Why rush, instead of taking your time to learn about the forum ?

[Nheer]

You will be surprised to know that when I tell them the difference between Binance and the wallet like electrum and why electrum is better than exudos, they laugh at me and start to criticize saying Binance in the market for a long time and they try to convince me saying it's trusted enough to store million dollar worth of crypto because others also using it.

I have even saw that people holding over $100 at Binance and when I tell him "bro, you should use non-custodial wallet". He said "No, thanks". I wish them to bring in a community and teach them these things. But I cannot force them.

The issue with people who believe they are well educated is that, in reality, they have very little knowledge, but they will never accept this since they always believe they are right and no matter how hard you attempt to teach or correct them, they will never learn since they believe what they know is the best.

We wouldn’t have been much different from them if we were not a member of this forum. I myself would have been taken down the drain by a friend who used to be into cryptocurrency. It was during my early days in the forum when i have learned something about crypto and wallets, this friend visited me and saw some crypto apps on my mobile phone and asked if i was into crypto,  I answered “a little “. Ever since then he have been disturbing me with different messages to invest in different coins and he will even claim if I invest i will make double of my investment in a few weeks, i will just laugh and reply okay bro. After carrying out my research I always find out they shitcoins with no future. After sometime I asked him how far about our investment he will reply don’t worry it’s going well. I never invested in any of those coins all thanks to bitcointalk for impacting so much knowledge in me.

If i had not been part of this forum I would have wasted so much money on shitcoins I know nothing about, this forum taught me to always research before investing in anything. To be a part of this forum is a blessing on its own because every knowledge here is useful. Knowledge cannot be forced on anyone, they need to show interest before you can think of teaching it to them but a lot of them are not ready to be taught so all you can do is let them be, after a couple of mistakes they will also learn one way or another, they will learn from their mistakes and those who store coins in custodial wallets will learn when they get hacked or scammed. I don’t pray that for them but i think it is the only way they can learn.

The only reason why people rush into learning the forum because of their greed that push them to enter bitcointalk forum so they can invest or trade later on. They are never concerned actually with the facts and ideas that they can gained from the forum, but they are more concerned on the profits that they can gain from successful trading or investing. Without knowing that everything starts in the forum, if they are not well-knowledgeable and well-skilled on their chosen career, then the rate of being unsuccessful remains high.

This is the reason why we should never rush and take a shortcut to be successful. The forum has a lot of knowledge to share and real-life experiences to learn from, so its a must to start learning the forum well before proceeding into investing or trading, or even participating in signature campaigns.

It is best to take baby steps to be able to fully understand the full context of the forum, and  ask questions when experiencing difficulties in the forum, the forum is a community and we are all here to share ideas and solutions, we work better as a team, of course abiding to the rules and regulations of the forum, would help as well, there are a lot to learn from the forum and lots of great ideas shared within the space with just mere asking the right questions you can achieve success from the forum.

Normally and ideally, before we go in and start something, we have to learn a few things first, especially the basic things that are important and fundamental. So at least even when we are newbies, we already have some insight. That's ideal and normal.

However, what often happens is that there are usually a lot of newbies who only hear about how this forum can make money and in the end they are interested in creating an account and starting posting without studying or at least reading some information first. And they feel that they have to immediately get money from this forum even though they don't yet understand what this forum is and what the mechanisms are in it. And this happens often.

When I first started here, I spent a long time just because I wanted to focus on making money quickly but was too lazy to study. So I actually wasted a lot of time. In the end, again, whoever is in this forum, is obliged to study and read various things in this forum in order to contribute optimally and produce things that meet expectations.

Although this started as a Bitcoin forum, it's worth more than that at the moment because of the addition of the different boards that brings about different discussion. All information that you need can be gotten from the forum which means you can also learn different things on the forum. As a newbie, what you should be more concerned about is learning and not looking for merit to rank up and chase after signature campaign. The campaigns are just a privilege that can be taken from you at anytime so that shouldn't be your focus on the forum. Develop yourself while you're here and aim above the forum because there's more to achieve in the outside world that the forum can help build you for. I always say there's a lot of wisdom to be gotten from the forum and it's left for you to decide if you'll be among those gaining those wisdom or not.

This is the reason why we should never rush and take a shortcut to be successful. The forum has a lot of knowledge to share and real-life experiences to learn from, so its a must to start learning the forum well before proceeding into investing or trading, or even participating in signature campaigns.

Shortcuts deny you the privilege of gaining the knowledge that comes from passing through the process. Shortcuts makes it impossible to teach others how to achieve what you have achieved because you didn't pass through the whole process of achieving success both on and off the forum. Shortcuts can only get you to a point and it leaves you there but those that genuinely pass through the process can go as further as possible. An example is an account that get helps though reviews always ends up not having merits after they get to a specific rank and the help stop coming from the reviewers but that users that was gaining merits on his own, no matter how small will keep getting merits as his keep contribution positively on the forum. I'm not saying account reviews or giveaway threads are bad but there's always a clear different between users that ranked up through those means and the one earning merits on his own.

Whenever a person rushes the process, they tend to fail since it shows poor effort and lack of understanding the fundamentals.

I mean, it is never bad to dream big and to think of earning hundreds of BTCs at the same time. But as for everything, it involves a series of steps/processes that cannot be rushed at the same time. The person has to understand all the basics/fundamentals before they can even start some of the technical terms that are involved.

I have personally seen newbies who specifically joined this forum for signature campaigns and they tend to show perform poorly due to their lack of any understanding on the matter. Like what I mentioned, when you chase for merits, you will gain nothing.

That is why, learn and read respectively. Be inquisitive and be curious- this is not a race but a beautiful journey that can potentially give you profitable returns if you play your cards right.

As a newbie, I mean, in the beginning, I was in too much of a rush to climb the ranks too quickly. for which I was chasing talent but no knowledge. As a result of my lack of sufficient knowledge, I find myself confused in the lot of posts, which can be called "mess." But suddenly some posts came in front of me, which really helped me to read. After reading the post, my misconception was shattered, and I now agree that merit is not everything. not by running after talent but by reading posts to increase my own scope of knowledge, which can be properly applied by reading every board post. Because the community not only discusses Bitcoin but also many important topics that I wouldn't have known if I hadn't spent time in the community. In fact, it takes time to understand something properly. So I am giving myself time on the forum, and I also know that I will not waste this time.

They might feel you were dump but I put it to you that you're not,

To be honest, I felt dumb. Not because I couldn't convince them but because I wanted to help them for free. There is a saying: do not start any debate with illiterate people. There was no point in joining the debate.

Not everyone is the same and I believe there are people out there that would be willing to give you listening ears, all you have to do Is focus on them, and allow the one's who claim to know it all make mistakes, there are chances that they'll still fall back to you begging and paying to know what you would've taught them for free.

True. A guy sent me a private message asking what a good wallet to store Bitcoin and USDT is. Surely, he has seen the point I mentioned in their comment section. But, as you may know, Bitcoin is banned here. So, If anyone asks me If I use Bitcoin or any crypto, I used to say NO. But when people ask for help, sometimes I have to answer them. Now, I am using a fake account to answer them.

   Believe me when I say that every time you spent here in the forum is not a waste rather you’re further giving yourself a better insight about the forum. I’m glad you are able to meet this trend, at least you can learn a thing or two from the thread. When you follow the due process of the forum one day you will see your self in the upper echelon of the forum remember that slow and steady wins the race. No knowledge here is lost cause you can use it anywhere. You are also building your mind by reading every single detail that is on here, some people may see it as stress or ambiguous going through these tiny pieces of information. To me it’s another level of discipline and patience. After all that’s what the forum is all about discipline and patience. These two virtues will see you go far in the forum.
   Don’t give up on learning new things everyday because we learn everyday. Understand the concept of the forum and try and to visit the forum everyday. Try to visit the beginners and help thread more often to further clarify your questions. Never be scared to ask questions I’m sure we have people who are willing to help. The whole point is for us here to work as team.

It's certain that people rush learning the forum because there are a lot of profit opportunities awaits for them in the later part. And they think that they can successfully achieve them without taking their time learning in the forum. And that's their biggest mistake that continue to blind them.

They will only learn their lesson once they stumble in the end. And by that time, they will start learning the forum again hoping they can correct all their mistakes and not committing the same errors again.

Sometimes, rushing up could help in a whole lotta ways.. remember, when you get registered, time begins to tick - peeps are also looking at your activity level and effectiveness... Sometimes you'd ask why? You cannot attest to your efficacy over time in here without posting - Not just posting but, posting valuable documentaries, threads, guidelines and giving solutions to people's problem.. That's exactly where the quote comes in "study to show yourself approved" ... Without much pain, merit will begin to flow in... But what if you don't wanna rush and you begin to relent? name a verdict for yourself then...lol
