How much time you spend to read forum post ?

[bustedsynx]

In my case, I am an altcoin holder and I hold 15 to 20 different types of altcoin. The Bitcointalk forum is the first stop for reading updates about the coin I hold. And then I move on to the coin's Telegram chat. I rarely visit their Reddit pages since I prefer chronological posting and not lists that prioritised popular posts.

So around one hour to three hours a day.

I also prefer point number 2, I'd like to spend time on reading forum post rather than making a new one, I also realize I'm not that good enough to create a high quality post/thread, but I also not aiming to gain some merits anyway.

I am not against on reading posts OP since this is the basic way to learn and earn here in the forum. However, we have images also that conceptualize a certain message depending on what the images portray.

In my own way as a visual learner, I do learn more watching than reading tons of posts here. But here in the forum I can't help myself to learn but to read and I will just scan on important posts that are worth it to read. One can easily spot a good posts by seeing the user who posted it. Usually high merited users are good posters that usually posted interested replies or create new thread.

I have often seen good posters in meta or in this section. Luckily, not all users came to visit this section and make a good discussion with them. So grateful to contribute in a little way by not just reading but also participating in an active discussion.

Which one you like most?

1. Do you like to make your own post ?
2. Do you like to spend time on reading forum post?

I think it belongs more to a discussion section rather than beginners section. I prefer both, i like to take part in discussion but also like to read.
I spent ton of time here, mostly reading but also posting. It depends on mood also if i want to participate more or read more.

If we gather enough knowledge by reading other members post then I believe it will obviously help us to improve our own. Honestly there is no age or time limit for learning because its a process which starts during our birth and continue until death. Every single quality post have got valuable information to build our knowledge vault.

Yeah its true that most of the new user get crazy to find the way of earning merit and i think getting merits isn't an easy task if you don't have the ability to make quality post. Merit will come easily when others will find your post enough good and helpful. We should change the mentality to earn merits from the very beginning where its really necessary to help others by sharing our creative ideas and knowledge. A quality post will earn its merits easily so its no need to be crazy for it. Its better to concentrate on making quality post rather than begging for merits.

Well I like to do more of reading and commenting to others post but when ever I have something I feel is important and helpful to the forum I do not hesitate to air my mind by composing my own post

Hello Guys,

Welcome to my thread. Today I am going to share my own knowledge about the necessity of reading forum post. Let me ask you something

Which one you like most?

1. Do you like to make your own post ?
2. Do you like to spend time on reading forum post?

Both options are very crucial and one should not supersede the other.

For the first option, making your own post is the first step in communicating with the community. You get the opportunity to share your knowledge, to give your opinion on something, have the chance to get merited, and to layout your platforms if you are promoting your business, services/products. In other words, constructing a post connects you with the people in the forum.

For the second option, browsing through the forum and reading posts from different subsections essentially render you the necessary knowledge about cryptocurrencies, in general. For newbies who are relatively new to this term, they get to learn all the basics and fundamentals (given that they utilize the search bar effectively!).

Well I like to do more of reading and commenting to others post but when ever I have something I feel is important and helpful to the forum I do not hesitate to air my mind by composing my own post

Sharing anything is appreciated by everyone, regardless on how small or big it is. Just prevent spamming the forum and re-stating what most people said as it only contributes in flooding posts.

I spend a good amount of time on this forum but most of my time I spend with reading rather than typing or creating content because I believe there is a lot to learn here and sometimes it can get frustrating with the multitude of irrelevant post but there are a lot of educating topics especially in this sub topic.

I like to educate when i do create original topics of my own. Its also a way of learning

I spend about 90% reading post here in the forum to learn and stay up to date, but topics i like and can share some knowledge i want to participate posting there then, too.
