Hi, I am an occasional user of your forum, and am curious how people will react to the question: Do You Consider This To Be A Friendly Community? It wouldn't take long to find examples of both the good and bad, so let's keep it simple.
Questions: In general, do you think Bitcointalk.org is a friendly place, and/or would you be really comfortable telling close friends (offline, in the real world) that they should come here and sign up?
Honestly, I wouldn't be here for almost a decade if this is not a friendly community. Friendly in terms that, if you are still a newbie and clueless about what the community is all about, those early members will help you learn the easier and effective way through their personal experiences in the forum. And if ever there are criticisms, it's always those constructive ones that will mold you to be the best version of yourself.
I'm just grateful and felt lucky that I have known this forum earlier, otherwise I would never experience learning and at the same time making a significant amount of income.
