Bitcoin Forum

I have never mean to raise this this topic so far but sometime I do asked myself why do we join here.
For me is to gain vast Knowledge concerning all that relates with bitcoin as well as knowing the concept of how to become very secure with our investment. I do find this platforms helpful as it focuses on information that gives a full interpretation of bitcoin utilizations.

I don't know your purpose of belonging here but you can present yours as well, Maybe we can also learn by sharing thoughts feelings.

A lot of people will tell you they joined here to gain knowledge and nothing more than that, but it's only a few people who are truly here for the knowledge part; a lot of us are here both for the knowledge and the earning.
 
If I am to be realistic enough, Me joining this forum from the beginning was for me to acquire so much knowledge about bitcoin and other crypto currencies, wallet security, and all of that, learn how to be useful in the community, and be contributing, but those things alone could not have made me as active as I am in the forum today.

But when I gain knowledge to some level where I notice I can also earn from the forum, why then do I have to be given attention to other places looking for green pasture when I can get it here? So going back to your question, I'm here to gain knowledge and experience and also make some cool earnings. It won't be complete if I don't add the earnings aspect, because that will be me lying to myself.

TBH, if you were to ask me the same question multiple times, my answer would remain the same Bitcoin, Bitcoin, Bitcoin. I've always had a keen interest in technology, leading me to acquire various technological skills such as UI/UX design and development. However, at a certain point in time, when Satoshi introduced blockchain technology and people started embracing this new phenomenon, I became curious. I felt the need to immerse myself in blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency that pioneered it, which is no other than Bitcoin.

Stating the reason why you’re here after so much time without being asked looks like merit fishing to me. Newbies have been reprimanded a lot for asking questions about how to earn and start bounties, so I think you saying you’re here to learn and acquire knowledge about bitcoin sounds like you’re only trying be politically correct and win favour from the community.

Bitcointalk has its advantages and there is no crypto forum or community that comes close to what’s being achieved here.

I registered in this forum to gain vast knowledge on bitcoin,unkwown to me that they are other benefits attached to the forum and not just learning bitcoin and cryptocurrency at large. I am still learning, and at the same time investing in bitcoin which wasn't part of my agenda when i joined the forum,but if one have the knowlegde of bitcoin without having the experience of owning bitcion,your knowledge isn't complete yet. Earning from the forum is something that i have also benefited from because it was when I registered and was consistent with the forum that i understood that one can earn from signature campaign,I must say it signature campaign has really helped me finacially.

What do you want to achieve with opening this topic, this is a generic topic and all the response that'll be posted here (answering your question) will be an attempt to ass lick meriters for merit because when the answer are those that sounds positive to the forum, people will be moved to merit the users. Apart from to gain knowledge on Bitcoin, interact with like-minded enthusiast and earning, what others respond are you expecting to get and when you do get those respond what do you intend to do with them. I believe I talk for other when I say we careless about the reason why others joined the forum but since we all have found ourselves here we have to work together in making to the forum conducive for productive discussion.


Is this thread of yours doing just that? I guess not and that's why this thread isn't that necessary. This is the beginners and help board, so create useful threads that'll be of help to those browsing through the board. If you find the platform helpful then you owe it to others to also make the platform to be helpful to them by contributing positively to the forum and the best way to do that is to always drop quality threads, replies etc.

I don't know what you intend learning by knowing the reason why users join Bitcointalk. Obviously this is a discussion forum for Bitcoin and other whatnots, and if you have any interest whatsoever in Bitcoin you would find your way to register here. Quite a lot of people register just to ask questions and seek solution to some Bitcoin related problems that they have, and after that they don't log in again.

Having said that, signature campaigns help to maintain the forum's traffic and keep so many of the users active, thus they earn from their contributions to discussions that take place on the forum, and it is a win-win.

The reason I'm here may not bring any knowledge to you, OP, because it may not matter to a newbie if I'm here to learn bitcoin and international cultures of forum members and how bitcoin is expanding in their country. Whether it's banned or legalized in their country. Learning is the aim of the forum, that is why what you wish to learn in this thread isn't relevant to your stay here. The answers will always revolve around learning. So, the right method to learn here is to read and share what you've read in the forum. It'll help enlarge your horizon on that specific subject, as many views will be contributed, which boost the understanding of any topic about bitcoin. Therefore, creating value to you and other readers in the forum. Some ranked members will also need to refresh their memories on that topic or subject. In a nutshell, knowledgeable threads will fetch you important resources to further read or study bitcoin.

Everyone has a reason for joining here, and understanding why they joined should not influence your perspective on why you are here. It is something private, perhaps he should only be known to them and not shared.


You have a compelling reason to be here. I hope you strive to accomplish that in as little time as possible so that you can explore other aspects of the forum.


Is this truly important? Most people will give you similar replies, and the majority will be the same as yours. So just concentrate harder on reaching the goals that led you to the forum.

While a lot of us here are motivated to join the forum in seek of profits, but isn't it more appealing and meaningful if we seek knowledge and skills at first so we will be able to maximize our profits later on.

Personally, my focus here is to become an inclined Bitcoin investor and stabilize my finances through gaining adequate knowledge that will be a great help so I can achieve my goal successfully.

My initial goal was of course because there were lots of airdrops and bounties here and many were successful in providing large income. But that happened several years ago and is certainly different from today. As time went by I began to understand what my purpose was in this forum, continuing to develop my skills in everything related to crypto and forums, becoming a manager, translator and investor in several projects. I have done a lot while on the forum which of course provides more value for myself, not just hunting for airdrops and bounties

Your aim here is to learn about bitcoin, that is exciting to hear from you, but know that everyone you see hear have their own reason of been here. The only things, I think some of people are here is because of bitcoin and earning to survive. Please focus on what brought you to the forum.

For sure because this is a forum about cryptocurrency and Bitcoin the main purpose of most of the members here or even me is to gain knowledge about cryptocurrency, to be honest, I just joined here because I just need some help so I really just ask some question about my problem on my cryptocurrency investment and that is why I see this forum on how useful it is. Because I could easily ask it if there is something that I didn't know I mean yes you could just do research about it but there are some that you can't really find on research accurately something like instructions or you are just new to a Bitcoin wallet and then you want some suggestion or can you do something like this on your Bitcoin or something like that on your wallet, members here are going to suggest you because they already have a lot of experience about that. That is just when I find this forum really useful. At the same time, one of the reasons I was really motivated to post on my account was because there are some bounties or signature campaigns available that you could probably earn a decent amount of money, for sure you are kinda familiar with bounties, and not every time you could be lucky and earn on that project since there are a lot of them that is just a big scam. learning and earning at the same time was just great, I mean you dont really need anything here in the forum you dont need to post you could just post if you need some help or you could help them as well if you experience there questions you want to put some suggestions.

Asking about Bitcoin is a must if you are new here, but with time you'll find this forum offers more than Bitcoin discussion. You can discuss anything that interests you, gain knowledge, get updated with news, gain friends, and share interesting things... And then you'll forget about your purpose or whatever, and just log in because you like it. It'll become a habit and it's fun! So newbies should look for the bigger picture... don't just think about merit, signature, bounty, or whatever aside from discussion. Nowadays it's difficult to engage in a meaningful discussion outside your IRL circle. Enjoy this forum while it lasts!

Everyone want's learn about bitcoin and other crypto currency, and one thing that might everyone denies and won't admit, earn money at the same time, while doing this things.

I feel your purpose to be here is to Create topics like this one. It's useless.

It's great if you are here to learn knowledge about Bitcoin and you will surely be supported by many Bitcoin gurus here. However creating topics like this one is unnecessary, because frankly say, it's useless.

You are here to learn, let's get started with Beginners & Help Encyclopedia (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5364418.0)

Mostly sign campaigns and there are some sections which I like commenting on and read people's experiences, also you find solutions to your crypto problems here.

Edit: I like playing contests here too and earning something while doing so, IPL contest was blast!

This is the same as when you join a community with a hobby that you like. like a car modification community. so you will join the community and take part in community activities.
You like Bitcoin, and even before you get to know the forum, you trade Bitcoin from your friends and communities on social media. then join the forum to discuss anything related to Bitcoin and other Crypto.
do you like trading? The forum has a place to discuss it. do you like mining? Forums also have a place for that. There are also many crypto communities on social media. but I'm sure quite a lot of them also join this forum.

Yes forum befome a mainstream platform for knowledge and hub for ideas regarding bitcoin. But when it comes to investment side, there are other that you could use. Here most discussion aims to expand how bitcoin works. Yes there are some ideas on investment but its just an added value to what you could gain here.

Basically, this place is a wonderful place to learn about crypto currency and all the rest, and I believe there are many people here who are also learning from bitcointalk.org. There are also many members who don't know their purpose on Bitcointalk. That's why, when you see them, those who are not here to learn, you will know that this person is not serious about learning. With their lies and their inactive status, you will know their purpose here.

Yes, you are right, newcomers do ask about Bitcoin because they don't know what Bitcoin is all about. Any users who come to Bitcoin talk and ask for forum rules, I believe that the user is the type that wants to learn about Bitcoin. :)
On this forum there are a lot of people and interesting discussions that can keep you busy also. There was a day when I forgot to make my house choice because I was busy discussing a particular thread, so Bitcointalk is an interesting forum and I believe that everyone has a purpose here.

You are right, Everyone is correct in what they say, but no one has speak the truth. Many forum members are not there to learn more about cryptocurrency; rather, they are there to gain reputation and participate in worthwhile campaigns in order to make money. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as most of us who respond to this comment are forum members, and the majority of things that make some people money are campaigns. This is what I'm saying because no one has discussed the campaign in the forum, which is what attracts newcomers here in the first place.

As a newbie, you must understand about cryptocurrency so that you will have the confidence to write a good post that will help earn merits. I have seen numerous posts in the forum where a newbie complained about how to earn merit and that he had no idea about cryptocurrency. Earning money in forums by taking part in campaigns is not a bad idea, but many people don't understand the process of it.

Already before I joined the forum, I had little knowledge about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, and I'm a trader too, but sincerely speaking what triggered me the most was seeing my friend who was a dumb when it comes to things that is related to cryptocurrency has more information more than I do and even before I got to know it, and so I become much interested to join being a trader and a Bitcoin enthusiast, believing that from the way in which my friend suddenly got transformed and got loaded with info about Bitcoin, that I too will have same opportunity to gain more information, plus the fact he told me I will also have the opportunity to earn if I have positive contribution in the community.

And today I have seen a big difference compared to the knowledge I have today about Bitcoin than then.

In the beginning, before I tell you why I joined Bitcointalk, let me tell you how I came to know about it.
I had a friend who used to do bounties, so my purpose was to earn money by that. However, after I opened an account here, I saw that there are many more things to learn and gain skills apart from that sector. Then started the journey of exploring from one board to another board like this slowly coming till now. To say that in the beginning my aim was to earn, now the aim has become mainly to acquire knowledge, gain skills and earn some money along with it. And with the knowledge that I will get from here, I can easily make arrangements for earning for myself in any way now. However, for those who are new, I would say that instead of earning money, gain skills, gain more knowledge, then you will see money coming to you by running

I will never deny the fact that my first purpose to join the forum is to gain profits in the later part. However, as I go on exploring the forum and discover things about crypto most particularly with bitcoin, I realized that there’s more into bitcoin than its profits and financial security. That bitcoin is what we need more than fiat in order to gain freedom from those centralized financial institutions and to escape from the shadows of the government. And that bitcoin is the future that will definitely become a life changer, if not now, then most probably in the future.

I slightly disagree with you two. I went through the history of the OP's posts, and there is nothing in them that could be called a passion for merit. We became very suspicious ;D. If I answer for the OP, as I saw it, then he appeared here according to the stories of his friends, as they say: "Everyone went, and I went." He rarely appears on the forum, and most of the time he writes in his local thread. Compare those who come here with one goal: earning money, and how persistently they print empty posts in order to increase activity and merit. This is not the case.
As for me, I won’t lie, and I’ve said this a hundred times: I came here to participate in the bounty. But since my work was on the Internet, and I was regularly online, I stopped wasting time on bounty reports when I realized that almost all of them were scams and began actively reading and studying.
The forum magically attracted me, and to this day, mornings and nights end with reading this forum.

There's a lot of enjoyable discussion on everything you want to know about crypto so most for sure this is the main purpose of majority especially if they are active on crypto investments and other related with cryptocurrency. Some may find their purpose is to earn from signature campaign then I can say that this is just a chunk since there's a big fish out there if you are just eager to learn more about it then know more skill so that you have a lot to offer to your potential clients.

It feel good to belong to the community with the same interest.  This somehow meet the basic need of people which is the need to belong.  At first my purpose of joining the forum is to gain information about cryptocurrency since I got interested when I read about them on some of the article in the internet.  At first I was about to get some information and I did not know that this forum have lots of member that is very active in Bitcoin Discussion and many dedicated knowledgeable people that help both in technical and economic fundamental of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.  I was just reading post at first then later on I interact and reply in threads that I somehow have some glimpse of knowledge then the rest is history.

Everyone registers in this forum to learn about Bitcoin and other topics as well as earn some money through this forum. This forum has a significant number of members who are earning money by joining bounties or other promotional campaigns and there are some other important members in the forum who are earning money by doing signature campaign campaigns. Not only through bounty campaign or signature campaign people are making money but also through web designing or web developing, coding, investing and trading but people are making money from this forum. Apart from making money, all economic or daily issues are discussed in this forum due to which many important information is known from this forum. BitcoinTalk forum is one of the best discoveries in my life.

I was looking for a place where they talk about cryptocurrency without asking to invest in it through them. I knew about cryptocurrency, but I did not know enough about it. Before I became a regular member here, there were some other websites I came across but at the end their aim was to get you to invest in them. Since I have been in this forum, there has never been a place where forum members were asked to invest in bitcoins through the forum. You are advised to invest by other members but do it securely. For new members, my reason is enough reason to want to remain and belong to this forum.

Truth be told, I'm here in this forum to earn and gain knowledge about Bitcoin from this forum, and I had little about Bitcoin before coming to this forum but gradually my knowledge of Bitcoin is greatly increasing. Even though you are not here for the knowledgeable aspect of Bitcoin, this forum must bend you to study and gain more knowledge about the main purpose of Bitcoin and to be able to communicate it effectively here. Before reaching the rank of earning in this forum you must have gained great knowledge about Bitcoin that will help you rank up your rank here. There is no way you will come to this forum and your knowledge about Bitcoin will remain the same.

I think people who participate here get good information and help from this platform. Most of us are among those people who have a lot of free time and we join this platform to make our free time valuable. We share our information and knowledge with others, and also get good information and experience from others.

I joined this platform on my friend's suggestion which proved to be very beneficial for me because often we also participate in bounty which is required by this platform where we expect good profit. It's a friendly environment where we often learn new things and learn about things we don't know. The truth is that I didn't know much about crypto currency but this platform has increased my knowledge a lot. However, I think you can get good experience and good profit from here.

Many people have different agendas while they are here and the purpose of A and B will not be same, some people are here to market their projects whereas some people is also here because of learning and understanding of cryptocurrency and it's subsections, the main objective of creating this forum is to share idea's of cryptocurrency together especially bitcoin, so many people who is in hero and legendary ranks today comprehend what's bitcoin through this forum, that is while I said different people have different agendas to be here and that is how our achievements in forum is differs according our objectives of been in the forum.

If you had made this query post within your first five posts in the forum i could have been convinced that this post was intentionally  created for the sole purpose of a newbie wanting to learning but am thinking the opposite,

We share a common purpose being a member of this forum, no matter the angle you may want to direct your purpose of being here to it still revolve around gaining knowledge or adding to your knowledge about bitcoin and cryptocurrency and how to perfect it that it can be of profitable value to you.  So either way I state my purpose or not, you  now know that the purpose is mutual.

Your motive is one of the things that makes newbies to be crumble and also commit crime of forum, many people whose intention is to ensure that they earn from the forum without having the mindset of learning and comprehending the basics things concerning bitcoin, if you have earning as main agenda you will be looking for a way to make a quality post and that will leads you to commit a plagiarism, to a certain point.

When we find ourselves in a place like this and all some persons can contemplate on is how they can only gain from the forum without a commensurable desire on how they can also immensely dedicate their time contributing to the forum's growth, it doesn't take much longer before they will fall out of their nest.

Those that put earning ahead of learning and forum growth experiences difficulties in making progress in the forum (it's a fact). Hence the secret and  beauty of bitcointalk forum compared to other forums I have been is that if you take the forum genuinely serious the forum in turn takes you serious too and that means growth on all sides in your path.

I am not going to tell something new here like others; it is absolutely true that initially, every member keeps coming here on this forum to gain some knowledge, which they need, but at the end of the day, they do not have much interest in acquiring knowledge about Bitcoin, Blockchain, etc. Despite the main reason being money, this is a fact: most members focus on getting merits for participating in worthwhile campaigns in order to collect more payments. There is no hesitation in this, as human nature demands that every servant wants to earn money, and the human physical constitution dictates that he does not do anything in vain unless there is some benefit in it. I mean that here in this thread, it is also the same as my perspective that at first guys came here to get some knowledge, but at last, they changed their minds and took an interest in money and didn't emphasize getting more knowledge about the crypto space.

There's need to first identify the reason why this forum was created before we can now jump to why we are also here, well there's no doubt some were referred here by a friend, some through a search about bitcoin while some coincidentally join here, another thing is that some after joining they leave immediately they feels their reason for joining is meant, while some stay and remain because they think it's a community they can find pleasure in staying with, from there they begin to learn about the forum first then before they proceed to learning about bitcoin at large.

You answered what is on the mind of most of us. They are here in this forum in order to learn and share ideas and thoughts. What I like best is that everyone here is interested in the same field that I am passionate about and involved in, which is the field of cryptocurrencies. There are many valuable discussions and topics here about Bitcoin, altcoins, trading, and discussions in languages other than English, the latest events & news, and projects in the market. Various services can be purchased or offered. You can participate in many bounty campaigns and contests. And much more.  This forum is an excellent gathering for education, gaining experience, and learning a lot about Bitcoin and crypto in general and as a source of income for your contribution to it and knowledge of scam projects and renewable scammers' methods, and this is one of the reasons for my belonging and presence in it.

As basic as your question is, I can say there are simply just two reasons people troop to this forum – learning and earning. I don't know which supercedes the other for you (or anyone else). To state it clearly, a great number of people come here to earn but won't admit it publicly. Those who stumbled on this forum by chance (like I did) became glued to it because of the perks it offers. I've yet to see a forum that allows you learn and earn. Again, I must confess, there's so much one can learn here for free. Those two points will keep attracting more people here and the influx gets even higher during the noise of bull rally.

Do you wear glasses? I'm just thinking of the screen time and its effect on the eyes.

We all have different reasons why we join the forum or why we are here. Some are here to learn more about bitcoin and cryptocurrency related information while others are here to join bounty campaign and I guess someone are just here to help those who are having a hard time understanding something they are learning and maybe there's also someone who wants to join the discussions here in the forum to be updated.

Some are here for their business like a wallet software, Bitcoin Core, Electrum, wallet recovery to keep the biggest Bitcoin community updates and support. Like ThomasV, a founder of Electrum wallet, still actively answered community questions.

Some are here to provide their services like web design, graphic design and more. Many reasons to be in this legendary forum for Bitcoin users and when we are here, we are exposed to legendary members who have deep knowledge about Bitcoin, security ...

Bitcointalk is a very large Forum and it can give you all you want (depending on what you have in mind before joining) like some come here to aquire the knowledge of Bitcoin or trading and even contribute and share their knowledge on what they know about cryptocurrency.
But one thing is for sure, we're all here to learn and to me I can't point out the purpose of belonging here because that's not it, but all I can say is that Bitcointalk have taught me so much that I can't really start spitting it out at the moment...
I really appreciate Bitcointalk for uplifting so many people in different ways.

All information related to Bitcoin is always shared here every day, you can get accurate investments here without having to worry about the validity of the information. Someone who wants to develop their knowledge about Bitcoin will take advantage of all this information. You can also become a mentor for other members by utilizing important information that you find on other platforms and then sharing it here.

Apart from wanting to add insight into Bitcoin, the Forum also provides services to earn some money. Taking advantage of what the forum provides has helped me make money on the side, of course no one will miss the opportunity to learn Bitcoin while earning money. You can also be like other seniors if you really want to learn and contribute to the forum, only in the Bitcointalk forum you can increase your knowledge about Bitcoin and earn some money from using the signature space.

You need to know that of every member who decides to join this forum, I am sure the majority have the same intention. Namely learning about bitcoin and learning about cryptocurrency, by discussing with fellow members on this BTT forum. Basically, all members, including me, definitely have thoughts or intentions like that. Because this is definitely the fundamental thought of every member when joining here.

However, each member sometimes has different reasons before intending to join this BTT forum. Such as experiencing losses due to being deceived by one of the crypto projects, or being recommended by someone. So basically every member who joins this forum is looking for information and solutions to problems related to trading or investing in bitcoin/crypto.

And this BTT forum is used as a means to dig up information for all investors or people who want to invest in cryptocurrencies. So in conclusion, your intentions, the intentions of the majority of members in this forum, and my personal intentions have the same intentions when deciding to join this BTT forum.

When I first knew about the forum I decided to create an account because I immediately understood that if I wanted to learn about Bitcoin (and altcoins) I would've to be consistent and not just learn in a passive way. That was my reason to register in Bitcointalk.

In a few weeks/months, however, I heard about bounty campaigns and, although most of them in the alternate cryptocurrencies section paid almost nothing, the few ones which were successful paid well, so the initial reason to belong here (to learn) was completed by that more practical perspective I didn't expect.

 Different intents and purposes. Personally- and I'd keep saying it- I joined the forum to satisfy my curiosity. Someone told me about how you'd just get to share ideas and then boom! You get paid! I mean, where's that done?!  But I've discovered and learned a lot from being here and to be honest it beat the expectations I had of social platforms. It's an amazing thing to meet a community of brilliant minds where knowledge is not just restricted to Bitcoin alone but other topics.

My major reason of joining this forum is to gain more insight on Bitcoin and see my experience on what I believe I can do and get ideas and make journals if at all

It's quite obvious that every body came here to learn but a fraction of some people actually registered with the forum just for other activities like complaints they have with their  deposit and withdrawals concerning most gambling site that is advertised here because I have seen alot of newbie account solely for that purpose and other are registering just for scam purposes and others to sell their services.

We've actually got different perspectives to how we see things and, I think that's the reasons why we are different people with different sense of acumen, line of actions and motives...
I never knew there are ways to earn cash in here - so I can bodly say it's an added advantage to the time and effort, to learn and to teach others too. The forum has helped develop my technical knowledge about Bitcoin - I'm currently planning to pick up a course on programming; C++? Python?? JavaScript? Dunno yet.

Sandra 🧑‍🦰

First of all, because money and Bitcointalk has become my source of income for a couple of years now, maybe some people will say is it enough? or is it possible etc.
Secondly, I have gained more knowledge It has been a couple of weeks I have learned something new from the Technical Board about bumping fees, bitcoin mempool, segwit address and etc.
Third gaining more friends that have the same common thoughts 8)

Lastly, sometimes I love to watch people share comments or debate with each other  ;D and somehow bitcointalk like Twitter has some recent news about crypto world

First let me tell you about my friend who gave me the search for this forum. My friend is helping you a lot when I didn't understand anything. Now if I need to know or learn something I can learn from the senior brothers of this forum. I am learning a lot after coming to the forum and want to learn more. This is the main purpose of my presence in this forum. I want to say one thing, all those who are new to this forum should aim to gain knowledge.

People join this forum for various reasons, ranging from looking for additional income or to learn and master crypto. My goal in joining this forum is also because of both.

But what is certain is that this forum is very complex from all aspects of crypto. I just realized a few months after being on this forum with so much knowledge. When you join this forum, you will find various sub-forums with complete information and tutorials. The categories contained in it, starting from mining, technical support, etc. Indeed, the function of crypto forums is the same as forums in general. By joining, you can ask questions and discuss with other members. But this forum is the best for learning crypto because it is complete.

As far as I know, after being here I just found out that the BitcoinTalk forum is one of the bitcoin forums used by many world-class investors and traders.

My statistics may be wrong but at least 70% of the users who signed up on this forum are here to talk about bitcoin and to earn bitcoin from sharing their opinions about bitcoin. This is nothing to be shamed of. It is only fair that we should get paid doing the thing that we loving doing. Isn't it?

The remaining 30% who are not here to earn directly from the forum are here to promote their crypto project and earn indirectly too from it. So whether they create the latest soft wallet to store your bitcoins, or they are part of the bitcoin core developer team, creating designs, logos, etc whatever it is, we are all here to earn bitcoin either directly or indirectly doing the thing that we love.

Everyone is here for one of two reasons; some are here to learn about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, as you mentioned, while others are here to earn money, which is why they did not choose to learn about Bitcoin. However, based on my observations, many of the people visiting forums these days may be there to earn money as they are competing for merits, so I don't think anyone who is here to learn about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies will be among those that will be hurting for the merits up and down. I notice this in newbies who consistently claim to be new to the game, but within a few day of time, they will begin posting threads in the forums to offer advice to other members or fellow newbies on topics they do not understand much about or putting together stories to attract attention for the purpose of Merits.

The truth is that it is uncommon to find members of the forum who openly assert that they are there to make money; instead, most of us, especially those of us who have recently joined, consistently state that we are there to learn about Bitcoin.

I first came here to learn about bitcoin. In 2014 this was one of very few places where you could do it and I don't really like Reddit. I prefer this type of a forum, from the one with collapsing answers that create threads within threads. I stayed for the entertainment. I like the community here and you can even make a few bucks from posting.
What can I say, the forum has come a long way from where it used to be with so many new people. It also had its portion of drama, small arguments, bigger scams, people farming and trading accounts, all part of its glorious history. 8)

Looking at my account history from the beginning of my posting, you will realize that my initial purpose to this forum was defined from the very beginning which was to make money through bounty campaigns, no matter how small the payments might have appeared to be, those where how I was introduced to this place, as a place to make and earn a living by doing few that’s so start from that point in time, I came here with the full goal of making a living, but that ended half way, until I began to gain little knowledge when I looked through the forum above the bounty section.

Right now I can say I have added an extra purpose to my money making purpose which is now reading and achieving few knowledge but the earning part is still not excluded, so my main purpose of being here is to earn, followed by learning, i was not given the mindset like other users to come and learn here and later discover how to earn, my own case was different from the beginning.

First, is to gain concrete knowledge about bitcoin and the crypto market. Being able to learn its essence not only as a profitable investment but also in the financial industry as a payment system. Second, to acquire some sustainable profits out from my knowledge and skills that were developed inside the forum. With experience and consistent learning in the forum, I believe I’ll be able to achieve both of these.

That's true, i like the fact that this forum has many opportunities it provides for it user's when they come to stay, you can contribute to the forum growth in many ways base on the level of how you understand bitcoin without having the intention of earning through a signatory campaign, you can aslo participate in one to make you earn from it which i so much recommend newbies thay want to invest but don't have the money to do so to work and earn bitcoin from here through their participation in signature campaign.


Many of us still fall indirectly under this category because we still make posts and contribute well even when we are not participating in any signature campaign.

I visit a lot of English and local sub forums, there is a lot of knowledge that is really new outside the forum or even non-existent, maybe we can find some spam, but that doesn't mean anything more, we can skip, but new knowledge about blockchain, crypto , alt coins, or even bounties, really spoil the brain.

Other members i came here because of the knowledge they have, the information given and shared by other members gives me an enlighten about the things I need in the crypto world and of course during my journey I learned a lot of things that can be shared too at the same time so I giving back the same process like other members give it's just give and take here and sooner or later those contents you've contribute can be rewarded with the merit can be use to participate into different activities here in the community like signature campaigns.

I was this young and naive dude that was looking for how to make money online and along the way I got scammed by a ponzi scheme. After that ugly experience I distanced myself from cryptocurrency investment but after a while I decided to give it a trial. I didn't want to make same mistake the second time, so I started searching where to learn about cryptocurrency and that's how I came across the forum and I've never regretted it. I think one thing that makes the forum special is the incentives as well as the presence of crypto veterans that are always willing to assist forum members.
