really answered the same question but making their post count reach the maximum post of the signature campaign. And the truth is I am really putting effort to gain knowledge about bitcoin so I can use it and giving it to the newbies that may ask it. But, as a lone ranger, I cant hunt good or understandable articles because the more I find, the more it gets complicated because of the informations that is available making me anxious and really pissed and puzzled.
I think it is really a good idea htitting the books than the internet. But I still need the internet for some terms that I may encounter reading them. I hope high rank people are like you that give this kind of information, unlike some spammers just doing it to earn some. Thank you.

I would encourage beginners to understand the underlying technology of Bitcoin. Would also appreciate if they come up with good ideas.

yes, that would be the best coz newbies are in the the dark searching for limelight of success in bitcoin tech.

Talk to your family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and shopkeepers about Bitcoin... and not in a "it's going to the moon" sense but in a "whoa, this new technology is cool, have you heard of this? Do you use this?" Ask shopkeepers if they accept bitcoin for payment.

Oh, and don't worry about the price fluctuations and try not to get too swept up in the alt coin scene (must of them are rubbish).

For me it was curiosity and fascination. Simple as that. Bitcoin is true revolutionary technology. I wanted to know more and more so i red and red, used it to learn faster, watching bitcoin documentaries etc.
Now im here, you are at the beggining of the road but it will give great fruits if u manage till end :).
Practice, read and lastly, welcome aboard!

What it’s your motivation for being here? That is the most important thing here, if you want to earn money through bitcoin, then the best you can do is to being to learn right now as much as you can and raise money so when you finally get the knowledge necessary you can start immediately and try to make money.

Something that can encourage you to use Bitcoins is that you can earn it by many different ways on the internet and "anonymously", at least without the necessity to give ID, to have a bank account...

If you are a young person, a child or a teenager, you can earn some money to buy stuff you like online, like games without use another's credit cards and informations, it's a nice way to be financial independent on the internet.  :)

I think just basic Google search will suffice. People must do research before asking silly things.

My experience is: As a novice of BTC, you should first learn about the knowledge of the associated block chain and know what is the distributed book database. Then, choose a few books related to BTC. In the forum and more high-level members of the exchange. Beware of being deceived. And then try to participate in BTC transactions. Slowly will grow.

Don't worry if you don't get many of the technical terms we may talk about on this forum.

Don't get scared if you don't understand something. Make sure you ask on the forum so that you can get the correct answer from an established member of the forum. We welcome questions here.

And finally - good luck with your bitcoin journey!

I think the reason why some members just reply that you read this article and that, is because even though they try to explain it to us by what they understand from it, they know that  we will still not know or understand the meaning of what they are saying until we read and understand the bigger picture of what we were asking about. So that's why they keep on telling us that we read a lot of articles so that we can easily understand things that are difficult for us to comprehend.

Sharing my experience....

I encourage you to learn Photoshop, article writing and website development as you can earn a significant amount of bitcoins through freelancing. People will hire freelancer to write articles, tweak photos and create web pages and then pay them with bitcoins.

Stay away from bitcoin doublers and do a background check before investing on a bitcoin website.

Apart from the obvious, reading posts and whatever information you can get your hands on, here's a really useful tip on these forums: look at the Technical Discussion thread and pay attention to users who are Staff Members or Hero/Legendary. Click on their profiles, see their last posts. It's not all relevant or important but in general, they'll point you to threads with very good information and are usually well-written which are otherwise buried in all the junk.

Bitcoin is completely decentralized currency which can use for investments also, Bitcoin is one of the best cryptocurrency where all other altcoins depend on bitcoin only. Many people thinking about bitcoin will not survive from the governments, but it already emerges into many different government sectors like trading, banks etc.

I can say is that on bitcoins you need discipline and patience since at first you will start at the lowest just like any other earning site does. Don't lose hope strive for more. Just do Signature Campaigns at first  but you need to increase your rank by making post without sacrificing its quality. As the time goes by when your rank is on legendary (an estimate of year) you'll be earning much larger than the first you start so go for it.

I will answer you from another perspective because you asked about encouragement and motivation. Do you want to be financially free? Do you think that you can trust the technology without any required intermediary entities (banks)? Do you want to be among the pioneers worldwide in the most revolutionary and innovative technology of the 21st century till now? If you answer 'yes' to all of them then you are welcome. If you are tenant and patient you will try to face all hassles and you will go to next level as you posted.

To add to what others have replied to this treat- for you not to be discouraged avoid ponzi advert on this forum, don't go for faucets and don't  investment in any business advertising here without your own background checks. I will also advised you to always visit bitcoin discussion on this forum as there a lot of power issues based discussion.

Well it was free money coming from computers just by running some simple software and grilling your GPU. Then there was this forum where likeminded folk meet and after while posting there, I started getting money just for sharing my thoughts on this forum.

That and thanks to bitcoin I've learned a whole lot about cryptology and blockchain technology. Hell I even dipped my toe in coding!

i was remember that on my country there is a person starting trading with small amount and after several months trial and error he was became success traders now but you have to remember that there is no instant way how to earnings bitcoin and experience and knowledge is necessary in this fields

I think an encouraging thing is attending a Bitcoin meetup. It's fun to be in the same place with many others sharing their experiences and enthusiasm. You can learn from people with different perspectives and levels of experience and it's a treat when a Bitcoin celebrity like
Andreas Antonopoulos shows up. Check this forum section for more on meetups: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=86.0

Tons of Great Advice! This thread should be stickied.

Stay away from "investment" sites. They easy to spot just look for promises of fixed return rsge. There are legit investments but those you have to think with you don't simply hand over some BTC it's more then that. So don't fall for those. Also double check triple check even heck ten times that the BTC address you are sending to is correct and make sure you logged into the right wallet.

Also back up !! Your wallet.dat file everywhere. You can never have too many back ups. Do not use USB sticks for long-term though.

Try to find safer ways of earning bitcoins instead of getting carried away with doubler sites who will promise you to double your coins in few hours but that will never happen which will bring loss for you and also stay away from cloud mining sites as it will also give you only negative results so to get to the next level the best thing would be to learn trading and start with a small capital at primary stage.

You need to learn about bitcoin, there is so many things that can be achieved from bitcoin that still hidden, to encourage you, you can see the price chart from last year and this year the price has been go up really quickly and there are a lot of way to earn from bitcoin, the more you gain knowledge the more you will enjoy earning from bitcoin

I am not yet one of the "masters" here but hey, I learned something.
1. Do not get bored too easily. There are new members here that got bored, couldn't get bitcoin just from reading and then, poof, left their account. Since it's your first time here, you might want to roam around the forum and read about stuff. You may reply to threads that has an appeal to you, but do not spam.
2. If you are a newb in bitcoin, you may try doing some faucets, get your own bitcoin wallet and see how bitcoin works just by withdrawing the bitcoins you earned.
3. If you have skills to showcase / use, like article writing, image manipulation, programming, etc. You could advertise / comment to threads under the services area. You could also learn doing BBCodes for new signature campaigns.
4. Stay away from gambling and investment sites.
Why gambling? IMO, if you don't want your bitcoins go, then don't do gambling. But if you think that you have the luck, then, it's up to you.
Investment sites? Some are ponzi schemes, you might not want to invest your hard earned bitcoins to some ponzi schemes.

It's been recovered. Now the value is 1054$ and do not sell your bitcoins immediately as thinking we reached to peak value. Still value is in scratch on as satoshi speculates. Now signature earnings turned so low value in most of the campaign. Therefore, do trading, lending or any coin designing services to make decent income every month.

Yes it has recovered from previous week panic selling because of FUD. For me if you really want to profit, don't rely on signature campaign to earn btc. Instead used the btc you earned from it so do trading. Just remember that there is risk in doing trading so just be careful and invest want to can lose. As you gain experience from it, you can increase your investment to profit more. And if you can stay from gambling, then much better. Because you will lose in gambling.

Almost all the possible advice are already said here, one thing I want to add is to know your goal.  Focus on it and do everything to achieve it.  Bitcoin venture is no different than any other ventures outside cryptocurrency.   You always need to be updated, prepared and well informed.  Know the hype and FUD from actual fact and get profit from it.  And most of all avoid being emotional, it will lead you to nothing, instead, be rational.

My experience was that, its true revolutionary technology like inventing internet. Its that big.
Second is ease of use. Download client and u can send/receive without any 3rd party acceptance.

There is one simple way to earn bitcoin - there's a bitcoin faucet paying 4% interest on deposits (over 30,000 satoshi). Deposit 30,000 satoshi and the interest starts paying, daily. You can also play the faucet rolls, lottery, or gamble. And as far as I know there's no limit to how much you can deposit.

If you're letting your balance sit idle, why not earn interest?

According to me You Should Firstly Gain Adequate Knowledge about the Cryptocurrencies and After that I Suggest you to Try to Buy Little Amount of Bitcoins and Try to Grow them By Doing Trading and Doing Some Other Activities that help you to grow your Bitcoins.......

Wow!  didn't expect to receive this much of an advice. These really helps a lot. I learned many new things just by reading that advice you guys gave and it's very appreciated especially newbies like me.

As quoted being into bitcoin is good, but over expectation should not be there. Because most beginners with much expectations come into bitcoin and in a short gets trapped by the scammers who provide attractive schemes of earning bitcoin. So it's good to learn to some extent and then start using it.

I will suggest to all beginners, If you have less capital than prefer to earn bitcoin from in bitciontalk. Because it is best and also in service section, we can see mostly short works are here to earn bitcoin. But main point is that save the bitcoins and get information about bitcoin on daily basis.   

i will suggest beginners:

1. read the basic of bitcoin, then know how wallet (online and offline) working. because u need to careful when making transaction and it will let u know more bitcoin.

2. know more bitcoin exchange and your local exchange

3. what the purpose of u to in

4. Read more bitcointalk as it is the main forum of bitcoin

5. Make more research before do transaction to another website as it is unrecoverable.
and if u use online wallet, don't change transaction fee better.
