Don't forget to mention the one and only Warren Buffett who regarded and still regards Bitcoin as a virus. Like there's a long list of names he has associated Bitcoin with and here's just a few;
*Bitcoin= rat poison squared
*Bitcoin= a delusion
*Bitcoin= a gambling device with a lot of frauds attached to it.
The funny thing about these individuals is that they can only say what they want about Bitcoin, cause FUD but it still will not change or stop the growth. There have been so many haters of the coin and sometimes I wonder if it's actually Bitcoin that has made them bitter or the fact that their traditional fiat is slowly losing its value.
Fiat currency is the weapon governments use to control the whole population. It gives them control over monetary supply, interest rates and even eroding your savings by printing more (Inflation)*Bitcoin= rat poison squared

They can't bear to lose their control to Bitcoin a decentralized form of currency that no one controls as they can eventually lose the grip over People Because Bitcoin Can't be Manipulated.
They will do everything and anything trying to stop the massive popularity Bitcoin is gaining by misinformation , FUD campaigns Etc. That is happening right now But they are failing miserably as Bitcoin is constantly proving itself to people That it's the Future. The more people understand it the more people will not want to go towards fiat currency. Hope people that are unaware of Bitcoin get to know about it so they Can be Actually Free.
Re: Should religion speak on gambling for the whole country?
Those who want to gambling can continue what they want. That will of course depend on themselves. If they are religious people, they won't gamble. In contrary, those whose faith is still weak will gamble. Religion forbids gambling, but many people in each country still gamble. So it's up to each personal. We can not force them stop gambling, especially the government but we can only advise them against it. The decision is theirs, and we hope they understand the risks and consequences.
Well said, I as a Muslim Also look to gambling as a bad way to Earn As it has A very High risk of one losing his money. it's true that it is really risky you still can't force people to not gamble As that is their Own will. Allah Created This World and gave People Free will and We have no Right to force a person's Decision. Only those who Choose the right thing by his/her own will and not forcefully will benefit in the Hereafter.
That's just my Opinion.
Re: Learned My Lesson About Using AI – Just Being Honest for Other Newbies
You still sound like an AI speaking to us.
I wonder where the pressure of writing perfect and knowledgeable posts comes from. You're a 2-day old account. You aren't supposed to be here to show how perfect and knowledgeable you are. You've just created your account the other day. I guess what you should be doing now is explore the forum, read pinned posts, and the like. You don't even have to contribute.
If you want a different discussion, you can chat with AIs. It's still fun. It also gives you knowledge. You can do research to verify whether what it's saying is true or not. You seem to be in a hurry.

I was just trying to be a perfectionist. That's a very bad quality as people say I have. Being a perfectionist is in my mind not wrong but it can lead you to do mistakes as I did. I just tried to be oversmart and failed miserably. So for the people reading this I advise them to be themselves not use things like Ai to look perfect. I'm sorry.
Hope the forum forgives this mistake of the Newbie. I am genuinely trying to become Better.
I can't remember where I saw this suggestions on where to get bitcoin knowledge but I kept it on my notepad for times like this when newbies will want them.

You can try using the search feature in the forum, or use Google if you want to look for a specific topic.
Anyway, here are some threads that compile links to helpful threads that have been posted by other members(not specifically about bitcoin or altcoin tho). You might want to check them out. All of them have been posted years ago, so it might be outdated, but you'd still find helpful threads there. I really suggest that you use the search feature in the forum or just use Google if you are really looking for a specific topic, and then just add "bitcointalk" at the end of your search key words.

That's exactly what I needed and made this thread for. I've read Some of these posts and they are very instructive and informative for me. It has already taught me some of the Basics like how to search effectively and How to use the BBcode and what is it and there's tons more to read. I'm really thankful of you fellas and hopefully it helps more Newbies Like Me. I highly recommend reading these for the Newbies Out there.
I Don't think you can trust AI to make trades for you as it's extremely risky. How can you expect Ai to make decisions that many experts that have spent years gaining knowledge cant make with 100% assurity. Surely you can take some help from Ai. Like monitor your charts when you can't be active or give you some tips about indicators on how they work etc. But Your Trades shouldn't rely on An Ai assistant Totally because markets are not always logical they are influenced. An Ai can Shut Down At Any Moment and Hurt The Capital. Ai should be used as an assistant not a decision maker. Ai + manual confirmation is the only way to Go.
Hi Everyone,
BTC has Hit a new All Time high ATH. I Thought I'd share my thoughts from beginners perspective and ask what experiencesd members think. As BTC has hit an ATH That becomes a tremendous news For the early Hodlers and investors. But what about The Newbies?
In these situations most Newbies become prey of FOMO and lose most of their capital. They think it has Hit an ATH and will go for a Pullback and they Short. But it continues to Rise higher.
So I want to know how to react to this market and what do Hodlers do in these situations. Do they Sell, Hold or Buy More. How can we Newbies save ourselves from FOMO in this situation.
Will be really thankful for your advices.

Re: The One Question That Every Trader Should Ask Themselves
Before going into any trade or investing in any project, one of the many question that I believe that every traders, most especially the beginners should ask themselves is-
"If this trades doesn't go as planned, will I still be able to sleep at night?"
Why This Question is Important -
Asking yourself the question enable one to access:
1) If one is emotionally and financially prepared to lose thst particular amount
2) If the trade is driven by FOMO, hype, or clear and critical analysis
3) If the decision will affect other areas of one's life
Let's Look at a Real Case Scenario
We have of course seen what happened with project like LUNA, MANTRA etc. Those traders that failed to ask themselves the hard question before investing lost not just their money but also their trust in the crypto market entirely and not just that it also rendered most of the investors bankrupt and then back to square one.
Final Words
The crypto market is highly unstable, that it why it is important that traders only invest what he can afford to lose. So the next time as you are about to click that “buy” button, stop and ask yourself:
"If this trades doesn't go as planned, will I still be able to sleep at night?"
If the answer is yes, then you can go ahead. But if the answer is no, then it best not to make that trade or investment.
These are solid points and can save one from losing extra money by asking themselves a question. I respect your opininion. But i as a trader think that mostly beginner traders think of trading as a GET RICH QUICK scheme. They think investing $100 can make their fortune. It is not their fault too as todays trading "GURUS" make it look that way by only showing huge profits. so if a trader with that capital invests with risk management he/she will see their expectations not met and do overtrading and eventually leave the market by losing that capital. so in my opinion trading should not be seen as a money multiplier but a full strategic War. in which you have to save yourself not conquer. Im just talking from the beginners point of view. These points can help a more experienced person who has spent some time in the market.

As a newbie who is trying to learn useful knowledge in the forum I get lost in the vast topics that people have shared. i truly want to gain knowledge but dont seem to find a post or thread helping me.anything i find is just too complex for me. I want to know how bitcoin works ? what are altcoin? and some other bits of knowlege that can help me invest.
ill be thankful of senior members helping me!

Bitcoin has Made its ATH. It's a great thing for the early investors and has rewarded their patience. They were very lucky rather say intelligent as they got hold of bitcoin early when it had very little or no Value.
But what about Us Newbies? Have we missed bitcoin? Are we Too Late?
As it's common for a stock or a crypto etc, that when in an uptrend it has pullbacks. So it is a chance for people that missed to get some benefit from the run. Is a pullback Expected? Or it will continue to rise higher? When is the time for an entry?
Need Help from people who have experience and can help Me and other Newbies Like Me.

Learned My Lesson About Using AI – Just Being Honest for Other Newbies
Hey guys,
Figured I’d share something I messed up on, in case it helps someone else avoid doing the same.
When I first joined Bitcointalk, I wasn’t too sure what kind of posts were expected, so I thought using an AI tool to help me word things better would be a smart move. It wasn’t like I was copying stuff I was just using it to make my posts sound cleaner.
Turns out, that wasn’t a good idea. A couple of my posts got flagged for being AI-generated, and honestly, I get it now. They didn’t sound like me at all just too polished and robotic. Looking back, they probably came off as fake or soulless, even though that wasn’t my intention.
I’ve realized that people here value real, honest opinions not perfect sentences. So yeah, lesson learned the hard way.
From now on, I’m just going to write the way I actually talk and think, even if it’s a bit rough around the edges. At least it’ll be me and that’s way more important.
If you’re new here like I am: don’t overthink it or try to sound too “professional.” Just be real, share your thoughts, and you’ll get better with time. The forum is full of smart people who appreciate honesty more than anything else.
Appreciate the folks who called me out and seriously It helped more than you probably realize.

Hey, welcome to the forum!
Yeah, this is a common issue these days. A lot of UK banks have started limiting or outright blocking crypto-related payments, especially to exchanges like Bitstamp, Binance, etc.
You might want to look into Revolut — some users have reported success with higher limits there, though it's hit-or-miss depending on the account type. Wise used to be crypto-friendly too, but they've tightened up recently. Another option is using open banking via Faster Payments if Bitstamp supports it and sometimes that works around the card limits.
It’s frustrating, I know. Hopefully more banks start being clearer with their policies. Curious to hear what solutions others here have found too.

Hello everyone,
I’m relatively new to Bitcointalk and have been exploring the forum with curiosity and enthusiasm. I’ve read through several guides about the merit system and understand that it’s designed to reward posts that are helpful, insightful, or contribute meaningfully to discussions.
That said, despite my best efforts to post thoughtfully (and avoiding any “please give me merit” nonsense), I haven’t earned any yet. I know merit isn’t something you chase directly, but I’d really appreciate some constructive feedback from experienced members on how to improve my posts and increase their value to the community.
Admittedly, I’ve been lurking in Meta like a curious newbie adventurer trying to decode a legend — and I must ask:
> What does a quality post actually look like to you?
Are there common traits you see in posts that typically get merited?
I’m not trying to game the system or earn merit by flattery — just hoping to become a better contributor here and eventually earn merit the right way. Any advice, examples, or even mild roasting of my previous posts is very welcome.
Thanks in advance for your time and guidance. May the Merit Fairy bless your helpful replies! 😄

Yeah, I get that. Fair point.
I’m still figuring things out here including how to write posts that actually bring value instead of sounding like they came out of a generator. I definitely don’t want to be seen as someone gaming the system or faking it. I’m just trying to learn and improve my way of contributing here.
Lesson learned. I’ll keep it more real and personal going forward.

The Difference Between Coins and Tokens – What I Just Learned
Hey everyone,
As someone still new to the crypto world, I’ve come across the terms "coins" and "tokens" a lot. At first, I honestly thought they meant the same thing — but after doing some reading and asking around, I finally get the difference.
I thought I’d share what I learned in a simple way to help other beginners avoid the confusion I had.
___
Coins vs Tokens – Simple Breakdown:
Coins (e.g. Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum)
They have their own blockchain.
-BTC runs on the Bitcoin blockchain.
-ETH runs on Ethereum.
-LTC runs on Litecoin’s chain.
Coins are usually used as currency — for transferring value, paying fees, or storing wealth.
You can think of coins as standalone currencies like dollars or euros in the crypto world.
Tokens (e.g. USDT, UNI, SHIBA, LINK)
They’re built on top of an existing blockchain.
Most tokens live on Ethereum or BNB Chain, using smart contracts.
Tokens rely on the coin's blockchain to operate.
Tokens can represent anything — currency, access rights, votes, NFTs, or even real-world assets.
So tokens are more like applications running inside a blockchain (like apps on a phone).
Why It Matters:
I used to just buy random tokens thinking they were like coins but now I realize:
If you’re buying a token, check what blockchain it's built on.
You’ll need the native coin (like ETH or BNB) to pay gas/fees when transferring that token.
Not all tokens are meant to be currencies. Some are used for voting, staking, or governance.
-- Advice for Fellow Newbies:
If you’re just starting, try exploring a few top coins first to understand how native blockchains work. Then move into tokens to learn about smart contracts and dApps.
Also — always double-check what you're buying. A "coin" and a "token" may look the same on an exchange, but they behave differently behind the scenes.
Hope this helps someone who's where I was just a few weeks ago! If I missed something or misunderstood anything, I’d love to hear corrections from senior members.
Thanks to this amazing community for making learning crypto so much easier 🙏

Hi
Newbie here. I hope someone can help. I'm trying to pay money to Bitstamp to buy Bitcoin and cant find a bank that will allow more than £5k a month. Starling and Chase don't allow any payments, Monzo on allow £5k a month.
Do you have any suggestions?

I’m from Pakistan and usually do testnets on mobile.I'm looking forward to learning and maybe even helping others someday.
If you have any beginner tips or threads to follow, I’d appreciate them.
Thanks
It seems your goal is to capture airdrops here. Id suggest being a testnet user or airdrop hunter, you can use X account and other social for that. No need to find out here some projects doing that. But if you changed you can always drive yourself leaning to learning more about this forum. Trust me theres more benefits for you gaining knowledge here and learn bitcoin than simply a testnet. If you have any beginner tips or threads to follow, I’d appreciate them.
Thanks
You're right. I started off mainly with testnets and airdrops since that’s what I saw a lot of people doing, especially on X. But after spending some time on this forum, I’ve realized there’s much more value here than just chasing rewards.
I’m slowly trying to shift my mindset from quick gains to long-term learning. Posts like yours help a lot and especially for someone like me who’s still finding their way around. If you have any recommended threads or users to follow to build solid knowledge (especially on Bitcoin fundamentals), I’d love to check them out.
Salaam everyone,
I’ve been watching some popular AI-based crypto projects like $FET (Fetch.ai), $AGIX (SingularityNET), and $OCEAN (Ocean Protocol). These have been gaining a lot of attention, especially after AI went mainstream globally in 2024.
The idea of combining blockchain with AI sounds promising with things like:
• Decentralized machine learning
• AI marketplaces (for models, data, or services)
• Permissionless access to AI APIs
• Autonomous agents operating on-chain
But I still have a few open questions in my mind:
1. Are these projects truly using advanced AI, or just riding the hype with vague technical terms?
2. How can we, as regular investors or users, verify if there’s real development or utility behind the token?
3. Are there any working products solving real-world problems — not just whitepapers or testnets?
I know that Ocean Protocol has built a marketplace for data sharing, and SingularityNET claims to offer an AI service marketplace using their AGIX token. Fetch.ai is working on autonomous economic agents, but I’m not sure how much of it is being used actively.
We’ve all seen trends come and go — metaverse tokens, DeFi waves, NFTs, meme coins. Some projects created lasting value, most didn’t. So now I'm wondering: is this AI + Crypto trend a real future opportunity, or just another narrative play?
Would love to hear from anyone who’s studied these projects or participated in.
I’ve been watching some popular AI-based crypto projects like $FET (Fetch.ai), $AGIX (SingularityNET), and $OCEAN (Ocean Protocol). These have been gaining a lot of attention, especially after AI went mainstream globally in 2024.
The idea of combining blockchain with AI sounds promising with things like:
• Decentralized machine learning
• AI marketplaces (for models, data, or services)
• Permissionless access to AI APIs
• Autonomous agents operating on-chain
But I still have a few open questions in my mind:
1. Are these projects truly using advanced AI, or just riding the hype with vague technical terms?
2. How can we, as regular investors or users, verify if there’s real development or utility behind the token?
3. Are there any working products solving real-world problems — not just whitepapers or testnets?

Thank you so much for the kind welcome! Really appreciate it.
I’ve been checking out the Beginners & Help section like you suggested and there’s a ton of useful stuff in there. It's nice to see how active and supportive the community is.
Since I’m still learning, I was wondering what do you think is the best way for a new member to build reputation here? Is it just about consistent posting, or are there other things I should focus on too?

Hello everyone,
I’m new here on Bitcointalk and really excited to be part of this community. I recently started exploring Bitcoin, testnets, and airdrops. I'm still a beginner but loving the learning process!
I’m from Pakistan and usually do testnets on mobile. Looking forward to learning and maybe even helping others someday.
If you have any beginner tips or threads to follow, I’d appreciate them.
Thanks
