You're welcome to the forums mate,I also want to ask the same question but you make it more easier for me to learn below your comment section, gradually we gonna earn merit but as our senior mate says ,we shouldn't come to the forums for merit or Money,we should learn and gain more knowledge about this forum and all what we are here for everyone is here to learn.
If you make it in life or earning money from anywhere, your knowledge is helpful for you at the place in making money. I am not saying you should come to this forum because of money, but know that knowledge can bring money. But some people do not have the knowledge and they do not want to learn. Those are the people that should know that first looking for money without knowledge will not become positive for such person. Knowledge and experience are important.
Thank you @charles-Tim for these guidelines for newbies, it's made navigating the forum a lot easier for me and like you said knowledge can bring money and that has been my biggest motivation and I'm trying hard to learn as I'm here for knowledge and then make a living out of it.
@slowPP, bro let's be realistic here. If you say you are here for the knowledge alone then you are lying to yourself, I mean yeah we all want knowledge but of what use is that knowledge if you can't make a living out of it (Bitcoin) knowledge and money should work along side each other as long as Bitcoin is involved.
Bitcoin investors learn about Bitcoin and everything that has to do with it before investing, why do you think they invest in Bitcoin, isn't it for financial freedom? Or you think they are doing it just for the knowledge?
Most of us (me inclusive) we are here for the knowledge, experience and then use our knowledge and experience to earn merits, rank up, get involve in signature campaign and earn money from our knowledge. Merits, rank up, signature campaign and earning money are my biggest motivation and these are the reason why I yearn for knowledge. Make my motivations yours too and let's grow together.
