So we've all noticed the new "legendary member" status - just a post to say to all "newbies" that even us "legendary members" were also newbies once and also understand that as accounts are *sold* here don't think that just because a forum member appears to be "legendary" doesn't mean they couldn't actually be a scammer.

Before you *trust* any forum member you'd be best to check that member's posting history and also their reputation (and no - my account is not for sale).

Sincere and simple message.
Glad to hear it and will hold onto the warning.

I have a related question.
I'm assuming that most legendary players, not just here, but people regarded as great assets to bitcoin as a whole,
that these people all came to bitcoin with transferable knowledge & experience of computer science, cryptography, market economics or one of many other useful subjects of knowledge.
Am I wrong in this? Is there anyone you regard as a bitcoin gem that came into it with zero useful knowledge?
