How come people spend days here?

[Davidvictorson]

OP, I m not sure how you would define making a  living but if you say people make a decent amount to the able to afford a few basic needs then I would agree and this is still dependent on which side of the world you are in. Secondly, Bitcoin talk forum is like an encyclopedia of Bitcoin. You'll hardly find anything on bitcoin that is not discussed here. And one of the best ways to broaden your knowledge about Bitcoin is to spend time here.

But one thing I noticed is that many people spend hours upon hours here, like really long hours, which made me think, like how come?

Do you guys make a living commenting and being here or are you really that passionate about web3/ crypto and blockchain?

It depends on each individual because everyone in this forum has different reasons why they feel at home here, some are even willing to spend hours, but if I'm personally honest I spend time here because I want to add insight and deepen my knowledge about cryptocurrencies along with the technology, as for another reason because i am using a paid signature campaign so i have to be prepared to contribute to this forum and make posts with the amount specified in the rules of the signature campaign that i use.

Spending time here is the best thing for me at the moment. rather than having to carry out activities that are not feasible out there, this Forum is better and will provide income in a decent amount according to my ability. We all here certainly have the same goal to earn a few dollars from every comment we make, it's not hypocritical to admit all of that because it will be worth a few contributions. and this Forum is the right place to add knowledge about crypto and some other knowledge, this forum is a complete package that will not be found anywhere.

Although I have been interested and in and out of this forum for a about year now, it is only recently that I decided to get serious and learn and perhaps chat here to get more real insights from people with more experience and knowledge.

I  am curious where you find this fact and know that people are spending hos to hours here commenting in this forum. Probably they are like being in the other forums in which they may sometimes be online here and then offline and then online again. So, it seems that they are always online here. Additionally, we can find so much information here in this forum which will be good for our understanding and information addition for us. We can also have some certain discussions and share here by still having our privacy about who we are in the real world.

Additionally, some people are here also for working, so we may earn money from here. So we also focus on this forum in order to optimize getting the incomes. But, this may not be easy because we also know that we have many competitors here. But I am sure that many people spend their time here also because of the earnings that they may get from any campaigns.

Hey all,

Although I have been interested and in and out of this forum for a about year now, it is only recently that I decided to get serious and learn and perhaps chat here to get more real insights from people with more experience and knowledge.

But one thing I noticed is that many people spend hours upon hours here, like really long hours, which made me think, like how come?

Visiting the forum becomes a daily routine to me for years and I took break very limited time when I stuck with something personal or outage of network a couple of times due to natural calamities.

Web3 isn't my thing to be honest whereas I am so obsessed with crypto in the beginning but for now only with bitcoin cause I understand shitcoin will bring you the loss sooner or later but it will. Few made very big profits even with shitcoins but I am not forcing into that category cause whenever I did things sre just against me and only loss hitting me.

Before I knew this forum, I was very active on facebook typing long articles about contemporary topics, especially politics.
My facebook liked it such that hunger for my contents. But when I was introduced to this place and I go good knowledge of bitcoin and fortunately I joined signature when I got to full member rank and started recieving some Sats.
It was then I became scarce on facebook and I stopped writing those long articles and my online followers started complaining.

That is how I understood that financial motivation via signature campaign is one of the reasons for serious participation here.

Spending a lot of time here is not a big deal because some people spend their time on social media for hours on end, but others spend a lot of time in forums because they want to learn more about crypto. Therefore, spending a lot of time here is not a big deal because in order to fully understand crypto, trading, and other related topics, you need to know a lot before engaging in such activities, and if you look at the people who always engage in such activities, they are the ones who spend the most.

I signed up in 2014 but wasn't very active, mostly spending my time lurking. I became active again in 2017 and became an active member of the forum. Apart from the signature campaigns others have already mentioned, which are a huge bonus in my household, I usually find lurking on the forums soothing and relaxing. Just lurking around threads, reading replies without necessarily replying to any of them. I don't know why, but it just calms my nerves after a long day of work; it clears my mind. How can I explain it? In total, I've spent over 40 days being active here; that's over 960 hours, and I'm guessing older members have spent 10x what I have.

Just as uou believed that we have individuals difference the same way we have different opinions and engagements we got attached to that keeps us busy, been active does not means when your time always read online from your profile but whennyour presence is felt with a quality substance others benefits from, we are all here on different purpose but we must make sure that we don't get distracted from fulfilling them and and to also learn in helping others fulfilling there's while on the forum, be active and let your activeness be felt.

Seems like you only see the forum with those activities because of getting paid through the signature campaign, some of the members here are OG member who sees the potential of the forum related to the cryptocurrency world, and some of them contributes a lot of things just to benefit of everyone most likely to the newbies who would like to join, when I'm start here I don't have knowledge too buy upon visiting other threads and topics I learn from their experiences which benefits to me right now.
