Actually I can't help but wonder how crypto awareness would have spread if there was no forum like this, though I have not really gain anything financially from this forum yet but the level of crypto knowledge that has been impacting on me on a daily basis is actually helpful, I came to this forum with no idea about crypto and how it works but now I was able to read and learn from this forum and through the experience people in this forum I was able to learn many things, so I always see this forum as a place of learning as such the forum impact you the knowledge to navigate other ways that will help you earn a living through internet.
And the good thing is that through the forum most people were able to earn some money through Campaigns, so tell me what platform would have been more better than this forum?
I no so many persons has other major sources of income aside from this forum while some persons depends on the forum to earn a living, so tell me if there was no forum like this how things would have been for you?, I love learning so I'm always here to learn so please share your knowledge and views.
If you are actually passionate to learn about bitcoin, you will never rely in just a single source. Research as much as you want but learn to consider also if you are learning from a legit source so that what you'll gained are facts and not just fake news.
But we are just lucky to have bitcointalk forum that contained facts and latest updates of bitcoin and in the crypto market that are in stored for us. Without it, learning might be not easier as we are seeing a lot of fake news about bitcoin that are circulating online.
And the good thing about this forum, we are not learning only out from the post of other reliable members but they are also learning from us. This makes the forum more educational and interactive since every idea that is offered is given value and emphasis in the forum.
