Bitcoin Forum

I read different articles of newbie particular in beginners and help board and I notice that so many of the newbie have in mind that bitcointalk is an office to fetch and earn money. And it's noted that the primary agenda of making bitcointalk is to have a different reasons and suggestions of making the problem of bitcoin to be lesser, I will say some people are not informed of why bitcointalk is been created and its the reason why everytime some newbie make first and second post you know that their plan of registering is to earn a bitcoin.

                        List of things newbie should know as a beginner

~ The purpose of bitcointalk is to share knowledge of cryptocurrency across each others
~ Having earning in mind to register in bitcointalk will make you as a Newbie not to know the advantages and disadvantages of bitcoin
~ learning is the primary thing that will make newbie to understand the features of cryptocurrency
~ knowledge of cryptocurrency and bitcoin precisely remains constant and it can pave way for you to earn in future if been understood
~ Don't be conscious of merit but understand the system of making quality posts
~ Engage in a conversation mostly related in bitcoin.

First, you are also a newbie who joined this year.

Just because you don't sell your service here doesn't mean others don't.

Stop being so pained about it all.

You didn't just grow up and learned everything by yourself.

Newbies are expected to make minor mistakes and learn from them as they progress in the forum. That's why there are moderators here.

Lastly, all of us are here to learn about Bitcoin and make money from it. So, no matter what you said we all, including you have the same goal, irrespective of how you sugarcoat it.

The fact is that many people find out about this forum through their friends or relatives who tell them how they earned something here, by just writing something on the forum. Unfortunately, there are countries where the salary is very low or there is not enough work for everyone, and I can understand that some people are looking for a lifeline in places like this forum.

A win-win situation is when someone actually learns something during the discussion, passes that knowledge on, and maybe also earns something by promoting something in his signature.


Although the name of this forum says "bitcointalk", there is also an altcoins board, and although I personally have no interest in that part of the forum, it was different in the past. Therefore, I think that beginners should explore all the boards and find the ones they are most interested in.

Bitcoin knowledge. You don't receive too many technical support for altcoins in Bitcointalk.

Learning must come along with practice and I hope newbies don't focus on altcoins and lose money with altcoins in practice.

I don't think Protocols of Bitcoin will not be changed. We will have more upgrades in future and Protocol will be upgraded too.

Altcoin protocols are joke and altcoin developers can change their protocols if they want. Because altcoins are centralized in hands of CEOs and developers.

I'm did not exempt myself of not been a newbie, check my profile I'm a member but I communicate with what I observed in newly registered members
 
I'm not talking of selling of service, and for you to have been in newbie rank and start selling a service that means you are not a newbie, you just want to blackmail people with another username

I did not say newbie is above mistake, even the people who has being here for years still have some lapses

---

For you to have learn bitcoin you most have your primary and private plans, because its only when you bitcoin better its when you can apply it's applications and it work you.

Why don't do both. That's an awesome thing when hobby and making money are the same thing.

There are certain types of people here and almost all these people are about making money with Bitcoin, so that's the end goal.

• People who mine Bitcoin to make money.
• People who invest in Bitcoin to make money.
• People who lend Bitcoin to make money.
• People who exchange Bitcoin to make money.
• People sell their services to earn in Bitcoin and make money. This includes business owners.

Also, keep in mind that some people don't have enough time to rank their accounts here, I'm talking of business owners and individuals who have talents but want to provide their services here. That's why there's a copper member.

I have seen a lot of people who started selling their services here, as newbies but later reached a higher membership.

So, what I'm saying is that this forum might not be an office for you but it's sure an office to someone else. Also, don't be obsessed that all newbies who post their services here are scammers because that's not true. That's why there are escrows here to ensure that every transaction is conducted safely.

Yes, you are a member but that doesn't mean that other people's daily life revolves around here to focus on ranking their accounts under 6 months.

I have had this thought several times before, and last time today in the morning. I think that many of us is not well aware of how lucky they are because they found a hobby that is also profitable.

Most hobbies suppose spending and least time, but in many cases money too, but in our case, although we spend time here, we have the opportunity not to only gain knowledge but to earn some money too. And this is not so typical.

But you are aware that when you acquire the knowledge first, it will be easier for you to make money, with the information we acquire here is what will give us the insight of making money, I'm just capitalising to whom that introduced people here, because I believe if the information they processed to their brothers and lovely ones is to go and make money in bitcointalk, without signatures campaign many people will be offline in bitcointalk, let their interest first be in having the knowledge of bitcoin at hand not to immediately earn money, that's my point

Also, the copper member membership is there for those who do not want to open new topics with "Newbie how to..." guides in order to earn some merit and upgrade their rank.  ;)


In fact, the biggest problem here is that everything is quite transparent, so everyone can see how much someone earned this week in the signature campaign. Imagine in the offline world, a company that pays salaries in front of everyone (employees, associates, casual passers-by...) and clearly emphasizes how much someone earned. Crazy, right?

Why the heck people think about bitcointalk is an office? I think you are the only one thinking about that and not those newbies you mentioned. Also its not bad to think about that you can earn here since there's so many opportunity here. For sure the possibility to earn is maybe the common why people go here. To many learnings we can learn here but also lets not discriminate people want to earn since there are so many things we can do to earn money especially if we are skilled to work with some technical jobs offered around.

Earning is it why forum is being made, do you what to tell me that without Earning forum will not stand, before I made this content I have seen where a newbie asked a question for how he/ she will earn in bitcointalk,  I'm not against Earning but let it not be a priority

When you have earning opportunity then why not utilize it. If there wasn't one then you wouldn't have seen so many topics being created everyday. I disagree with your understanding about this forum. There are users here who are active for 8 hours or more. They are active as they earn using thier signature every week. If a newbie wants to follow the same path then he/she shouldn't be discouraged.  
All they need to do is follow the rules & regulation of the forum. If they are good enough they will get the opportunity to earn too.

The purpose of the forum was to create awareness about Bitcoin. It was also the only place on the Internet where complex queries about Bitcoin were answered. It has been more than a decade now and for gaining knowledge on Bitcoin there are tons of articles available on the internet aswell. When you have multiple options to gain knowledge why you would only rely on the forum now.

It can be their priority too but personally I am against it however they can't grow their rank unless they made contribution to the forum which will get them some merits so they can rank up and participate in campaigns. So the introduction of merit system forced the members of bitcointalk to make quality posts or else they will just stick as newbie forever.

To some people, the forum is literally an office. The forum is really accommodating and accommodate a lot of other things aside bitcoin. People buy and sell their goods on here as well as offer their services for anyone interested.




Someone who seeks to earn would have to open and grow his account. You can write as many posts but won't grow if you don't make any sensible or valuable contributions. You would just have to learn if you want to grow on here.
Also, you can engage yourself in conversations with any thread and not just mostly related to bitcoin.

It depends to the person about how they see the forum either as an office, a classroom (to learn and share) and more. Many people did earn money because of this forum keep in mind that the forum doesn't pay its forum members but rather the company who use the forum as a way to advertise. What most people want with Bitcoin is to earn money and that's the reason why some people do think this forum as an office.

Bitcointalk is a forum that is open to the public, anyone is free to come here and go for various reasons. Yes, Bitcointalk can make money if you know how. You can offer services to make money from Bitcointalk forums, as long as you have signature code designing skills or experience as a manager, you can get money easily from the Forum. It is undeniable that Bitcointalk is a forum for discussing and sharing knowledge about Bitcoin, but behind the points you described above, the factor of making money is an undeniable goal.

Productivity and positive contribution should be the watchword of every forum member. Seeing the forum as an office or classroom is not an issue as long as you are productive. If you feel that your positive and quality engagement or services in the forum are enough to make you use the forum as an office, that's your business. But the forum frowns at members that depend solely on the forum which could drive them to engage in some unwholesome practices.

I think the point OP is making is that some newbies join the forum because they see the forum as a major source of income, which might hinder them from learning. Some of them become even desperate to rank up so that the can earn from signature campaigns. I will always advise them to get a full-time job because nothing is permanent.

That's what forum members should do and this kind of mindset is very good for everyone even though you are a newbie or not because we're also the ones who are benefited from it. Some newbies sees higher rank forum members as experts when the truth is they are also a newbie once ust like everyone else.

Earning here is not a privilege if I'm not mistaken, of course, who wouldn't want to join a signature or bounty campaign and being paid? But for newbies, they thought this is just work or easy path for them. And that's why when they are caught like for example plagiarism, they felt that everyone conspired against them and tell us every reasons that they treat their activity here like a job, which shouldn't be. And I think this is only one reason why the Merit system was introduced in the first place.

Who exactly says so? There are people within this forum who contribute minimally, with just a few posts per day, yet still manage to earn money. These individuals primarily focus on the service board, offering their skills and expertise to earn income. For instance, there are members who specialize in Photoshop and art design, creating Telegram stickers and generating income from them. They are so occupied with their work that they don't have time to promote themselves in forum discussions. In addition, there are users who provide signatures and bounty management without actively engaging in discussions, their exceptional reputation precedes them, even gained the default trust of the global moderator, don't generalize everyone's actions based on a few examples.

It is a previllege to be here present as part of this great forum called Bitcointalk forum, it is high time people concentrate on making contribution on the way forward in regards to Bitcoin and also learning more about BTC and it transactions and everything in it and more which is the main purpose for the creation of this forum. I know everybody want to earn which is most people utmost reason for being here but we have to think beyond that, my question is what if people around you ask you what it takes to invest in Bitcoin what will you say when you have no knowledge of it, I think what we all need as newcomers is to make more research to contribute to the future of this indistructive digital currency (BTC).

Before they started all these i think they notice all these in the forum, or they have be informed before coming to forum, one thing I want you you guys to understand is the basic things of Bitcoin, so therefore learning is the primary agenda, I agree with you not every one is ready to discuss to earn money, some establish their talent and it's what they know before, both of us is saying same, but the one that annoy me most is new person after registering in the forum the next thing to post is how can I earn money in the forum, is forum a tree that produce money??

You can be very correct here in this one. No matter how Op sugarcoats it, he is also here to earn bitcoin. He is not offering services, so he will likely join signature campaign when he gets to full member rank.
It is not bad to earn bitcoin here while you learn, it is one unique nature of this forum that distincts it from other forums.
When I was new in this forum, I do see high rank members who berate lower rank members that they joined the forum to earn, yet the high ranked members were in high pay signature campaigns  ;D.
The irony of it this time is that a member rank is the one berating his fellow new members.

Meanwhile, this forum is an office for people who offer services and signature campaign managers and even people that promotes projects.

No! Let's call a spade by it's name...
Registering in the forum just for the sole aim of getting 'em incentives isn't gonna make anyone ignorant about Bitcoin... it'll even Forster the process as you'll have to learn how to get your coins to wherever you want when you're paid....THATS NOT THE CASE. It's not even possible to rank up and get them micro earnings when you haven't got any knowledge in the first place ... So that shouldn't be a kinda catalyst to entice anyone cus most times, peeps don't even make it up to that point.
We're all obliged to teach and learn in the process so I'll say yes to every other thing you wrote.

I do not think the reason why this forum made is because of earnings.  The forum is made to establish an information portal where members can discuss and exchange thought about Bitcoin which later got popular and earning potentials is established.


Why not? I don't see any problem if the user is prioritizing earnings especially if the newbie goal is to offer services.  The forum offer earnings why not directly take advantage of it?  It is better than wasting time pretending not to prioritize earnings.

To someone who renders services in the forum is here not an office?  I think there's nothing bad if One is being paid for engaging in a campaign hence it is in line with the forum moderation. Now for the newbies who's aim is to get into the signature campaigns to make some funds, is it not going to be frustrating to them knowing that once they aren't getting what they want they can easily get tired and abandon their account? I think anyone who wants to make money needs to learn, grow and able to work for the money because in the forum here, you only work before you get paid and I see nothing wrong if one actually get paid for rendering a service here.

I consider you still as a newbie and no matter how much you paint the story, the truth remains that everyone in one way or the other is attracted to the bonuses and rewards attached to the forum and there are either those who participate  in bounties and others in signature campaigns and some coming to making inquiries and some also coming to promote their business and some are just here rendering some services and in one way all the other, everything is linked to some form of earning money, hence everyone is here to make money and come to think  of it, the bonuses attached to the forum is one of the standing bases of the forum as this also helps get people in check as they will want to make quality post.

Tons of people spend their time learn here in the forum seems like this is their way to learn and at the same time having a knowledge to share, the forum purpose help each member with their concerns, recent problems, curiosity and currently taking path in the world of crypto.
But if you just came here just for the bounty campaign and spam it's far from reality that you could get sources of profit.  It's not an office people just want to read here that's why most of them spending a lot of time here.

Nope it will stand because for so many year this forum exist even though resources or advertisers are limited. Its just the opportunity is booming here so expect that there are people coming here to earn. Its so normal for newbie to ask about how they can earn and its just we just need to advice them that there's no need to rush about earnings and their main focus since they are newbie is to learn. For sure for that they will be inspired to learn more about crypto and this forum since in future they will be rewarded for their efforts they made.

Few words, but a lot of meaning.
I can also confess that I came to this forum by accident after seeing a video on YouTube of how people earned something. I heard the word Bitcoin at the time, but I had no idea that there were dozens of altcoins that people who visit this forum allegedly received for some simple actions. We can say that after 2017, when a bounty was shouted from every iron, there were a lot of people like me. Therefore, today's newbies may come to the forum for the same purpose, but some are very hurried, and either they lack interest since, of course, the topics of the forum are quite unique, or there is not enough time to communicate here and get some privileges to earn money.
Therefore, of course, those people who are trying to learn Bitcoin, infected with the atmosphere of the forum and receiving some more bonuses, will talk about it as the most interesting place.

The bounty section is the clear picture of this, so many members sign up here to do bounty works to get free tokens and hope these tokens will have value in the future, these newbie hunters do not have a clear understanding of this forum because they are inspired by early bounty hunters who made a lot from doing bounty works, so it's not surprising we have newbie accounts with over thousands of posts with no contribution to other section of this forum, they are confined to bounty section.

This is the ideal way to earn here, make a good contribution first, and get incentivized follows.

It's not an office, you are correct however it's a world inside a world. Every world has some limited rules which are required to be followed, so take it in that way.
And yes, you can share whatever you believe and your ideas without any fear and being anonymous here in this forum however that doesn't give you any right to hinder the forum rules.

Apart from being a place to share knowledge and discuss Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, the Bitcointalk forum can also be a place for promotion because there are many people from all over the country who visit here for reasons other than the goal of making money. I think what you have said and also what the OP has explained makes sense because there are indeed a number of things and benefits that everyone can get through this forum.

Why so serious? It seems his suggestions triggered you! I did not find anything offensive in his thread. He pointed out some good things that newbies can follow. I don't know why you are so aggressive towards him. Yes, He is a newbie who can learn more from this forum. I consider myself a newbie, and some legendaries still consider themselves newbies. No matter how much you have learned, there are still many things you might not know. So, there is always a scope o learn. Even though he is a newbie, can't he suggest others not make the mistake that he may make while exploring the forum? Don't disappoint others with your bullshit arguments if you have nothing to add.

This is correct, as Bitcointalk is a forum for engaging in meaningful discussions that add value to the forum and its members who are interested in learning, regardless of their ranks. There are several boards available in the forum covering a wide range of topics from which you can learn. Simply choose a board that suits your interests and engage in discussions there.

There's nothing wrong with coming here to make your first Bitcoin. This forum offers a wide range of opportunities. First, you can gain enough knowledge and then try to share and help others. By doing so, you can rank up and later on explore ways to earn some money through signature campaigns or even by starting a business in the marketplace. There are plenty of things you could do.
 
This is really important. Seeking merits won't be the best approach here. First, learn how to make constructive posts of good quality. Then, you won't need to ask for merits because you'll normally receive them without even asking if you posts are good enough.

This is obvious tho; it's Bitcointalk so yeah we are talking about anything related to Bitcoin.

There are many other forums that exist but focus on other subjects and some general knowledge. People who are members of this from are strictly there to contribute and learn from various discussions. This forum is not different from those other forum. If those people did not consider their forum as an office then we also should not see this forum as an office but a place to share knowledge and learn about bitcoin as people interested in it. I have learnt many things since I joined this forum and I always say that I am happy to be here. I still see myself as a newbie because the more I learn, the more I discover that there is much more that I do not know, it is exciting and I expect to learn more.

There is nothing wrong earning money from forum whether it's from signature campaigns, selling goods or offer services. Good posters can earn money from their signatures. Some people only do bounties, that's not wrong either. Everybody have their own use style of forum. You don't necessarily join conversations about Bitcoin, there are a lot of different parts of forum.
Most newbies are not new users here anyway. Usually it's a new account from an old user or invited by an old user. There's only a few people who join the forum in 2023 by hearing it or crypto-currencies new.

The subject of your topic it's subjective bitcoin may not be an office for you but for some others it may be one of many of  their offices they source income from. There are some people here with services they render like skills through bitcoin and earn. Soem persons are professional traders that have built their career in bitcoin trading and other cryptocurrencies that they earn from it as source of income through which they pay their bills.
It's just an optional feat to take on or leave as an office or not.

Well, let's not kid ourselves. Here provides a sort of succour for a lot of people and puts food on the table. We can't act like we don't know this. The truth about calling somewhere an office isn't just leaving home in the morning and getting back in the evening for 30 days and getting paid salary. If one can stay in the comfort of one's home and earns something that greases one's table, there should be a very justifiable intent to term such a place an office. This is what Bitcointalk does for a lot of users, especially those unemployed or those underemployed.

This is true, especially now that Bitcoin has gained more traction. Pre-2018, I'm sure a lot of people stumbled on this forum without prior knowledge they could earn here. I happened on this forum by a stroke of luck through search. A few days after registration I stumbled on the Service Section and discovered I could also earn while learning and being active here. It was a sort of encouragement, honestly. I don't think there is any other site that does what BTT does on this.

Yep, I think the reason people don't get bothered here with what they earn being put out there or the openness of the process is because it's an anonymous community we've here in Bitcointalk. Naturally, most people won't get comfortable letting others know what they earn offline. We've such situation even among spouses.

One of the major reasons why this community is created is to pass information amd for the promotion of Bitcoin as digital currency. We can see that Bitcoin is growing very fats and we need to keep the adoption going. Yes, the forum now is becoming a place where we can learn, give our own opinion and earn at the same time.

Bitcointalk forum is an open forum that welcomes anyone who wants to learn and have knowledge of bitcoin irrespective of their tribe or gender. Anyone that chooses to make it his or her office by rendering service is his or her business as long as they are not going contrary to the rules and regulations of the forum or trying to scam forum members.  

Newbies that see the forum as their major source of income or their office is based on what they have seen and the information given to them by the people who introduce them to the forum and they tend to go with that mindset and reasoning about  the forum, which they now presumed as the forum they can earn and depend on

It's the usual reason that people are earning from here that's why they are looking at this forum as like an office. It's kinda weird that people are even looking at this forum as more than how it is made. People using their profiles as like resume, lmao and it leads them to overcomplicating stuffs in here.

The only thing wrong is there are users continue to break rules in here especially ban evasion. The begging is so real that they think that they had not done the same thing for almost 3 times.

---

If people would be here to earn money, it might be better off going for data entry or an article in freelancing sites and heck you can even set prices for yourself at that. Imagine that you'll be in millions (or thousands?) of bounty hunters here that might cause lower prices of shitcoins and you think that it is already the ceiling of their earnings.

Earning in the forum shouldn't be a problem,because I don't think that there will be anyone who is not learning that will grow in the forum in terms of rank. This forum is just like our physical world where in your environment, there are opportunities to make income and instead of grabbing it,you just let it go. A man needs money to survive, in order for him to meet up with his daily needs. If you consider making income from here through signature campaign, this is what will motivate you to be more serious in learning so that you can rank up fast to a full member, where you can easily promote a company and get paid.
OP, is sounding as if,assuming there is a member signature campaign in the forum, he will not apply and start earning.

The information given to newbies might be the reason they think that way but to me I see nothing wrong in taking Bitcointalk as an office, because you only take what's important to you very seriously. If newbies take this Forum as a play ground I don't think the zeal of coming or staying active and even struggling to get a quality post would be there. We must tell ourselves the truth, in as much as we came here to learn and contribute to this forum I must say that earning is part of why we're here, some might disagree but that's the truth. If not so then OP why are you here? Is it to just come online and greet other users or post then logout? I don't think so.



I agree with you on that but when you say it shouldn't be taken as an office [Bitcointalk] then why all these? All these things you mentioned should even be the main reason why you should take Bitcointalk as your office, you shouldn't come here and joke with what you cherish if not moderators and higher ranked members would allow negative things to go on (spamming, plagiarism, scammers to freely do there thing, e.t.c). So to me, taking Bitcointalk as an office would make every user take here serious without messing up.


The merit part is really tempting to newbies, ones they know that this is what would rank you up then boom, lack of concentration would come in, is hard but I'd still say newbies should also try and be flexible. When you expect much you'd get nothing but whenever you expect less the results will make you smile. Being in a conversation concerning Bitcoin and other topics would even boost your recognition in the Forum. That's why I'll always say your ideas are needed here in Bitcoin. Let's take Bitcoin as a place of work (an office) and also a school.

You are correct that many people earn money through forums such as signature campaigns, but in order to perform well in any campaigns, you must first rank up. To rank up, you must make quality posts and participate in forum discussions that will earn you merits. Additionally, before participating in any quality forum discussions, you must have a thorough understanding of bitcoin because without it, nothing will be accomplished.
Some newbies give up because of their perceptions of forums, believing that they are merely places where you can get what you want. I would like to share this information with every newbie, not because I know more than they do but rather because I am a fellow forum member who understands that everything must be learned.

I was invited by a friend before that we can earn something on forum. So thats my understanding first then imitate them. Of course the first thing comes to my mind was earning, and doing some free task or campaign on altcoins. But that change when I understand the point of forum. I studied it, learn the rules and change my style to be a human not a robot pasting links of reports on social campaigns. Maybe if I started as a newbie without thinking on how to earn I maybe more serious at first. Anyway sharing my past. Hope everyone could change too.

I recalled someone posting a picture of a "farm"; people actually sitting around a table posting with different accounts to earn from bounty/ signature campaigns lol

Hahaha, it seems my reply affected you so much, lol. It's not an argument in any way, we are just exchanging opinions.

I'm not against people learning from this forum. Read the title of this thread and comment again!

If possible read my reply to OP again!

OP made some good suggestions on what newbies should learn here.

But that's not the case with my reply to him. I still disagree with the Topic that "Bitcointalk is not an office" because it's in fact an office to 90% of people here. For instance, it's much like saying "Linkedin is not an office" People are there to learn and make money mostly. In fact, it's all about making money.

The same applies here. Also, looking at you are profile, you have already joined a signature campaign to make money. If you still consider yourself a newbie, continue learning, and don't join any signature campaign to make money.

All of us are here to make money via Bitcoin. While most people are ready to rank their account here to make money through signature campaigns and gain meaningful connections, there are people who don't have time to do so (that's why there are copper members). I made a comment about this issue in my other posts.


Almost everybody here including the rich people and poor people is here to make money while maybe learning as well. You can't tell me that the first thing on your mind when you heard about Bitcoin isn't about making money - However, in the process of trying to make money with Bitcoin, you may be forced to learn things about Bitcoin that you don't already know.

Let's not focus on what we think Bitcointalk forum may be but what it's currently is.

Oh, I noticed that your name here is LearnBitcoin, that explains your thoughts on this topic.

OP is right about what he's saying because if all these companies (mixer) that are hiring Bitcointalk users stop hiring workers many will not be on these forum regularly and some will not be active or neither come online forever but that doesn't mean, the truth of the matter is that almost everyone here will evaluate the forum rules because they are no longer getting what they want as before, What I understand about these forum on the aspect of joining a campaign for INSTANCE we all are still little and going to school to learn most of our guidance or relations normally gives us money or foods to school so as not to be hungry or have interest in what others are bringing to school, what I want to say is while we are on these forum to learn about Bitcoin it's also good to gain other things so it can motivate the users to always be regular on the forum just like using one stone to hit two birds. (🐦)

Bitcointalk is not an office, company or government institution that guarantees that someone can get money, this is a forum for discussion about bitcoin and also a place for sharing knowledge. Behind that Bitcointalk can be used as a field where you can make money "if" you know how, you will be even more interested in the Bitcointalk forum when you can wear a hat on your profile and then be accepted in the paid Bitcoin signature campaign. Simply put, besides being able to increase knowledge from information shared by other users, you can earn dollars from signature campaigns.

You can also sell services on the Services (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0) board as other users who have certain skills do, I think you will take advantage of the situation of making extra money on the forum when the road is open. I am very sure, you will do both learn the advantages and disadvantages of bitcoin while making money in your own way.

Maybe I agree in the above pint, at a minimum being able to educate yourself about Bitcoin and other digital currencies means learning about the technology, market trends, and the risks involved and then being able to make more informed and potentially profitable decisions in the future. When participating in forums, don't get too caught up in looking for "merit", which is the reputation system in Bitcointalk. Instead, focus on creating quality posts and engaging in meaningful conversations. This way, you can at least contribute to the community and establish yourself as a valued member.

It is also important to engage in conversations that are primarily Bitcoin related. By focusing on Bitcoin related topics, we can deepen our understanding and connect with like-minded people who share the same interests.

How about learning and earning at the same time? If newbies have the goals of earning through the forum only they will do all the mistakes on the forum and they will either get banned or red trust, there is no way you will come om this forum without learning something first before earning, that's if you have interest in that, not all members on this forum are promoting projects to earn money.

I am promoting a project to earn some Bitcoin weekly, why not? I am only trying to keep the excitement of increasing my Bitcoin through campaigns and through dollar cost averaging, so far it makes a lot of sense and my Bitcoin is growing.

Even though it looks easy to earn money on forums, it takes a long time before an account can earn if speaking in the context of participating in signature campaigns. You have gone through several stages before being accepted into the signature campaign, concentrating on understanding the information on the forum and then learning from other users has shaped you from a Newbie to a Full Member.

Efforts to earn money on forums are not easy, it takes time and patience for an account to generate income. Those who give up mostly want to get income instantly without wanting to go through challenges on the forum, the challenge I mean is getting merit by making quality posts. You have benefited from the efforts so far, Newbies need to learn from you if the goal of joining here is to earn money.

What you said is correct but everyone has their motive of joining the forum. I hope you will answer these questions you asked in later days. People will still ask you these questions again too. Everyone gets this knowledge from the newbie to the legendary level. In the number two. Most people came to the forum with that mindset and that is why they are caught with plagiarism and got ban. Bitcoin is a new course introduced in the world and the best place to learn is here. So anyone who is interested to know bitcoin is accepted to come here and learn. Merit only comes when you have understand what you are saying.

You're sort of right. You did a great job by posting this because we all have to be guided by what we don't know if we all don't get to know this at the same time. Without making money on this forum, the majority of people won't be active. However, one thing has been said that we are all always available at places where we can get our daily bread. As a newbie, it is really good to know more about bitcoin before starting thinking otherwise that we should just get into it and start earning money as we think it.
Without learning more about bitcoin and this forum, we will eventually lose interest, which will result in nothing positive happening.

It is true that some newbies are taking the forum seriously as it is their source of living with no intention to put effort in learning. Maybe they got referred in the forum by someone who use this forum for bounty and that is why they think this is something where they have to maintain some office level quality.

Members who solely register here for $ might not last, interest in cryptocurrency is foremost. I myself referred few friends here, yes I told them they could earn money here but they soon left because they didn't have knowledge about crypto and neither had interest to start the journey.

Firstly there's a reason this forum has some privileges that gives its members the opportunity to make money while they're members of the forum. We're in the 21st century and social medias where we spend majority of our time has implemented an avenue for their members to be able to monetize their hobbies and passions, the forum couldn't be any different. The forum isn't against you making money while you're using the forum but against abusing such privilege or using the forum just for the sore purpose of making money from here. We shouldn't have the mindset of just making money from the forum but are free to do so when the opportunity comes that's why we have service boards for announcing service we can offer for exchange for Bitcoin.

Newbies shoudn't consider the forum as just an avenue to make money or they'll miss the beauty of the forum. The forum should be used as a medium to pass on knowledge to the younger generation of Bitcoiner and a means to learn from the OGs that were in the game before we came. There are lots of knowledge on the forum and this should be our main focus (how to benefits for those knowledge) and not how to make money. Knowledge and Information is wealth and that should be our focused any other thing should be extra.

I want to listen people does not like something that will disturb your head because many people have come here and also go because they don't understand what is actually happening here but from what I said so far I believe that here cannot be now an office the purpose why here is being created is to interact with each other in order to know how bitcoin and the technology works so this is the purpose not to buy any money from the forum

I love the fact you realized sooner than later about this topic, OP.
The features that would first and furmostly distinguish the term 'office', is the presence of physical structure or space or work area.  This is one thing this forum don't have, as it can be likened to an almost decentralized social platform, just like the cryptocurrencies it hopes to tell more about.

Secondly, it is more or less like an online hangout community where there are many persons with one common language or common interest, which in this case is Bitcoin, Altcoins, shit coins, meme coins and the likes.

Mostly futuristic is the approach with which Bitcointalk is functioning and can't be in anyway compared to an office with steady paychecks, overbearing supervisors or bosses, wierd work buddies, even with the remote access and video stream exceptions most companies make.

Bitcoin is not an office but a community where we can interact with others and give opinions based on what we think.
It all depends on how we see the forum and what we are really doing here. It is obvious that we can monetize our writeup by joining signature campaigns which is cool but that should not make us to think of not having a job that would fetch us some money as a Bitcoin investor. There are many things we can do here by trying to get information that would help us in our research, reading and leaning, monetizing our skills and many more.

Holy crap, I know what you're talking about. I think The Sceptical Chymist received that kind of PM long time ago, lmao. I'll edit this post once I found it. :D

Edit: I think this was the one that you're talking about. I can also recall marlboroza posting the same stuff but they all had that "Bitcoin Tshirt" and they were all in one community, iirc. :D

Lol, bingo!

Bitcointalk can never be an office. Though, there's a monetary benefit attached for using the platform but that should not be at the back of your mind, especially as a beginner because if you want to go down that path, you would definitely miss the big picture. A newbie should see the forum as a place to garner knowledge and valuable information about bitcoin and other crypto related stuffs that can be really helpful. Then, if the person has other skills or services he/she can render and be rewarded for it, then the person can go for it.

To me i see BITCOINTALK forum as a kind of university (LECTURE HALL) because there is no kind of information you wont find here probably learn things from good quality POST. on the other hand we are all here to learn something that is going to take us along way in the crypto space not excluding other financial services.

If we are being very frank we won't be putting all the blames on newbies, yes we understand the human mind keeps searching for wealth or money to sustain ourselves, but I would blame the people that are inviting newbies into the forum they are mostly the reason that newbies has a twisted thought about the forum and are oriented into believe you are only here for money.

I am lucky that I wasn't having that thought when joining the forum but many newbies face this issues and it takes the dedicated once to actually retrace their steps and start to do the right thing. I think we should start telling and guiding the newbies properly when inviting them into the forum.

Personally I think that earning money or incentives can be a motivating factor for people to be more committed to reach their desired goals. So I think that it doesn't matter if it's money that is the motivating factor for a newbie, or he considers bitcoitalk as an office, what matters is that you have to be committed and follow the rules and regulations of the forum in order for you to be ranked.  Let money or whatever motivate you, but get the job done first, learn passionately about bitcoin and all it's complex technicalities and terminologies, learn how to make money with bitcoin, make your contributions in the forum with quality posts. Hopefully in the short or long term, reward will come.

You are probably right and I would also say that the people who invite new people to the forum by telling them that they can earn money from here are the ones who should be blamed for all the spam and newbies having the mindset that this forum is some kind of office where people can do jobs and earn money while they are unaware of the fact that the earnings from the forum are only a kind of a reward for quality posters.

Newbies start inquiring about how they can earn merits, how they can join signature campaigns, and how they can earn money right after joining the forum instead of asking about anything related to Bitcoin, blockchain, cryptocurrencies, or anything like that which the forum is actually for.

The bitcointalk forum is certainly the majority of posts containing discussions about bitcoin and other cryptos. Because this forum was built to discuss questions or problems about bitcoin and crypto. Then if understood and examined more deeply, I'm sure the majority of members in this forum definitely want money. But by first learning about bitcoin or crypto science. Such as learning about the techniques that must be used to trade on the crypto market. Then the learning can be obtained through discussion among fellow members of the forum. So in essence the members who join this forum, when viewed from the earliest intentions, are definitely aiming for the profit aspect, which is obtained from cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin.

And in my opinion, if beginners think about money or profits when joining this forum, I don't think they are completely wrong. The most important thing is that these beginners can still contribute well to this forum and not violate the rules and conditions of the forum.

Yeah, Bitcointalk is not an office, and the points you made are valid, but the thing is, people get on the forum based on a reference from someone who gives them full hope of how they can start earning a living if they join the forum, and that's why most people just rely on the SATs they earn each week. I remember the ban appeal of DiMarxist (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5454950.0), where he was begging to get unbanned, stating that he is a student, which means he's probably relaying on the signature payment he receives here as funds to see him through his academics. Of course, it's not bad to get some side hustle jobs to earn money from, but only relying on them is not a wise thing to do. My mentor on the forum (...) would always say that, "In some situations, what we count as a realiable source of income may not be realiable." Users can just see payment from campaigns as a way of receiving incentives from their contribution and, as a side-hustle, let them get some real work to do, learn a skill with the payment they earn from signatures, or perhaps even start a business.

Cheers 🥂, Dr.Bitcoin_Strange 👺👺

Agree.


Agree and disagree. Many users signed up on this forum for several reasons and earning in bitcoin on the side while learning about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies could be another reason. It doesn't stop one from from the good, ugly sides of bitcoin and the market.

Agree. And you learn by contributing. You learn too by participating in signature campaigns. Some signature campaigns select prominent members of the forum. This could spur a newbie to want to be a prominent member and that is through getting more involved in the discussion that goes on here.

Agree.

Agree and disagree. Being conscious of merits reduces the rate at which one makes low quality posts becasue only high quaity posts gets merits 9 out of 10 times.

Disagree. Know about economics and gambling and the rest. Bitcoin is only a part of the whole and not the whole itself. Be versatile.

Bitcointalk is a learning and acquiring knowledge on bitcoin platform. Even though you don't have the basic knowledge on bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, you can learn a lot from here. So what the person has to do is to observe the activities of the forum. Before start posting. But I know that everyone has their own way of joining the forum.

Bitcointalk is a learning and educating platform and not to do gossiping and other bad activities. I welcome everyone both the old and new members to the forum.

You are right there, because there are others here who are members of the forum, they give a different meaning to the others who are newbies, saying that the only reason they are here is to find income from bitcoin or crypto.

Even if we say that others only aim to gain knowledge about bitcoin, cryptocurrency and trading, of course as time goes by opportunity also for them if they become eligible there is nothing wrong if while they are studying here they can also earn It's just that the others are just malicious and have something to say, but after all, those who think like that are also making money here on the forum.

I don't think there's anything wrong if we join here with the aim of earning money as well as to discuss sharing experiences and seeking knowledge, because after all we really need money so I think if we can earn money here there's nothing wrong if we are looking for money here while discussing and add insight.

I think we as members of the forum should enjoy everything that is available here.
because most importantly we have to comply with the rules of this forum.

Really nothing is wrong with what you saying but where the problem lies is when members put that EARNING first, like it makes it the main purpose of joining the Forum in the first place. Everybody needs money no doubt but you have to check your surroundings and ask yourself "is this the main reason (just to earn) for this place to be alive up till now?"
To me when you come here in the Forum, do the needful I know everyone has a target but don't let that Earning stuff get into your head, make this Forum a place that you need to get and sharing your knowledge about Bitcoin, contribute, get yourself well known especially the new ones before you know it what you had in mind will just be presented on your table without you knowing.
Bitcointalk might not be an office to few but it is to many and they respect everything that goes on in here and they won't want to go against any rules and regulations of this Forum. Those who sees this place as an office are those who respect this place with everything they've got, because you only take good care of something that's important to you and you devote your time to it.

Don't pretend, a lot of new accounts aren't here to really learn, some of them want to make money and they've heard that you can make money here by posting and so that's become their goal. I mean there's nothing wrong with trying to make a quick buck in the forum, aside from learning stuff about cryptocurrency and bitcoin there's nothing wrong but it should never be your priority if you want to be an active member of the forum because the money you earn equates to your rank and given how difficult it is to rank up especially for the upstarts. But I think that this topic isn't really for the newbies, this is for the people that are on campaigns and are just trying to get by with their posting at such a low quality.

I agree with you, your list here is actually true, bitcointalk is a place where a lot of people with different motives come together to either discuss and transact and all with the intention of making money. There are miners inverstors, traders and people with other services come here to carryout their several services and to some they see bitcointalk as an office, they can’t do without it and they just have to be here everyday to earn for themselves. It’s more like an office where the workers have different goals to accomplish.

Everyone here have different services they provide which in turn they earn money from regardless of their rank. Some people rank up their accounts to perform advertising services for some companies and sone rank up along the line while contributing to the forum in their own way. We all have different motives so to OP bitcointalk is not an office but to some it their office.

Nobody is obligated to rank up their accounts by force but having an high rank account will give you reputation and will be easier for people to trust you and make your work more easier for you. Newbie accounts have the  ones carrying out scam activities the most that’s why it is difficult for people to trust a new account since creating the account is free they wouldn’t have anything to lose.

People have life outside of the forum so working here doesn’t mean you don’t do anything other than the forum.

The forum is made of all kinds of people with different needs from the forum, and the fact that we have the people making money through the running of a business such as a mixer, casino, selling of all kinds of services and this can pretty much be called an office only difference from the traditional setups is that this one exists online and people that treat Bitcointalk as an office aren't far off either.

Am certain the primary goal is to share crypto knowledge with others but what good is this knowledge if it cannot be  infused with other services we get IRL ??

Basically, this BTT forum was created to discuss the world of crypto, especially Bitcoin. So your opinion is not wrong at all. However, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong if beginners or members of the BTT forum have the intention of earning income or getting bitcoins. Because everything is available on this forum and is open to all members of the BTT forum who have met the requirements (quality of posts, rank and number of achievements). So I don't think this is a problem. Because the most important thing is that beginners or members can contribute well to this forum.

Apart from that, being able to earn income in the form of bitcoin on this forum makes each member even more enthusiastic in expanding their knowledge about the world of crypto, bitcoin and so on. So in my opinion being able to earn income in the form of bitcoin on this forum will have a very positive impact on the members of this forum. Then another positive impact is that many members of this forum are helped economically. Therefore, I don't think this needs to be debated. Because this has a very positive impact and the most important thing is that every member follows the rules in this BTT forum well.

That's right, crypto (bitcoin) is the main focus of discussion material in this forum. However, currently it is not just crypto (bitcoin) that is being discussed in this forum, but there are various things being discussed. Such as economics, politics and gambling. So I think the BTT forum now has a very complex and multi-information discussion path.

I don't really mind people think about bitcointalk as their workplace since there are so many businesses and service providers are staying here then get some decent deals or jobs comes from many people around the globe. That's why if they think about earning money here then its fine since its up to those people on what is their intention on why they use this forum and we can't force people to believe the same as what we think since majority here are staying to find good opportunity to earn money. Maybe it will be wrong to make this as something similar to that if those people use this platform as their venue or what OP called an office to make their planned scamming to happen since this is really not good action also a decision to be made by those scammers. I also believe that main goal of people is to learn a lot of knowledge here and earning is a bonus which if it came then it serve as a reward for the effort made by those hard working people.

Initially the BitcoinTalk forum was pioneered by Satoshi as a medium for exchanging information on Bitcoin, Altcoins and other things related to technology, but several crypto project campaigns or gambling sites emerged with the aim of increasing the prestige of their brand, now I myself am very grateful to be able to make money from this forum. I also got a lot of new knowledge about technology and also economic news that comes from this forum, in essence this is a really extraordinary forum, it would be a shame if you joined this forum just to chase money.

It's also pertinent to mention that this forum didn't start giving incentives at its inception for posting through signature campaigns. It took a while, though I can't say how long that was, before campaigns became a thing here. I read some past posts dating as far back as 2011 and there wasn't a thing as that then. I like to be corrected on this if I'm wrong. What that simply means it that this forum has really metamorphosed.

Take a look at the way managers are coming up with different rules for enrollment now. In the recent past of yesterday, it wasn't so. Users on the same rank who got accepted into campaigns were paid the same thing. We can't say it's the same today on all campaigns. There are payment strata now for users of the same tank in some campaign, owing to merit difference. So, we can't say of certainty that there won't come a time when campaigns would be gone here. I know a lot of us wouldn't want to hear that 😂 but then we ought to know that change is the only constant thing in life.

How does this work in the forum? I will love to know more about it. Can someone guide me through the link to go to get information about this.

I think it evens out in the end. Even if you register here merely to earn money, without your interest in crypto, you won't fund your stay here pleasurable and sooner or later you will leave, do you reckon any account staying for long time without any interest?

We have the same understanding about forums, and we know that the vision and mission of this forum was created to discuss everything related to bitcoin.

But as time goes by, Bitcoin develops, as well as the crypto industry, which gets very significant adoption from year to year, which forces open forums to be more flexible in response to developments in the industrial era. and bringing new ideas into the forum to create the forum atmosphere it is today.

Now this forum doesn't just discuss bitcoin, it seems that today the forum discusses much more complex things about this world, for people who have any purpose in today's forum, even if they don't intend to learn bitcoin they can still get the knowledge they are looking for here. , because today forums have multi-functions that can be used by anyone, including earning income.

There is nothing wrong if you are providing a service or running a business through the forum, the problem is if you joined the forum just for the purpose of earning money through bounty campaigns and signature campaigns which are basically a bonus feature of the forum and aren't the primary focuses of the forum since the beginning.

Again, you can't go to a hospital and say that you are not there to get some treatment because most people would expect that based on where you are. So, if the primary purpose of the forum is to gain and share knowledge about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, people would expect someone to be here for that, mostly.

That is what it's all about, when you take the earnings as a bonus for your contribution, that's basically the right thing, but if you are here only for that purpose, you are basically not doing it the right way.

Satoshi Nakamoto founded this forum when he found Bitcoin in 2009. At the earlier stage, this platform is only for the discussion. The aim of Satoshi to make a means for the user who discusses problems or issues arising in the Bitcoin blockchain here because he was the first person who started the blockchain and it's possible that people may not understand it and problems arise in it. Blockchain enthusiasts, developers, and crypto investors discuss topics about Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and the blockchain. But nowadays the forum is very vast and it holds many sections about bitcoin and cryptocurrency. The ICO brought the project here and spread their community by starting a campaign here and paid users and this is why people who are listing about the forum for others think that this is just office work for them and get money but actually, it is something else.

The primary aim of the forum is purely for bitcoin discussions. In as much as other cryptocurrencies has seen the platform as a way to show that they exist following the lead of bitcoin then its not a bad idea. Even as they decided to spend some little money to advertise their new technologies.  I feel that its more  like a means of encouraging members of the forum to actively participate in creating good dialogues and having interesting conversations here in the forum. At least this system has helped kept a lot of reputable members here actively. But anyone who have the mindset that the forum is a place for work or an office is having the wrong mindset i don't want to elaborate more on that because a lot of replies here are pointing to that direction. We should accept the benefit the platform has given to us and appreciate it by continuously improving the quality of our post so that the forum can be conducive for everyone here.

That is its hobby and money are two motivations that keep on in a particular place for a long time without being weary of how much time is spentt really,  alot of the members here have learn one or two things that they have put in practice and recorded positive results in the aftermath,  and such result and outcome will always prompt opst to continue with being active member of the forum.


So is a win win really,  when we earn and learn at the same time, and I can bet you, the knowledge gained within the space of time you being active is really worth even more than the money aspect of things.

it will happen to people who don't just rely on forums to earn income. those who have jobs out there may also be related to like to discuss in forums about certain topics. The knowledge gained can indeed exceed the value of the money obtained from the forum.

but I have met many members who specifically focus on increasing the number of their accounts to participate in bounty campaigns. they are only interested in the small amount of money earned from the campaign. and it will not make them interested in discussions or information on the forum.
However, everyone has their own goals for remaining active on the forum.

I kind of disagree with you @ O.P, because I believe that bitcointalk can either be an office or not, depending on the individual and what skill he/she has to offer to the public, because for example, people who create "campaign Signature, campaign Avatar, and campaign Manager", bitcointalk can be an office to them. But for an ordinary individual who has no skill to offer, bitcointalk can not be an office to such person.

And likewise those who has skill can also earn money by offering their services

Yes, it depends, but only when you have a high demand skill to offer as a newbie to start earning immediately you come into the forum

Yes, because merit is meant to be a reward for quality contribution or solution to a problem answered.

I disagree with your statement. There are some members who make the forum an office, and some of them do not even participate in any signature campaigns. If you have any skills, you can decide to sell them on the forum here, and people will patronise you. I don’t see anything bad in it. You can join the forum with the mindset of making money, and you will still be contributing positively to the forum. You will see forum members displaying their services on the service board, and they are also quality posters.

Some newbies create accounts to earn, but they might end up having an interest in bitcoin, and they will be a quality poster. If you can check some member’s posting histories, you will see a noticeable improvement in their posts. Any newbie that creates an account and is not ready to learn won’t be able to rank up. Most of them will end up participating in bounty campaigns or leaving the forum since they can’t get what they want.

Yes that's right. Both must be one goal, because this forum is very special if it can be used well. Bitcointalk is the first discussion forum to discuss bitcoin, bitcoin was even created in this forum. Of course, the bitcoin lessons on this forum are very complete and reliable.

Apart from information and knowledge about Bitcoin, of course the BitcoinTalk forum can make money if you really take advantage of the opportunities available on this forum. I also think without income, maybe the account won't last long on this forum. If they've learned everything, they'll probably leave the forum.

Their is no big deal if the forum has different way of generating money for its members, it is a good thing. This forum is all about bitcoin and we know what bitcoin is all about good value.  Their is value in bitcoin and if the forum is adding financial value to it members that means bitcoin is proving the opportunity it has  to members that their can be benefit from it.

It is up to individuals to see the forum as an office or not,  since it has many opportunities.  the only thing members just need to do for the forum is to obey the rules and regulations and know the main purpose of the forum which is to share knowledge and discuss about bitcoin,  when people are trying to make money as their only target in the forum and not contributing anything good this when they are abusing the forum.

to leave the forum I think not, especially for those who really have an interest in Bitcoin and Crypto. Even though they are busy with work or whatever in the real world, it seems like there are still many people who come to forums to update information, even though there are quite a lot of social media nowadays that are developing more easily and quickly.
those who have an interest in Bitcoin, I'm sure will not leave the forum, maybe there is less activity on the forum. because it cannot be denied, this forum has the attraction of signature and bounty campaigns. although it is not directly related to the forum, but there is a place for people to create such services.

Use bct how you please.
I've attempted many ventures here,shared results, sought technical support, provided as well. I think we all "Use" this community for our own prerogative, the signature campaigns and rulesets should imply this is infact a place to earn but reading between the lines shows it's better to learn before trying to earn. I'm pretty sure I joined to collect a bounty. Admittedly the forums do seem to be on a decline these days.

That doesn't mean that you have learned something it is time to decline all of the possible resources, and information that can be used to enlighten you about the crypto world again every day, week or month possible some changes, new, and adaptations with the use of the cryptocurrency, this as always one of the wide knowledge. Also, not the time experience what other experience in the field of crypto you've joined with, It is ideal to use the forum to exchange information other than the source of information outside, there's a lot of information broad right there and with the help of the forum that break it down into pieces of other members too so could help with your concerns. People here come in different ways some of them want to offer services and want to learn i guess a signature campaign is just a small reward for those contributions and knowledge you gained.

First thing we should know is that the objective of this forum is not to generate money, it's meant ror bitcoin discussion, but in doing so, there are laid down opportunities that were allowed for any serious and committed members to enjoy part of them is a signature campaign, if you're earning bitcoin through this means, then count it a privilege because some couldn't get thesame avenue you had, there are more other benefits you stand to gain aside signature campaign only if you're able to meet up with their conditions, but how much longer are we still going to remain here, even if these additional advantages are no more.

Where did you get this information? Because as far as I know, there's no definitive information about where Bitcoin was created since Bitcoin is decentralized and operates on a peer-to-peer network. Bitcointalk.org is the first bitcoin discussion center actually but saying bitcoin was created in this forum is somehow questionable and I will appreciate it if you can share what I am missing.

Secondly, is it possible to learn everything? Actually NO! this forum has become a bitcoin discussion platform just like other social media we visit without having any benefit other than burning our data. It's unarguable that signature campaigns make the forum to generate more traffic but even without it, a reasonable number of people will be here to continue with what the forum is meant for.

If the member is here to learn everything then I think the member will be staying here in the forum forever.  Bitcoin learning is not like school learning where one has to graduate and leave the school.  Bitcoin learning is continuous.  The Bitcoin market is forever changing, the Bitcoin technology is also forever changing (Bitcoin tech development). 

Bitcoin mining equipment is also ever-changing, the software and programs used for storing Bitcoin are also ever-changing.   There are also new services popping up every now and then.  So learning the Bitcoin ecosystem is almost an eternity.  So a member of this forum will always have new information ahead which makes people who are entirely for learning trapped in this forum forever because it is not possible to learn everything as long as there is updates and upgrades of services and technology that revolves around Bitcoin.

As all these things are related to one another, if there is a talk about the bitcoin, trading also comes in discussions, even bitcoin is also a part of trading. Am I right? Because we have seen trading is spreading very faster, there was a time when no one know about the trading at my family, my relatives and my friends etc. But today they all have some better information about the trading, about the bitcoin, about online earning etc. All these information spreads through discussions at different places.

Although newbie came there to learn things and wants to expert themselves and they also wants to earn from crypto as well. So, this could be really beneficial for all of the users to engage themselves in different trading talks and get the valuable points in between them.

I was also a beginner and thought Bitcointalk was a place where I could earn a lot of money with various bounty and airdrop campaigns. But it turns out it's not just that, at bitcointalk we can give our own opinions freely and no one will stop us. Bitcointalk is run by the community and for the community. But for me now Bitcointalk is my second home to start talking about anything about bitcoin technology and such. being able to express ourselves without fear about our identity. Bitcointalk is a suitable place for me to live.

A hobby that pays you is the best form of having fun, just like a post I saw on X which says, " get yourself three hobbies, one they pays you, another that keeps you fit and one that makes you smart. And I see sense in these. I would like to put it to you dear OP if this forum wasn't having any means of monitising your activities you wouldn't be dedicated to becoming a quality member of this forum and that's why you already have a campaign signature on your profile.

I understand your post are very important for newbies like us to take not but making the monitory aspect looking like it's not important is a point I will not agree totally with you because every person who has got any knowledge about Bitcoin wants to look for a way to monitize it at the end of the day because that's the way to make useful the information they have, that's how they generate quality post.

I don't really know much about bounty hunting because I've never been interested in it, but if it goes on the forum and it's allowed then it's not a bad thing. The reason bounty hunting is in the forum is for people to participate in it. If bounty hunting is allowed on the forum then it can't be that bad, besides, I don't see how it contributes negatively to the forum.
Bounty hunting won't stop people who actually want to learn from learning. The forum is built in a way that everybody can do their own thing without interruptions provided they do all these things within the rules of the forum.
That amount may be small to you but it's not small to others.
As you said, everyone has his own goal for remaining active on the forum, and I don't think someone can actually be active on this forum and not learn anything. Be it Bitcoin, altcoins, economics, politics, I believe we all learn something however small it might seem.

The truth is that Bitcointalk is place that is beyond where money can be made, Bitcointalk forum is a place where good knowledge can be gained about bitcoin and bitcoin related. Bitcointalk will change the mindset and lead members to follow the best step when it comes to financial decisions. When it comes to learning bitcoin Bitcointalk is one of the best place expecially for newbies to get good foundation of bitcoin,  in investment aspects and the security aspect of keeping bitcoin safe.

That is true, and it is a bit sad to see that some people, specially newbies, post off-topic just to increase the number of posts/activity and grow fast. That's not the way to do it, from my point of view and many other colleagues in the forum.

Anyway, as I said some time ago in a similar thread, we should understand that different situations can justify different behaviors. Bitcointalk is not an office, and it is somehow insulting to flagrantly treat it just like a means to the end of making money, but the fact is that in many countries a user can earn much much more than what he is capable to earn in a 8 hours/day job. So it is understandable that many users simply focus on spamming, and don't value the educational aspect.
