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.
I don't think I totally agree with you because as a newbie, you should do more of reading and learning rather than trying to join discussion you know little to nothing about. Growing up, we were advised to do more of listening than talking since we were still learning certain things about life and therefore not in the position of dishing out lessons and wisdom. The same can be said about this forum; a newbie should do more of learning and seeking knowledge and most of the posts should be about asking questions and seeking clarifications unless the individual may be a newbie in the forum but have good knowledge of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency outside the forum.
