Newbies to Bitcoin can be dangerous

[Claus]

I have run into several Bitcoin "newbies" over the last couple of months, that are spreading the wrong information on forums and/or in person. Their intentions is good, but the results is bad, because they did not do proper research.

Some of these people are selling themselves as experts, because they have been in the scene for a few months. I have been in the scene for years and I still know very little about EVERY aspect of this technology.

I think you should rather admit it, when you do not know something about the technology, than selling your little knowledge as facts. I will regularly tell people that I am not clued up with every aspect of this technology, but I always try to do proper research, when I encounter something that I am not 100% clued up on.

~ Ask if you not sure.
~ Do not lie if you are unsure.
~ Do proper research before you educate other people.
~ Accept that you will not know it all.
~ Fact check what you already know.
~ Do not argue if you not sure about your facts.

Let's agree that we all learn something new about this great technology almost every day, so only a small amount of us are experts.

This will be a lesson for newcomers in the crypto world to be careful in conveying information. And as seniors, be wise to address their mistakes. Don't judge them because of their weak knowledge. Tell them what is wrong and what is right. Because in this forum senior or newbie are still learning
