Yea, that's it. What about you?
It is more important for me to be up to date with what is happening around Bitcoin, and I consider this forum to be perhaps the best source of information, despite the fact that there is a lot of spam and shitposters. It is also a great privilege to earn something and promote something you believe in, but that should never be the primary goal.
^ This. The Bitcointalk forum is a great source of information, and it has a lot of people from different aspects of the Bitcoin community who are willing to share their knowledge with newcomers. In terms of finding information, this is the best place I know of, and I am also looking for any place that I can contribute to to help spread the word. I find this also an effective way to broadcast useful information that may not be covered elsewhere.
The downside of the Bitcointalk forum is that there are a lot of scams and scammers who try to profit from newcomers. The people are not truly trustworthy so I try to remain cautious. I think most people are aware of this and realize that any member of the community who is promoting a scam or scam-like services is not a trustworthy person, and I really hope that people become more aware of this and that the community will grow more mature and wise as time passes.
I do agree that earnings from promoting something on the forum should be an incidental benefit. This is a community and not a business. So, it is important for people to maintain their own credibility and integrity.
