Bitcoin Forum

It is time for a change!
The crypto space is not very noob friendly: bitcoin and blockchain are complex daunting topics; cryptocurrencies themselves are not very user-friendly; and the cryptocurrency space has gathered a bad reputation for being filled with scams. A small mistake sending coins from your wallet can cause you to lose your money and ruin your experience. So, while everyone has heard about blockchain and bitcoin, people are not only unsure how to get started, they are also faced with these high barriers to entry.

TokenTuber’s mission is to lower the barriers to entry to the cryptocurrency space so that mass adoption of cryptocurrencies can be achieved. On TokenTuber you can learn and educate yourself on everything you need within the crypto space. We will hold your hand and guide you on your journey in the crypto world. Not only that, you can also earn your first cryptocurrency and trade it with absolutely no cost.

We are looking for "Global Partners" to make an impact and change the face of crypto space! If you want to became part of this great movement let us know in a reply below and we will get back to you immediately!

Well we appreciate your concern to educate crypto noobs and greeners about how things work in this industry but i think learning crypto is not as difficult as you make it seem and those tiny mistakes that you mentioned above just occur on the ignorance of people. I don't understand how people tend to make mistakes of sending money to the wrong person. If it's about cases of fraud it's quite different, because we always admonish people to do a good research before proceeding with anything and there are so many popular and trusted sites to learn from. So why do some folks choose to do things their own way and later come and blame this amazing technology. I've never had any issue ever since i entered into the crypto industry.

It is a good move to educate more people in line with crypto space ideology , but many has refuse to read which is the key note on the side of getting use and knowing what is the real deal and not getting in to wrong hands.

Binance has also do its best in this regard to educate many on the field for more adoption and I believe soon many will follow suit.

Are you a thread, a website, an app...? If it's one of the last two, you should probably add the link to your original post. Educating people is important, but in a way this forum is a place for this (at least, the Beginners and Help board of it). So what kind of new stuff are you going to offer? And keep in mind that people in other discussions are already fairly experienced with Bitcoin, so they won't need the content like "be attentive with various crypto addresses you use not to send Ethereum to a Bitcoin address or something". So visit the Beginners and Help section (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0), I am sure that your content will find a more suitable audience there. Good luck!

Can you explain exactly what kind of initiative you are talking about? I mean, what good will it do us and the market? I think you should explain to us more.

I learned about bitcoin and how to buy/sell in several exchanges and how to use DEX without single assistance from anyone. This is the reason why I didn't buy bitcoin when it hits $800 in August 2017, because I was really scared it was going to disappear. I was told about bounty by a friend and had to research it myself and would later go ahead and teach hundreds of persons I don't even know through WhatsApp. Funny I am not as intelligent as a good academic student. So noobs need to chase quick gain as a first call but knowledge.

It seems you are pretty much advertising  something here, Well I guess you should post a link on what it is, but if you are talking about the complicated things people go in taking knowledge about Bitcoin I really think that people would figure out just fine how Cryptocurrency works, Well the first time I encounter Bitcoin and cryptocurrency I am in a total blank in what I need to do, but eventually with the help of some friends and this forum site that lend me a hand in research and learning the basics of what to do, I guess there is no need for this, Self-learning is just fine in my opinion.

Every market is not noob friendly if you don't educate yourself. So before you get your hands dirty in this world, you need to study and not just listen on everything you hear in Youtube. That's why we have this DYOR mantra here. It's not that complicated though, it's that people are in the rush to make money here and tend to believed that this is a get rich scheme, which is not.

Do you have a whitepaper or proposal that we can read about your discourse? I'm still confused about what is TokenTuber, is this a new token or a new service? what are the goals and benefits provided? You talk about education on TokenTuber, meaning this will become an educational platform, right?


Actually we should not judge new things like this badly, if platform that will be established by @OP is good enough and interesting I think why not to support it. Not all newbie here have a close friend who knows bitcoin or wants to teach them, so we need a place for these newbie to learn. I myself will support it if it is interesting compared to other platforms, I will wait for further @OP clarity.

Can you elaborate please? Are you going to compile all the knowledge of Bitcoin and Blockchain? Are you going to be like youtube? You should explain to us more instead of trying to partner with someone. I see the idea

Place a link here because a lot of people are doubting you now. Your idea is not bad but you lack information.

Hmm  you have a point but I think that's how it really goes. In every introduction of new technology there is always major adjustments to be made of course. Even if it is a new car, new phone or new appliances, you still caught yourself as a newbie, right?. It is all the same with cryptocurrency and I think that's normal. For this reason, we should continue educating the mass for them to further understand the essence of it and embrace it later on.
Copy-paste is not so hard and confusing to do. It never fails unless you are so careless and do not double check ;D.

Cryptocurrency is still difficult for practical use by ordinary people. There will be no mass adoption of cryptocurrency if its use is not simple and reliable. In addition, for many, there is a language barrier, which is also a significant obstacle if everything is not intuitively clear. People will not lose much time and look for scattered information in order to learn how to work with cryptocurrency. It will be easier for them to use other means of payment, especially if the first experience was unsuccessful. Therefore, I welcome any general cryptocurrency training people.

Good initiative on helping noobs enter the cryptocurrency market. This looks quite a hard task to bridge the barrier between the cryptospace and the common people who are into learning about the cryptocurrencies. Earlier it was a easy thing to make noobs get caught in the hands of scammers who keenly keep focus on newbies.

Good stuff, and yes that's good to hear. Moving forward to see more advertisement on it in social media so that there are many people will know how this crypto space works and how they can earn from it. Many people are afraid to invest due to lack of knowledge on it. Much better to focus on this part.

Very glad to hear your crypto experience was great, but unfortunately that is not the case for many other beginners in this space, and one early mistake, make them hate this community forever, rather than facing those unwanted occasions we would like to prepare them beforehand.

We definitely agree that people avoid initial research and learning phase and jump to exchanges and eventually get hurt, we found out this is also because there are now too many source of information and it is very hard to tell which one is a real guide or which one is a shilling post.

You mentioned about reading, we also believe reading is very important part of this journey but in the today's world people like to watch and learn things and many feel that is the easier method thus there are many video learning platforms like Udemy etc.  what we are trying to achieve here is using educational crypto videos created by people who have real experience and use these videos to educate beginners.

Thank you for your suggestion with beginners section, I will try to create an article there, I didn't want to put the links there at first because I didn't want people to see this as an advertisement because we really believe in every word we mentioned in this post and we are working hard to make that real. Now I have included our website's link and whitepaper you can have a look.

Little bit about us , we are trying to create educational video portal exclusively featuring blockchain and bitcoin related content with a built in token economy. As you mentioned we will not try to teach basics to people who are already advanced in this space, for this reason we have different types of content for each user level. At the moment we mainly focus on crypto novices as they are the people who needs to learn the most. But we also have video content and token economy for advanced crypto traders . As you probably already know , the moment you say you know everything about crypto next day you hear something new, so it is continuing learning curve for everyone and we want to be the path that people follow to learn. 

Even if OP makes the whole idea of Bitcoin and the  blockchain into a cartoon that could be easily explained, noobs who aren't ready to task themselves on reading will still find it difficult to grasp. I think those who are ready to learn have a way of equipping themselves. You should've seen how complex this was when cryptocurrency newly debuted. It's simpler now to be honest.

With how you structured your post, I was made to believe that you are trying to point out something around crypto awareness or education. I thought it was about a new approach to counter the obstacles crypto noobs are facing in getting themselves familiar with it. And then I suddenly came upon "become an experienced crypto trader." Everything I was assuming was shattered. LOL!

At face value, your initiative looks great. I'm not saying I want to be a part of it. I'm just curious as to how you would proceed. How do you plan making "an impact and change the face of crypto space"?  

Sorry for my brief explanation on my initial post, didn't want to include every little details and make it an hour long post, but since you asked here I will gladly explain to you what we are bringing new.

Our platform is educational video platform, we do feature blockchain and bitcoin exclusive video content with a build in token economy. We aim to educate both crypto novices and traders with in our paltform, let me go little more detail on this, we have crypto exclusive videos aiming to establish more theoretical understanding along side of these videos we have a token economy which is giving the practical knowledge to users, such as how to trade, how to store a token, etc. not only that this token economy system encourages people to learn and interact more with videos by rewarding them with tokens.

We are creating a video sequences to guide the beginners to learn things in order as well as, we will be soon implementing tests with rewards attached to them to measure how much they really know about this space.
Basically we are taking the fun from learning videos and combining it with educational features we specially designed for beginners and traders.

Here is the link to our website: https://www.tokentuber.com

Here is the link to our whitepaper for more detailed explanation on everything : https://www.tokentuber.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/TokenTuber-Whitepaper-v3.0-September-2019.pdf
 

You have mentioned you have learned everything without an assistance, we are not saying it is not possible, it is possible like in your case, but wouldn't you like if there was clear path for you to follow? Wouldn't you save more time from learning thus can focus other important parts? and our aim is exactly this, we would like to make this learning phase as easy as possible for every crypto novice.

Contrary reason I didn't want to post our link was I didn't want you to see this as an advertisement. We believe in this technology and we believe it can make change this world for everyone and we want it to spread but we have seen many obstacles and one of the them is the obstacles beginners face and wanted to tackle this problem as that is only way to grow as a community.

On the self learning. we do agree with you it is possible and it can be done and it has been done by many people just like you, but if you like to target much larger audience and if you want mass adoption you need to improve this initial learning phase or otherwise we will lose people at the beginning phase. Again we are not a platform offering bitcoin 101 course we are more community driven education video platform featuring exclusively crypto related content to support people who are trying to self learn.

You actually pointed out something very important  " it's that people are in the rush" we also noticed this they want to get to that space asap and while doing this they miss important stuff and get hurt later, another good point if yours is" not just listen on everything you hear in Youtube" we are aware these days there are too many crypto experts too many videos, articles talking about what is right and what is wrong but very few is actually gets verified or checked. These two points you mentioned are few of the reasons why we started this TokenTuber initiative, to speed up and guide beginner during the learning phase by offering quality and accurate information.

We believe if we can make people believe in us we can make a big impact in crypto community just by removing obstacles to enter crypto space, thus we are getting in touch with various KOLs of this space to be part of our movement also we believe each individual in this community can create a impact by being part of our exciting journey that is the reason we are looking global partners so we can reach more people and make this dream real.

We don't want to be another YouTube, we won't even want to compete with Youtube but more hold hands with it. There great content crypto related content creators and there are very well made videos. We would like to compile these good content and content creators into our platform. After that, we create special sequences for beginners to follow. also we are not implementing different tests for users to measure their knowledge. and the cherry on the top is we do have a token economy integrated in all these, people are getting rewarded with participating tests, or contributing and evaulting the videos. One of the most important part with the token economy is we would like to establish the practical understanding in a risk free environment.

As you mentioned above, in every introduction of new technology there are similar problems which is right. And if you look further into these techs you will notice that the ones which massively adopted ones are the ones with low barriers to entry. What I mean with it is, you will see those techs optimize their user experience for new comers. For a new comer to join and learn more about this tech is structured in way that people can easily can grasp it and then mass adoption begins. We have a similar aim here, we would like to lower the barriers to entry and make it clear and safe experience for new adopters.

We also believe practical use is as important is theoretical understanding. For that very reason we have created our token economy so on beginners can gain the practical experience in a risk free environment. We call it risk free because the tokens they will have are given to them for their contributions and for their achievements not just purchased from an exchange.

On the mass adoption side we believe there are many things to be done as you described its use is definitely an important one, but for us the problem we would like to tackle is the high barriers of entry. We believe if we can somehow reduce these barriers more and more people will be able to join this community with much ease. 

You are very right my friend, many of new adopters were lost and hurt by scammers and never to come back again, and this is a problem we believe us crypto community have to tackle. That was one of the core reason why this initiative has started. We would like to hold hands of new adopters and show them a safe and easy path way in their early days.

Very appreciate your kind words thanks. We believe we can spread the word and show them they can actually benefit from this technology. And as you mention lack of knowledge is a big problem we are trying to tackle. But with more support from the community we believe we can lower the barriers to entry and educate new comers.

I totally agree that we need some kind of reputable "helpdesk" for newbies to contact when they want to know anything about Bitcoin. It is also a daunting experience to come to a forum like this and then to post your questions here, because people tend to be hostile towards people, when they repeat the same question and searching for a answer, might point you to some wrong information. <Not all posters know what they talking about>  :P

When you use a wallet provider or an exchange, they usually have some kind of call centre that would respond to your requests, but when you know nothing about Bitcoin, searching for information might get you into trouble, because there are a lot of scam sites out there.  >:(

It's really an issue that every user of cryptocurrency and bitcoin must be aware of. Especially the newbies and people who are planning to engage with crypto. I appreciated your concern regarding to it. It can really help people to be aware of what is bitcoin and what it can do to us.  Hope you'll succeed with it.

Thank you for pointing out the  "become an experienced crypto trader."  it is one of our goals but definetly not our ultimate goal, have edited the OP to proper version.

I have also realized overtime that lack of proper education of cryptocurrency is what is still disturbing a lot of us here, and this would back up my fact that fiat will not be completely replaced by cryptocurrency, if at the level of our intelligence and literacy, some of us are still struggling or battling with the use of Blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, what do we now expect those who are not as literate as we, and those who are not even literate at all.

I support what you are doing really and I think this will really go a very long way in creating literacy about Blockchain generally, and helping those who are coming into the cryptocurrency space to know why they are here and also to effectively utilize all the opportunities available to the best of their knowledge.

The blockchain is an undeniably ingenious invention – the brainchild of a person or group of people known by the pseudonym, Satoshi Nakamoto LiteBlue (https://liteblue.me).

It seems to me that it is enough to have a desire and analyze the market to understand the crypto space. Moreover, there is the best forum ever called Bitcointalk where you can ask anything you want about crypto. However, it’s not bad that there are such services that will help newcomers to understand out crypto, however it costs money

I can say that your website is a user friendly platform which is good for the beginners.
i get your point because when i was just starting i am really quite overwhelmed with some of the crypto currency related platforms
and before you cannot see a single site that has a scope of content to cater all the things that a newbie should know about cryptocurrencies.
all i can say is all projects should include how to contirbute with the mass adoption, so goodluck to your mission though its not clear if you are
an emerging altcoin project or just a cryptocurrency supporter.

Remember that cryptocurrency market involves money and the risk is always there so never expect things like this as user friendly
The more you focus on learning is the more safer you come so don’t let noob to enter the market instead be knowledgeable first before putting investments inside so there’s no one to blame but ourselves

But thanks fo your concern because it really helps someone to have another ideas on engaging cryptocurrency

There are so many crypto "noobs" that are just looking for a quick buck or get (super) rich scheme. They will chase doge and memecoins and pump and dumps. They have no interest in learning about blockchain and the underlying fascinating concepts and technology.

With that said, education should be available and trustworthy. Someone commented that Binance (and other exchanges) is producing educational material. That's great. A platform that anyone can post always runs the risk of scammers and bad actors. But perhaps with enough users and super high number of upvotes the good content / videos can rise above the rest. Good luck - I did go and took a look at the site.

quite the opposite, a platform where everyone can post increases transparency while keeping things more decentralized and at the same time prevents centralization of power. lets say the owners of this exclusive place like binance that posts "educational" content didn't like something. what is to stop them from spreading wrong information and FUD about that thing?

but if anyone can post then even if a bad actor spreads wrong information everyone else would fight it.

This is a wonderful article (https://triberr.com/Robert%20Wesley), Given so much info (http://www.edu.fudanedu.uk/user/robertwesley/)
