I am talking from experience because I have refer people to this forum and today they are no more active, I blamed myself for even wasting my time, I judge them wrongly, thinking they have same vision as mine.
It seems they did it all for quick money and Bitcoin isn't such.
But do you know that a person might no longer be active on this forum and yet be an active Bitcoin investor who uses it frequently? Do you know that??. So you comparing the people you once invited to this forum and left with O.P who is literally what are the first step required as a beginner in Bitcoin investment doesn't rhyme at all. Because it is very possible that the O.P of this thread might just decide not to be active on this forum after learning all he needs to invest securely in Bitcoin and then start investing massively with Bitcoin off the forum. And in such situation, you definitely can't call the person a failure simply because he/she doesn't continue with the forum. Because inasmuch as they continue investing in Bitcoin, hold it for long term. That's the most important thing. Because not everybody can have the patience of growing account here. Some might be good at trading future, spot and arbitrage.
