It is necessary as a newbie to be very active in the Bitcoin discussion board so as your knowledge about crypto currencies' best coin and number one coin, Bitcoin, will grow enough to accommodate the knowledge of other coins, alongside the best crypto practices and procedures to follow for the ultimate benefits.
Be more actively with your reading and learning as a newbie. You don't need to be too actively with posting in any board while you are learning here.
Read and learn, self restrict your posting and only post when you have something to ask or contribute. Don't post because you want to be active or just want to get merit. This posting style will make your account is like a spammer account and spamming is discouraged in the forum.
