Do not rely on articles as resources to learn Bitcoin

[nakamura12]

If you are not sure with the article or you think that it is misleading then you should make more research and compare both so that you will be aware that an article is giving an information of a certain topic (let's say topic 1) and the other article also provide or share information about the same topic which is called topic 1 but different article and author. If you compare both then you will know the difference between the two articls with the same topic before you will ask someone which one is correct and which one is misleading or you found the correct somewhere on the internet. My point is that it is much better if you obtain information from different sources as there could an article or an information that is misleading.

As long as the sources are adding information for someone who wants to learn more about Bitcoin and it's not corrupting the mind of its readers, that's a fine source.

These sources are even just for free and they've made of course by these exchanges or whoever sponsors them and have it put on their website. And that's the actual fee that every guest or visitor pays them, the traffic in exchange of the resources and information that they've included on these articles.

But it's true that some of these articles might be misleading and bias.

They might be misleading due to some misconceptions that authors viewed from bitcoin. This is why we don’t have to limit ourselves from just few articles and stick to them. There are a lot of reputable and legit resources that we can find online, we just have to explore the internet and do our own diligence to find out which are legit and which are unreasonable. Thus, exposing our minds into different views make us more knowledgeable and wise.

With various resources that we can find over the internet, it's true that no one is limiting us to have a lot of source for articles that we like to read.

When something is off with the information that's said on that particular article that we read, we can find another one that's more verifiable and reliable.

Fake news is a lot these days and you can also read a lot of articles that's made for an agenda that's setting the mindset of readers depending on the perspective of the author.

Talking about reading articles online, you can't entirely condemn them, I've known so much more about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in less than a year since I started BTT. This is even as I have never given any of your suggestions any thought. Good, unbias and reasonable articles are many on the internet and are not difficult to find for good education.

Perhaps, you are trying to advise us to avoid articles that review companies, which would be wise because almost all of them are already paid and will surely be doing the bidding of their paymaster.

With the guidance of Bitcointalk and the wisdom of the researchers, such could be avoided as everything needed would be sorted out without giving a room for sentiment.

I see many friends and even some accounts here that rely on some paid (click me) articles as sources to learn technical about Bitcoin.

Almost all platforms and news sites have devoted articles to learning or what is known as academy, and many of the technical articles on those sites contain misleading or biased information, such as some bitcoin.com articles.

Binance Academy, cointelegraph, crypto.com, Bybit Learn,....

Thank you for sharing your insights regarding the potential risks of relying solely on paid articles for technical Bitcoin information. Its crucial to be cautious of misleading or biased content found on various platforms. As you said To ensure accuracy consider referring to alternative sources like books, GitHub repositories, technical discussion boards and reputable websites. Also Andreas Antonopoulos is indeed a valuable resource for answering questions and providing reliable content I follow him on his youtube channel and watch videos regularly his contribution to promoting reliable learning resources is greatly appreciated.

Yes, some of the articles are bias so you have to be very cautious on what to rely to. And as much as possible, do not just read articles but also take some time to see real videos too because that’s more convincing. And I believe experience is still the best teacher. You will never learn it all unless you have to experience it all by yourself.

Have your own diligence to do the research every now and then and never rely in a single resource but have different resources to depend on as the more legit information you have, the more knowledgeable you become. And never just rely on reading alone, ask personal experience if you can because that is way more real and legit than just merely reading.

I did not include that one but that's my point in why people should gather information from different sources and ask someone based on their experience. Honestly, that's what I am doing until now and the reason why I achieved what I have right now. Reading alone is good but doing something hands on is much better. Reading alone without doing yourself or experiencing yourself is different and I know that's what you mean. You should tell op about having your own diligence to do not just research but also experiencing it yourself.

Doing research about what we want to learn is what is going to help us individually to get more info about what we intend learning. Just like you have written, it is not that good for us to rely on a single source of information to avoid getting inadequate knowledge about what we intend to know about. Many persons had made the mistake depending on a single source for legitimate information mostly when it is related to investment.

Some persons had ended up in a scam casinos because they depend on information they get from a third party websites where they are mostly paid to write articles about different projects and tag then to be reputable and reliable casinos that everyone can use without getting scammed or having problem.

will lock this topic, I hope that the message has been received, because I get annoyed when someone attaches a link to a newspaper or advertising sites as a source of information.
