Newbies + Bounty = Zero future

[CaCO3]

95% newbies of this forum is active on bounty threads.  They do not want to enter any other discussion thread.  Not many newbies even know that there are such discussion threads in this forum.  They have no interest in knowing anything about Bitcoin.  I don't understand why they do that. So do they lack knowledge about this forum?  How can they be made aware?  In my opinion every newbie should try to gain knowledge about bitcoin from Active in different discussion threads.  If they do, they will be in a better position in the future.  I know that the seniors of this forum are trying in various ways to make the newbies aware of this.  The reason was that they always realized that "today's child is the father of the future."

I get it if they needed the money faster, because it's safe to assume that there are a lot of people here that are in not-so-good situations. But on the other hand, a lot of them would have a lot better opportunities if they actually decided to spend some time with research and actually learn. A lot of them have been here for years and years but still solely stick without bounties.

One thing's for sure though, it's pretty evident that a lot of them really don't give a crap about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and there's nothing we can do about that.

True that. But your discussion is not about bitcoin and it can be discussed in Beginners & Help (is it for newbies, beginners)? or Bounties (Altcoins). My respect, the discussion is not necessary and the Beginners & Help is more and more trashy with bull market since 2020.

What they do is not discussion, it is spam. It is not a discussion at any level if posters do neither read OP, first posts and last posts. Bounty hunters type as fast as possible to get posts or some don't even make posts, they make bounty reports (facebook, twitter, ie.)

[ChrisPop]

People who do bounties are generally from third world countries and they are obviously not financially independent. It is logical for them to look for ways to enrich themselves as soon as possible. When seeing bounties that advertise themselves with a budget of $500k in tokens it is hard not to FOMO and participate in the activity.

Anyway I believe that as long as they spend time in this forum their subconscious is exposed to deeper discussions about the technology and current events.

They have no interest in knowing anything about Bitcoin.  I don't understand why they do that. So do they lack knowledge about this forum?

Like you've said they don't have any interest. It's not that they lack knowledge but they are more concern on ways on how to do or earn money here.

They will realized this in the end. Also came from this and able to stop myself from doing social bounty and divert it into something more worth it. Those 95% assumption by OP is technically reduced somehow in the long run. Some of those are probably changing as they observed what is best here and that is not on spamming on bounty.

Am not sure it is because they do not know that a discussion thread exists, it is because this newbies are mostly here to earn rather than learn about bitcoin. Those who introduced them to the forum must have told them that they stand a chance of making alot of money participating in bounties and social media campaigns. This is wrong thinking and that is why you get to see their profile with bounty reports.

[bayu7adi]

I have never been bothered by the existence of people making money through this forum. I actually feel that if this forum can be useful in helping them financially, that's a good thing. With the campaign and campaign participants, the economy in this forum will be formed naturally. I am sure, some of those who expect money through this forum, there must be someone who studies this forum more deeply, including studying Bitcoin and blockchain technology ... I am very sure

There will come a time when they will have to upgrade on this forum from being money hunters to knowledge hunters and they will upgrade their creativity. The reason is that money always follows people who are knowledgeable and creative.

They prioritize money over knowledge and that's the time that they will have a problem understanding their goals in life.

This forum is not only about earning money, it is about character development and widening your understanding towards the economy, cryptocurrency, blockchain technology and etc.

This is not a gambling site, this is not a money making platform, so you should develop your mindset and start hustling not only with bounties but you for you skill to improve and become much more effective in making critical discussions here in our forum.

[DarkDays]

I get it if they needed the money faster, because it's safe to assume that there are a lot of people here that are in not-so-good situations.

But that's the thing you don't actually get paid to the point where you can rely on it for income. If you get lucky then you might end up with tokens that you can then sell but often that's not the case ;(

But on the other hand, a lot of them would have a lot better opportunities if they actually decided to spend some time with research and actually learn. A lot of them have been here for years and years but still solely stick without bounties.

I agree and I think this is perpetuated and passed down from 'friend-to-friend' but it is not something reliable or something you can grow in, perhaps a temporary solution to some financial difficulty, and perhaps lack of time to learn new skills??? Let's face it most people on this Earth are in that situation, never having the time to better themselves.

[mardaed]

Bounties is one of the best way to earn without any investment just time and effort and so it's very popular for the newbies who wanted to earn cryptocurrency but yes that's true if they would just rely to bounties they won't have any future to it. It's not like the 2017 where bounty was still profitable now it's just full of scams and worthless tokens.

I just noticed many newbies who only creates account just to join bounties are here for a quick money and unfortunately we cannot do anything about it only the BM has the responsibility whether they will accept newbies or not if you are a responsible manager and you want to help to make this forum clean from spamming you should limit your participants to Jr.mem and up or much better  accept only Member+ let the newbies learn first before earning.   

[manfredmann]

This should be posted or move to meta, beginners & help section or other section that could fit this topic to be posted. Anyway, bounty hunting does not require any rank here to join except signature campaign and if bounty managers made some rulings over bounty hunting. Usually bounty managers had simple rulings and tha if you can do it then even if you are newbie you can still earn.

Maybe because the person that guide him here is only teach him how to earn in bounties .so they are  only focusing on earning money and not to talk to anyone here in this forum .they do not care in discussion but only in how much  money they can earn while they are here.

This is also the reason why it is much harder for them to rank up because the  only post they made is proof of authentication.

First of all, this thread doesn't belong to the Bitcoin discussion board, the thread should be moved into the altcoin discussion board. Reported to moderators, hope they will move it.

Back to the topic, it's true that 90% of newbies active only bounty thread. That's not only newbies problems, responsibilities also go to introducer who have introduced this forum with newbies. They only informed about the earning from the forum, not about the other benefits. Newbies are thinking there are quick earning methods buy bounty campaign, and that's the reason why they have been active on the bounty section. But eventually, they regret it due to numerous scams. You can't divert them into constructive discussions, because there are no financial benefits from them.

[BlackHatCoiner]

One thing's for sure though, it's pretty evident that a lot of them really don't give a crap about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and there's nothing we can do about that.

That's basically the biggest problem on this community. People that have come here just to make money without having any special or technical interests about bitcoin. Internet has thousands of these unethical people that will do anything just to make money. I bet that there are hundreds (if not thousands) of people among the forum's members that have created a scam looking survey, spammed it on people's instagram, just to earn some bucks. I hate when I visit sites that make huge promises by doing a survey.

As for the bounties, I don't think that it's that bad for the forum. IMO, it's just too stupid to participate. You're hoping for a project to go well and there are thousands of others out there that failed.

a lot of them would have a lot better opportunities if they actually decided to spend some time with research and actually learn. A lot of them have been here for years and years but still solely stick without bounties.

True. I made an account on March and I have to admit that this is a fact: Signature campaigns > Bounties. Months passed since I realised that signature campaign thing.

The truth is that a newbie in a forum that is very new to them wont go striaght to the bounty section to engage in bounties immidiately, it seems those newbies are already familier with forum so it is easy for them to carry out bounty task, this means that they are not new in crypto anymore if they can already perform this task properly,  we have millions of registered and non registered members who visit this forum always with different intention.

[Warkop]

In my opinion, it is absolutely true, beginners who register and create an account in this forum only want to participate in projects that hold campaigns just to get prizes, they don't want to have good knowledge of cryptocurrency here, even though they have a lot to learn. to find out about what cryptocurrency will look like in the future, not just following a bounty campaign. In my opinion they were only taught by someone how to get prizes in this forum, the rest they are not informed about cryptocurrency knowledge in this forum, even though if they have good knowledge about cryptocurrency this can be used to tell people who want to learn. more about how cryptocurrency is in the future.

[bakasabo]

Take a look from different angle - why would they need to be interested in bitcoin and technology, if they are here only to get money. Their only goal is to earn and it is wrong to force them to participate in discussion and to learn. As they are newbies and mostly participate in social media bounties, imagine they are, for example, security guards in medicine research labs. They dont have to be interested in chemistry, physics and medicine, or show an interest to learn new. They just do their job, same as bounty hunters newbies, who barely goes out from Bounty section.

[msarro]

You may not know those newbies are related to each other I've seen many reports about bounty abusers wherein they create multiple accounts to participate on bounty campaigns I think the bounties are full of cheaters the projects/bounty itself that runs from participants and the participants who are cheating. I really can't see any future if you are going to rely on the bounty itself.

[Casdinyard]

Maybe they are not aware but there are some who are, but their actions won't give them anything. The standards on bounties are now "higher" than before wherein there are projects accepting low rank participants but things are now different. Most of the time, projects prefer Sr. Member rank and higher. Full members are not even having huge opportunity in projects, so what more if the ranks are lower. Eventually they will be more likely pushed to work with their ranks. For sure they are here in this forum due to rewards and not merely discussions alone 'coz what will they get from doing so? It will trigger a domino effect. They would work on this forum, pushing them to interact with other users which will eventually give them knowledge of what this technology is all about.
