Bitcoin Forum

I have considered if this is the right board to post this but I almost had it on the Meta section. Pardon me if I am wrong here.
If I must proceed, I just needed to get some users here especially the beginners of this bitcointalk forum members understand the socio-economy benefits of being here.
While some newbies has requested to be guided on how to make money as a priority of being in the forum, some higher rank users has also complained about the lack of campaigns in the forum which is being boring.
I don't know the aim of other persons for being here in the first place but to me, I am here to explore on my bitcoin journey basically on how I can learn about purchasing and accumulating of bitcoins as my asset on the ways of making profits and how I can also keep my funds safe from scammers.
Along the lines I am also opportuned to acquiring some potential knowledges which is helping me to explore off the crypto space since it is adviced not to rely our incomes in just one basket in that case we should have alternative source of income to enable our bitcoin assets stay enough time for the benefits of making profits.
This forum has also benefited me on building a conducive social lifestyles which I am exploring to attain great prospects.
I am just on the saying that aside joining the forums payable projects such as campaigns and the airdrops and all that, we can still explore and achieve greatly if we can actually put to practice the exercises of discussions in the forum.

Sorry all, I would like to ask, what is your priority/aim of being in the bitcointalk forum in the first place?

To share some knowledge I’ve gained here and to keep learning along the way. Plus, to stay loyal to the best crypto forum that has helped improve my life financially. I’ve been around for years, and I owe a lot of my small success to this community. So, I’m just showing my appreciation by staying active, answering questions like this to inspire the newbies.

Two main priorities/aims of being here, but you can not verify that they are telling truth of their reasons.

Join the forum for learning.
Join the forum for earning.

It's beginning and any member can start with main priority of learning, but later can earning too; and others can join for earning first but later can start to learn. Between them, you can see members who join here for contributions with education websites, SMF patches like PowerGlove but no barrier that they can not join signature campaigns and earn bitcoin.

My main priority is to be able to get exclusive information about Bitcoin, I still believe that we can get things that are not available on external platforms here. That was my initial goal, but as I joined the forum, it turned out that there were many other things I could get, such as getting new people to invite to get opportunities together, share information and so on.

I joined this forum because it is a helpful forum in learning and earning. What could be better than learning, become good, help others in learning and also be earning in the process. That is how this forum has been for anyone that is a very good poster.

My aim and the priority to be in this forum is to gain much knowledge about the cryptocurrency aspect on how dose it work, and also how a lot of people benefits from it; and I also want to lean about the Bitcoin investment I have little knowledge about it, but they say that leaning is a continuing sentence so that’s why I introduced my self here to acquire more-knowledge about the bitcoins investment. So that I can become an expert on Bitcoin investment, because people said that even if you know something and you didn’t share the knowledge with others for you to gain more ideas and experience not everything will go as well.

I joined this forum because I wanted to be part of the local communities of bitcoin and crypto enthusiast and I can say that it has been very enriching. I also joined this forum to learn and increase my knoweldge about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and I can say that, that is being achieved. If I had taken a pretest before I joined the forum on bitcoin and now have to take a posted test after some years with the same questions, I would say that my score would be far better. I have made new friends and gotten the benefit of the bitcoin as well. For that I am thankful for the forum.

Good to know that we are here to learn and increases our tense of knowledge in the perspectives of explorations, still keep learning and returning back to the forum by also helping others to acquire theirs while earning opportunities from the forum maybe appreciations of our quality contributions

For some people, this forum is a knowledge-share hub.

For some others, this forum is a place to communicate with others.

Personally, I feel smarter, having "met" a lot of people in here. The level of knowledge shared in the forum is incredible.

For me, this place is a digital home. Of course, nothing digital is nearly as important as the real-life stuff, but you get my point!

This is where I learn a lot about cryptocurrency and I really enjoyed joining discussions with people around the world and what I joined are mostly what I know and if there's something complicated is I leave it to the pros. This place also spread news about bitcoin and other which is helpful for someone to become updated about crypto. You are right that some forum members are here because they can earn money from campaigns although that's not the reason for everyone why they are here.

Exactly. More than knowledge acquisition, I am also here to create good earnings from this forum just like what majority of these members are doing. However, in order for that to happen, one must exert time and effort first to read and study the forum until sufficient learnings will be acquired. And with patience and perseverance to learn all throughout those years, earning a good amount will always be possible.

My aim is to be successful and wealthy, and this forum can greatly help me achieve that. This is something that I recognise from when I was introduced here. Apart from the opportunity that I have had with signature campaigns, the information that we share here everyday and the conversations we have are wealth in itself. I always bless the day that I joined this forum from the referral, because my life has really changed, I know more about crypto than I ever imagined that I will know, thanks to all the users in the forum who share valuable information and posts.

You are completely honest with yourself, not just bragging about knowledge or anything.
I would also emphasize that many have benefited materially from this forum and also benefited on crypto knowledge even more than that.
The Bitcointalk forum is a gateway to the wider crypto world, because I myself started all my crypto life from this forum.

During more than 8 years in this forum I have learned a lot about Bitcoin, crypto, Blockchain and much other knowledge.
It was the beginning for me to get to know the Bounty, Signature and Airdrop campaigns as well as various kinds of Giveaways and contests etc.

So it's not just about what the goals and priorities are in this forum, but more about broader knowledge, and getting paid for the campaign is a bonus.

Look at how people who get paid from signature campaigns, they struggle to grow their accounts, build good discussions and be more active in all kinds of discussions.
Beginners can also do it, depending on how strong they are fighting and staying consistent.

My priority/goal on the BitcoinTalk forum is to gain a lot of experience with Cryptocurrencies from here. The main points of my learning and interest from this forum at the initial stage were;

1. Gaining detailed knowledge about Bitcoin.
2. How to become a successful investor/Trader.
3. How to analyze the market and more.
4. Which coins are viable for long-term investment?

I have already learned a lot about cryptocurrency in this forum and was able to gain experience as well. The important cryptocurrency related guidance we get in this forum may not be Google or YouTube which is also organized in this forum, which can help us increase our knowledge in the early stages. Our sole aim of joining this forum is to gain knowledge and earn from the forum.

My priority/aim for being on this forum is to gain detailed knowledge about Bitcoin. It is also in my aim to learn more about Bitcoin and how to make money from this forum and change my situation. Also I want to gradually become a big ranking member in this forum and help the small members of this forum when I become a complete expert. As many senior members in this forum are already doing I would like to do the same.

There was a need for me to widden my knowledge about Bitcoin and crypto , Therefore joining this community became necessary at the time, and I must admit, that this community has tranformed my life in terms of the knowledge, awareness and the right information regarding the the crypto space,  I have seen some people here who also testify.

Who are the newbies and who are the high ranks members complaining that there is no campaign, all these are just by the way opportunities from being here, how much more would everyone love to see the forum advance even without signature pay, the intention for the creation of this forum was to engage bitcoin users on discussions about the network with each other's all over the world.


By default, i expect that everyone's aim for coming here was because of their interest in bitcoin, then all other things are secondary.

in all sincerity my aim of being here was and is still to earn but being on the forum has now got me engrossed and i can tell you for a truth that i have now learnt a lot about crypto and bitcoin than before i came to this forum.i keep going around different threads and i learn a lot from very learned individuals .most of the information gotten on this forum are informations and knowledge that people pay a lot of money to acquire and for that i will always be grateful.
i also want to appreciate the old members and newbies alike who have always taken the time to educate the newbies like myself who are still trying to find their feet and also share their vast knowledge and experience with us.you all are highly appreciated.

At first, the aim was about learning and knowledge to gain. But as time goes by due to the steady learning and knowledge gained, some other aim kicks in, which is earning.

As of now, I can't think of putting my learning process on hold in the forum, stopping impacting myself with the knowledge of crypto, and even thought of stopping earning from this wonderful forum that has changed my financial status and ways of thinking when it comes to investing in the future.

However, a big thanks to the forum, which I now see as my school of thoughts when it comes to crypto knowledge and learning, not forgetting about its investment

The main purpose of joining this forum is to exchange knowledge. If you observe a little you will realize that those whose main objective is to make money from forums are only doing bounties. But those whose aim is to exchange knowledge, they are on all these platforms and are exchanging knowledge. At some point when you get promoted and are able to get an alternative source of income, why not take it?

If there is some money to be made besides sharing knowledge, I will definitely take money making as a goal. Because earning money does not mean that knowledge cannot be exchanged. Instead, you can focus more on sharing knowledge through earning money. But there are some members who only exchange knowledge. But for me, knowledge exchange and money making are both goals.

I first entered here because my basic is a trader and here there is a lot of knowledge related to that problem, so I want to become an expert trader by foruming here. Because I got a lot of knowledge from this forum. But the longer this forum takes me to learn about Bitcoin and I like it. I can share what I know and ask what I don't understand. So I find this forum very useful because of better validation from users and real evidence. In addition, I currently have a trust bonus on a campaign.

Many people entered this forum with the intention of making money, but most of them later understood that learning is how they will obtain what they desire here because of the way the forum set up its ranking system and merit system.
I'm really lucky to be a part of this forum, because I was illiterate in the crypto world back then, but I can now confidently say that I'm not in the dark anymore because I'm learning more about it every day now.
My top priority here is to concentrate more on the technical aspects of Bitcoin, because if I enter the technical board, I'm always impressed by how members do some arithmetic about bitcoin there, and it has always been my wish to be a part of them, which I believe I'll achieve it one day.

My aim for joining this forum doesn't go past trying to keep abreast with latest trends, information and news on Bitcoin and the crypto currency world, so that I can be best equipped to invest in cryptocurrency and use it as a currency for my own advantage of which includes wealth creation and duplication.

As someone who has zero knowledge on cryptocurrency and Bitcoin investment, finding out about the forum it became an opportunity for me to learn everything I ever wanted to know about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency, knowing how to trade was what triggered me to join the platform but coming here I realized that there is a whole lot more i can learn, unlearn and relearn which I have been doing since the past two years of joining the forum.

I have increased my knowledge of trading, Bitcoin investment and some general information about life, how to communicate with different types of people and how not to take things too personal. The forum has made me to realize once again that knowledge is power.

Mine is to learn about bitcoin and how it could be well applied to my personal financial lifestyle, i need privacy and also want to be in charge of my finances and the only best way of achieving this is by adopting for the use of bitcoin, i can only have more than enough information, updates and other related ideas and discussions about bitcoin here, in other words, i will say that my objective for joining is still in line with the general intention for the creation of this platform by Satoshi, to engage members on bitcoin discussions.

Nothing new I want to say here that has not been said before by another user. But I have benefited in so many ways from the forum. Ways I never thought would be possible. I have learned about different lifestyles and changed my perspective on economics, management systems, investment, and so many others. Funny enough I have engaged in lucky raffle draws and won some tickets. I got my first Ann thread design job from the forum. Aside from all these being said, my priority in the forum is to continue learning whatever I come across. The knowledge will still remain with me till I get old.

I read some of the replies and some of them are for sure lying. lol. I would be lying if I said that earning here isn't my top priority on Bitcointalk. I'm here to make/earn money and that's my really main goal right now. But of course I also want to learn, make friends, and enjoy myself, like joining contests and tournaments that you can only find or experience here on bitcointalk. You can find contest outside the forum but you don't know what is the legitimate, here you can easily spot if the contest if is fake or not.

I know, right? Like reading the comments, too, I got the same vibe - why are people lying? I'm not saying everybody is lying, but the majority is. People are saying to learn about Bitcoin, to expand my knowledge, share my knowledge blah, so nobody wants to earn from the forum. If somebody just woke up and told you, 'Oh, there's this Bitcoin forum; all you have to do is read about Bitcoin, learn, and contribute there and go,' would you be here? Won't you reply I'll browse about Bitcoin online.

Let's try to be honest with ourselves. Aside from the fact that we get to learn - I mean, that is part of the journey, a lot of people got on this platform, including myself, when we heard about the fact that it has potential benefits. But you have to build your account to be able to earn from campaigns that pop up. Hence, you join the forum with patience and consistency, building your account, learning, and contributing. Also, learning to shape your journey in the Bitcoin industry, and help you make better investment choices.

If you're into gambling, learn how to gamble responsibly. Learn new techniques or get to know new things in the Bitcoin and gambling world that you don't know. But your motivation, initially, is that you can earn with time as you go. You just need to build your account; you just need to be open-minded to learning and growing. I do appreciate your sincerity - straight up, to earn. But then you can't earn without learning and growing. So a lot of people just saying 'learn, grow, learn, grow' without putting the earn, I'm like, can we be truthful with ourselves? So yes, learn, grow, and earn.

Just as you know that this forum is a very large community,

And when we're talking about community we mean multitude, so this forum was made for we crypto/ bitcoin enthusiast to come together interact with one another . And same time  to acquire more knowledge on how bitcoin/cryptocurrency works .

Due to the fact that there alot of knowledgeable users here that's why is possible for us to acquire the knowledge we looking for and how to expand it also .


Hope you keep to this , because this is the right mindset. To focus on acquiring more knowledge inorder to secure a long and smooth investment in bitcoin.  Know one thing is for sure you're in the right place ,just make sure you always make use of the search icon.

I'd be lying if I said I don't like the fact that I can earn money from this forum for my participation and contributions that might or might not make a difference for the forum as a whole, I love it! But, I'd be honest that I didn't know this forum had opportunities like these when I first joined. I wasn't told by someone that there is a forum where you can earn money if you grow your account and I rushed into it, created an account, and started looking for ways to grow my account. In fact, when I joined (on the 22nd of January 2017) the forum, the merit system (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0) was still not introduced because the system was implemented on the 24th of January, 2018, almost after one year from when I joined the forum. So, it wasn't even that difficult ranking up at that time.

I came to know about the signature campaigns after surfing the forum for some time, and it was surprising for me because the concept was new, I had never seen a forum where users got paid for wearing a signature and making posts. It was intriguing, and I surely wanted to be a part of one, but that was surely not my primary purpose for joining the forum.

I stumbled upon this forum when conducting my research on Bitcoin, reading through the resources, and trying to find as much information and knowledge as possible. And to be totally honest, though some people might not believe it and say that I'm overacting and this can't be true, I love this forum way more than social media platforms. I know it isn't as appealing visually as them or isn't as interactive as them, but I still think it is more fun reading and making posts, interacting with other members, participating in conversations and campaigns, and everything else that we normally do in this forum than watching visuals on different social media platforms.

Priorities differ. Many may have joined this forum with the intention of making money, but along the line got captivated with the amount of valid information they are getting from here. The knowledge they are getting here may have helped them in the real world, we never can tell. So, if they say learning here is their top priority in bitcointalk, it doesn't change the fact that the money they are earning here from signature campaigns is an added benefit. Who doesn't like good things? ???

My top priority here is to learn and earn. If I don't learn, how will I at least be able to join conversations and make that money from bitcointalk. My life doesn't end here, I can boast of how mentally sound I have become since I joined this forum. There are indeed geniuses here, even if there are no campaigns, I'll still be around.

I would say some members here likely do prioritize earning money.  If someone has a paid ad in their signature, earning coins is obviously important to them - and thats fine! We all have different motivations for being part of this community.  As long as youre contributing good stuff and not just spamming, I dont think there is anything wrong with admitting you want to make a few bucks.  But even though money matters to some people, there are definitely plenty of members who care about other goals too not just padding their wallets. At the end of the day, we all get something different out of participating.

Everyone has his own priority of been here, but for me am hear purposely to have a lot of knowledge about bitcoin and also have some trend information who you can all find here. This will not help you to understand bitcoin in a simple way only but also make you to hBe the confidence of explaining some vital things about bitcoin to others that have less knowledge or knows nothing about bitcoin.

At first before i know about bitcoin talk, I always get my information in some interest browsers, which sometimes I    Find it difficult to understand. But when I was introduced to this great forum all my perceptive about bitcoin changes completely. That is what i fully know what bitcoin entails in detail without a lot of stress like before, the most encouraging part of it is that everything is always in detail. I will say it ones again bitcointalk is the real deal.

Well, getting information here in the forum is not very hard and you can ask questions here but that's not enough in my opinion. You have to learn doing your own research and ask questions here if you have something you find it hard to understand. Anyway, some people are here because of a different aim or priority like joining bounties and such. The main focus should be doing your own research and then ask questions here in the forum. It seems you have another aim just like everyone else.

Getting the right exposure and gaining the right knowledge about bitcoin and its technology from the forum created by the inventor of bitcoin itself. Learning from this forum about bitcoin has been a great one for me and it has helped a lot in my journey about what bitcoin is and the very big advantages it has over other financial institutions. Interacting back in this form with members of like minds is another intriguing thing in this forum. Giving back to the forum that built you into the crypto space is the best thing you can do for them. And I’m glad I’m able to with the little I’ve learnt from here through those that know more than me from the start.

Well let me just summarise it
I didn't actually join the forum for a noble course like some other members here I was duped recently of some of my cryptocurrencies so a friend of mine advised me to join the forum and told me that if I had asked questions on the forum before engaging in some of those activities I would have been able to avoid being scammed
So yhh basically I'm here to acquire more knowledge abd experience from people who have been in the game longer than I have and hopefully be of help to the forum in return

This is also my priority when I joined the forum years ago but along the way, I realized that you could learn, while earning and at the same time, contribute to the forum in different ways.

For me, there are 3 things why people are here in the forum.
1. They want to learn anything about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. We know that there are some platforms out there where you can learn about cryptocurrency like YouTube, but for me, this forum has helped me a lot when I'm a newbie. It helped me with the knowledge that will help me.
2. They want to contribute to the forum. There are experts here that are willing to help the forum in different ways. There are some that are helping other people in the technical section, there are some who are helping to make the forum even better, there are some who are reporting spam to make the forum cleaner, there are some who are just sharing their knowledge because... they want to contribute.
3. They want to earn. Let's not be hypocrite about this one and we know that we have an opportunity to earn in the forum. :) There's nothing bad if users are here just to earn and we can't blame them after all.

My aim? All 3 that I said. :D

Initially I knew about bitcoin before coming to Bitcointalk but not as knowledgeable as I am today. This Forum has helped to shape and reshape my knowledge. I wouldn't deny the fact that the BTC earning also brought me too.
The forum has help me improve in reading and writing skill , researching, educating newbies according to my capability and has also increased my knowledge about bitcoin. Bitcointalk is one of the best place to be. it is more of a home to me because each time I wake I will like to see new topics I can contribute. I can't even emagine staying a whole day without participating here.

My priority is to learn and educate the younger generation about the importance of investing in bitcoin and the importance of also securing it and to fulfill Satoshi Nakamoto's dream. Because accumulating bitcoin without taken prerequisite measures is more or less not investing atol, in regards to hackers. Because if surely a person invested without securing his seed phrase, all his Bitcoin HODLings may be hijacked by hackers. I believe in the slogan " not your key 🗝️ not your coin"

Fuck 'em, bros!

I am here to make money. I joined this forum and learned a lot about crypto. I was doing bounty at the beginning. I also planned to be a bounty campaign manager and ran a campaign. But later, I was not very active. I came to this forum to make some money and learn simultaneously. If I say I wanted to learn only and had no plan to make money, that would be a lie. Currently, I am writing posts actively because I am getting paid for it. I am sure I wouldn't be there and write 3-4 posts daily without money. I would probably spend more time reading instead of writing.

That's true.

I think we can divide in two things, one is when you don't know Bitcointalk and another one is when you already know Bitcointalk. I didn't know if this forum can be a source to make money, so my priority is to learn Bitcoin. But, after I know we can earn from participating in a campaign, now my priority is to make money.

Someone who're not here for money should able to post with the same frequency regardless they get paid or not.

Contribute, learn, earn. I learnt about bitcoin forum from a friend, I could remember creating a topic talking about my interest concerning bitcoin knowledge also learning the necessity education relating to bitcoin. Along side learning I got the chance to understand and add little contributions while reading. Questions like this seem common but it’s understandable because different reasons will be mentioned, it’s left for op to focus on learning since it’s the major interest. It’s so simple to say the forum has enlightened my knowledge differentiating a scam practice from genuine practice associated with cryptocurrency, sincerely speaking it takes more than a month to understand about bitcoin in general but with the help of continuous research and different ideas makes things look easier although bitcoin knowledge is so broad that’s why time is needed.

Yeah. I know some people like that. They write regularly on the forum and do not even wear signatures. Some of them even spend hours and hours on the forum writing long posts. I consider them as genuine and dedicated to the forum. If they say they are here purely to learn and teach others, I wouldn't have any problem believing their statement.

But if someone wearing a signature says their main priority is to learn about Bitcoin and help others, I am not going to believe them. If you check some forum profiles that do not wear signatures at this moment but used to participate in campaigns, you will see they do not even write ten posts a week.

The socio-economy benefits of Bitcointalk forum;
1.Learning about Bitcoin and the crypto ecosystem.
2.Earning from signature campaigns.
3.Updated crypto scam alert.
Personally,my aim for joining Bitcointalk forum is to enhance my knowledge on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency and also to explore the blockchain network.I joined this forum this year and before I got registered on Bitcointalk forum I had little knowledge about Bitcoin but it wasn't sufficient enough,I could remember I created a topic on my knowledge on Bitcoin. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5482223.msg63525958#msg63525958)This forum has help to broaden my knowledge on Bitcoin and if you're a newbie that knows nothing about Bitcoin this platform is the best platform to teach you the basic knowledge of Bitcoin.There are other platforms that can expose you to Bitcoin and crypto but not as best as Bitcointalk,those platforms make more emphasis on the price movement of Bitcoin and other tokens for instance Twitter, Bitcointalk is the best educative platform on Bitcoin.
I feel sorry for those newbies that have the aim of joining Bitcointalk forum and participate on signature campaigns overnight with a newbie rank lol :D,they shouldn't forget nothing comes so easy without consistency and hardwork.Even Bitcoin isn't a get quick rich scheme in terms of investing long term is more profitable while in trading the fundamental knowledge is required to be an expert in trading,if all these are required how much more a forum where Bitcoin is discussed.

The main purpose of joining this forum is to increase knowledge about Bitcoin in general, but the forum not only provides valid information about Bitcoin but there are many other bonuses that can be obtained depending on the skills and knowledge possessed. In addition to helping in the process of learning about Bitcoin, I can also earn money here through signature campaigns and most members fill their profile space with their signature codes from different campaigns. After several years of working here, I have gained a lot of knowledge and benefits in investment, besides that I also get bonuses from the signature campaign that I am currently advertising.

Reason why I came here is I want to learn related to crypto or the bitcoin itself It answers my questions throughout my journey and of course, shares a lot of ideas, knowledge, and skills I've gained through the years I came here, and also of course the other possible source of income we know how does the crypto can potentially give an earning from the play to earn, nft, altcoins, degens and of course bitcoin investment and trading, so I become thankful too because it helps a lot to my journey in crypto space. Even with the help of a signature campaign for my daily needs and expenses. Now one of my next move is to make an innovative project that could be personal yet.

You see these names: Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency, Blockchain technology, and the likes of then are words I admire because of it fast growing vigor. When you hear BTC, what first comes to your mind? As a novice, whenever I hear BTC, i see a big network that only God knows how it operates. So when I heard a brother discussing about Bitcoin, and the Bitcoin forum, I quickly developed interest and found my way here.

Indeed, all he said about the rich knowledge of Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency shared in the forum is no fallacy. Enough to read and learn from. Many more knowledge to be gained about the crypto world. Even though I have not gotten it all as a newbie, but the little I know now makes me happy to be part of this community. And then finally, as time goes on, as I keep growing, I also hope that the rich knowledge about Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency will enable me earn too..

I have always love to get involved in the crypto hole and I found this forum as an avenue to learn. Top priority in this forum has been to get knowledge on the hottest trends, news, gist about bitcoin and other cryptos. Apart from the Bitcoin board, I have seen other boards like economy, local and others that I have also gotten one or two information from on the work, finance, the economy. I like the trading board despite not being a full trader there are many helpful tips that in the future when I decide to go into trading full time will be very useful.

I have seen this forum as a place that where I always love to give my opinion about an even and learn from others as well. I have observed that some people take this forum for earning which I don't think is wrong because that is that motive. By also being on the forum and participating to adding to its growth you can earn too not from just signature campaigns but from rending a service.

So you mean people wearing signature codes on the forum, their main aim of joining the forum is not for the sake of learning or teaching other people? If there is no signature campaigns on the forum, am sure some people that are posting currently will still keep on posting irrespective of if their is payment or not, and I don’t see anything bad in learning or teaching and earning, so don’t think everyone wearing signature campaign code will stop posting immediately their is no signature campaigns.
 
I know the majority of people in campaigns are doing it for the sake of money, but if they don't learn or share their own ideas, they won’t be able to rank up their account, and they won’t be able to participate in signature campaigns.
 
I know people that are posting on the forum without wearing any signature code or applying for signature campaigns are doing it just because they want to learn, or they want to pass the knowledge that they have to others, but I will say some people in signature campaigns main purpose of joining the forum is just because they want to learn, and they see that there is an opportunity to earn, and they decide to participate.

Different people are here for different purposes;

• A few are here to learn
• Majority are here to earn
• Some are here to scam
• Some others are here for business
• Some to promote their services or projects
• Some early adopters are still here to teach

Different people with different reasons.

I did not said they will stop posting immediately if they are not in paid campaigns. But I believe most of them won't write four five posts in a day. I often check profiles that are not in signature campaign right now but they used to wear signature. Most of them write five to ten posts a week. If you check the service board, you will notice some people participating in free signature campaigns like Bitlist. But, they aren't posting much. They are here on the forum and applying in new signature campaigns. I know there are some forum members like Timelord who spend a lot of time on forum and does not wear paid signature. They are exceptional.

This is common things happening since for people who's not on campaign there would be no pressure for them to reach their quotas. Compare to those people who are in campaign where they need to post specific numbers per day so that they can achieve to get their minimum or maximum post count needed to get paid from their campaigns.

But still appreciate those people continue to post despite of them not having a campaign since that means they are not really into money since they could still able to post and just wait for opportunity to join again if there's new campaign opens. Since there are some users who just came here if they have campaigns then immediately quit posting in forum if they cannot get something from here.

There are members who post a lot but don't join any signature campaign like JayJuanGee, phillipma, and they don't need a signature campaign with post quota for payments to make their posts.

There are also other members who don't post to hit their post quota even they are in signature campaign. In the past, many ChipMixer campaign participants didn't mind to reach weekly post quota.

I agree with you that most of forum members are opposite with two above categories, they are more active when in a campaign and less active or inactive when there is no campaign. Some CM participants turned to inactive or left the forum after that campaign stopped and mixers banned in the forum.

You are right and I agree with you, there are some users who stay active everyday because of the paid signature campaigns they are into they always post to meet it their weekly target in order to the paid by the signature campaigns such users will find it difficult to continue to posting the way they do it they are out of signature campaigns but there are users who are here not just because of the signature campaigns but because of the discussion and interaction that is going on here everyday they see the signature campaigns as a bonus so they will keep doing their things whether or not they are in campaign. This is all about the individual and the decision they have made before coming to the forum.

The financial incentive played a big role in encouraging people to continue posting in the forum, which is one of Bitcointalk's great features. It is a long-standing forum with a history in the digital world. It prompted project owners to use it to market their brands with this effective strategy within the crypto community.

The financial reward may not be of great value to someone residing in Western countries, but it was a positive psychollogical factor for them. Frankly, even if this financial incentive is not present, there are moral incentives, such as learning, gaining experience, correcting mistakes, and personal development, that any member, whether old or new, acquires from high value posts and threads. This is something invaluable and goes beyond mere financial incentives.

This forum has greatly enriched all those involved in the crypto arena,,which was created by Satoshi and even the early Bitcoin developers who participated in it, which makes the goal of any person to engage and join to post, learn, and document their contributions in this giant archive.

Not everyone comes to the forum with a certain intention. Some come to learn and some come to participate in campaigns. But most of the people who come to the forum seem to come to participate in the campaign. Those who do not participate in campaigns are the most reputable members of the forum.  Also, I noticed that most of the members who don't participate in the campaign don't stay on the forum for long. Of course there is a reason that when participating in a campaign there are certain rules and regulations that the campaign has to follow and post.

But I was happy to see that there are some free campaigns in which they are participating and they are posting regularly, although there is no requirement to post, they will post as much as they can, but this is really good because everyone is promoting them for free.

Unfortunately, some people deny this fact. As I said previously, I wouldn't spend that much time on the forum if there were no signature campaigns. Probably I would come to the forum, read some posts, and reply only if I am too interested to write a reply. Or sometimes create a thread to share my opinions and experiences. I would spend more time where I could make some money.

Since the forum is allowing me to make some money just by writing regular stuff that I do online, why not spend more time on the forum? Probably I would have spent this free time on Facebook and looking at stupid reels. But I am glad I can make some money from the forum. So, no matter if some people disagree.

Yes, regardless of the reason for spending time on forums, the underlying point of it all is the money factor. Every user who is still advertising a signature campaign will always be active on the forum almost every day, but the situation is different for users whose signature space is still empty. Actually, being active in the forum by replying to several comments is also very necessary even if you are not advertising anything. By contributing to the forum through comments or just answering other users' questions, you will increase your chances of being accepted in a new campaign.

Well in as much as you are right by saying the underlying point of it all is money I would also want to say that not all member I mean everyone that has that intention because I have seen few people who doesn't give a shit about the signature campaign and sometimes I use to ask myself what exactly are they doing and one of the people I am talking about is JayJuanGee, and I have also learnt alot from his post and also how to go about my investment though my initial plan was to make money and also learn and not only by joining campaign but also  by knowing how to go about my investment and look for coin with a great potential instead of investing in random coin that will make my BP to rise again and again. And I have actually learnt a lot from other good poster and of course I'm aware of so many things now.

I strongly believe that everyone's priority/ aim is meant to be how we can be educated on how bitcoin investment works not only bitcoin investment but crypto investment entirely by bringing our opinion/ ideas on how to go about it, This is supposed to be everyone's priority/aim just as the name may imply (bitcointalk). though their are some people whose intension is also to make money in the forum, actually I think is just the same thing. Moreover, if you have the intension of learning to know the strategies to take when making investment and also understanding the market very well of course probably after getting all the necessary information about crypto investment you can still start making investment and also making profit from your investment, as Long as you're also earning from there is just the same thing.

My aim of being here is to explore everything about cryptocurrency. Being in this Bitcointalk forum was the best thing that have ever happen to me, because I have gained many knowledge about Bitcoin investment. One thing I always like about this Bitcointalk forum is that, we keep on learning different things everyday. which have really helped me to be more conscious both in the forum here, and aside the forum.

Reading all of these responses made me chuckle.
Yeah, sure, in 2013 we were here to learn something, but nowadays, 99% of people here are for the money.
Be it bounties, aidrops, campaigns or just tips on a good deal, it's all about the moolah

I noticed a friend speak Bitcoin & crypto related language and terms, showing great knowledge of it. I wondered, trying to find out what was his source of knowledge, the he mentioned Bitcointalk forum. Thus, I didn't hesitate to join the forum..

I came here with the sole aim of gathering knowledge about Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency and secondly, to earn either by joining campaign projects when I rank up or through trading and acquiring of Bitcoin bit by bit which gives me great profit at a long run..

There are allot of Great minds here that share great ideas in the forum so it's a place I'm building my self. This forum has taught me allot about Bitcoin investment and also to make some income out of these great ideas in time to come. 

Well beyond falsehoods, I do value every other aspects of the forum too. but honestly my first priority was and will be earnings from here, because as an independent student I would fullfil all my expenses  by myself, and that's why I do join forum firstly as a bounty hunter which most of current user does , and then with passage of time my attention shifted toward rank progression and gaining essential knowledge to survive in signature field cycle and also to securing a steady income to filled tuition fees.
But at a same time it's truly a onestop hub for learning & growth in the cryptocurrency space, where every crypto enthusiast can filled his knowledge scale from top to bottom regarding every aspect like mining, Bitcoin & alts, market, investment and so on.

The fact is that any newbie who is eager to make money when he joins the forum newly was introduced here to make money and not to learn what is being taught in the forum, and for this those are the people who are finding it very difficult to make even make money from the forum because they don’t want to learn, and even if you are here to make money, you must learn before you can grow in the forum. 

However, the high-rank members you are saying must be only a very small number of people that will do that; the reason is that many high-rank members you see here are in this forum even before they start the signature campaign, and that is why I’m surprised when you say some high-rank members are complaining. Why will they complain? They won’t do that. 

There are many reasons to join and start in the forum, but if you are a person who are ready to learn, curious with knowledge, and have good attitude, intention to contribute to discussions and forum community, you will rank up through your good contributions, quality posts, and will have better chances than others to join best campaigns in the forum.

You can join forum because of money, like a money hunter, and start as a spammer, but if you improve yourself to become a quality poster, forum community will not be against you and your good contributions.

That's probably true, and I don't see anything wrong with that because as long as someone is at least contributing something in the forum, they deserve what they are earning from here. Those who don't deserve to earn aren't able to earn anything from this forum. The most lucrative source of income this forum has for most members is the signature campaigns, and we all know it's not easy to get into them these days because campaign managers have become more strict over time.

Bounties and airdrops were good in the past, these days, you can barely get a few bucks from them. I wonder what all these people applying for bounties and doing all those tasks get from these because most of these projects don't even make it to a major exchange, so it's mostly all just a waste of time.

About the knowledge part, I think when we post and share what we know, we also read what others have written, and somehow, we still get knowledge even if we don't specifically aim for it.

My aim and priority for being a member of Bitcoin forum is to share the little idea I have and also to learn more and I have really seen the benefits of being a member and that's because I have learnt alot from different platforms people sharing their ideas and opinions and it creates room for fast learning

The first time I joined this, because to learn bitcoin,
what I know is this is the biggest bitcoin forum on the internet

the second is to earn bitcoin,
after knowing that in the forum we can get additional income, such as from campaigns, bounties, airdrops, etc.

that's right, especially now in this uncertain era, many are trying to get additional income from the internet, one of which is from this forum bitcointalk

If we want to be honest, our goal in bitcointalk is not only to gain knowledge about bitcoin, but also how we can obtain bitcoin itself, or in other words, to increase our crypto assets and improve our finances
because we consider bitcoin as a hobby, so what's wrong if a hobby can become our income

maybe this is my honest answer
1. learn bitcoin, crypto, and its development
2. add and join a community of fellow bitcoin lovers
3. earn or get bitcoin income

First of all I have joined the forum to learn and gain basic information. Enough information that will enable me speak comfortably about Bitcoin. Information of how the forum works, all the rules and regulations that guide the forum, learn simple tricks that has worked for people who has excelled greatly, as well as to grow in the forum with time.
Secondly, the aim of every learner is to grow one day and apply all that he has learnt into a productive fruit that will give returns so after this learning process I hope to also get earnings from the forum. Earnings that will be enough to take care of bills and funds that will be enough to take care of other necessary needs.
Thirdly, it is of most importance that after learning and earning I invest part of this earnings that will generate more funds overtime.

I Love to learn, so I read a lot. Humor and fun are important to me also.

Everyone has their own reason of being here but from my experience in the forum, 98% is for the campaigns, 1% of the users in the forum are to educate others only and invest in bitcoin and the remaining 1% of users are neutral. They are in campaign but it is not because of the campaign they are here but just for the social interaction. They have joy when interacting with others. Though they are in campaigns to busy themselves in the continue interaction. The way they are interacting with people in their various social media platforms is the same way they are interacting with people here so they don't have any problems with other. If you didn't take their opinion, they move on.

Most people would come here and claiming to learn bitcoin but they end up with other things.

No need sorry to ask hahah.

What is your priority/aim in the bitcointalk forum. For me is to gain more knowledge and share some knowledge to be honest because of this forum I can grew until this level but even myself still consider as newbie because crypto space and technology space is move so fast.

Beside that for now I can make some money from it through bounty and some signature campaign like now.

It is cool that your aim is purely for knowledge. As you said you want to learn and share ideas among the forum members. Honestly, I rarely saw a forum member that focuses on learning only. Mostly, the forum members expect to gain money from bounties, signature campaigns, any many other things. Well, I just hope you can consistent with your priority in this forum. Anyway, why you want to focus on learning? Do you want to be a professional trader or a great investor? I suggest you learn both of them. Focusing on trading or investing only isn't wrong, but it will be better of you master all of them.

Learning never ends; where your own knowledge stops, that's where the other person's own starts from. We learn from others and also share what we know, and sometimes we get corrected, as we might be carrying wrong information around like the right one.

We come for something else, which is the knowledge majority of people say they are here for, no doubt, but the signature campaign and making money off the forum, which is an added advantage, have turned out to be the major reason. Now some share both aims with knowledge 50/50, while some focus only on one side. We are all not excluded from it.

I agree with what you say, most users here on the forum are really for the money. But at the same time I don't think that this is some kind of problem that should be condemned. Money is a very strong motivator, and people are ready to work and try hard for it . We do not condemn and judge people who work at other jobs for money. This is considered an absolutely normal exchange: your efforts and competencies for an adequate monetary reward. With our forum you can perceive it the same way. Only here in order to claim payment, you need to really delve into the topic, write something worthwhile and useful for others. And there is nothing wrong with the fact that you can get money for this.

Maybe you, as one of the old and experienced users of this forum, are not here to gain knowledge, but there will always be "newbies" (new bitcoin followers) in the world who will come here specifically for knowledge. And also for advice and help, especially if the questions concern the technical direction. Old users also need a forum in order to share their experience and knowledge, when all the experienced users leave the forum (for one reason or another), who will remain the bearer of knowledge?

But in general, a forum is a forum for communicating and exchanging information first and foremost. This is the most important thing, and under what "sauce" (incentive in the form of signatures and bounties) this happens is not so important. What is important is that the forum continues to "live" and communication here doesn't stop.

P.S. Bitcointalk can't be unrelated to money, because bitcoin is primarily money (at least, that's how it was intended).

My priority and aim in Bitcointalk is to learn and earn as well.And also build a reputable profile on this platform.Many users have different aim/priority for joining Bitcointalk,but I would advise the beginners never to put earning as their first priority.Having this mindset to earn in Bitcointalk from signature campaigns wouldn't allow you grow your account as a newbie, whenever I visit bounties board I do see newbies who ought to learn and participate on discussion are busy chasing after bounties.Just like I said, newbies learn about Bitcoin, this forum is a well of knowledge where you can learn about the crypto space.

To be honest. At first I just wanted to find free coins because initially I joined the telegram group airdrop and from there I was able to enter this forum. However, after getting to know this forum, it turns out that there are many benefits, starting from knowledge about crypto, crypto storage, trading and of course this forum can also make money.

From there I have a goal and priority to be on this forum to find information about crypto exclusively and I also just realized that this forum is the oldest crypto forum that has ever existed. So everything related to crypto or trading I look for in this forum, and finally because this forum is a discussion forum, anything that is not understood can be asked here so that it can increase my insight into crypto. Actually there is much more that we can get from this forum, if you often read and explore this forum you will find what is not found elsewhere.

I agree with you, the best answer to this question is learning and earning. Everyone here has almost the same motive , even as many people will act as if they weren't here for the both. Because I have had an argument with a user before about this same issue where it was made clear to me that he came only to learn and didn't included earn. then I said that If the forum where only to learn and not earn I doubt if people will be populated as it is right now. I wouldn't lie I came for the both as well that is learning and earning.

However, there are business people who run their business on the forum. especially those who are in accordance with their business sector. the forum does not prohibit that, at least for now. but who knows in the future, we never know how business owners will still be able to run their business in the forum and still get profit.
making money from what we like is indeed more fun. but maybe many forum members think more simply than just making money.

I didn't quite understand what your last phrase meant. What do you mean they think simpler than making money? Like they write just to chat? I think that the fact that the forum allows members to earn money is one of its main competitive advantages. People should have the opportunity to earn money from what they understand and enjoy.

We should probably explore all items here, if we have the ability in terms of it and applications, there are many places we can consult and ask here, if we like trading investing and participating in several prize campaigns, they are also here. I think this space is quite large, we just have to choose and sort out what we are able to follow. If I get knowledge and income from several campaigns that I follow, especially if I participate in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0.

I am sure, if a beginner who came to this Bitcoink Forum, based on his own findings when he found out Bitcoin and forums, I am sure the goal is to explore the workings of Crypto assets such as bitcoin and exchanges who can access or make transactions for crypto itself, that is the main goal for beginners for their own encouragement.

In contrast to beginners who came here on the suggestion of members who had already known Bitcointalk, of course Sangnya Bitcoin and campaign, depending on the old members often follow and participate in what campaigns Here there are several choices of BTC campaigns and bounty/token campaigns and there are also those who want to explore mining, services, business and so on.

If I first went to Bitcoutalk, I wanted to explore the statistics of some data about Bitcoin, the knowledge learned about how bitcoin works and several other things, as time goes by as you can see today.

Love this. Wish I could go far beyond this one day. This forum is fully rich with lessons and fun. Just like you have said, I have learnt alot here. It has really improve my crypto life. Although I'm here for financial purpose at first as I was introduced to the forum for bounty campaigns. But I got to know later after some months here that this forum is more than that after visiting different pages from the forum. This changed my motives here and make me have a different though from what I'm here for at first. Since then I have decide to learn from my superior in this forum and also make some contribution base on the little knowledge I have to newbies. I would never ignore the fun and entertainment part as well by reading and contributing in the gambling section as well as taking part in some competition (like the cooking contest just concluded in the Naija local board).

In my opinion I think the first aim of this forum is to give people the awareness of Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and some other relevant things that one ought to know in order to sharpen their... or guide people to the right part. Remember, information is very powerful it is through information you can become transformed or become great in life and Information will help you not to make mistake and even if you will... But it won't be much if you have information. This forum has really taught me a lot concerning Bitcoin, crypto and others because I have settle down to read and understand and it is not as if I'm done learning no, I'm still learning.

Actually here is a place to learn and teach or educate others about Bitcoin and many other important aspect of life. It more likely to be a place to solve problem for people who needs assistance expecialy in Bitcoin. And also a place to earn some Bitcoin every week. But that would be determined by your effort and hard work. Earning money from campaign is not even easy as people thought. Because we have fewer signature campaign but many users who need the slot. And some where fortunate and some where not.

This platform is a citadel of Bitcoin and crypto education and anyone who finds themselves here should be very lucky because the information they would receive from this platform can not be gotten anywhere and even if in some cases, they do research, they would also need to very the authenticity here because there are people here who are very much informed and are ready to help out with information and educative materials to support other members to learn more about bitcoin and crypto. Just like you have said, it takes commitment and effort if one must be educated and knowledgeable about Bitcoin and crypto because the industry is very broad and diverse.

Like you have said every has different aims and objectives of being here today. First I was so curious about Bitcoin, because my siblings always discuss about crypto currency, I will be like what are these guys talking about, also how serious and busy they get with Bitcoin, got me the most, i admire it and long to be as good as them.

I have really acquired good knowledge from the Bitcointalk forum, I will not take this platform for granted, and with time I will love to be like our dignitaries in the Bitcointalk forum. And special thanks to those who have shown me love in the forum from the very beginning.

You are very well guided because there is a deep curiosity about Bitcoin that has brought you here and entered this forum to find out more knowledge about Bitcoin and also others although outside this forum there is also a lot of knowledge about Bitcoin, but it feels like it will not be enough if someone is not in this forum although it is still possible if they do not enter this forum. I also hope to find more unique things and new knowledge here so that we can all always feel at home in this forum forever.

Here isn't a place to earn Bitcoin every week, don't go with that mindset or you'll lose focus and begin to chase after the sats instead of using the forum for the purpose it was created and that's to socialize and hangout with like minded people. The forum should be seen as just like other regular social media platforms but instead of using it as other social media is been used, here is to discuss Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. For the campaigns, don't think about the benefits first but build yourself a d your account and things will fall in place for you. Campaigns are privileges the forum has given to us so everyone is entitled to join one when you're qualified so make yourself qualified first and the campaigns will come looking for you instead of you looking for the campaigns.

To be honest, when I joined the forum my aim was to earn, it was just about getting the bag, but later on I got to realized that it isn't just that easy, I realized that without gaining knowledge of what the forum stands for it will just be a waste of time and energy, right now my priority/aim in the forum has changed, even though I still want to earn, my first priority is to learn, gain knowledge and give back to the forum by contributing to the forum and pass on the things I've learnt to incoming newbies just the same way veteran's in the forum has impacted me. I still haven't forgotten the earning part though. So what's more fun than to pass on knowledge and earn money while doing it?

Earning in the forum has been one reason most users are here and thought was just going to be reading and posting on the same note, some users has believed the forum was more than the monetary rewards.
I can bet it that majority of consistent users of the forum has gone to the extend of exploring off the forum all by the impacts gained from the forum.
To be honest, newbies at first timing would not see that impression to foresee this platform as an educative platform to build yourself up in so many ways.

Much has been said about the educational and enlightening component of this forum, and all this is true, the forum can indeed be perceived from this point of view, as its priority purpose. But I would also shift the emphasis to the fact that this forum is, first of all, a community. You can study in different places, access to information in the modern world allows you to do this. But people care where, with whom and from whom to study. And on the forum, the community learns from each other also because they want to choose this method of learning, closely intertwined with personal communication.
