I have been seriously researching the Bitcoin forums and websites of various coins and have been reading through the forums.
Now tell me if I am wrong, but in all these places of so-called professionalism, there is a stigma of untrustworthiness towards newbies and juniors alike.
Now all you professionals (who think you are) seem to have no time for others like the newbies and juniors alike, you seem to forget where you come from, you were also once a newbie, then a junior and time has given you to being a senior.
Even though some of you take the time to help others, which is great, others just stand back and become critical to others.
I feel inferior, intimidated and to bloody scared to come into some of these forums just to ask what I think is a complicated question, but what you think is an easy question because you most likely asked about it years ago.
A lot of people do not want to ask these questions or become active in forums purely out what professional/experienced Cryptocurrency members say about them, Untrustworthy, hell I take offence to that, even this web site uses this term on its new members.
I received a message from a member, so I replied to him and as I wanted to keep all my messages, I had the message come to my inbox and saw this planted right across the top of the message to him
!!! WARNING: This user is a newbie. If you are expecting a message from a more veteran member, then this is an imposter !!!
I felt very ashamed, so thank you for allowing that to be a header on my messages, I will now no longer send messages.
It will not matter what you say to change my mind for that either, I am disgusted with this website for allowing such a comment on their private messaging.
The wording could have been more diplomatic if your concerned about spammers/scammers/frauds/ or imposters,
I have a hobby which I love doing and that is hunting paedophiles and scammers to me they are both as dirty as the other is,
As for Cryptocurrency, this is a new thing for me, it is mainly to keep my old mind active and play the game of investing long term.
To me some of these coins are started from people who give up on them after a while, to which I consider this will happen to them all their lives,
These are the people you should be warning people us about and having a special page for scammers and the wallets they own.
As for the newbies and juniors and take another step to warn people without hurting or intimidating your new members.
Crypto is the Wild West of Scams. Sites take certain precautions to make sure people don't fall into traps. This forum makes it difficult to gain rank, but also on the flipside stresses that rank is not necessarily a sign of trustworthiness. I would recommend getting into Slacks for coins you are invested in. You will typically find a lot more help in real time for less grief.
