Newbies don’t buy forum account from anyone.

[Oshio-man]

You have said it all and it is very loud for newbies to hear to avoid account purchase because you will lose the funds you use to purchase the account in the future,  the rule in the forum is not against purchasing of accurat but using the two accounts in the same signature campaign is illegal in this forum, but these days  you don't need to use the accounts in the same signature campaign before they will destroy those accounts, I believe this message will really save many newbies not to fall victim because it will cause them what will take them long term before they can recover.

[katanic97]

Here is my thoughts on this.

If you bought an account, make sure it's public, like bring it to the forum and let it be know that the older user decided to let to of the account for you, many will call this stupid but it's a sincere solution to avoid any suspicion.

There is a thread on this forum that is all about sold, hacked or stolen accounts, believe me, once there is a strange log off and log in time there is a target on your account already.

I've also noticed that this forum favours the honest ones, since it allows buying of accounts which I am against for sure, I don't see anything wrong with coming out and said you just bought the account.

People called it stupid, I call it honesty.

I don’t really see why someone would buy an account. If you’re starting out, just start from zero and build it up. The moment someone buys an account, it usually means they want to monetize it through signature campaigns, and if they get caught doing that, they’ll get negative trust and won’t be able to do much with that account anymore.If someone really wants to join the forum, they should just begin from scratch, learn along the way, and progress naturally. Plenty of good members here have already shown that you can rank up pretty fast if you put in the effort.That said, i do agree with you , people definitely respect you more when you’re honest

[Daniel91]

I agree with the OP, buying someone's account on this forum is really not a good idea.
Maybe someone thinks it's a shortcut to achieving quick benefits like participating in paid signature campaigns, but it's very easy to notice a change in the quality of posts, writing style, grammar, etc. and conclude that the account has changed hands.
I was inactive on this forum for about 2 years, due to personal reasons, and I received an offer to sell my account.
I didn't agree of course, not only because of the forum rules but also because of the time and effort I invested in building my reputation on the forum.

[NoDataHosting]

I completely agree with the points made here. Beyond the risk of a negative trust tag, there is a major security and identity risk. Trying to take over an account's reputation is like trying to use someone else's private key ; it just doesn't fit your own signature.

As a new user here myself, I see the value in building from the ground up. If you can't put in the effort to contribute original thoughts to the forum, you probably won't have the discipline to run a secure business or manage crypto safely anyway. Patience is a security feature, not a bug.

[Kelward]

My study about account buying in this forum is that it is like a two edged sword, it allows the buying yet disvourages it at the same time so newbies should be smart enough to understand that it is not favorable to the buyer and sell especially for the buyers. An account seller will collect money and move on but the buyer will face the consequences of buying a readymade account rather than building one because he/she stands a fat chance of being tagged which will dent the account reputation.

It is good for all of us in this forum to educate our friends who wants to become a part of this community that they shouldn't enter through shortcuts by buying a grown account because they want to join joining signature campaigns very fast. They should rather register as newbies and go through the process of growing their accounts by themselves and build their own reputation because this forum as far as I know is about originality.

[Btcdeybodi]

I think those who intend to buy accounts are not newbies in the forum, but rather long-time users who have problems with their old accounts. Those who come for business purposes will definitely build their own accounts, whereas those who buy accounts, I believe, do so for signature campaigns.

Buying of account is being initiated by an existing forum member. I have received a pm in the past from a user who sent me his telegram username so that i can contact him to buy an account but i totally ignored him. Sometimes, those who seek to buy accounts might be shitposters or low quality posters who are unable to earn merits and grow their accounts from newbie rank. There are many risks attached to account buying because you may not know if the original owner committed a crime that has not been discovered such as cheating or maybe the account might be connected to other accounts whom have engaged in scams so if that account is linked, they can receive a negative tag or even a ban.

[EarnOnVictor]

so don’t waste your money by buying account in this forum, grow your account by yourself patiently.

Come to think of it, what's the dignity in buying an account? Someone else's signature? If anyone can build their own accounts from the scratch, I believe anyone without a low self-esteem or self undermining spirit can do it.

Not everyone has that patience to grow from scratch and that desperation triggers buying of accounts. For a newbie or even an old forum user it won't end well at the end. Something will feel odd when the new user starts engaging with the bought account. It's either their posting style sells them off or their impatience to recover back their investment, sometimes linked activities too can even be a sell off. It's best to grow from scratch because nothing beats that. Building from scratch will even expose so much hidden facts about the forum of the original idea is to grow and learn.

Good advice for newbies.

It would be good if newbies can visit this thread of which is old but which is still very important for newbies.

Sales of bitcointalk account must be discouraged

Buying an account is like buying a university degree without going through lectures and examination. A newbie who buys a high ranking account would be shitposting since he lacks the knowledge of Bitcoin or the forum. Newbies should dedicate their time to learn rather than going through shortcuts which might not end up well. High ranking accounts could also be used for scam since they have build reputation on the forum. Selling of account should be highly discouraged because it has more disadvantaged than advantage.

A very good analogy. Buying a Bitcointalk account is like buying a university degree clearly foolish. You're going through it without proper learning and the risks are significant if it's discovered that it's not your diploma. The same goes for btt accounts. Perhaps you could go to the reputation section as there are many examples of purchased accounts that ultimately receive negative tags.

Another example might be buying a social media account with a large following to create content. You work hard to create content but your content doesn't get many views because the purchased followers are usually bots, leaving your account passive because they aren't real people and don't care about the content. However when you build an account from scratch you've indirectly built an organic audience through your content, so any interactions that occur are genuine not bots.

So, it's the same with btt accounts. There's no point in buying a btt account, as it stunts your growth and carries risks. It is better to build your own btt account from scratch it will be more satisfying for you and in the long term it is also safe and does not have high risks as long as you follow the forum rules correctly.

The thing will be like selling a tree with fruits, the buyer who buys the tree will get both the fruit and the tree. But there is also a reverse reaction to this, that is, the person who bought the tree with fruits only knows how to pluck the fruits, if for some reason the tree starts dying, then he will not know how to give the tree new life again. But the person who waited until the fruit is expected from planting the tree knows exactly how to save the tree. Because he planted the tree with his own hands, he will have ignorance in this matter, and there is.

In the case of the Bitcoin forum, as a new user, his thinking power will not match that of a Sabez person. The brains and thinking power of the two of them are not the same. For this, he will come to the public at the beginning. And his value will gradually decrease. DT will easily catch him. And he himself will bring damage to his reputation with that ID. So it's better not to buy someone's ID and ruin the reputation you've built yourself.

I think buying of account might be lucrative 2 - 3 years ago, but I don't think it will be lucrative now again because it seems there are way more accounts in the forum now than it was few years ago.

Just being curious, if your account were to be on sale, how much do you think it will cost?

[Ronsbit]

Buying an account is not advisable because it comes with numerous risks that the buyer would have to face. What if the purchased account has some undertone that is yet to be discovered, and something happens, then boom, investigations begin, and can of worms are unravelled, what will the buyer say to defend themselves? The account is gone, and the money used for the purchase is lost.

Also, the knowledge of the owner of the account and the buyer will never be the same, and at the same level, if a newbie buys an account, it would definitely show in their writing patterns and styles, and also the level of knowledge too would definitely be on display. I have encountered a thread here before where a legendary account acted so suspicious applying for a campaign that is clearly showing CFNP and I did a check on the account I noticed a change in writing pattern and there I knew the account changed ands and I quickly check via bpi.org to confirm and my thoguhs were right as the account chnaged password and email recently before applying for that campaign which had no opening a that moment.
So these are the lapses being observed, and most of such accounts are easily detected, so I would not advise any purchase of accounts.

I'm pretty sure that if what you are saying was useful in case of bought accounts, so many people would have been doing that already, because it would make it easy for everyone buying accounts and then making it public and then roaming freely around the forum, but that isn't the case.

You could be honest about creating alternative accounts and letting everyone know that you have created another account, and that would be fine, but with bought accounts, things won't be the same. I am strongly against and discouraging buying accounts, it means being honest or not is not at all a concern here when you are not into buying account at very first hand, right?

[Fiasem20]

Selling of accounts is highly discouraged on this forum.It’s more better you register an account as a newbie and build up the account yourself.On this forum,you can’t participate with a sold account without being caught even if it takes a long time for you to be noticed,you would still definitely be noticed on a faithful day.Many newbies just want to reap where they didn’t sow,but the principle of life states that you can’t reap where you didn’t sow.Don’t you think DT users on the forum wouldn’t notice when an account change hand?ofcourse it’s obvious that you don’t reason the way the person who sold the account do.

You're right many newbies don't want to work hard they just want to buy account and enjoy, just as you said it will not be long you will be caught, this forum doesn't accept cheating, this forum was built on reputation and the standard must apply by all standards.

Build account and start well, it will take you time and pains, but if you keep it up with consistency you will get to any rank you wish, laziness isn't welcome here, this forum are for the brave ones. It take process to grow and if you want to grow always read the rules and adjust to it, read from your senior and post accordingly.

How can even a beginner think of buying new account in this forum that they know nothing about if they are real newbies or real beginners?

I think only active members who are greedy and want to participate in signature campaigns with more than one account will think of buying an active forum account, but for newbies, I don’t think they can even handle an existing ranked account because they will have limited knowledge and will have no clue on how to go about the forum which will expose them and they will lose the account. Therefore, it is better to take your time, rank an account yourself after learning and understanding the forum instead of buying an existing account that will lead them into problems.

True everyone has the capacity to build their account from scratch it’s just a matter of time and determination, and another thing is that if you are coming to this forum and all your intention, and the reason why you’re coming to the forum is just to make money from campaign and order contest then you will find it very hard and difficult to build your account, but if you are investing in bitcoin and you are here to learn more and also contribute you will find it very easy to grow, you won’t even see the time it’s taken as a big deal because you really don’t care about the benefits you are just doing what you love.

If someone wants to buy a Bitcointalk account, we can already see that they don't want to go through the process, they don't want to be tired, they're lazy and they want things to happen instantly. Of course, people with this type of character can be said to have a weak mentality or an instant mindset. People who are accustomed to wanting everything quickly tend to be impatient, give up easily, are not resilient and are prone to frustration especially if the DT forum catches them. Even worse this character trait will impact their trading and investments if it becomes a habit.

So, it's best to avoid buying a Bitcointalk account. After all creating a Bitcointalk account is free, so don't be tempted to buy one. Starting from scratch and continuing to learn while building a better account reputation will actually make you more satisfied because the results are your own, not someone else's. Not only will you gain satisfaction, but you will also gain knowledge about trading and investing and broaden your horizons. The bottom line is everything you do in this world requires a process especially in this forum. So, enjoy the process and you'll grow. If you're serious about learning and keep learning, perhaps one day you'll become a member with a good reputation and be of benefit to others.

[Hazink]

The forum is being moderated and does not appear as other social media platforms we randomly use, buying of account may not go against the rules here as well, but it is not something found worthy of us to do, because it shows an act of dishonesty in making claim over what does not belong to you despite buying it, but you cant come publicly to announce same, its even more better to have alt than to buy account.

If not for people who are looking for a fast way to bypass the step-by-step of ranking up, I don't see why someone needs to buy an account, even if it's for business purposes. The forum also made provision for Copper membership which gives business owners the chance to have the privileged or a member rank upload image and do other things, even with the warning being sound all the time started from last year cases of account buying still keep on reappearing.

[Somegory]

I remember when I started posting newly on this forum someone PM me and was trying to bring me to a discussion of account buying and when I noticed he was trying to lead me to such discussion I stopped discussing with him and I know some newbies back then or now have had same experience and may have even fallen victim, I don't support account buying also in this forum, just imagine a trusted legendary member decides to sell his account to someone who is a scammer believe me he will use the account to scam so many people, so this is one of the reasons I don't support account buying.
OP you did well by creating this thread, newbies should read and be informed, they should understand they will surely be caught if they get involved in account buying and again it will be better that rule concerning account buying and selling should be reviewed and changed.

Someone PMed me too about some accounts and I don't want to expose them that's why I don't say anything, the account they used isn't a newbie or Jr member rank, it's a high rank account but what's the gain if I expose them? My yes is yes and no is no.

I don't see any good reason why I should buy an account and start using it, when I can focus on a brand new account and make good use of it, the forum permits more than one account, but signature campaign don't.

You can tell if an account belongs to the same person who created it in the first place, typing on here always leave behind some traces, also a beginner can remain a beginner if they buy a high rank account, because so far they have learnt nothing.
