Do I stand a chance here?

[Anayochukwu]

 greetings to you guys, I registered few days ago and I have took my time to go through boards that the names sounds familiar and easy to pronounce like economics, meta, Bitcoin discussion and beginners and help. Beginners and help especially meta has all the information I need as a newbie (I'm not lazy and I love exploring too) so I'm not here to stress anyone with numerous questions but as a newbie I still need words of encouragement. I have seen that some members in the forum are in hero and legendary level and my question is;

 those members in hero and legendary level were they newbies before? How are they so knowledgeable about Bitcoin and everything that revolves around it? With my little knowledge about Bitcoin, do I stand a chance here? Because everyone seems to know so much about Bitcoin and I'm still a learner. I want to be knowledgeable about Bitcoin and I'm open to every instructions and advice from you guys.

Thank you y'all.

I haven't stayed long here but from my experience so far forum members here are good at answering questions they have helped me answer some Bitcoin question that I didn't understand.
I'm still trying my best to learn more technical things on the forum hopefully someday I'll be also answering questions for newbies on the forum.

You register a new forum account, you're a forum newbie. You can be a Bitcoin expert before you register an account or the opposite, doesn't matter, you're still a forum newbie. ("You" in a broader sense...)

Of course, as an "expert" with knowledge to share and helping others and being able to contribute merit worthy posts, posts that add value to the forum, those with knowledge and ability to write nicely will rank up likely faster.

I was of course once a forum newbie, too, and learned about Bitcoin around 2011 with way less knowledge about it back then. My current account is far younger, though, nothing wrong with reading silently for a long time.  

My main focus in this forum was to read and share interesting things about Bitcoin, to learn and to share knowledge once learned. If you focus too much on ranks, you're gonna likely have a hard time and less fun here.

For a start to learn more about Bitcoin, hop to https://learnmeabitcoin.com and work through Beginners and later Technical sections. There is a lot to learn on that site if you want. I visit this site even after years regularly and to refresh memory and details.

Books like "Mastering Bitcoin", available on Github, are another source if you prefer that. I don't give you a link, try to find it yourself, it hones searching skills.

Also practice to search things in this forum either by Search or by using the marvelous external site https://ninjastic.space.

Take your time and enjoy reading interesting topics in this forum. There are a lot of them (sometimes a lot of garbage, too).

Everyone started as a newbie when they sign up to this forum no matter who you are but with time we all rank up to our current position.

those members in hero and legendary level were they newbies before? How are they so knowledgeable about Bitcoin and everything that revolves around it? With my little knowledge about Bitcoin, do I stand a chance here? Because everyone seems to know so much about Bitcoin and I'm still a learner. I want to be knowledgeable about Bitcoin and I'm open to every instructions and advice from you guys.

In as much as some joined the forum already having broad knowledge about bitcoin, many joined the forum as a total newbie having no actual knowledge about Bitcoin but their willingness to learn and know the truth made them who they are now. With Cricktor instruction you are good to go in your learning in the right track

the forum's purpose is to discuss topics, exchange information, etc..., if you have little knowledge about Bitcoin, then read and join the discussion. people here could care less if you had little knowledge about Bitcoin when you joined the forum. if you have questions, then ask, I am certain forum members will be more than willing to answer questions that you might have.

That's right, everyone started from your rank, and over time, they rose in rank thanks to their constructive contributions and gained the necessary experience. Whatever the member's rank is, it is not a definitive measure of his expertise and high knowledge. Everyone here tries to benefit others with what they know and also seeks to increase their knowledge and benefit from other members' discussions with their diverse experiences, ideas, and ranks.

Your little knowledge is not a problem; we all started learning and continue to learn. With your effort and constant attention to important topics to understand the basics, Glossary, various discussions, and reliable sources for books, courses, and academies to increase your knowledge in Bitcoin, your expertise and knowledge will grow over time.

those members in hero and legendary level were they newbies before?

Short answer: Yes

Slightly longer answer is that there was a merit airdrop in 2018, users who joined before the merit system were giving merits commensurate to their rank at the time. Before merits you only need activity to reach any rank. There were still very knowledgeable members before the merit system and many of them have gone on to earn legenday rank (i.e 1000 merits) several times over.
Those who have not been able to earn more merits since the airdrop are probably not hanging around anymore.

How are they so knowledgeable about Bitcoin and everything that revolves around it? With my little knowledge about Bitcoin, do I stand a chance here? Because everyone seems to know so much about Bitcoin and I'm still a learner. I want to be knowledgeable about Bitcoin and I'm open to every instructions and advice from you guys.

Many of the knowledgeable members learnt most of what they know from this forum, bitcoinstackexchange, Reddit and other useful websites. You stand a big chance to gain knowledge if you put in the effort and understand that it takes time. Don't focus on earning merits but how to learn and apply more Bitcoin knowledge. You'll also pick up good financial advice from this forum.
Read, engage and read some more.

greetings to you guys, I registered few days ago and I have took my time to go through boards that the names sounds familiar and easy to pronounce like economics, meta, Bitcoin discussion and beginners and help. Beginners and help especially meta has all the information I need as a newbie (I'm not lazy and I love exploring too) so I'm not here to stress anyone with numerous questions but as a newbie I still need words of encouragement. I have seen that some members in the forum are in hero and legendary level and my question is;

 those members in hero and legendary level were they newbies before?

If you’re talking about forum ranks, everyone in this forum where once a newbie here and their rank were gradually increased as days pass by through their activeness in the forum, their activity factor and merits. And when you’re asking about knowledge base in the forum; most forum members in high ranks have learnt a lot about bitcoin either from this forum or off the forum, so for them to have gotten to that rank here, it means they’re knowledgeable about bitcoin and didn’t just earn the rank like that.

You could also come across some other ranks that are newbies and know very much about bitcoin, so you shouldn’t only see the members in higher ranks as the best of people that knows about bitcoin, even the lower ranks who are knowledgeable about it before now can be so good in it when interacting here. Since you’re a newbie, just keep learning, you’ll one day be in their shoes and also have something to say when newbies come into the forum and get confused just like you now.

How are they so knowledgeable about Bitcoin and everything that revolves around it? With my little knowledge about Bitcoin, do I stand a chance here? Because everyone seems to know so much about Bitcoin and I'm still a learner. I want to be knowledgeable about Bitcoin and I'm open to every instructions and advice from you guys.

There’s no secret to being a knowledgeable bitcoin person, you just have to be ready to learn again and again in order to perfect your knowledge about it. A lot of people have come far in seeking for knowledge about bitcoin and that’s why they’re so good in it today. It’s a journey you’ve to embark on to be like them and you also have a chance here. Many like you and also myself started off somewhere in this forum to have come far about bitcoin. So take your time and learn to understand what bitcoin is.

This forum can be seen as an educational institution where people come to learn about Bitcoin, altcoins, and other things in life. If you visit the politics section, you will learn how much this is about global politics, culture, religion, and other stuff that is not related to Bitcoin. Just like a conventional school, you need to show that you are qualified to be promoted to the next class before you are promoted. Here, you don't write any exams, but you should be able to contribute to the forum before you can climb the ranks. Your main focus should be to learn and understand Bitcoin and the forum. You need two things to keep climbing the ladder, which are merits and activities. Merits will come if you contribute positively to discussions and your activity will increase if you are a consistent poster. Welcome to the forum.

[Finestream]

Everyone here started from a scratch, so if you are seeing higher rank members, they all have started as newbies, except for those who only buy an account which is already in hero or legendary position.

Now if asked if you still stand a chance here, of course we all have chances to improve ourselves here and eventually make a decent income. Patience and resilience are the keys. Don't rush to making profits, but take your time first in learning the forum well and also learn from the experiences of reputable members, especially those who have already achieved highly significant positions.

These members in Hero and Legendary ranks are here in the forum for some time now; they are members that has contributed a lot to the forum, their positive contributions lead them to their ranks because this forum ranks depends on merits and activity, and merits are reward to quality post and contributions a member gave to the forum, while activity is determine by how active a member is. For any member to have reach the rank of hero and legendary, they have been very active and have contributed to the forum in one way of the other.
They were all newbies before now, and they ranked up this high; you can equally do same as them if you are active and contribute to the forum in positive ways.

Op, everyone here started from some where they didn't become hero and legendary members overnight rather they went through so many  processes, encountered so many challenges and took out time to read and make some researches which they are still doing at this level so they didn't get the rank without working. Your little knowledge on bitcoin gives you an advantage to understand things better here because you are not starting as a newbie to bitcoin so you will have the opportunity to increase your knowledge on bitcoin if you give yourself time to read and research about the things that are frequently discussed here.

You have a good chance to become like the people whom you think knows too much and you can beat them in knowledge if you become intentional to focus on building your knowledge, making ready a habit and research a must you can better in knowledge here because for knowledge on bitcoin I believe this is the best forum you can get a detailed information and explanation on bitcoin.

Welcome to the forum and its great you locate the right board to post your question regarding on each matter puzzled you. But don't focus on rankings since its more better for you to search for knowledge since it will help you in both aspects like ranking up and also get an idea on where you can earn from crypto.

You’re here to learn, aren’t you? So do not apologize for it, learning is a continuous process. Even legendary accounts can learn from other. And yes the hero/legendary accounts you see were once newbie accounts. The forum is structured that way, the only way to increase your rank is by merits and activity. Instead of feeling intimidated by the high ranks, you can learn from them. Read their topics and learn from their experiences.

(I'm not lazy and I love exploring too) so I'm not here to stress anyone with numerous questions [/b

Hey dear, no one acts professional or trying to act an introvert here. We all came as beginners in the forum even those at the topmost ranks today. Although some of us has acquired some extend of Bitcoin knowledges before admitted to the forum.

So, asking questions is an expression of learning and gives chances for clarities so, no one feels disturbed at where someone asks questions pertaining what we are here for so, also ask your questions at your convenience.

If actually you know how authentic the forum is verified and stand for globally, then you will understand that it is best to consult, verify and enquire from this reputable forum at where you are not convinced or where complicated by asking questions.

You are welcome to the bitcointalk forum where you learns, discusses and explore on your Bitcoin journey and also expand with other Cryptocurrencies also engages on personal life, economy and society discussions.
That is just to tell about how versatile the forum could be.

BTC can be invested using DCA strategy, I came to know about it from my friend. My friend advised me about bitcoin by saying that I expect it to be in great demand in the future and to be highly valued all over the world. Like you, I hope the seniors, heroes and legends here are very knowledgeable and have very sound opinions about Bitcoin, so that we newbies will give us a chance, because I am also very curious about Bitcoin and I want to be very knowledgeable about it.
Looking to invest a lot in the future gaining a lot of knowledge about BTC.

Firstly you are welcome to Bitcointalk forum, to answer your questions as regards to your curiosity, surely everyone was once a newbie just like you either before they joined the forum or when they joined the forum, every higher ranked members were once like you, I personally came in to the space with zero knowledge of Bitcoin but today I have been able to have the basics knowledge of Bitcoin with the help of the forum members, and have also grow up to a full member rank, it really pays being active in the forum by asking relevant questions where and when necessary and also learning from other forum members irrespective of their rank, be courageous and never belittle you days of early beginning just as they say that the journey of a thousands miles begins with a step, because i am able to be learning you too can do even better.

First of all you are welcome to this forum, secondly like they said learning is a continues process the more the day goes by that's how people are learning new things from either on Bitcoin or on there investment so nobody is a professional, however you should have it in mind that you are not in any competition with anybody in terms of being knowledgeable here because in everything there is always a process to undergo before getting or acquiring the kind of knowledge you desired, so you don't need to be discouraged because ones upon a time everybody here was like you but through there learning they became very experienced and knowledgeable, so there is no limits to how far you can go but what really matter is the ability to read and learn, however every board on this forum has a good information that would help you a lot, so you can go through them and read.

If you read all these threads, you are already encouraged if you are ready to learn and want to stay here. If you are ready to learn, you will be discouraged by glancing at these threads because of overwhelming feeling.

but as a newbie I still need words of encouragement.

It's up to you and you don't need encouragement from anyone. Encouraged or discouraged, it starts with your reason to join the forum.

those members in hero and legendary level were they newbies before? How are they so knowledgeable about Bitcoin and everything that revolves around it? With my little knowledge about Bitcoin, do I stand a chance here

You said you read a lot but by asking these questions, you shown us that you did not read anything, did not read any pinned thread in Beginners & Help, Meta boards.

If you still want to learn, go there
