We all know the beginning stage is not easy as a newcomer needs to be patient. Atleast he or she should be getting no matter how little some reward for their resources in terms of time and materials.
I joined the forum and all I told some people around me about it, the next question is," how much have u earned", I was absolutely discourage as I remained mute till date.
Take it slow- nothing worth having comes easy, as they say. If you truly want to earn merits, then you should definitely work hard for it.
Remember that the first step is always to know and learn about the fundamentals/basics of cryptocurrencies. You should understand some terms related to it and you should also understand on how it works in the first place. Second, after learning such basics, this comes the part where you start to ask questions. You can also utilize the search bar in this forum in the event that your question had already been answered previously on past threads. Lastly, learning cryptocurrencies is a lifetime venture- you will never get tired of it as your knowledge will expand even more in the near future.
To conclude, enjoy your journey here and take things easy. If everything were easy, then everybody would have done it quickly.
