I have shared my personal experiences here on the forum in this link. Were learned almost the same I think but I will share what I really learned here.

I learned

• What is Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general and how it works
• How to earn Bitcoin using your own device
• How to store different coins in a most secured way
• Gambling since I've been involved into it. (When I joined here, I don't gamble TBH.)
• BBCODES (a little refresh on it because I've learned it when I was in college)
• How to transfer coins.
• How to trade using crypto
• How to use crypto for buying and selling

I think there are some more but that is not important or least important.

What I want to learn in the future.

• Lightning Network (How it works - complex part since I know it a bit already)
• Creating an ERC20 token that can help people in the future.
• How to be a professional trader.
• How to read charts and predict what can happen on it in an efficient way.

I know that some of us here came to this forum for money and thru the years, the main purpose of this forum which is to spread information about cryptocurrency has been slowly removed. I always say, read and read and read. Rich people right now didn't become rich in an instant. They spend many hours reading. Learn here on the forum, use the search button because most of the knowledge that we need regarding crypto is here already. Its just we don't have time to read. Thanks.

Bitcointalk forum is everything for me next to bitcoin actually because this is my main source of bitcoin.

I've learned a lot honestly;
1. Know what bitcoin
2. How to earn bitcoin without investing
3. Learn how to trade
4. Learn how to work with other people
5. Learn to set TIME MANAGEMENT

Despite of the things I've already learn, I still want to know more;
1. I want to know how to use many indicators to become a good trader
2. I want to know how to create signatures/avatar/bbcode
3. To know more about escrow services and offer this kind of service


Sharing also my timeline for the past year.

I joined this forum two (2) years ago when my friend showed me na pwede ka palang kumita ng pera online. Since may stigma ang online jobs due to networking, akala ko parehas lang siya pero nag-iba yung perspective ko noong first-hand ko siyang na-experience.

Throughout my stay dito sa bitcointalk.org, ito yung mga natutunan ko so far:

• Cryptocurrencies (in general) and their nature;
• Working online through maximizing campaign signatures;
• Blockchain and its application in the marketing sector; and
• Effects of cryptocurrencies in the international economy

Although in my stay of 2 years in this forum, it is relatively small compared to most people have learned in their journey in this forum. Regardless, I would say that what is important is we share our stories, provide our opinions, guide each member, and support fellow kabayans who are relatively new in the forum so they could do the same to the next generation.

Also, there are always room for improvements and learnings. I still find the technical boards and mining discussion confusing since I do not own, possess, or first-handedly experienced such.

Let us continue to grow (especially our local board) and support one another, especially na tayo talaga ang mag-tutulungan sa dulo!

[meanwords]

Sa totoo lang. Sobrang dami kong natutunan sa forum na ito. Bukod sa mga nabanggit na sa itaas, natutunan ko ring gumawa ng mga bagay na makakatulong sa journey ko papuntang software engineer katulad ng:

• Web developing and web designing
• Some back-end developing
• Blogging
• Marketing

Naging sobrang interested talaga ako sa Blockchain as a developer. Kung titignan mo maigi, marami pang magagawa ang Blockchain bukod sa as a way of payment. Although medyo may katagalan na akong member nitong forum na ito since 2017, marami pa rin akong gustong matutunang gawin kung sakali mang palarin. Tulad ng:

• Mining cryptocurrency in the future (I don't have the budget yet)
• Creating my own cryptocurrency
• Creating a machine learning that would be useful to blockchain

As time goes by, may mga maeencounter pa siguro akong things dito sa forum na hindi kopa nakikita but until then, ayan tatlo muna ang gusto kong gawin.

[rosezionjohn]

Marami-rami na rin natutunan mula nung nagsimula akong magbasa-basa dito. Gaya na lamang ng mas napadali para sa akin yung pagkilatis ng mga tokens o coins at umiwas sa mga mahihina at walang gamit. Mas natuto na din protektahan ang mga hawak kong crypto. Hindi pa masyadng advance pero papunta na din doon 

[lionheart78]

Things I learned and witnessed on Bitcointalk.org
Learning about cryptocurrency and other technical stuff in this forum is normal but aside from that there is another  side where I believe majority of us also witnessed and learned

• Politics
• Power Struggle
• Backstabbing other members
• Reputation Dramas
• Dancing with the music of the stronger DT faction
• Conspiracy

Just citing the obvious especially if  you are lurking on meta and reputation boards.


BTW grats @cabalism13.

  yeah there is also that. I'm trying to stay away from all non-crypto related stuff in this forum but you get suck in sometimes. Maybe that is also normal to have as long as you are in a forum that lasted for years and still going. 

[GreatArkansas]

Naging member na din ako ng ibang forum before (crypto/non-crypto) pero dito lang sa bitcointalk ako nahubog o naging bou. Madami ako natutunan, crypto/non-crypto things;

• Paano maging kapakipakinabang sa isang community.
• How blockchain works
• Paano pahalagahan ang pera
• Crypto technical/fundamental analysis
• How to identify potential scams in crypto
• Economics & Politics

I want to learn in the future:

• More bitcoin and blockchain things
• Develop my public speaking skills about crypto
• Improve my trading skills

In short, I will continue to learn, because there are still lot of room to learn, it is just amazing when you are learning other things. Keep learning and reading!

[creeps]

I heard Bitcoin in a year back 2016 pero binaliwala ko lang ito dahil mababa pa ang price, at na nalaman ko ang forum na ito after a year na noon biglang tumaas ang Bitcoin 2017 and that is fresh of my mind and I created an account here in the forum. Firstly, masyado akong curious how bitcoins works and what system behind on this and yun na nag join ako dito kahit kulilat ako sa salitang Inglis.(Until now)

This is what I've learned.

• I just learned and improve my writing skills
• Learned how bitcoin and blockchain tech. works
• Learned how to trade and invest using my money into crypto  
• Having extra income aside from my work
• I have bought a lot of things that I never expected through Bitcoin
• the Last one, I meet different people and friends through crypto and I keep them as a treasure until now

More that I want to learn.

• Making BBcode, Logo design and Sig. design
• All bitcoin wallets and of course Lightning network
• Bounty Managing

Thank you OP and Congrats once again. Great achievements, from merit source to Hero rank. Awesome.

Aside from btc related stuff (buying and selling, storing, sending, ways of spending), gambling, trading, politics and economy, the composition of this forum and how it works as well as the happenings in crypto sphere, I also learned a lot of lessons here which I could also apply in real life situations. I learned more about:

1. Communication Skills - My English written and comprehension skills are enhanced. Though hirap pa rin talaga ako sa mga malalalim na vocabulary words tsaka sa tamang paggamit ng phrases but mas improved na siya compare before. Another, nagiging mannerism ko pa rin yung paggamit ng words such as "that" and "because" but I'm already working on it.
2. Research - Mas naging matiyaga ako lalo na magsearch ng mga bagay bagay ranging from the jargons I can't understand up to the ideas na bumubuo sa mga post/thread ko.  
3. Time Management - Natuto akong hati-hatiin ang oras ako at iwasan na ang addicting games especially that I have to reach my weekly quota on my campaign.
4. Proper Ethics - I learned how to behave properly and talk to different members with different temper.
5. OCD - Mas naging organized ako. Napansin ko na lagi na akong nagdo-double check ng spellings, grammar and punctuation before posting at kung ako man ay may nakaligtaan ay ineedit ko pa. I also noticed na napapadalas na rin ang pagreport ko o kaya naman ay pagcritic/advice sa maling post ng iba. Nakakaya man aminin somehow but that's true .
6. Less Expectations, Less Hurt - Natutunan ko to live more without worries. Kung hindi ako mabigyan ng merit then it's fine, okay na sa akin yung hindi ako kabilang sa mga toxic dito. Kung hindi ako matanggap sa campaign ay okay lang din, iniisip ko na lang na marami pang chances na darating at magkakatrabaho na rin ako soon so money talks will be not a big issue anymore. I learned to not let these things stress me out, I just continue being patient and calm.

Other things I wamt to learn? Hmm, sobrang dami but here are some:

1. Btc/alt Mining
2. Daytrading
3. The blockchain tech itself
4. Encoding and Programming (BBcodes, Python, Arduino)
5. Meta related topics
6. Foreign language (sa pag-enter ko sa ibang local board)
