Newbies Learn From Your Senior Colleagues.

[GiftedMAN]

Like every other human endeavor requires mentorship and guidance so is this forum meant to shape your Bitcoin knowledge. And this can be achieved by learning from the senior members of this group(Bitcointalk) that has extensive experience. Coming into a new forum as a newbie sometimes can be challenging particularly when you're confused about the right questions to ask, however, this forum is question friendly and supportive. I advise and encourage my fellow newbies to read through the past and present posts of the senior members of this forum so that they can learn and not make mistakes that will warrant them being banned.

Newbies know This
1) Readers are Leaders: You can not grow if you don't read.
2) Experience Teaches Better: Learn from the experience of your seniors.
3) Information: You get more information about the task ahead of you when you learn from your seniors.

Summary: Success does not come from hard work alone, without good information as a newbie, you will always find the forum difficult.

By the way, just because one’s profile is a newbie rank may not automatically mean that the person behind the account has no clue about cryptocurrencies and vice versa. While learning to read more than one can reply is very important.

Its a mixture, some newbie here are quite knowleagable on the outside of forum and even not newbie on cryptocurrency. Imagine some geniuses knew this forum and decided to make account and share their expertise on blockchain, they could outsmart some legendaries here with that rank. We can noticef that based on the idea and topic they are creating and tricks and solutions they posting here.

Knowledge doesn't equate to rank, In fact having loads of merit stash on one profile doesn't mean the person is superior to you as it can be earned in many ways, remind me of a newbie who mistakenly sent $1k worth of BTC to the forum for purchasing of the copper account, the user opened a thread to seek for remaining change but unfortunately, the Forum admin sent the change to the wrong account and luckily, the user (EZE0010) refunded back the money and for such a bold step, some users rain the account some merits, if that account decides to increase its activity, it can give him a senior rank in due time.
Again, I have seen newbies in legendary rank (from the way they post), Nonce comes to my mind, I learned from this kind of account and those are the kind of accounts with heavy merits and low rank due to their activity. Some newbies are good, very intelligent but not always active.
The summary is that rank is not a requirement to judge knowledge, do your thing and learn from any rank and remember that legendary can also be wrong sometimes. Have a nice day.

In the current system, rank has quite a lot to do with knowledge, another thing is people who got their merits airdropped because they already had a certain rank when the merit system was introduced.

But someone who doesn't know anything, doesn't care about learning and doesn't contribute to the forum, is not going to rise in the ranks.

Another thing is that "knowledge", is a broad concept, and does not mean only technical knowledge of Bitcoin, as n0nce may have, I don't have much technical knowledge and I have managed to reach Hero level.

Rank doesn't have everything to do with knowledge, I said this boldly because I heard that people do buy bitcointalk accounts off others, imagine the buyers are crypto newbies, they will give stupid opinions and ideas.

You are correct by this statement. Some newbie accounts have senior member to Legendary members behind the accounts, by this both forum and Bitcoin knowledge will not be lacking. In the other hand, I have stumbled on a Hero Member who was posting obviously wrong information about bitcoin. I went through the account and discovered the account changed hands.
When I came to the knowledge of this, I began to differential between newbies and genuine newbies.

......

You are completely right and I'm not wrong either. The Forum is not built on just the technical discussions, but that was just my example and a reply to OP, though the merit system has decreased a lot of shitposters, it is not a yardstick measure of seniority(knowledge I mean).
I respect the high-rank accounts, it shows how long a user has been on the forum and how much merit they have earned from contribution and hard work experience, and I have bookmarked some of their profiles in my browser, but we have seen a self-made Legendary answer a question and another Legendary correct what they replied, the mistake could be that the answer isn't up to date or completely out of context, it happens in almost every board, and I'm sure you have corrected some posts throughout your time here.

My motto: I will continue to learn what is important and helpful to the forum regardless of any rank.

Readers are indeed leaders and experience teaches better. One can be reading more often and can never get an answer to what they want to know about rather I’ll advise if you don’t get an answer to what you want to know, it’s better you start a thread by asking questions. You’ll see how indeed friendly this forum is to answer to your questions.

[Dunamisx]

Atimes we do have experienced users in a lower rank just because they just got to discover the forum or have been inactive for some time due to their reasons best known to them though in a rare cases, also we have some junior rank members as well who are extremely sound and fast in learning, but nevertheless, experience is the perfect teacher, and there's no barriers to extent at which learning must occur.

You're absolutely right! Users who look at ranks to relate with people on the forum and lord it over them miss the point. Sometimes I get to feel the harshness of tone with (some) high ranked users while they're addressing comments from those they think they're better off than by virtue of ranks and I feel bad about it. It shouldn't by any means be so.

Imagine some geniuses knew this forum and decided to make account and share their expertise on blockchain, they could outsmart some legendaries here with that rank.

You're in the know. Haven't we been seeing that already? There are a few tech dudes who came on this forum last year when Bitcoin had that surge and they've been providing tech knowledge in that direction.

The basic growth of newbie is the ability of
• Observation
• Understanding
• Research
• Reading
• Correction

So learning from the forum, is same thing of learning from already existing thread from the seniors users over here, the ability for newbies to excel, is to adopt the strategic point above.

Higher rank does not mean one is loaded with knowledge and low rank does not mean that one have low knowledge just as his rank. Nobody knows it all, we can learn things from anybody either high rank or low. What A does not have Mr B have it to offer. But when it comes to experience  I think one with high rank has a lot to be learned from.

[Marvelman]

Many many people in this forum can help you in a much better way than paid books or any certifications, mainly because there are many smart people in this forum and they share information very freely.

The forum is open to all level of beginners from beginners to advanced, it has teachers who teach the basics and then you can decide if you need to go further or not. 

Just don't give up too soon, if you find yourself a bit overwhelmed with the information, stop and take some time to take things in, that's how you learn and if you keep at it, you will find that you will soon be a master!

It totally has a difference if you will compare a genuine newbie to the newbie account that has already knowledgeable on this forum, through these (below), you can determine that it's possible they aren't newbies behind on that account.

• Fastest growing account
• Fastest earning merit
• technically knowledgable on Bitcoin
• Already knows about forum rules

It's totally different when you saw a genuine newbie account, they even have mistakes on making threads.

It is indeed!

Reading is far great than relying on someone although it depends IMO since not everyone is professional what they were doing but if you are lucky enough to have someone who teaches you about crypto then the next part is how good are you for understanding or applying it on the market. And just like what the above said, you can't determine their level of knowledge through ranking since some members may be active on other forum and not this one or they are professional with their job that's but less active on a forum. Lots of factors to determine one so good luck on learning, newbies.

It will be very misleading unfortunately to follow blindly choosing only to learn about bitcoins & crypto from those you see as senior colleagues. What you see can be deceiving especially in forum and in here, there is always something to learn both about bitcoins and generally from everyone, don't underestimate anyone even with their low ranks, the answer to your question may lie with them. Evaluate a user's track record before you subscribe to their information or knowledge, it is not always about ranks... some very high ranking members do not have vast knowledge on all topics, it may so happen to be the specialty of a newbie here.

Newbies can still share some solid information and add value here while in their early days here on forum, This perhaps is the major reason why newbies are allowed to make posts as well when they just join, rather than passing through an observational stage first where they observe how things work here before they are then allowed to begin posting.

Higher rank does not mean one is loaded with knowledge

Believe me, it would've been worse if not for the implementation of the Merit system in 2018. The Pre–Merit years saw a great deal of empty and dumb skull accounts rise through the ranks with activities once the users were able to keep on making posts. Some veteran ranked accounts were shitty in their posts. If it were in today's reality, it's a sure thing those accounts would be stunted.

It's totally different when you saw a genuine newbie account, they even have mistakes on making threads.

This is one giveaways of genuine newbie users besides them not being familiar with forum rules. There's no genuine newbie who will say they took time to peruse the rules here before posting. I deeply doubt if there is any.

There could be a certain internet user out there that knows more about Bitcoin more than us. Rank here does not pertain the knowledge of a certain user. I had seen quite few newbies here with a lot more experience in the technical side of Bitcoin that I was not even knowledgeable of.

Very accurate, as a blockchain development agency we are a newbie here, but we are more than 4 years in the market and have huge experience in the field, and have successfully developed many DeFi projects. Here is also our website to check.
