The real essence of labour is the harvest. In relation to the forum, the beginning stage is not easy as a newcomer needs to be patient. Atleast for a newcomer they should be getting no matter how little some reward for their resources in terms of time and materials. The harvest is the benefit (merit).
when I started discussing my activities and involvement in the forum to 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. I was seen as a mentor until they got to realise that no pay until time "proves u worthy".
it is obvious that the essence of coming to this forum is to ensure that we have acquired the knowledge of cryptocurrency especially Bitcoin so those people who think that the essence of coming here is based on to make money those people don't achieve anything from the forum so what you should have in mind is to be innovative in nature and also show examples of educating people on what they don't know that is the objective of being here and whatever thing we are learning here is based on cryptocurrency knowledge and how to solve the future problems of cryptocurrency
