Honestly, you’re already off to a great start. The way you introduced yourself shows you’re here for the right reasons  not just hype, but to actually learn and add value.

Like you said, Bitcointalk might look old-school at first, but trust me, there’s a lot of knowledge buried in these threads. If you stick around and keep showing up with good energy like this, people will notice.

A few simple tips:

Don’t worry too much about merit or rank in the beginning, just focus on making useful posts.

Take time to read before replying, so you’re not repeating stuff that’s already been said.

Ask questions, but show you’ve done a little research first. That goes a long way.

Interact with others, quote posts, and share your own thoughts. That’s how you build trust here.

Even if your English isn’t perfect, just be clear and real. People respect that.

You’re on the right track. Keep it up, and the growth will come naturally. Wishing you the best on your journey here!
