Learn from others experience

[Alisha-k]

A wise fellow don't have to experience a thing before knowing what's obtainable. Learning from peoples mistakes can come in handy when dealing with risky adventure. One thing to point out is that nothing is new certainly someone somewhere must have encountered what you are about to tackle so taking advantage of their experience will help you alot in tackling yours you shouldn't reinvent the will

I think most of the parts you'll be permabanned for here are quite logical and explicit (like don't plagiarise).

There are some that aren't as explicit like people being banned for scams when they're claimed to be unmodded, however, the idea of just not making the forum a bad place probably still exists there - and a lot of those scammers might be the same person.

Even in the real world Plagiarism is an offence that in some cases is punishable by a jail term. As for scammers, they are one of the smartest lots in the world however instead of they have chosen to channel their intelligence to the wrong activity. In the human society such behaviors are not condoned.

Growing up i was thought how to learn from peoples experience (mistake) because sometimes learning from personal mistake can be like a mark that one won't be able to forget and it could be to late to correct some mistake.  When I joined the forum some months ago I got to know the forum has strong rules that if anyone takes for granted that person maybe penalized in respective of rank or position.

Never joke with Bitcontalk.org cause all eyes are watching you especially when you ignorantly break the 7 golden rules of the forum attracting bigger penalty that is capable of throwing you out of the forum if you are not that careful with your activities here. Bitcontalk is one of the best forum I have ever joined, full of information and individuals that are ready to help, guide and portray an epitome that is suitable for one's activities throughout the journey of cryptocurrency and trading.

Many newbies might still be skeptical of what this great forum entail and capable to adding one's life if they'll keep to the rules guiding there activities here on this forum. Never mind, I'm still learning and I can afford to let go of this forum.

I believe times without number some top members have made little mistakes that is against the forum rules and they served the consequences. It will be too bad if will keep on falling fall little mistakes. New members let's try not to learn from our mistake because if we do ,it maybe too late to correct it .

Never wait to learn from your own mistake cause it might be a disaster to you and difficult to amend. Life is full of ups and downs and circumstances everywhere, so we'll have to watch before we leap, learn unlearn and relearn to balance what life has to offer.

Wouldn't  you wanna reach the top? The position where you'll be called a Legendary?...The journey is tough while the tough will keep on moving in respective of the circumstances on the way.

[Piggymonster]

I totally agree with you. It is better to learn from the mistakes of others, being observant and analytical along with being intuitive so that you can avoid making it and be punished. Just read and abide the rules and study more. I liked it that everything is fair here, wether you are a newbie or legendary, if you do something bad then you will get what you deserve.

Now on the forum, the rules are very self explanatory, don't engage in activities that'll result to you getting banned or ruined your account and you'll be alright.

I think the major problem here in the context of this forum is that some newbies are not disciplined enough to read through thoroughly the rules of this forum before they started, and so they have little understanding of how the forum operates.

Also there are also those who have read the rules and even heard the experiences of others but still choose to try maybe thinking that because the forum has many users it will be difficult to single them out.

For us who have been here a bit and the really old users, if you refer any bitcoin or crypto enthusiast to bitcointalk for the purpose of learning, please be sure to advice them to read and understand the rules of the forum, and if possible share personal or another users experience with them.

Buddy, experience is still the best teacher, not minding what the turn out of the event was, you'll still learn more effectively when you're the one experiencing the situation but that doesn't mean you should always put yourself at risk of always been hurt just to learn.

Experience ofcourse is the best teacher. But the OP stretch the topic towards another angle. The suitable title ought to be "Learn from others mistakes" and not "Learn from others experience". I would probably not commit murder in order to have prison experience. Likewise, I would also not want to plagiarise in order to have a permanent ban experience.
Experience should rather be used in more positive failed missions. Like, I chosed the wrong risk management in trading and blew my portfolio(this should be an experience) in a better context.
So, in order to have better understanding in live, experience is needed, but in the context of op, we learn not from others experience but mistakes.

Not everyone is lucky enough to live in a life where we never committed any mistakes but as a normal practice we should know the basic things about it before jumping in which also applies to bitcointalk. Most of the boards have sticky threads which may give you an idea about what is the place is about and also how to save us from scammers.

Also there are set of rules which we should follow to stay in this forum. We all should know knowledge is more important than making few cents through bounties so just get started and sooner it may change your life completely.

The most important life lesson we will ever learn will be from the bad decisions we make. Understand what you did wrong and make sure that you do not do it again. But it is much wiser also to learn from other people's mistake so you can avoid the negative feeling and suffer the consequences. With regards to this forum rules, as long as you are not plagiarise and be good to anyone here, you will be okay.

[Anguwa]

I'll put this topics in a context that really matters and not focused on the affairs of the forum, When  it comes to the life lessons of the market then learning from others has to be the only way to avoid been hurt. Time and time again we have been told to ignore the get rich quick schemes (which mainly resolve around altcoins) as they're been hyped and usually don't last long but yet the newbies chooses to ignore our advices and continue in their endless search for quick profit which usually end up with them losing then later regretting their actions.

If the newbie coming into the industry will understand how important this advice is, they'll not be going through same mistakes others before them made. There's no doubt your personal experience are needed to become a better investors or trader but you can equally get similar experience from using others experience as your reference instead of waiting for personal experience.

Now on the forum, the rules are very self explanatory, don't engage in activities that'll result to you getting banned or ruined your account and you'll be alright.

Well expressed nothing good comes easy, as we are after getting things done quickly, but this advice is enough for us because " A word is enough for the wise". What you just explained has make me loose so much by engaging in what is temporary made to scam, not knowing that it will fail at last. Thanks for this wonderful advice.

[nurilham]

the good side of this forum is that we can get information that is rarely found in others because here there are many members with their respective experiences and it is quite helpful for beginners where they need more knowledge. but keep in mind that getting failure continuously is not a good thing so as much as possible make experience as the best teacher in learning because we know our own shortcomings. believe in yourself that you can do it and stay positive and calm no matter what the crypto market situation is.

[Pmalek]

The thing about learning from other experiences is that you won't experience the same thing so you cannot feel the same way as that people have experienced, failure should be felt first before we succeed that is why it is way better to learn from your own mistakes, you gain experience and knowledge by that thing.

Are you sure you want to experience all the negative sides of crypto so that you can learn from them? You feel like bleeding, losing money, having your identity stolen, getting hacked, phished, and having your devices destroyed or corrupted by malware? What about pump & dump schemes and pyramid scams. Would you like to be tricked and invest money in those? I would rather not. I prefer reading about them, being cautious, applying security recommendations, and using my common sense to avoid all of the above and more. If I can.

Lol it will be terrible to experience all this as a self mistake, the best to learn is from the stories of others to plan things well to avoid mistake.

Remember that these 'little mistakes' that you mentioned (e.g. plagiarism) is against forum rules. It is posted on the rules on the forum. Whether if someone reads the rules or not, constructive notice is enough for liability to attach to people who violate such rules.

But I do have to agree with you that experience is what separates a newbie from a veteran. Experience teaches you something to absolutely avoid since a person has experienced it personally.

Truth be told, in real life encounter there's no way people won't make their own mistakes. Even when one does nothing and folds one's hands in idleness, one would still be making a mistake of not taking any risk. And the greatest risk in life, they say, is not taking risk at all. I think what everyone should be canvassing here is to minimize one's mistakes but not that one can't make any at all. There's no way that will be possible. In fact, the best way to learn should be from one's mistakes and that's experience that lasts with us.

I got your point brother, we all make mistake, no one is above mistakes or perfect. But learning from others experience or mistakes who lead one to the right part. If everyone should wait to learn from his mistakes first there will be alot of damages. Learning from others mistakes will help to reduce bad occurance

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

There's no way that will be possible. In fact, the best way to learn should be from one's mistakes and that's experience that lasts with us.

That's the best no doubt but is it the smart way? We're in a time when what's best isn't enough anymore, now we have to do what's smart as well. Which is why we have smart devices to doing that for us. Learning from others mistakes will save you both losses and time. You don't have to wait for you to make that mistake when you can easily google it and see how to avoid it.

Do you know some mistake hurts you forever even though you learn from them, Let me illustrate, you get banned for plagiarism on the forum, automatically you're banned forever as anytime you try rejoining the forum with similar details been posted on previous banned account, you get banned but if you had learnt from others making such mistakes of plagiarizing, you'll get same lesson but now be at advantage as you'll still be a member of the forum.

[taufik123]

Learning from our own mistakes and the mistakes of others will be beneficial for our future development. But many newbies are not even aware of their mistakes or never want to know what not to violate in this forum. they are not disciplined enough to read the rules that have been written and have been explained repeatedly.
This forum has many users with different mindsets. Breaking the rules once or twice is common, but if you keep repeating them they never learn.

When I joined the forum some months ago I got to know the forum has strong rules

Forum has some rules to protect the community. But following these rules is not very difficult. Have you ever wondered what would have happened if these rules did not exist? The forum would have been a hangout for scammers. I think newbies should be taught the rules so that they don't give birth to any new experience.

I got your drift quite alright, Brainboss. From the second sentence of where you quoted, I didn't mean we should deliberately go out on our way to make experiences of ours just because we want to learn from the mistakes. No, that isn't what I meant. The point I tried to labour there is that the lesson stays there longer with us if it's from an experience that happens to us than what we have others tell us. Look at it this way, why do you think we all have to read and then have revisions for examinations? It's simple. It's because those things we were taught in schools were the experiences of others which are shared to us on textbooks. Were those things on textbooks directly what happened to us we wouldn't need to bother revising them to remember them, would we? That's just the point I tried to buttress there.

They should and they have to follow it otherwise, they'll face the consequences of committing any mistakes.

I know we sometimes commit mistakes ( I think everyone does) but at least it comes minimal. If we wanted to grow and improve ourselves better to listen to what others saying. It was for the sake of correcting our mistakes and not be going to happen. To follow the rules isn't really hard if we wanted to do so. Honestly, it is really hard to imagine the forum without certain rules to follow, and probably it has nowhere to go. And this is the reason why we still exist up to this time and counting.
