If you were to unlearn something about BTC….

[Pablo-wood]

Have you ever felt having a good knowledge about a certain subject matter on Bitcoin only to start a conversion or thread on the topic and end up discovering the information had lots of mistakes and misconception. How did you really feel about those subject matters and what was your approach towards the observation and correction made by other users on your thread.

While the concept of Bitcoin in general is broad and wide having a good knowledge of certain topic will require constant research and studying some of the concepts will even require experience and user interactivity. Example is the technical aspect of Bitcoin. I will like to discuss this how long do you spend doing research for a particular topic before making your post or do you have a glimpse of the subject matter get a good summary of it and then start a conversation or quality research is done followed by reviews before engaging in  a conversation?

I will like to discuss this how long do you spend doing research for a particular topic before making your post

Most of my research is done on the forum from reading through older discussions on a particular subject, so it's redundant for me to make a thread educating users on that subject matter since it has previously bee discussed here already.

<snip> do you have a glimpse of the subject matter get a good summary of it and then start a conversation or quality research is done followed by reviews before engaging in  a conversation?

No one should be starting a conversation on a subject they do not have a good grasp of. There is so much misconception and wrong information being spread that we should be hesitant to share any knowledge we are not fully certain of.

The forum is not a school project that you have do your homework before joining discussions. That being said, it’s also important to note that if you don’t have knowledge on a subject being discussion, it’s better to scroll and read instead of typing.

You don’t need to know it all, a little knowledge and experience on bitcoin is enough to have an opinion on various subjects relating to the bitcoin ecosystem. Partaking in discussion with other members increases your perspective and is also a way of learning and unlearning concepts. Criticism and corrections are welcome and should not break your spirit, in fact I think you learn more from “harsh” comments, they tend to toughen you up.

To be honest, I do not like being wrong about stuff.  Especially when it is something technical or exact, like with Bitcoin or other complex or technical topics.  I have certainly been in situations when I thought I understood something, only to find out I was wrong or didnt really get it when I tried discussing it or starting a thread.

But its all part of learning though.  When I realize I messed up or someone corrects me, I try to see it as a chance to improve.  I appreciate peoples input and try to acknowledge mistakes and correct them.  But usually I avoid getting into talks about stuff I have no clue about.  Its different from just sharing opinions on general things - if you give bad info to someone's technical question, it can really screw them over.

How did you really feel about those subject matters and what was your approach towards the observation and correction made by other users on your thread.

Is there actually anything to feel when you’re been corrected?

First of all no man is an island of knowledge which means everyone is bound to make errors and since there’s a constant evolution and advancement of technology it will be impossible for you to keep track of things going on and even the current knowledge you have now that’s accurate might later become obsolete and when shared with others it becomes a misconception/ false information.

So whenever I am corrected I always make sure I read more in that topic so as not to make the same mistakes the next time I come across similar discussion and also to correct those that are going to make similar errors like I did, so there’s nothing to be ashamed of or scared of.

The bitcoin ecosystem is ever-dynamic. There are discoveries and developments every day. When researching a topic access mainly current material. There have been times when members use outdated information to create a thread. There is nothing bad if you are corrected when the information is not correct. After all, we are all here to learn. And in the process of learning there will be mistakes and corrections.

It would be wrong to start a discussion with false or outdated information. Members will be attracted to your thread if it is educative. You will only receive corrections and in some cases criticism when you put out a low-quality post filled with wrong facts.

No one should be starting a conversation on a subject they do not have a good grasp of. There is so much misconception and wrong information being spread that we should be hesitant to share any knowledge we are not fully certain of.

However one can start a discussion by asking a question or to seek clarification on a concept. But it is wrong when members want to teach what they have limited knowledge about.

I don't think it's problematic to open a topic with mistakes, wrong or even mis leading informations. Because there will always be more educated people to correct your mistakes. In addition you can send your thread to the archives if you think it is too bad to be read. So people, especially newbies shouldn't hesitate to talk, to ask questions and to expose their issues in order to learn.

[DubemIfedigbo001]

well for me, I do a lot of research before releasing any topic in the forum, reason being that I want them to be very informative, detailed, well-structured and to be considered a quality topic. Of course, sometimes, we tend to omit some things or to get some points wrong, and that is where the well-informed members of the forum come to the rescue. There are still some people who know more than you, who will correct you and also highlight various additional points you must have missed. Others may have been spurred to research on the topic in order to make useful contributions to your thread, all thanks to you. Furthermore, you must have created an avenue for others to learn things that they have not known.
So in these cases, you need not be troubled cos you've done much good to the forum by bringing an opportunity for yourself and others to learn and improve. that's the notion I have anytime I experience such.

Op, remember no man is above mistake sometimes we may get wrong info/misinterpret them while one is corrected he/she should be glad about it, I have been corrected for this sometime and it act makes me get a clearer view of that topic and is not that corrections make one dumb rather its makes one better

It's all depends on how vast you are on that area and what's the scope of your topic.

There's no time limit when it comes to learning bitcoin. Research does not only happen for several hours but you have to research and continue learning everyday not only from your own perspective but also with how the other people have perceived it.  So learning bitcoin is limitless, because you get to learn on your own studies as well as with other people perception about bitcoin. And the moment I understood the topic well, that's when I decide to make a thread not just to ask the other forum members opinions and ideas but to share my own idea as well which I think a lot of people will learn from it.

And if ever my own assumptions are not true and correct based from what others have perceived it, then I'm always open for corrections and better ideas. This forum is not limited for only single idea but there should be vast ideas coming from different members and as long as they are valid, I think that will be a lot better knowing this forum do not tolerate wrong and inaccurate ideas but only facts and legit ideas.

[nakamura12]

It isn't hard to unlearn what you have learned about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency since you may have forgotten then correct information and that will surely result in giving correct information and also wrong information to someone who ask questions and you giving them answers. Well, if you feel that your answer is not right then you should look it up if it's wrong or not and that way you won't spread wrong information.

[FinneysTrueVision]

I try to learn about Bitcoin every day so that I will not make too many mistakes. I read articles throughout the day and when I have time I will read through forum posts and listen to podcasts about Bitcoin. If there is something that I don't understand correctly then I will try to do more research on that topic. There are many things I've become more informed about and many things I have yet to learn so I just continue to absorb knowledge.

[Winterfrost]

There is no topic that a person will feel that they know best or everything about. This is why there is a forum, and it is open for contributions, suggestions, and corrections. Some people create topics because they do not understand much about the subject, so they want others who have more knowledge on it to share their thoughts so they could learn. But before creating a topic, the poster should know what they want to share, and the idea or theme should be clearly communicated to the audience so that they would know where and how they can contribute. You cannot just confuse your readers and expect them to understand what is not clearly shared. It's best to study first, and if you understand what you studied, then you can share it in the forum if it will benefit the members. Also, while studying, if you do not understand some things clearly, you can share it here and specify that you do not understand one or two things. Those who have knowledge about it will help you out and provide the right information for you. These are the two ways I think are best to post a topic here.

I am continuous learner and every time there is something new that I learn, I'm always happy and appreciates the person where I've learned that new thing. And in joining discussions especially the technical stuff, I'm just like a reader and happily absorbing the knowledge that others are sharing and if there's one thing that I am about to share, I take time in doing my research, how long? I don't know but I am allotting time on it and verifies it first before sharing to everyone. It's fine if you're just like having a glimpse of the topic that's new to you and you just want to learn something new again but don't derail threads.

It depends on why you created your thread.

If you created your thread to share knowledge for newbies who don't know about that and to learn more deeply knowledge from others, I am sure you will be very open-minded to correct any wrong knowledge in your thread. I am also sure you will be much appreciated any help from other forum members who help you to understand that issue better and deeper.

If you created that thread to be a spam topic for other newbies, to spam inside it, I am sure you will not care to come back and read posts. So surely you will not mind to correct in any inaccuracy.

If I'm having practical experience of subject, I'd directly write whatever flows through my brain. If I am having incomplete knowledge, I'd search first, would give priority to individual responses from forums/reddit over websites/blogs because they tend to be unbiased until doubts are cleared.

But somehow you really need to do backtracking on old discussion happened so that you can understand those incidents happen from the past since if you only look at the present events then you might miss something more important information that can help us grow. And researching those information takes a lot of time since imagine that you are digging those threads which happen for long years and buried so deep. This is how people relevant to old discussions especially when certain old events has been brought up to link it on same scenarios happen on current time.

People should really accept any criticism and corrections then don't feel bad about it since this can really be a great help to anyone who's starting up to learn something. They should be grateful someone doing that for them since its like those people is teaching you the right thing so that we would not get any wrong information on certain topic been discuss.

[Publictalk792]

I completely understand where you're coming from. It's quite humbling to realize that there's always more to learn, even about topics we consider ourselves well-versed in. When I've found myself in such situations, I've tried to approach it as a learning opportunity. It's important to be open to corrections and new information, as that's how we grow and expand our knowledge.

As for your question, I believe in the importance of thorough research before starting a conversation or thread on a complex topic like Bitcoin. While it's impossible to know every single detail, having a solid understanding of the subject matter is crucial. I usually spend a significant amount of time researching, reviewing, and understanding the topic at hand. However, the time spent can vary depending on the complexity of the topic. It's also important to stay updated as the world of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is rapidly evolving.

In the end, the goal is to foster informed and respectful discussions where everyone can learn and contribute their insights.

Growing up as a newbie, I always loved challenging my self creating new topic that I found pretty informative to the community. Most times I usually had some negative replies from some higher ranked members, but I was never bothered because I was here and ready to learn. The whole idea about creating a topic of discussion, which most newbies now are missing because they probably are after getting merit is that you want to learn from the community. When many people share different idea about a particular discussion, you get to learn from many perspective. This makes you even better than them. That is if you actually read their replies.

While constructing a new post. You should already have your point listed, then you beging to work more on these points which when you put together froms a thread. The time taken to create a thread all depends on the amount of information you want to pass across.

That is why we are on this forum. If I make a mistake or I do not get something rightly and I am corrected, I will appreciate the correction and even send merit to the person that corrected me if I have smerits to send. I am happy to be corrected so that I too will be able to correct anyone that make such a mistake next time.

I have posted some things on this forum before that I researched on very well, but I was corrected sometimes on this forum. There are a lot that are online that are not correct too. But we are going to keep learning by accepting correction.
