In otherwords, if you are lucky enough to scale through the ranks without proportional growth in knowledge of bitcoin then such growth is no good growth at all. A newbie in bitcoin knowledge but an old member by rank you just like a container without a content. So it would be nice of us if we can from time to time take a quiet moment and examine ourselves in relation to the idea behind the forum, ask ourselves necessary questions regarding our timeline with our level of knowledge to the actual purpose of the forum (bitcoin knowledge).
Just as it will be bad for someone who works in a place where they bake not to have any idea about baking, it is also bad to be on a forum about bitcoins and not know anything about it when asked. I want to know more, that is grow in knowledge just as my rank does, and because I have this in mind, I am very intentional about my knowledge and the time I spend on the forum. I read through topics that I know that I may not even be able to drop a comment, but I read through them still because I know that knowledge comes from reading and constant learning. I am more knowledgeable than I was because I devote my time to the commitment of learning. This is what it should be.
