Newbies to Bitcoin can be dangerous!

[solenn heussaff]

I have run into several Bitcoin "newbies" over the last couple of months, that are spreading the wrong information on forums and/or in person. Their intentions is good, but the results is bad, because they did not do proper research.

Some of these people are selling themselves as experts, because they have been in the scene for a few months. I have been in the scene for years and I still know very little about EVERY aspect of this technology.

I think you should rather admit it, when you do not know something about the technology, than selling your little knowledge as facts. I will regularly tell people that I am not clued up with every aspect of this technology, but I always try to do proper research, when I encounter something that I am not 100% clued up on.

~ Ask, if you not sure.
~ Do not lie, if you are unsure.
~ Do proper research, before you educate other people.
~ Accept that you will not know it all.
~ Fact check what you already know.
~ Do not argue, if you not sure about your facts.

Let's agree that we all learn something new about this great technology almost every day, so only a small amount of us are experts. 

I agree that beginners or newbies in bitcoin can be dangerous specially if they don't have further knowledge about bitcoin and investing. I think before they enter bitcoin they must have knowledge about what will happen to their money so that they don't think what is happening.

Any market or business is dangerous for a newbie. I mean if you don't know what you are getting into then you are either going to make a huge mistake or get very lucky.
I guess you do have to get experience by trying or learn from others.

dangerous ... because prone to suffering losses. because of lack of knowledge about bitcoin

Now it's a lot of newbie who make new topics without knowing the truth and do not research first. It's actually dangerous because if the news is fake it can make all investors afraid to invest again.
I see a lot of newbies who make fake newtopics make me sad.

Regarding newbies starting a thread or making new topics. When I see that a  newbie  started a thread I chose not to qoute but before that I evaluate his/her topic if it was relevant or if it was redundant.  I am also afraid if there's an Airdrop or ICO that is started by a newbie I consider them scam. (But I hope they will not be offended by it, just prove that they work for it)

as the saying goes " the bigger are the mouths when the smaller are the brains" it is exactly what is happening for the most if the time, even though they are in crypto for a few months they do acts as experts of finance in general.

[3la9l_kolbaCa]

It is not bitcoin that is dangerous. It is lack of knowledge about it. It has nothing to do with bitcoin.

Use google!! The forums and your brain!! Knowledge is power.

I think the points you brought up should apply to most things in life and thus I can conclude that it is really just common sense.

We all started as newbies and nobody started being excellent. I think what causes the danger here is the lack of preparation, the willingness to learn, and passion. It's not all about earnings, trading, or investment. It's more on the attitude you put upon participating in the volatile and challenge field of Bitcoin. Knowledge, experience, and determination are very helpful for us to be guided, and for newbies don't feel intimidated to seek help or ask pieces of advise from influencers.

Yes but not all of them. Lets just help them and guide them. They just need to search different information on how are they going to manage their bitcoin. They need to know what will happen to their money if they invest in bitcoin.

[ridho002]

I don't think newbies can really affect bitcoin...they affect just themselves by wasting great opportunities because of their stupid ideas about the crypto world

They are just a small thing that will grow into something very helpful and will understand all about Bitcoin.

The 'newbies' in my opinion ,any not necessarily be newcomers in the entirety, but old folks with new accounts who just want to ask some 'silly' questions flood the forum with these kind of posts. How did I reach this conclusion? I am still new hear but I had to be careful taking time to know what to do and where to go to. I am also aware that new folks introduced by me took time before they could post anything and would rather, outside the forum, ask questions  privately.

One thing that's defiantly dangerous is how a lot of people react to fake news in this space and rush in an expedient way and do something stupid with there crypto. Once the crypto media starts maturing more then only then can think progress more. There is just way to much hype dancing around that to many people get immersed into this dancing that they forget reality. Many people exited this space in Q1 of this year, they where more interested in becoming the next Richie Rich I guess.

Whenever you are trying something new, you will be a newbie. It doesn't mean you stop trying. The most critical thing before investing in Bitcoin is that you educate yourself as much as possible on the risks that entail this investment.

[military]

I came across the fact that most of my acquaintances do not care about the crypto currency. Even the fact that bitcoin has grown in price to $ 20k does not bother them. Only a few believe that the future is for crypto...

[robinsquad]

As they say incomplete knowledge is a lot more dangerous than no knowledge at all. Cryptomarkets are evolving rapidly with each passing day. Moreover compared to fiat they are a relatively new phenomenon. It's important for crypto traders, newbies especially to acquaint themselves with the rudiments of cryptos how they work, why were they introduced, what is happening and what is the future of digital currencies. It is not an easy task. But I think instead of leaping to absurd assumptions about cryptocurrencies it's better to have an informed opinion and not just any opinion for the sake of it.

ignorance of experience will be bad for anyone, especially beginners, they might just hear the sweetness and don't care about losing their bitcoin, they only think of money and money.

[jamesclark]

It is also dangerous for them, luckily or unfortunately there are people who are afraid of this and go away, they do not want to listen or learn. For now we are doing well.

The same period of time I was a newbie too. So, I can say that without any knowledge about cryptocurrency in the market you in dun need to join it. It is the first step that all newbie must complete.

Exactly, I have been in the system for few months and the little experience I have had shows that we know not much about this technology. It goes far beyond what we think. It is best to research or ask relevant questions about this tech before you make a claim. I sincerely agree with you. But the issue is not for newbies alone. It seems to cut across all the ranks

[samiul12]

Newbies to btc is a 50-50 decision because now we can by at a cheaper rate later if price increase it will bring a lots of profits. But if it extinct then all will go down. But it is not a simple thing to happen. So for newbies it is not dangerous it can be a blessings also.

[tsinelas]

All newbies in bitcoin can be dangerous in the sense that they dont have that enough knowledge and experience how to use this kind of technology. Newbies are the person that can be easily hack or scam. So, what ever you gonna do about bitcoin, read, research ask question before you act.

But there are also newbies that are the multi account of a higher rank account  For me some newbie account are used for hacking and scamming. The person who have multi account that have an Idea for hacking are the most dangerous one they create a new account to prevent their higher rank account for banning. But I hope they don't have objective.

Maybe most of them because they are taking those losses too much seriously instead of taking that loss into a lesson no they are blaming all of that into the bitcoins even if it is not the bitcoins fault at all it is all their fault. That is why the bitcoins are in a bad shape today because they are spreading the false news into the people who are ignorant to bitcoins.

[fighter55]

We could call them newbie specialists and they are dangerous because they do not know about electronic money market, never study appropriately.
