After watching a lot of threads, I think we specially the newbies should have clear idea about bitcointalk.org, that's why I'm trying to pointing out those which may change your mindset and help you to be an asset of the forum.
A common issue on the forum is "merit and rank up".Most of us are too disappointed with the new merit system because it seems too hard (though it is not hard enough)
An example-
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4104852.0So, what is bitcointalk?It is a forum, we all know. And what it means actually?
a meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.
It's a place where we can share our ideas. We can have discussion on some specific subject.
So, being a member of bitcointalk indicates that you have joined here for having some knowledge about cryptocurrency.
Are we really doing that? Most of us are here for having a
"Passive Income"I was new here on bitcointalk in december 2017 after a friend told me to register. All was going well I was reading a lot in this forum and I had my activity points and was a Junior member. I earned 5$ a week because of my signature but I think in January they begun with this merit system and suddenly my account could not get no upgrade anymore. But if this is not worse enough there are "scam hunters" they accused me with cheating, trading merits, alt account and posting only shit.
They screwed me because these people are working together and accusing other people with scam but they do the most biggest scams on this forum. Because they are trading crossly merits with each other they have much power and much merits, the only thing they want to do is not to share the money they can earn.
Now I am only once in a month maybe on this forum because I do not like this kind of shit, and accuses, it is really sad and I hope this forum will not lose all his popularity because of this kind of people who think they are smart because they have the power and earned much easy points before and now are trading themself with merits
It is an example only, there are a lot of threads related to it.
You are joining a forum for earning only? Make sense? You don't actually deserve a place here on the forum.
We need to change our mindset, we should take bitcointalk as a place of gathering knowledge, sharing your views, not a place of earning only.
Thanks
People's first motive why they join bitcoin is to earn money. They don't came here to learn. Let's face it. But as they go along the way, they began to learn more and they acquire knowledge pertaining to bitcoin. They also learn how to improve their english skills as it is needed here. They keep on exploring and studying about bitcoin so they can relate it to the forum. With regards to changing mindset, it is their choice. They have their own perspective and priority. For me, it goes together. You learn at the same time you earn.
