Bitcoin Forum

Holla bitcoin Forum,
I'm New here, what's to be done, although I had a brief about this.
What's the best advice you received here, pass it on to me!.
Might be useful in my journey ahead here.

1. Don't plagiarism.
2. Don't scam, cheat, spam or begging.
3. Understand the rules and pinned post in every sections.

I think those above advice are enough for newbies to survive in this forum, for sure you wouldn't got banned. It's really sad when newbies doesn't know the forum rules and they're do plagiarism, they will got permanent banned and almost doesn't have any chance to recover their accounts.

If you have found something and did not share what you have known, I can not give you advice you want.

In general, check this topic Newbies - Read before posting (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0) and Welcome message (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5036308.0). Basic and most important advice for newbies and beyond that, you can find more advice if you need more or still don't understand clearly about given advice.

Cool Cool, I think I can recall about the plagiarism aspect.
What do you mean by begging ?
Thank you anyways, first reply I've got here@ Jawhead999

The summary of the entire elongated detail of advice you will be needing to stay clean on the forum and for the investment aspect never invest more than you can lose because crypto is never stable and prices can only be speculated as no one actually controls the market nor knows what direction a market takes in reality

Their are many advice that are given here on daily basis about the forum , cryptocurrency,  and how to secure a wallet. Mentioning  them may not be enough for you , it will be better if you take your time and go through them to study them in this particular board (beginners and help). The advice you need is not far from you and its very easy for you to locate it yourself.

Not necessarily advice, but what I've observed: even the most reputable people can end up scam quitting one way or another. It's one of the downsides of pseudo/anonymity — they can easily scam people and leave with little to no trace.

If you ask me about the best advice, of course I'll show you this one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0, for you to learn.

There are some suggestions you can take, for your future trips, at a glance, maybe @Jawhead999 already told you, of course if you want to see something else or further you can also see the link above.

Good luck in the future in this forum.

He's referring to people who beg the community to help them resolve their financial difficulties, as if it were a charitable community. More importantly, it is also against the forum rules if you haven't read that one.

Furthermore, asking for a solicited "merit" is also a form of begging.

Edit: the rules I am talking about is already linked above my post.

I might not have asked it in the thread but reading around in the forum helped me in my first few days in here. You should read more and posting less especially if you're still learning either about the forum or even about Bitcoin itself.
Aside from that, everything is pretty much the technical stuffs about the forum including the merit system.

If you dont venture outside the Beginners and Help board you can learn a lot
in a very short space of time. Tonnes of newbie questions have been asked here and
tonnes of answers by people who have been through it all are posted but it takes a lot
of reading and that is key, read more than you write!

reading, joining discussions, don't be afraid to ask questions, etc...  hd49728 have shared a link, I suggest you read it. the thread on that link contains the basic things you need to know about the forum, which is useful for new members.

what he meant is asking members for money. if you post something like that it would most likely be reported and deleted.

Read, read, read, read, read, learn, join discussions, don't hesitate to ask questions, avoid plagiarism, don't scam, don't beg (money and merit, don't spam which in short follow the RULES. It may be many many things I said but it helped me. Don't forget to share too if there might be someone new crypto. It is also important that you won't get angry when someone criticize you if you have done something wrong as it will help you point out your mistakes if you make a mistake. I may say that this is not the best advice but a merr advice to help a newbie. Don't forget, we also start as a newbie. Have fun learning and good luck on your journey. (FIST BUMP)

Don't get too ahead of yourself. Don't be hasty with decisions, or think you can rush through anything. Take your time, and take the chance to learn. Always know more than you did the day before, and be ready to learn even more as you move forward. Don't let your desire for something overpower your ability to learn and to absorb. There's so much out there.

Yeah, I'll try to do so.
It's more like knowledge speaking and write, wisdom reading and observing.
Thank you all I can respond to all... I will do my best for the growth and success of the bitcoin forum.

Avoid being scammed by being careful with whom messages you.

There can be people that will message you as if they are trying to help if you have asked something. But they have a hidden agenda, a bad agenda.

And that is to scam you.

One word: HODL!

This is the best advice ever in here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.msg4022997#msg4022997

Which journey are you referring to? Journey within the forum or journey within crypto in general?

If it's journey within the forum, as Jawhead999 mentioned, don't plagiarize, scam others, and cheat. Although I don't think one has to read each and every pinned post in every section. You don't even have to visit every section here.

If it's your crypto journey in general, the best advice I remembered were the basics like not your keys not your coins, HODL, as Loyce mentioned, invest in a hardware wallet, invest only what you can afford to lose. And if you ever get involved in trading, always remember to stick to buy low sell high whatever happens. I have known people who bought high and sold low. That's foolish. And also, as much as possible, stick to Bitcoin. Furthermore, Warren Buffet's be greedy when others are fearful has so far worked.

Advice I keep remembering and I get in forums
1. List sources when quoting
2. First attempt the next gift
3. Do not plagiarized.
4. Create quality posts
That is still I always remember, in fact probably a lot of advice written in a post. But that's partly what I've found useful to me to date in the Bitcointalk forum.

If you are sincerely open to advices, it means you can be a good user of the forum. You have received many advice from people above, then I have to add these for you;

Try and be original. Do not be a version of another man, be real and do not plagiarise.
Inspire to learn from reputable members every time.
Then you can visit this thread to know some mistakes newbies make and how to avoid them. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5379867.msg58900293#msg58900293

I know I am late to enter this topic but ill try to give my expressions,  first, welcome to our community,  a community that you can earn a lot of knowledge about crypto and especially bitcoin by reading the related topics.
Second the best and a friendly advice is do not try to break  the rules and regulations here in forum .
Anyways good luck to your journey and I do hope that you will be a successful member someday.

The best advice if you are in this forum is to obey the rules and don't scam.
The best advice for the investment you make is to use money that you don't need in the future.
Actually a lot of good suggestions, you just need to look for it in this forum you can read it you can apply all the suggestions given by members here.

Almost all the replies are the same and they are absolutely right.
But there is one thing that I would like to expand " Do the right things and not even try to break the rules or else you will suffer the consequences". But it was you who could decide it, either...
We have to be open-minded. We all haven't a good start in here and probably experiencing mistakes so hearing advice and corrections are very important for us to grow and should be responded to in a positive way.

The first thing I learned from the forum was about contributions. If you wanna become an established member of this forum there are no alternatives. And of course, for that, you need to learn from here and spread the knowledge new generation. Once a time I was a newbie, now become Legendary here through contributions only. So just follow others' advice and contribute to the forum.

Can I say: this is one of reasons I like this man 'mk4' ... A spade should be called by its name, don't you get that? A reputable member can decide to scam anyone and that doesn't change the personality of the person you knew him for ...afterall he's been here for a long time so he can simply erase the traces as he said, the best option is to stick to the purpose you came for and if you're doing any fund business on the forum, look for a trusted escrow that has been used several and confirmed for it's honesty, then you're good to go. I'd say on my own part that: there's gonna be a time that you will be fed up of just coming online to read some wierd text,maybe for being humiliated by a superior personality but you should also at this point, remember the purpose why you got registered at first, the informations you've gotten in here and every single fringe benefits that awaits you and stir yourself up with it, see ya out there!

I get much worthy advice that I got from members right here.
Here are some that maybe you can also take from the experiences:
- DOn't be shitposters, that is why so far, I always try to make better and better posts, but sometimes, I still have mistakes because of my lack my understanding of the topic or knowledge.
- Learn, learn, and learn. There are so many things that we can learn from this forum, just read, learn, undestand, and implementation
- Don't be too greedy, it relates to the investment or trading when taking profits because we can be easily too greedy and then lost our chance to take profits.
- Be careful of scam projects, they are commonly too sweets of promises.

Always look into scam accusation section once in a while because the project you are about to promote or invest money on could already be exposed as a scam.

In all the advice I have gotten from this platform in summary it means always be yourself.

Be real and that will get you going.

This forum gives a lot of information that can be used in your daily things in the world of cryptocurrency so if you have a question the forum is always open. Also as possible don't be a member doing is to spam, plagiarize and troll it doesn't benefit at all. Forums teach me here is always seek at your own risk because at the end of the day your decision is important to make a profit or a loss into different mistakes and learnings.

Truth is, everyone has received some sort of advice on this forum, and almost everyone will have an advice to give you, some applicable only here on this forum, while others have general applications for your journey through crypto. The best advice that i have carried from this forum that has assisted me in making investment decisions is - "Only invest an amount you can afford to loose".

If, after creating the topic, you have received a general understanding of the issue that concerns you, get in the habit of closing the topic. Otherwise, you yourself will indulge in the fact that the topics you created will turn into a mega stream, which in fact does not carry anything useful, except for shitposting.
The point is that you read, read more, then learn how to use search, and if you can't understand something, ask. But then, close the topic.
That is what I propose to do to you now.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5276341.0

When i was new to the forum there were lot of things to learn and i only knew little about bitcoin or say was familiar only with that term as it was new.Slowly gained momentum as i spend time on forum and still was struggling to rank up after the merit system implementation because was not making quality posts.

But then there were some high rank members whose discussions and useful threads I see and got to know enough from it.Then i was keen to enhance my knowledge and then there was no looking back and see now the results in front of you.

The best advice I got wholly from all members were as follows :

1) Give more importance on increasing your knowledge which will benefit you in long run.

2) Invest in Bitcoin and hold for long term.

3) Be safe in this risky crypto market from free giveaways and other scams.

There are lot which we get and give as members of bitcointalk community but it's on the person who use it for his benefits or not.

Don't try to copy others, be yourself, and be the best that you can be. Don't develop an opinion based on what you think others will like. Say things even if they aren't popular if they are true. Concentrate on the things that interest you and that you are good at. It's easy to spot a fake user, so be honest. Learn, search, and think before posting.

The best advice I have received on this forum is that not all things are for everyone.
So, everyone needs to know which aspect of the crypto industry suits them best, and focus on that.
One should not try everything, but concentrate on one or several things, and dedicate one's time and money to it.
Also, each of us needs to have a clear goal and exit strategy and stick to that.

At first you have to study the environment and know the major concerns of the community first to avoid breaking of the rules and regulations of the community in order not to adventure into complications of the community, you have to take look at this link Newbies - Read before posting (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0). That topic gives helpful advice before you make posts or create topics.
Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0) and peruse into it in order to develop your knowledge towards the community.. secondly i will like you to ensure you read before posting and also carry on your research without involving in highlight and copy of already existing knowledge work made by someone, this forum you can get developed or elevated base on your personal observation and commitment outside the community and inside the community.

I can always remember two pieces of advice I got here a few years ago vividly. It's almost like they appear before me ceaselessly daily –

1. Grow a thick skin if you want to survive on this forum because words often come as ruthless. That's, don't be a sissy if you want to keep strong otherwise you will always be hurting.

2. Avoid those who won't make business discussions public but like to pm you for deals, especially when you seek clarifications. Often, it ends up that they're scammers.

If there is one lesson that helped me ranked-up and contribute to the forum, it is this advice: do not chase for merits by spamming posts; create substantial and quality replies and merits will be the one chasing you.

Unfortunately, most newbies nowadays are so obsessed with ranking-up their accounts in order to participate into campaign signatures. While that is totally understandable, it somehow creates hundreds of pages of spams across the forum which somehow degrades the overall quality of posts. If you really took your time reading and understanding the replies, not only do you help other newbies but you also help yourself.

It has to be "anything that looks too good to be true, is prolly a scam", take that axiom very seriously because i can state categorically that it has helped me avoid falling for scammers in my stay in the crypto network, mind you also that newbies are usually victims of this, so it is best to learn it early, newcomers are usually aroused by how they can make "free" money from the network, that is cause many of them have this mentality that the network is a get rich quick scheme, thus they fail to identify what looks too good to be true, so make sure you pay particular attention to that.
The scam accusation section can help you to identify a scam project or other whatnots, but mind you that it might not be comprehensive enough, so you must take your research to broader areas than just there, mind you also that not every project is a scam even if someone accuses them, what i am saying in totality is: "Do Your Own Research".

I would consider the best advice here is to "always do your own research first" and read almost everything and explore everywhere on any different board of this forum. We should not limit ourselves in finding the right information since there's a lot of misinformation all over the internet plus full of scammers almost everywhere. Always use your common sense first before acting according to your own emotion.

So, good luck on your journey – it may not be easy but as time goes by you will find what you are looking for.
