I joined bitcointalk.org to learn more about the industry, connect with like-minded individuals, and to share my own knowledge and experiences. I look forward to participating in meaningful discussions and contributing to the community in any way I can.
You are among the right bunch of people, but there are also a bunch of scammers and spammers around. Your first task is knowing how to filter through the bunch of spam and find actual content which would benefit your Bitcoin journey.
One way is to filter based on rank, but this doesn't always work as high ranked members could be spammers and newbies could provide helpful discussions. But filtering by earned merit could work as well. You can also just read content and verify them yourself before internalizing anything. This works with the Bitcoin ideology of verifying and not trusting.
Read through posted links. The forum has a repertoire of information, you only need to discover them.
The search option would be useful in this task.
Good luck on the forum!
