Hello Everyone, suboz here!

So i recently bought my first bitcoin and first 10 ethereum when a friend told me about the dip. Seems like a good time to get in the crypto market. Cool

So after google some bitcoin stuff and trying to learn and I found this website, and it seemed like a match made in heaven!

I wanted some investment tips and also wanted to find a place where there are an assortment of new projects and cool people to talk too, but after making my first post and heading over to bitcoin discussion, I found a lot of trash to be honest...

First thread I found was this - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3040159.0 (Why are you investing in Bitcoin?) and I ready to read a couple hundred cool stories of how people got into BTC but instead basically read 10 mins worth of like bot answers...

Half of the 50 pages where just people saying this in different words

The main reason I invest into bitcoin because I'm sure that someday bitcoin will be used more people, it certainly gives a positive hope for us so with invest now then we will be successful and rich in few years.

So much spam! What's being done about it?

Sorry if i'm too harsh, just really like the forum!

Lol, your post is hilarious because I felt the same way when I first got into crypto and found this site.
But that was over a year ago.
I have seen this site turn into a crazy botfest with fud and shills aplenty...all in a year!

It is getting, a little better, but just a little.
The whole merit thing is supposed to help, and I guess it is, but the days of helpful, quality discussions are kind of gone.
Try posting something interesting or relevant, you will get hundreds of one sentence replies.
Not sure if it will get better either to be honest.

So, now I just use bitcointalk as kind of like wikipedia.
I just use it as a source to find info to go do the real research.
Like for ICOs, I typically just go to the ann threads and use it as a resource to go to their website or whitepaper where the real work begins.
Trying to ask people what they think of a project?
Haha, yeah, good luck getting real reliable responses.
