YOU ARE LUCKY TO BE IN THIS FORUM

[adultcrypto]

According to African Proverb, those who have food does not know how to sit and eat... said by dog.  The next time you see a dog eat, you will understand this proverb better. Now back to the topic.

I consider it a huge privilege to have found this forum considering how much I have learnt within a short time of me being active here. I registered 2021 but never paid attention to this forum as I didn't see the need because I was doing short-term trading of bitcoin only thinking that is all there was to this amazing technology. Little did I know that this forum holds the answer and all information one can possibly need in regards to bitcoin and cryptocurrency; ranging from how to buy, different investment approaches,  storage, mining as well as other interesting things. Indeed, a lot of information have been revealed in various sections of this forum, and they are all available for free. In addition, members of this forum are ever willing and ready to answer any question, irrespective of how funny it may sound... they do this with joy and all you need is just ask.

The hot topic now is the Bitcoin dip in price. While a lot of people will be panicking, those in this forum understand what is going on as it is not something new. Consequently, a lot of topic have been raised so far,  all suggesting that instead of panicking,  we should buy the dip and hold... because a lot of activities are lined up that is expected to make Bitcoin see a new all time high (ATH) between 2024 to 2025. I suggest you do your research about this to see how you can take advantage of that opportunity.

I highly respected the proverb you quoted as I have a dog and can relate to what you meant. Coming back to your topic, if you are into Bitcoin then the forum is the best resource and discussion platform. You don't need to visit any other website as we have different boards where we can find our answers get clarification to our doubts & discuss on various topic. As per the current price of Bitcoin I think rather having a panic attack we need to create a buying position on every dip. These buying position might give us good returns after halving. I am confident that after halving we would see a new ATH or multiple ATH like the last time

I'm glad to be in this forum because I have gained more knowledge about Bitcoin since I started exploring this forum. My crypto mentor told me that only whales can invest in Bitcoin, and I also see reason with him. I imagine how will I invest $50 in Bitcoin and make a good profit from it, but this forum has changed my thought on Bitcoin that it is not too late to invest in Bitcoin. What I just need to do is to buy Bitcoin and hold at a price that if it dumps will not affect my holding that much because a new all-time high is coming.

I'll be honest, I'm a bit fed up with this kind of posts that are a blatant attempt to get merit.

Change your mentor, then. And your thinking.

I hope the forum teaches you more than that. You still have time, just like the OP.

You are not forced to give merits... if the post does not meet your standard, kindly ignore and move on. Post like this can actually make  Some persons gain some form of motivation to make judicious use of the forum and the resources available. By the way, is there any crime if someone post to gain merit? Besides, this is beginner's section, so you should not expect too much of classical posts from here... if you are very advanced in the forum, there is a section called serious discussion.
Just free your mind and do have a wonderful day ahead.

[Cuenta Alternativa]

By the way, is there any crime if someone post to gain merit?

No, it's no crime, and I think deep down when we post on this forum, we all like to be given merits, but I'm sick of seeing OPs saying things like:

1. I bought X amount of bitcoin and it has changed my life.
2. I convinced my grandfather/my friend/my neighbour to buy bitcoin and it has changed his life.
3. The merit system is wonderful and has made me a lot of progress.
4. This forum is wonderful.
5. <...>

Things like this, which are repeated every day on the forum, and which in many cases are simply made-up stories to gain merit. I'm not saying that you are not sincere, but there is a pattern that repeats itself too much on the forum and I'm sick of it.

Yes, I'm looking forward to gaining more knowledge about Bitcoin in this forum.

[EFS]

That's right. Without this forum, my perspective on Bitcoin would've been like an ordinary person on the street. I can say that my biggest advantage is to discover this place in the earliest period. When I look at the people around me, their perspective on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is very different than users of this forum.
There are many people who see Bitcoin only as a get-rich quick scheme or think like only gambling or the stock market. Not many people look at the technological side of things. If they had researched this, they would've adjusted their investment preferences according to that.

[cryptoaddictchie]

Got a point. Without this forum I probably knew bitcoin and crypto as a simple investment like normal stock on the market. But with the things Ive learned here and earned through different methods are undeniably the best experience for me related to crypto. Youll learn things on your own and youll remember that its not easy at first but now when someone talking about it youll just smile and nod that hey I know what their talking about.

[NeuroticFish]

I'll be honest, I'm a bit fed up with this kind of posts that are a blatant attempt to get merit.

I had a short moment of thinking whether I should merit or not.. and I decided to not merit.
However, while I do agree with you on merit fishing threads, we also need this kind of "this forum is really good" ones too.

My crypto mentor told me that only whales can invest in Bitcoin, and I also see reason with him.

Change your mentor, then. And your thinking.

I think that he should just fire his mentor and not get another.
Mentors are human and humans can make mistakes or just be greedy (charge, but not know what they're talking about or simply scam).

A change in thinking plus a good reading (and asking questions too, publicly) should do much more than any mentor.

I imagine how will I invest $50 in Bitcoin and make a good profit from it, but this forum has changed my thought on Bitcoin that it is not too late to invest in Bitcoin. What I just need to do is to buy Bitcoin and hold at a price that if it dumps will not affect my holding that much because a new all-time high is coming.

You are on a good/better path, but you are only "touching the surface". You should go farther, especially with the knowledge. Then you can also decide better for your investments.

[Woodie]

This proverb doesn't make any sense at all!! Any reference to this will be highly appreciated 

I consider it a huge privilege to have found this forum considering how much I have learnt within a short time of me being active here.

Tbh feels more like people of the same interest having a social hub to talk about cryptocurrencies and the alike...and am certain even if we hit the reset button I would still find the bitcointalk forum the same way I found it several years ago.

I registered 2021 but never paid attention to this forum as I didn't see the need because I was doing short-term trading of bitcoin only thinking that is all there was to this amazing technology.

Maybe you had this picture that the forum was limited to trading when intact its a whole marketplace with all sorts of trades and skills.

[Beparanf]

The hot topic now is the Bitcoin dip in price. While a lot of people will be panicking, those in this forum understand what is going on as it is not something new.

Not all in the forum will understand that this dip is not new or else there will be new post for every dip on crypto market. The advantage of being in the bitcoin forum is you can discuss and gain encouragement to each other to keep holding unlike those Bitcoin holders that using twitter to discuss and use as source of knowledge since twitter is full of bullshit fud from influencers.

I don’t buy during panic sell but rather I wait for the price to calm then purchase slowly to make sure that you will not purchase a falling knife. You are considered as panicking if you are buying during the actual sell off. Just watch and wait for the calm before you enter.

[Mate2237]

First of all, the capitalization of your topic is not necessarily needed, before I registered to the forum those are some of the information given to me by the person who introduced me to the forum. So I am very much careful about it. Your Proverb too is strange because those who have food to eat always know how to eat and that is called table manner. They can maintain table manner so I don't know where that of yours come from. Yes forum has all the information about bitcoin so it is easy to learn from here.

Yes the dip is the trending post in the forum and while some are angry of the dip others are happy for the dip so in all time bitcoin is favorable to people.

They are wise words passed down from many generations... no one know who the author is. Just like Chinese also have their proverbs that is not credited to any particular individual but to the Chinese culture in general.  Just meditate on the content of the statement and appreciate the wisdom of old.

I am glad you understood the very essence of my post.  It is actually intended to encourage  other users of this forum, especially the new guys, to take the resources of this forum seriously.

Assuming I paid good attention to this forum when I created my account in 2022, by now I would have built my Bitcoin portfolio to something magnificent using DCA that I learnt recently. Now I am struggling to build it amidst economic recession, demands from family and limited resources. There were days I made good profits when I was day trading Bitcoin, if I had known what I know now, a good percentage of those money would have been used for buying Bitcoin for long term instead of allowing the money deplete during bad trading days.
There are even other trading techniques I learnt from this forum which are useful. I will not forget the knowledge I got about bitcoin wallets and how to store my bitcoin because I was storing in exchanges before.

First of all, the capitalization of your topic is not necessarily needed, before I registered to the forum those are some of the information given to me by the person who introduced me to the forum. So I am very much careful about it.

Thank you for correction, it is well noted and appreciated. Gradually I will have a hang of it.

In some parts of Africa, you have to think or reason to get the interpretation of a proverb because the speaker is not mandated by tradition to explain the meaning. To me, the proverb simply means that some people don't know how to use opportunity because they don't know that it is a privilege to have one. A dog is privileged to have food but he can't sit to eat.

I knew nothing about Bitcoin before I joined this forum. It will not be out of place to say that my journey in the Bitcoin ecosystem started in this forum and I have never regretted it. Bitcoin is a remarkable currency and investment and the forum has influenced me positively in different areas.

[Coyster]

Little did I know that this forum holds the answer and all information one can possibly need in regards to bitcoin and cryptocurrency

That's why it is the most informative Bitcoin forum out there, even though your thread might be redundant, your points are correct, without this forum quite a lot of people would have lost their interest in Bitcoin and so many others would have lost the Bitcoins that they managed to acquire, overall, anyone interested has to be here to share their knowledge and garner from other users.

The hot topic now is the Bitcoin dip in price. While a lot of people will be panicking, those in this forum understand what is going on as it is not something new.

Not every user in the forum actually, there are some users here who panic quite a lot and spread fud, but i am pretty sure the older users who have been here for a longer time and have seen this happen in other cycles would definitely be calm and would be accumulating more right now.

[nakamura12]

I wouldn't say I am lucky to be in this forum because anyone can register an account here and it's up to you if you create an account or not. Either way, no matter what I did when I didn't know about the forum but I would get introduced to it by my brother-in-law to this forum and I wouldn't say I am lucky but I am thankful for it that I became a forum member. Some people didn't get introduced to Bitcointalk. Some people found this forum on their own but you can say I am lucky too but In my opinion, I wouldn't say I am lucky since most of the time, I have bad luck or get in trouble situations. As others have said, yiu hav to ebllbe resourceful or find other means of learning cryptocurrency and there's other websites too where you can learn but you can never find forum as good as this. I am very thankful of it. The reason why I said I am not lucky because some people are destined to know it and I am also not saying I am destined to know this forum or maybe I am lucky to be in this forum. You do gave a point there and there's no denying it just like others have said you have a point there. We do have our different opinions.

[Distinctin]

Precisely. Everyone gets lucky upon knowing this forum, especially if you stayed on the forum for years and maximize your crypto learning. Without this, I guess until now I would still be a fan of fiat and would also think the same majority people believe that bitcoin is a big scam and would never do anything good with our finances. But thankfully, I chose to stay in this forum and now my knowledge and skills have even lead me to its great advantage, that is finding profits through my crypto investments as well participating signature campaigns that are giving us good compensation.

[lousie9]

Indeed, a lot of information have been revealed in various sections of this forum, and they are all available for free. In addition, members of this forum are ever willing and ready to answer any question, irrespective of how funny it may sound... they do this with joy and all you need is just ask.

You're right and it's true that I think this forum is complete and perfect for beginners who want to get to know better and more about the world of cryptocurrency, in this forum beginners can not only add to the number of references they read about trading, how to invest and basic knowledge about other crypto which is more detailed, not only that but all of us are not just passive readers but we can also be active to take part in various kinds of discussions and ask what we don't understand and it's true that all of this is obtained for free.
I think this forum is a very efficient educational medium for educating someone so they are literate about developments around crypto, besides that what I like about this forum is that it allows us to find out the latest crypto news around the world. Even if we can contribute actively and follow the rules here and meet several conditions then we can also get additional income from various services in this forum.
