guys i think op means how to contribute to the bitcoin network technically, so probably if you want to contribute like that you need to be a tech savvy which require some computer code skills.
one of specific contribution is by run your own full node , and you are already help the bitcoin network accepting transactions and blocks.

Spreading the word is one of the things you should do, but when you are a programmer, you could contribute by give your help to the core developers.

What would be great too is if you build some advanced bitcoin tools for easy use.

To get the things going, you could even contribute by paying miner fee a bit higher than you usually pay, that will help get your transaction confirmed and let the network run smoothly...

Other things you can do is, keep some coins in your client and just put it on so that it might help the network...

It does help to make stress testing slightly more expensive and that's it. The difference that you're going to make is very small.

That is for POS coins. Bitcoin is a POW coin. When running a full node, you are only contributing by relaying blocks (non pruning mode), transactions and enforcing the network rules. There is absolutely no difference in running a full node with or without any coins.

At least it makes some difference, whether small or large...
Small things help in making it large, so collect small and make it large...

Sorry, I didn't mean to say it in that means...
I know Bitcoin is a PoW coin, but yes I thought running our client could help the network a bit, so thanks for clarifying...

i too dont really have much in depth knowledge of btc, only the surface level of how roughly it is generated how to secure ur wallet how to sign your address, how to transfer btc. so i cant really go into the development team but what i feel i can contribute is by word of mouth, and invest more into btc and use it more often. it is acutally a great method cause transaction is fast and easy.

Just trade with Bitcoin. If you're not a coder of sorts, this is the best way to support the blockchain.
