1. what helped you blend into this space?

Because there is so much space for what is needed in this room, because it has become a daily profession, I am happy to be in this room.

2. tell us how your journey in cripto has been.

It was really long, many twists and turns of failure occurred, it is certain that in the end it will impress that we have known in crypto, especially bitcoin.

3. what would be your advice to the newbie still trying to figure things out?

Learn, improve skills one more never give up hope.

4. Did you also have the "get rich quick" mindset. I bet it slowed down your learning process.

Having a get-rich-quick scheme then he doesn't care about the process, this is more of a ponzi scheme, there is no quick profitable investment at least you have to go through a multi-year process.

The other question seems to be redundant to me, this one I think this one needs to be elaborated on as no one before asked such a Question. For the bet you lose, I did never venture into the market to get a rich fortnight. In another sense, my motive was money the first as a student just pressing luck in every domain from freelancing to YouTube, Blogging to Airdrop Hunting. Airdrops brought me into the market space from there my journey started and yeah as my motive was to get some bucks it did slow my Learning.

But getting rich is a completely different track as where substantial investment and anticipation of gains, while in my case I was just hunting some part-time cents. In the end, Looking back, I find immense satisfaction in those moments. It was a truly remarkable period in my life

I don't want to limit myself to one question.

1. Accident and the desire to earn a little extra money.

2. Why “has been”? It's only begining. But in fact, it all started with a not at all positive experience and I hope the end will not be so negative.

3. Take your time and be patient.

4. I have no illusions about “get rich quick.” Only laziness and lack of interest can slow down the learning process.

Does this topic really belong in section "Bitcoin Discussion"?

3. what would be your advice to the newbie still trying to figure things out?

Even though you didn’t specify what newbies are trying to figure out, are you talking about this community—the forum that you joined recently or the crypto space completely?

However, as a newbie, what you are supposed to do when you are anywhere new is to read the forum rules and regulations, which are mandatory even in these forums. However, you need to calm down and read everything necessary for you to know on the forum, and you will definitely benefit from it. Don’t rush and rank up; it will be of no use if you rank up without background knowledge of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.You will grow with the knowledge. Don’t hesitate to ask questions about everything you don’t understand. Ask people to help you out.

4. Did you also have the "get rich quick" mindset. I bet it slowed down your learning process.

Although when I heard about bitcoin recently, I was thinking it was a get-rich-quick scheme because of the way people were talking about it in my ends,  when I later discovered the existence of this forum, everything was entirely different, so you can see that it is a gradual process. You need to learn from different sources outside the forum and inside the forum, and that is what will help you. I was asking people around me to know more about bitcoin, even though some of them are aware of it and have knowledge of it, but they don’t know about this forum. I was surprised at how they got to know about bitcoin so much.

1. what helped you blend into this space?

I blended into the cryptosphere because it helped me financially and helped me get some real work done, like doing research. I was always a bright student (Alhamdulillah), so I wanted to do some work that needed research and that would pay me at the same time. Money made me blend into this space.

I am going to reply some other questions too. 

2. tell us how your journey in cripto has been.

My journey in crypto was good and I learned a lot of things, of course, things not were good at the start but after getting some knowledge and experience I came to know more and was able to make some money out of it and I found a good way to keep me busy in something productive and in something that is in hype (trending).

3. what would be your advice to the newbie still trying to figure things out?

Keep trying don't lose hope, Either you have lost some funds due to your dumb mistake then don't give up, gather your energy and try again, but this time don't make dumb mistakes. Try to learn more before doing it practically. Try to listen to everyone but follow your guts only.

4. Did you also have the "get rich quick" mindset. I bet it slowed down your learning process.

Those who have get rich quick mindset. Don't focus on learning or adopting new things, all they need is money and more money. That's why they slow down your learning process. Because the intent is not to learn instead it is to make money. Getting rich quick is the dumbest thing one could do in crypto but unfortunately, every newbie thinks of it as some lucky charm which will take away all of their poverty.

I will advice a newbie to always seek advice from professionals who they've seen to be successful bitcoin investors over the years. They can as well come to the forum and ask questions on things they are not particularly clear about.

They should do well to train themselves with information and education about bitcoin, from YouTube, reading journals and various books and the bitcoin white paper 📜.

They should also learn to stick to a certain investment plan and stick to it and grow little by little within lt, so they can be professional on that angle of cryptocurrency investment.

I'm a financial advisor and have been for close to 20 years now.  I have worked with most all of the major finance companies/banks and I've seen how they operate from within.  The worlds two largest banks (Chase and Bank of America) are corrupt as all sin.  Just take a look at the Chase fraud violation tracker https://violationtracker.goodjobsfirst.org/parent/jpmorgan-chase (nearly 40 BILLION in fraud since the year 2000).  So knowing how corrupt these big banks are, it was a natural lead in to bitcoin, and it's decentralized nature can help fix this , or at least make money better.  I studied bitcoin for an entire year before I ever bought any.  I bought it because I fell in love with the technology...not trying to "get rich quick" by any means.  I wish more people focused on that and less about "profits".  Theymos should ban the word "profits" here on the forum lol.  I'm so sick of that being the majority of peoples "goal" with bitcoin.   It's technically NOT investment, it's digital currency.

To answer the list of questions of @OP

1. Researching and continue updating my knowledge about cryptocurrency especially Bitcoin help me blend into this space.

2.  Its been a mixture of both rough and smooth sailing.  There are times when it is hard to comprehend what lies ahead and there are also times when the market can be easily read.

3.  Don't be greedy and hunt for get quick rich scheme, since it always ends up badly.  Have enough time for learning and keep oneself to be updated.  Diversify not into different cryptocurrency but different types of assets.  Pick Bitcoin as main cryptocurrency investment, it is the safest one in crypto space.

4.  No, I do not have a get rich quick mindset but I do believe in lucky investment.  Investment and learning process are two different thing which can be done simultaneously.  It is the laziness that slows down the learning process.

Initially I never thought that crypto was a quick get rich scheme because all I thought was buying and holding for years before selling so that the price would have gone higher from the actual price reaching like 10× or 20×.

 I always believe that cryptocurrency market is about trading and holding your coin for as long as possible. Enter I finally get i started understanding much things about the market and how everything works. Cryptocurrency will give us discipline and make us not to be too in a haste especially those of us that had been in the market from the beginning.

I read a lot. I watched of Andreas Antonopoulos YouTube videos and also read his book - Mastering Bitcoin.

2. tell us how your journey in cripto has been.

Just like every other new experiences, it has been filled with its own lessons, ups and downs, doubts and fears and more. I am glad I am here and just like bitcoin has been growing stronger since 2009, so have my journey with it been.

3. what would be your advice to the newbie still trying to figure things out?

Be Patient. Get the knowledge first. Once you have the knowledge, you can never be too late here.

4. Did you also have the "get rich quick" mindset. I bet it slowed down your learning process.

Yes. At fist because I needed to escape poverty. I am glad, I was knocked back into reality by his book and videos and I got the proper orientation.

[Marykeller]

2. tell us how your journey in cripto has been.

Fantastic, if I may say, despite the ups and downs that have tested my fate with crypto. I am incredibly grateful for the years I spent learning about crypto since it has given me the exposure and information I needed to become a better investor in Bitcoin and some other altcoins.

3. what would be your advice to the newbie still trying to figure things out?

Invest in bitcoin, and DYOR before investing in any project, avoid any project that promises huge returns of investment, avoid telegram chats, and above all don't invest in a project based on  hype given

4. Did you also have the "get rich quick" mindset. I bet it slowed down your learning process.

I never had that kind of mindset. I have the belief from the onset that crypto investment is never a get-rich-quick. It requires patience to succeed in it.

Sharing experience is always a good thing to do because it helps other to grow and correct their mistakes in the space. When people ask questions like this I used to tell to read fillipone thread and my thread because they are experience writing from the forum to the newbies and anyone who care to improve and have a thick skin. My journey in the crypto ecosystem is not too bad. I am doing well in the industry.

1. I am not sure what you mean by "blend in" or "this space". Are talking about the Bitcointalk community or the Bitcoin community? You should be more detailled with your questioning.

2. My journey in crypto has been fun. Although to be more honest, it was rather a journey into Bitcoin, rather than into crypto. The crypto part came much later and has been sometimes disappointing but sometimes amazing.

3. The advice that I would give to a newbie is to never give up.

4. I used to have a quick-rich ideas and phases but I was mature enough to not follow them through.

1. what helped you blend into this space?

Learning that it's still new and almost none from my place knew it and that made it unique so I did my part of getting into it.

2. tell us how your journey in cripto has been.

It's a long story and it's just like someone else's crypto journey where they've started with nothing and then pushed themselves to accumulate and held Bitcoin for a long time and sold at the right time.

3. what would be your advice to the newbie still trying to figure things out?

Just take your time, it's okay if things aren't moving according to your plans. There's a reason why sometimes things are slowing down and that's for you to adjust. Don't be too pushy to yourselves and invest only what you can until it changes your drive and you want to do more.

4. Did you also have the "get rich quick" mindset. I bet it slowed down your learning process.

Before, sort of. But it has changed when the actual market of Bitcoin shown me that its volatility is enough and much better than having that kind of mindset.
IMHO, this should be on Beginners and Help section.

[Rengga Jati]

1. what helped you blend into this space?

Someone.
At first I worked on writing articles and I wrote articles about crypto for him. And finally I started to understand a little about crypto. Then he also told me about this forum and how it works. Honestly, at that time what was on my mind when I joined here was to be like him, earn a lot of money, not only from this forum but also from crypto trading. But it turns out the journey was not as smooth as I thought.  

2. tell us how your journey in cripto has been.

It's very complete.
There are feelings of happiness on the one hand, there are also feelings of anger, annoyance, regret, sadness, and all kinds of other emotions combined into one. I was in a very low position, and then I was able to get up again, and I did that by sticking with crypto. And in the end I realized that crypto can really help our lives as long as we are really ready and try, and enjoy doing it...
And here I am, I love this journey

1. what helped you blend into this space?

Money matters a lot to everyone, that is what brought me here when I came to know about btc early.

2. tell us how your journey in cripto has been.

Unbeatable, from watching btc go $1000 for the first time, to seeing Mt gox getting hacked, then crypto crackdown and then the pumps and dumps, it had been the best experience we all gathered since we began our journey.

3. what would be your advice to the newbie still trying to figure things out?

There are some reputed members on this forum, try to follow them and learn a lot from them.

4. Did you also have the "get rich quick" mindset. I bet it slowed down your learning process.

Yes I had that mindset, but when I saw 2 cycles of btc pump and dump, I was prepared for the 3rd one and did exactly what I planned and even succeeded.

[Mr.right85]

4. Did you also have the "get rich quick" mindset. I bet it slowed down your learning process.

Uhmmmm, unfortunately no and even with the fact that, it was something common on the lips of many in my early days, on how you could let’s say invest in an altcoin because, that opportunity isn’t very much with bitcoin no more except you’ve got huge funds to pump in and ready to wait the time. With altcoins, you could still get over a thousand of them with just $10 and then you start hoping there would be some huge news or something to pump the price to about 1= $1000.

After having some failures in life, you get to crush the ideas of getting rich suddenly or too quick without seeing the work you could put I place to archive those wins you hope or wish for. That was my case. I wasn’t cool of anything been free. I just know you work and earn from your work and having this quick wealth from an altcoin, though it happens, it wasn’t something I placed hopes on.

 3. what would be your advice to the newbie still trying to figure things out?

based on my experience, there is nothing more effective to figure things out than read many posts in this forum and articles related to it. in the past i only use smartphone to active in this forum and sometimes I realized that usually there are more than 99 tabs that exist in my browser, even the icon is not the number of a "99" anymore, the icon was turn out to become a ninja throwing shuriken, maybe the dev trying to catch my attention by doing it. it was very funny experience for me, but I think keep learning is the best way for newbie.

In crypto basically everyone finds get-rich-quick schemes, and they invest, and we know a lot of people have gotten hooked by investing in Bitcoin. But if you are restless to get rich quick then you will surely have maximum period of losing money, that is why a person should never take a quick step. When a person invests his money with the goal of getting rich, he must have common sense, without knowledge and experience, it is never possible to succeed in the future. That's why first of all you need to get a good understanding about bitcoin and about the market and about cryptocurrency trading then investing will surely make you rich. But we know that it is not possible to get rich quick in crypto but it is a matter of time that's why you have to wait long time after investing and be patient only then you can get rich, by investing in crypto.

Quick answers to all rather than one.

1. what helped you blend into this space?

Knowledge. Similar interests automatically bring and bind the similar minded people together.

2. tell us how your journey in cripto has been

Plenty money came, undeserved. Plenty gone due to wrong decisions. You learn and try to do better next time.

3. what would be your advice to the newbie still trying to figure things out?

If you have interest in crypto, you will naturally stay and figure things up. I don't believe in telling people what to do, progress is natural as long as you have interest in the subject.

4. Did you also have the "get rich quick" mindset. I bet it slowed down your learning process.

I did. At one point, I thought of even selling personal property to invest in cloud mining and live of payouts, I remember the cloud mining site name, it was called, "HashProfit". Thank God, I didn't. Wrong decisions make you learn faster than slow.
