When you invest in bitcoin it means you have disposable money and in that case i also will not regard it as capital so don’t understand why he keeps arguing about this, I think maybe because he lacks understanding about it but i don’t get why a junior member rank will want to argue with a legendary rank with experience? Keeping a cool head and being loyal is the best way to gain knowledge and not argue even when you feel you are right.
Why can't lower-ranking members debate with higher-ranking members? Does the forum have any regulations about that? And that shows you lack respect for newbies, they don't have the right to learn, don't have the right to express their investment opinions?
I agree that those who have been in the markets for a long time will have more experience, but everyone has a different view on investing and just because they don't have the same view as us doesn't mean they are wrong and we are right. Furthermore, sometimes newbies don't have too much understanding and arguing is a good thing because it shows they are trying to learn. Maybe right now they don't understand and are stubborn with their views, but maybe later they will thank us when they understand everything.
I don't also get the point why he bring up the rank discussion since it doesn't mean that if they have high rank account in this forum automatically they are more knowledgeable than those people which have low rank accounts. This is not the measurement of intelligence since not all can spend a lot of time in this forum since maybe they are in focus outside and just visiting here when they need something especially seeking for updates regarding on new trends. I see a lot of knowledgeable low rank account that discuss a lot of technical matters about bitcoin. So hopefully there's no other other discriminating opinion towards them since we are here to share our knowledge and contribute to the topic discuss in this thread.
If they don't like the opinion shared by low rank member then I guess its better to share the correct insights so that they could also learn something that there's something need to correct on their first opinion posted here.
You guys don’t seem to get my point, this is a forum where we all interact and share ideas and we learn new things from each other every single day regardless of the ranks and even higher ranks can learn from a newbie I don’t dispute that but going back to their discussion I discovered how he disagreed and argued about capital and to my understanding i agree with JJG’s point and further advised him not drag the issue too far and reason from his perspective even if he feels he is wrong.
Y’all attacking me but it’s the plain truth, knowledge shouldn’t be measured by rank,
but not just in the forum anywhere you go rank speaks highly of a person more because we all believe a person with higher rank is more qualified. I would have speak highly of him if only his rank was higher or seen a proof of how knowledgeable he is around the forum but I didn’t see anything.
You should tell him the truth instead, to learn and improve one needs to show signs of respect to their seniors no matter how knowledgeable or gifted you think you are it will help you grow more. I can't agree with what you are saying cause I hate to see ranking as a measure to know who is more knowledgeable than others in this forum, you also have to understand that this thread is a little complex than other threads cause we are talking about investment and money management here and you know that everyone has to bear the risk himself for which ever decision that he makes, anyone that shows interest has the right to argue with whoever opinion that he finds contradictory to what he knows and thats the only way to really learn by disproving each others facts.
I can remember when I started off in the thread it took me a while to start understand what everyone was saying and even till this moment i still have my own opinion concerning some matters we argue or discuss here, and just for clarity someone could have Been on this forum for longer doesn't have anything do with his experience concerning investment, I had already started investing or rather bought Bitcoin once before this forum, everyone is something outside here and irrespective of rank we must understand than everyone's opinion is valid and should be correct if wrong or respected if correct.
Moreover what margin do we use to know who is correct or wrong everyone here speaks as he knows, not like there is a textbook to investing in bitcoin, we all learn and tell others what works for us, newbie or legendry alike, we are here to learn.
I understand what you are saying and I agree with you that not everybody who is in this from is here because they invested in bitcoin. Many come for different reasons and of which all of us know that the forum is very vast, and have almost every threads that talk about the issues of life. Some people who are legendary and other senior ranking members are more knowledgeable in the field and threads they often visit and discuss on. Some people who are good in politics and society will be knowledgeable in those areas. But there are exceptional people who has knowledge in almost every issues of life, sometimes I wonder how they do it, and one of those people I know is @JJG. I saw him in almost all the threads that discuss issues from Economics, politics and society, bitcoin and many more, and when you see him talk he makes valid and vital points which when applied you will see results. So people like that don't just get Legendary because of forum ranking, they got there because they have been contributing what they know is the best way to go about things. How did they know, the answer is this "They have been practicing it and teaching it for years and have seen it work all the time" So when they are teaching us what they know, we might be thinking we know it all and tend to argue because we are ignorant.
