What motivated you to join the forum?

[Nothingtodo]

To be honest I usually come to bitcoin forums mainly for earning purposes. I have heard in the past that there are many ways to make money from bitcoin forums. I mainly joined bitcoin forums to pay for my family and my institutional education. But apart from making money bitcoin forum there are constantly updated millions of new knowledge. It is also compared to a type of news paper.

I joined the Bitcointalk forum primarily to discuss, learn about, and participate in bounty campaign etc.

Participating in bounty programs is the reason for the majority ^{(around 75%)} of people who register accounts on this forum, but as time goes by, finding a bounty program that pays well is very difficult, which makes many members leave.  i myself initially joined this forum to bounty goal but in the end that changed because my insight into bitcoin and altcoins has increased since joining this forum.

After more than 7 months from the last post - you then came and hit this thread again to be at the top. I don't know why you do this - whatever your reasons, it could probably be considered spam if you don't add anything particularly important.

Bobrox was the last poster on this thread - it's been over 7 months since then.

i also just made a post on this topic, this topic has been hidden for a long time, i'm quite surprised why someone has bumped this topic again.

My story is quite simple, I had already been hearing about crypto currency for a while and was eager to know more about it especially more about investing in bitcoin cause after the last bull run and when bitcoin hit 67k many persons from my area had gotten a lot of profit from it and that was my main trigger.

I got into research about it and wanted to know more about bitcoin and specifically how to invest in it, I stumbled into this forum from a search to made that took me here and I saw a lot of other post relating to bitcoin, I created an account and logged it and so it was. I was later introduced to Binance and made my first bitcoin purchase but never had to move it cause little did I know what centralized exchange was not to be trusted, I wasn't able to hold bitcoin and later sold cause I felt the price was too high for me to continue. But after I started following up on the forum I learnt a lot about bitcoin and am still learning.

[Ojinga]

Well I've really want to know more concerning Bitcoin, so a friend of mine introduced to join forum that here I'm going to learn more about anything that concerns Bitcoin. Then I got registered but when I got registered I wasn't that following up it but when I discovered more about forum then i keep focused on here, the sweetest part on here is that you won't only about Bitcoin but you'll know things that's going on all over the global. I wasn't the type that listens or watch News but when I joined forum I've learned more about what's going I my country now, things about the government, society, sports, currency etc. So those are things that motivateded me more on here besides the Bitcoin investment I've gotten more knowledge about it now.

I would say now I know how Bitcoin investment works, more than then that I don't know anything much about it.

I've searched Google about how to invest on Bitcoin there answers was nice but you can't compare it to forum, forum have the ability to show you everything about Bitcoin and it has also helped so many people paying them often. What I love most about forum it's about their updates when the Bitcoin bull run hit higher.

[cryptoWODL]

Everyone may have come here through the help of many people to come to our bitcoin forum, I also came to this forum through a friend of mine. I don't know how anyone is connected and working in this forum but after a lot of patience and waiting I learned to work properly here. The day I joined this forum I was very excited but I didn't understand how to post in different sections and only did bounty work in the beginning. After working on Bounty and gaining experience from there I gradually started posting in the various important sections of this forum. Then I found our Bengali local board where I started posting in my own mind language i.e. my mother tongue. That's when my foray into bitcoin forums proper began.

Originally I was more interested in learning about Bitcoin which remains an interest to this day. I am still trying to get to know the various topics related to Bitcoin well and maybe in the future I will be able to master them even make myself a proper investor.

Why ban the bounty board? The problem is not that this board exists, the problem is that beginners do not allocate their steps correctly. The correct step is to first learn the basics of cryptocurrencies, then try to make money. I'm sure most bounty participants have little to no specialized knowledge and all their skills are mostly centered on smarts, registration and copypasting. Nowadays you don't even need to copypaste, you just need to register with some AI bot and it will generate all sorts of content for the bounty itself, starting from articles and ending with various pictures.

Actually, To me, I don't see anything that would lead to banning of bounty board. When someone refuses to do what he or she is suppose to do, definitely, there will be something wrong somewhere.

Because, like me, I joined the forum purposely to learn more about crypto especially, Bitcoin. Yes I have strong believe that as an individual in 21st century, one should have the knowledge of this kind of things. I mean cryptocurrency knowledge, because it is one of the ways of earning cash these days.

I came here with zero knowledge and wanted to learn more regarding the community, as I keep seeing there's a lot of topics I didn't know and related to because of curiosity. this brings me to another level of understanding how this works and also through help of other members I learn something and of course share at the same time that's the purpose of the community. Just part of the reward is getting paid, I guess, because those are based on your experience. The more you know, the wider the connections and knowledge you can use for your path.

To me, I think the main reason why someone should join the forum, is to make sure he's joining it firstly to acquire knowledge of what is going on in the world pertaining to cryptocurrency activities.

So like you said, i can say i joined the forum with just few or no knowledge about cryptocurrency but right now despite the fact that I am still learning, i can confidently say that I am improving concerning cryptocurrency. In the forum, you have access to different kinds of people with their ideas on various things including cryptocurrency. With this kind of relationship and also the kind of conversation you have in the forum can make you to acquire knowledge that you can not acquire even in the classroom.

If you have time to review the posting history - then try reviewing that user's posting habits. There are two old topics that he deliberately bumped after being submerged for more than 7 months - if you are sharp enough to pay attention to them, then you will definitely know what his motives are.

I then wondered - is this topic still relevant to maintain after 7 months of being drowned out by dozens or hundreds of other topics?
If someone else notices that - I hope they give me the answer, but I know it's relevant to bump some old topic if there's something really constructive to discuss further.

I have already posted about this yesterday. But surprised that the user who bumped the drowned post for many days also bumped some more drowned posts. I don't know why the user is doing this and what is his purpose.

This user quoted a post that was made on June 13, 2023, almost 11 months ago, and he resurfaced it on April 26, 2024.
I'm sharing some links to some of his long ago submerged post bump.

Everyone in this forum have their different and major reason for joining bitcointalk.But Op you didn't mention what motivated you to join bitcointalk.And this post have been repeatedly discussed in this forum.Let's learn to stop repeating posts that have been discussed even if your expressing it in your own opinion,you just have to reply or quote the previous trend similar to your trend.Anyways it is what it is,like you said some people in this board were motivated to join because of the pay from signature campaign, some are here to know more on bitcoin while those that that are having knowledge on bitcoin are here to express their knowledge.Whatever motivation, making money from signature campaign is wrong but learning more and making contribution actively will help to grow before thinking of signature campaign.

[Kristiyana]

What motivates me a lot to join this forum is because I keep seeing people in social media testifying on how they make a huge profit from their investment, often times they keep testifying, then I personally made up my mind to give it a trial. but before I go into making any investment first I will need to have the knowledge, then I ask my friend on where I can learn about cryptocurrency and also how to make investment then he referred me to this platform. I most say that this platform is really amazing, I have been here for few months now and I'm beginning to get familiar with some things, I'm still hoping to learn more.

[Cricktor]

I got interested in Bitcoin to such an extend in early 2011 that I also GPU-mined more than one Bitcoin that I set as a goal for me. I likely visited this forum back then as a guest to dig for information or answers to questions I had.

My first account was registered back in 2013 but this account got locked due to a forum hack and I missed the period to reset my account's password due to inactivity and temporary lack of interest for all around Bitcoin. (Don't care about altcoins or shitcoins in particular.)

I didn't want to jump over all hoops to reactivate my former account^{not clinging to it} and thus registered my current one in March 2021. Regarding the journey from 2011 to 2021 and to present, I'll pay more attention to my current account and made sure to stake necessary data to prove ownership of my account if need arises.

My main goal of participation in this forum is to broaden my knowledge about Bitcoin in particular and crypto coins in general and associated topics of security, self-custody and whatnot. I felt humbled when I was invited to participate in a signature campaign and accepted this new challenge for me. I remember old days when some signatures like those of Chipmixer were seen virtually attached to every post, me being kind of annoyed by that somewhat (perhaps I was a bit envious). The head is round so that opinions can change direction.

Same with mine. I want to be knowledgeable about bitcoin and the crypto space, which leads me to join the forum so I’ll be able to expose to the forum and get involved in it. And when I have acquired sufficient amount of knowledge and experience, that’s when I realized that there are a lot of earning opportunities you can gain from the forum. Aside from investing and trading alone, you can also learn to develop and enhance your crypto skills so you can land a side job that will pay you a high compensation.

[Zanab247]

Yes, there are some who joined this community to scam users in the community, which is a bad idea because the person you scam will never forget what you did to he or she, and the scammer will surely receive courses that will make them not to end well in life.

The thing that motivated me to join this community, is that you can achieve your goal in life which is the major reason that make me to be here, and my eyes has open to see many opportunities but to achieve all those opportunity someone need to be more active in this community to enable to achieve them.

The more I spend more time in the community, the more I learn a new things that will make me to build solid relationships with decentralized currency to achieve my goal in the future, which I'm ready to contribute positive things in the community to last long.

[Perfectbaby]

I want to announce to you that if you are only here because you want to make quick money, then you may mostly likely not make the money and here will be so boring to you because you will reveal that tendency and the OGs will notice you.
Some of the older people can share their experience as regards to how they started, maybe we all can learn somethings too.

In case you don't know almost everyone here came for a purpose which either to gain knowledge to be able to manage their bitcoin investment or to manage their overall investment journey. If you look carefully there are people who are putting up some kind of advertisement codes on their profile I think this is called signature codes, these people are also here for intense to make money.

Let us not forget about the truth and is always better only few people that are here don't remain here for money purpose rather to expand their knowledge to personal wellbeing whichever includes, guiding themselves on external and internal attack, knowing the latest update about bitcoin and something new towards the development of bitcoin.

We can't deny the fact that people are here active because there's always something that is keeping them here and if that is working fine then they have no option to tell their friends of something new here and whenever they comes you would quickly noticed it because they always expressed impatient towards everything they do, even though there are people who are here with genuine yet we can't deny that there being active is for a reward they are gaining from here.

I know Bitcoin from trading, even I know Bitcoin first from the Bitcointalk forum. After that, I was introduced to Bitcointalk by my friend. They say that their Bitcointalk can make a lot of profits. Knowledge of crypto plus bonuses can make money through campaigns. Since then I just tried to register, the most interesting thing about me is that bitcointalk is able to provide additional income even though it is not instant. Maybe not only me, many others have the same orientation. But at the end of the day Bitcointalk is not just a forum to make extra money, there is greater knowledge than just money that we can earn on this forum.

Me too. I already knew Bitcoin because I started trading several months after I quitted my job because I didn't like it. I soon realised that trading was some kind of lottery and I didn't have much money to waste to whales, so I decided that I should better learn about Bitcoin and I found this forum that also allowed me to work in a difficult moment for me. So I have nothing but words of gratitude for Bitcointalk.

I mainly joined bitcoin forums to pay for my family and my institutional education. But apart from making money bitcoin forum there are constantly updated millions of new knowledge. It is also compared to a type of news paper.

For earning purposes? How much you have earned from Bitcoin forums? What jobs you do exactly?
I see you are still in member rank, it is not enough to join signature campaign paid in Bitcoin. If you join the campaign paid in new altcoins, you probably got for cents. So it is quite impossible if you can get enough money for your family or for institutional education.

Of course, improving knowledge is important thing. If we don't do this, we can't adapt with any condition in the forum. We also may have no idea to join discussion in varied topics in this forum.

If you know Bitcoin from trading, you already know Bitcoin before you joined this forum. Is it correct?
What profits that your friend told to you? I guess you friend tells about the profits we can get from joining any campaign in this forum.
In the past, there are many big campaigns that people can earn huge money. Now, it is over already, we only have many small campaigns.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

The major reason why I am here is to become a crypto investor particularly BTC, when I do ready about crypto on social media and some articles display about BTC and checking my source of income I never got a knowledge that many strategies that can even suit in my level of financial income is available for me to be a Bitcoiner, as  there as I always puzzle and considering the ATH of BTC but when I entered the forum the knowledge I got and the more I am learn has shown that I was operating on ignorance on the past over BTC investment. Because of the strategy I learn called DCA, buying the dip and holding for long time.

Well, that was also my motivation at first hearing a lot of members have improved their life’s status. But when I entered the forum, I realized that there’s never easy way to stay profitable with bitcoin. You should have gained maximum knowledge and experience as well if possible so you can achieve your goals in the forum. Thankfully, I was never impatient with knowledge acquisition and apply them in myself until I developed my own skills and strategies in the forum. That’s when I start to earn decent profits, which is my ultimate goal why I joined the forum.

[Sakanwa]

I joined this forum because I wanted to know everything about Crypto trading and investment.My friend told me to join this forum when I discussed with him that I wanted to learn  Crypto.He told me there is no other place I can get valuable information about it than the bitcointalk forum here.I had to heed to his advice and joined the forum,and I can boldly say now that since I joined this forum,I have really gained because I have known more about trading and investment, where as these are what I wouldn't have dreamt of.
