Bitcoin Forum

Today i will be listing out the top activites a strong believer of bitcoin should be involved in;
1. Learning Bitcoin
2. Buying Bitcoin
3. Hodling Bitcoin
4. Democratizing Bitcoin

If you are a strong believer in the technology you should at least partcipate in all these activities

For me, the most important on the list is number 1 which is the MUST do for every people before buying Bitcoins.
Learning Bitcoin even the basic first is very important before buying it, so you will know what you are buying, you are not buying because somebody told you that you will get easy money on Bitcoin or become rich easily.
The rest on the list will follow.
Good list OP!

The most important thing when learning bitcoin is that you're actually buying the true king, the real bitcoin. Because as you know, there's this fork that's claiming and misdirecting people that's new to bitcoin.
They claim that they're bitcoin without informing these new folks that they're actually a fork.

You wouldn't be a strong believer in BTC if you haven't done the listed 3. We hate to see people shilling for new coins but its their way of showing support to that coin because they believe in that coin. There were people having a debate about which one has better technology and we always compare their technology and how centralized a coin can be so yeah shill BTC and chill.

I agree that we should be learning about Bitcoin if we are really into it we should know all about Bitcoin and how it works and also know the difference between those forks and those so called true Bitcoin.
At first I thought this was going to be a thread where the OP is interested on what are the activities of a Bitcoiner do like on their free time when they aren't focus on Bitcoin or crypto but I was wrong it was a list of strong believers.

It is important to learn about bitcoin for some reasons:

-You will less likely lose money while managing your Keys/Seed.
-You will less likely lose money investing in scam projects that claim to be a "better" bitcoin. Understanding what bitcoin is and why it is valuable is certainly going to make a lot of difference and will make you stay away from scams.

I suggest you read MAstering Bitcoin from Antonopoulos and look for their videos here. Great for every beginner.

Yea first thing you need to do is learn about the technology and what it entails. Most people don’t really sit down to learn before they buy the shitcoins they invest in because if they do they won’t bother to purchase them. After learning then you can buy bitcoin then you can proceed to hodl for as long as you love

I'm not buying anymore, does that make me a lesser Bitcoiner?
I don't believe that you should be a buyer. Buy whetever you can afford and hold for as long as you can afford. It's not a religion that you should commit to!

I don't know if major percentage of bitcoin users know the concept behind bitcoin creation. But it should know everyone who are involved with bitcoin instead of just use it. Besides of get advantage of volatility we should learn the technology behind of it. But unfortunately lots of bitcoin users don't know to select proper bitcoin wallet or they aren't familiar with it. There is no end for a learner, before put your money on it it's most important to to learn how bitcoin recognizing.

As a bitcoin lover its everyone's responsibility to keep role in bitcoin adoption somehow. Generally we might keep out role to spread the word about bitcoin our nearest friends and tech them as much as we know. So the bitcoin community will more stronger.

It depends on someone's intention and looks like your intention to know bitcoin here just for a profit only or as a way to gain money in it. I guess there is a lot of people who come to bitcoin and they like its concept not only for profit/an income. They will use bitcoin every day like they use money fiat, sending money or make it as a payment system tool and etc.

And most likely for those people who come and using bitcoin in whole their life will stay for a long time comparing to those people who just buy, hold and sell bitcoin because they only have intention for-profit purpose, no more than that. Until, when they think bitcoin is not profitable anymore they will leave it and spread a piece of false information about bitcoin.

With learning bitcoin, it shall be a continous proccess. Everyone of course will dig deeper knowledge before the full implications.
  Buying  & Holding- does it mean we may engage in trading bitcoin, as per a short term trade or long term trade. But it shall be done accordingly with the basis and good reading of technical analysis.
 
 Anyhow, I am more on investing bitcoin. The more I invest into it, the more I learn and the more profit I gained.

I go for learning and holding the bitcoin. :) Even if I am staying here in crypto world for years, admit or not as time passes by we are still gaining knowledge at some point that's why I am not closing my door for learning new knowledge most especially in my own experiences here. I am holding all of my coins now because I believe that anytime, the value of bitcoin can be pumped and that is the time when I will sell all of my coins to earn a great amount of money.

For me I do 1 and 2, but the number 1 is the most important of course, despite everything I've learned about bitcoin, there is still a lot to learn about bitcoin, it is important to learn bitcoin and spread bitcoin culture in society. There are a lot of unknowns to me about Bitcoin that I like to know about.
Although it's been over five years since I got to know Bitcoin, to this day I am still finding new things.

Ok, learning is always important.


You don't need to constantly buy Bitcoin to be a Bitcoiner, just owning Bitcoin is enough, no matter how much. There's no need to compare yourself to others, and it's important to be responsible with your finances and not take unnecessary risks.


Holding Bitcoin is not an activity.


What does this even mean?


0/10 shitpost

The main thing here is to understand that bitcoin is beyond what everyone always sees, a cryptocurrency, bitcoin is a powerful message, that change is possible, having bitcoin does not make you an expert, a bitcoiner or whatever you want to name it, but understand your message and spread it, Yes!

Its not that necessary if you are a believer and also i do believe that majority here on crypto space would always be concern on how to make money or profits with bitcoin but somewhat at the same time
we do indeed support it and hodling it because we do know its potential value in future talks.Of course, bitcoin should really be spent for having its circulation matter but due to profit matters then
people do just need to simply hold if of. Learning can really be met along the way yet it isnt really that time consuming if you do able to do so.

Agree! It is a recommended list to put it into practice from the beginning. I am a bitcoiner because what I have achieved so far has been thanks to Bitcoin. Although I made many attempts to own some services with the bank, it was not possible. Now I don't need it because Bitcoin has provided me with solutions. The sky is the limit!

You forgot something on your list which is also play a very important role in mass adoption. Thus, increasing the demand and value of Bitcoin in the future.

5. Using Bitcoin for transactions.

Bitcoin is more than just a store of value. IMO, everyone needs to exercise the usage of Bitcoin, even with just a fractions of it. If these merchants who's accepting Bitcoin as payment won't get enough people to use such payment option, do you think they will continue accepting? Or remove it on the latter?.

-Buying Bitcoin ain't always necessary.
-What do you mean by democratize?

The first thing is the learning. You need to know what you are doing you need to learn about the technologu what it really entails, it can be complicated at first but when you focus and learn you will understand all about bitcoin

Learning about bitcoin is a continuous process. Many people were not well versed into economics or cryptography when they started being involved with crypto. If you spend more and more time being involved, then it's like learning more things every day.

It's also that many of bitcoin's possibilities haven't been explored yet. Some events observed are new. For example when fees went way up during 2017, they reached levels of value that hadn't been observed before. And there's many more things that will be interesting to see happening with BTC.

These are the three most important things to me as a bitcoinner. When I first landed on this industry I learned some basic things in cryptocurrency, this was done when I got a Blockchain certificate of participation, this actually added to my understanding when it come to cryptocurrency. After my learning then, I used to preached the true gospel of Bitcoin through this training I got. After having a good understanding of Bitcoin, I then started buying bitcoin for hold, those I bought in 2016 when I wasn't around on this forum made me my first car.

It is just what you should do if you are new to bitcoin thats the information i am passing accross.

1.You must learn first what does bitcoin really mean
2. You have to buy bitcoin to see how it really works. i dont mean you have to buy bitcoin constantly
3. Hodling bitcoin really means you are believer of bitcoin and the technology and i see it as an activity
4. Democratizing bitcoin means telling people about the technology and how it can change the world. When i bought my first bitcoin in 2017 i can remember how i was excited and telling people around me about this wonderful technology

These are just the stuffs you will do when you get started with the technology

This is the exact thing i am talking about. When i bought my first bitcoin i was always telling people around me about this wonderful technology

Of course, I will. But not all of them, only to have these;
1. Learning Bitcoin
2. Buying Bitcoin
3. Hodling Bitcoin

I don't know what Democratizing Bitcoin you mean and I don't think it makes helpful to us.
And one reason why we come here and do these activities it is because we want to make money, and that we need to acquire these things before we achieve our goal.

These are the two important details you need to know about the technology and its very very vital because newbies tend to misplace private keys and also invest in scam projects

Nice List OP. The list is simple but easy to understand.

1. We should learn first on how bitcoin works just like how you discover new things to do. Learning is very essential here, especially that you can possibly earn money here and not being well educated might lose you chance of earning pretty profits. Bitcoin and blockchain are not so new technology and people are still learning on how it works, so Don't be afraid trying to learn it.

2. Buying bitcoin is one of the ways you can do to join the waves and get chances of getting profits. It is simply buying a stock or share into stock market that you are holding an asset into your hands.

3. Holding bitcoin. This is where you can show your trust in bitcoin, Holding it on your wallet shows the trust you are giving in bitcoin. This is where the estimation of profits go. Hold as long as you can endure the loss or win on the value of bitcoin you are holding.

I don't want to tackle number four because for me these three are essentials of being a bitcoin user.

The job of Bitcoiners is to get a detailed idea about Bitcoin and invest in Bitcoin.Bitcoiners know about Bitcoin, then invest in it, then they wait for the price to rise, they trade or sell it when they meet the expected profit. Again they focus on the market and when the price goes down again they invest and wait for the price to go up. Bitcoiners are always connected to the crypto market.

One of the most important thing that you have mentioned is the number 1, we should keep on learning, as time goes by, changes happen, there are always change in everything as well as the bitcoin or other cryptocurrency, so we should not be passive, we should always learn something about bitcoin. Even though we are already comfortable with what we have known in bitcoin, we should not be contented of what we have, we should keep reading, understanding, and learning.

I do all these things but the most important activity for me is Learning Bitcoin and following it's development, you need to understand how it works and what it's contribution to society and our future, knowledge is power by learning many things about Bitcoin you can explain this to people who like to know about Bitcoin and you will not get scam or lose your coins from mishandling your private key.

What do you mean by "democratizing" Bitcoin?Promoting BTC to other people,I guess.Well,I can't do that because there aren't any people in my small social circle that are interested in technology,innovations,fintech and finance.I can't promote Bitcoin on social media,because I simply hate social media and I have deleted my Facebook,Twitter,Instagram and Linkedin accounts.Social media is 99% a waste of time and effort.
Anyway,I'm learning,buying,earning and HODLing Bitcoin,so I'm close to the average Bitcoiner,I guess. ;D

Great list, we should prioritize the learning of bitcoin because that is the very important thing that we should do, if you learn bitcoin you will learn also how to hold, buy and democratize bitcoin, it's a 1 in 4 combos. Things always change so we should follow those changes by learning about it. Maybe in the future, there would be another cryptocurrency that will be made and can be successful so for us to be able to adopt it we should keep learning. Knowledge is our assets in everything, we can be confident and strong because of knowledge.
Well said, we cannot tell someone that he is a less bitcoiner if he doesn't buy bitcoin anymore, it's just an activity of a bit liner and it won't affect him or her as bitcoin if didn't do it anymore.

When did you learn about bitcoin? I knew about bitcoin when someone told me if I want to become successful in the near future, and that's 5 years ago. I engaged in learning more about bitcoin because I really want to grow my money, being a business-minded will really make you successful.

In that way of learning, you will understand the market and when to buy and sell bitcoin. By that manipulation, you can make your money move and circulate in the market if its needed. But if you just want to relax your coins then just hold it.

Sometimes it is really not that necessary for you to sell bitcoin, sometimes you need also to buy if you really trust bitcoin to grow its price soon.

Those are the common aspects to earn a profit if you are just a beginner and you don't have enough knowledge and skills to earn bitcoin why not use the airdrops, faucet, and bounties to get more bitcoin or even altcoins as the starting money I know this is not good as enough that you can earn all of those easily but if you don't have the capability to buy, earn instead which is a good thing. Next, if you have enough funds try to avoid losing those with the use of the investment wait for the right market price and sell your coin those basic investments which we known as the hodl is easier to get more income in a safe way. Now if you have a lot of bitcoin and you have enough knowledge and skills why not go for the trading this kind of process or method of earning is easier at the same time riskier to earn bitcoin always think that all of the things you are doing is full of risk now earn more bitcoin as much as you want.

If you don't want to make more bitcoin with the help of trading now we have the gambling if you know on your self that you are a skilled player why not try this and now you have a lot of sources of bitcoin all you need is to maintain and gain more money.

Keep learning allowed us to enhanced our chances to succeed from this industry, both investing and using the system for business
transactions is beneficial if you understand perfectly.
A lots of people around this sphere who are just being move by the hype but not because of proper understanding, you need to be
more keen going deeper for your understanding.
The list of OP's activities really important if you do follow bitcoin, it's always an advantages to every users once they knew what
are purpose of supporting the business.

I completely agree with the listing activities mentioned in the opening post. We really must learn all about bitcoin, because without
learn bitcoin we cannot understand bitcoin. Then after knowing bitcoin, we must try to buy it. Without buying bitcoin we can't be called
a strong believer of bitcoin. And our next activity is holding the bitcoin that we have, because as bitcoin believer we are sure of the future
of bitcoin. For Democratizing Bitcoin for me optional activities.

When you say about the activities of a bitcoiner, I would suggest you add about to take a rest and sleep ;D

A bitcoiner needs those two things while they learn, trade, holding, and democratizing bitcoin. Without those two things, a bitcoiner can not make analysis, and he can not trade using his skills.

Indeed learning Bitcoin is one of the important parts of a Bitcoiner but I guess, understanding Bitcoin is more important.  From that, we can see the strength and flaws of Bitcoin.  We can utilize Bitcoin to its maximum potential and help create programs and plans that will strengthen both the foundation and adoption (growth) of Bitcoin.  We can also avoid unnecessary debates between Bitcoin and other non-related/competing commodities.

You also forget,

1.  Trading (buying and selling)
2.  Speculating
3.  Hyping
4.  Fud'ing
5.  Explaining what Bitcoin is
6.  Setting up a business to support the Bitcoin adoption
7.  Mining

With just 3 most important thing about bitcoin, we can conclude that those things should be the priority of the people who want to engage in cryptocurrency. I remember when I was starting to invest in bitcoin, I'm scared about the buying and selling because I'm not that knowledgeable enough due to lack of experience.

Learning about bitcoin is easy once you are really interested in doing it because if you are courageous enough to explore it, you can do anything. Bitcoin taught me how to improve my patience towards the market. It taught me how to hold and make money just by reading the market.

You just need to practice those things, buying and selling in the right time really makes you more effective and earn profit. Gaining a lot of experience will make you adapt in any situation especially when you perform trend trading.

For the past years I don't buy bitcoins since I can already earn it by working on several jobs online so it's no use for buying while I'm earning it thru my efforts/service given to my clients, But I apply the number 1 since everyday I didn't want a day pass that I didn't learn something.

But for those who can afford to do all things still all the suggestion given is so valid since this is the most basic thing needed to do or learn by people to became effective on this industry.

This is the things that I did and I'm doing until now.

With the first one, I learned the basics of it and didn't have a time to know the complex side of Bitcoin. The next 2 are the things that I'm still doing right now (not that much on the second one). We Bitcoin believers believe that Bitcoin's price will rise in the future so we are holding a bit of it for the long term although this scenario has a chance that will not happen though :D.

Aside from holding, I'm also using my Bitcoin to buy some things online (not directly Bitcoin but it is the source of my funds).

having good knowledge of how bitcoin works especially in this generation we re, i think its a great value added in a financial sector globally, many people re out there that re yet to know about bitcoin we have to them know what they re missing  

You can practice using Bitcoin without buying it by using Bitcoin's testnet. It's even better because you don't risk any real money.
Also, this statement is just redundant, because of course almost every Bitcoin enthusiast owns Bitcoin, and if they don't they must have some reason.


Democratizing means making something more democratic. What you are talking about is spreading the word about Bitcoin. It's a good thing to do, but it's also dangerous, because criminals can target Bitcoin users, so be careful who you are talking with, and never tell how many coins you have.

Though my learning about Bitcoin was long but never have interest to participate on the industry. A brother of mine who traveled out the country called to enlightened me about the trending technology called Bitcoin which was a method of payment. After the online training he helped me created my first wallet in 2013 which I lost in the process of relocation(though the amount he sent wasn't big, so we abandoned the funds). Then in 2015-16 was my year years of fully getten involved. He will send me bitcoin for conversion over here because of it price.
