First of it's good y'all know that here no one is in competition with another. Don't get my topic wrong.
I'll give an instance, when getting into this forum I met a coursemate and he told me quite a lot about this forum and really I've come to realize many great things he said and as well the dangers of not sticking to the rules he briefed me about. Afterwards he gave me the link and I registered. Congratulations to me I am a member of Bitcoin talk forum. I thought it would be so merry all times but I was wrong I seemed to have quickly forgot the things he told me about the forum and I though started with a right foot but missed it along the way but trust menwe have guys watching your every move here if you wanna be a pain in the ass they'll bash you to reasoning well again and I got corrected I'm sure so far I observe rules accordingly.
Something about my coursemate intrigued me and I wanted to know his username on here. But he refused to tell me, for long I've wondered why ? "Does it really matter?" And by and by I see why it's better he didn't tell me. I am growing knowing that he's grown overtime I don't have any form of unnecessary competition with him...it makes me seek his advice and help when I'm in need...I don't have to be jealous whatsoever...and I in a way feel I'm alone and that makes me want to grow and someday if I have the opportunity to bring in anyone I'd love to monitor the person's growth from a distance but not to meddle in the person's business as to bring him or her down in any form if I happen to even know his or her username on here.
Just as seeds are planted in the same land but different locations if a seed is looking for an encouragement inside the soil before it grows that means it will never sprout they all are hidden deep in the soil without any knowledge of another around yet they sprout and just before you know it they'll see each other at the top when they've become trees. So grow up by learning here don't wait to monitor another person's growth by asking for username of the member or whatever before you can grow. If you know anyone here you should look away from the person and build yourself in knowledge. This is very paramount.
Summarily, being anonymous:
-is good and helps everyone grow well by taking down any form of unnecessary competition
-it reduces external fight or confrontation (if you're known the people close to you would want to confront you if you maybe replied negatively to their post )
-it also ensures safety of every member in the forum in the outside world.
-it creates equal opportunity for growth in the forum(this is the major benefit as slated in the topic)
This is my humble thought after many weeks of observation. You can contribute and let me know what's your take on this. I'd be reading your replies to learn more too. If you have negative response please kindly put it in a nice way if possible that I can learn please.
Thank you for the responses I've noted the addition from you guys and I too have learned quite a lot from my post through your insightful replies.
