I don't know exactly what percentage of new people are not able to survive.
The forum is not where people as new members will be killed so they only need to be forum members naturally. They don't have any challenge of survival here, as no threat of being killed.
But it's true that when I take my friends to forums they don't even have the strength to stay for long. I think their problem is the purpose of the forum. I think many of them are in it for the money. Besides, they also have other main jobs that must be earning.
They are welcome and can use the forum with very high freedom, but they are also free to leave it anytime. Forum does not do KYC so they don't have to mind of losing their identity information here after deciding to make a departure and disappearance from the forum community.
The purpose of forum was written clearly in
Welcome messsage.
The purpose of the forum
This forum exists to provide a platform for the free (but ordered) exchange of ideas. If you have an idea to express, then it is probably possible to do it here as long as you follow the rules.
A lot of people come here primarily looking to make money. The forum administration is very happy that people are able to use the forum in order to better themselves; indeed, one of the reasons for Bitcoin's creation was to break the artificial barriers which prevent so many people around the world from attaining prosperity. However, if your attempts to make money conflict with the forum's primary goal of enabling discussion, then you are swimming upstream, and you will not be sucessful in the end.
If you view the forum as some sort of "job" where you complete some basic tasks and get paid, then you will almost certainly be disappointed, and the forum administration will not be sympathetic. If you do make money using the forum, then it will be through innovation and entrepreneurship, not any sort of mindless busywork.
Newbies, in my opinion, also need to read
Satoshi's lesson. and
Hal Finney story: Bitcoin and me.Don't think, newbies must do it by hearts and brains with enough dedication.
