I was a lazy type in reading when I first joined this forum, whenever I saw a post, I would just read the post itself without reading the comments. I don't always take the comments seriously because I always assume that I will understand everything about cryptocurrencies from the post itself. But I've realised that reading through the comments here is the best way to learn because they represent a variety of viewpoints, and I learned that being serious in this forum won't only benefit you inside it, but it will also benefit you outside of it.

I have always thought that by listening (reading in this case) we can learn a lot. The more we listen to others and compare their opinions with our own, the more points of view we find that can lead us to make better decisions and reasoning. This way we can learn from others and vice versa. Since debating and questioning not only makes us learn, it also makes us think about things in many ways, and that is always positive for the mind and personal development.

Well, I think learning doesn't work in one way, especially in the world of crypto. Reading people's topic is very good, but going through the reply section is better. A reply section gives you answers from different human intelligence that sometimes correlate with what's on the internet space. You should also note that it is important to also do your own research on the basic crypto terminologies you are interested in. There are available pdfs for Bitcoin, Blockchain (DLT), mining, halving, p2p, etc. Some of these pdfs are sometimes short with a minimum of 12-15 pages. They are usually written with enough pictorial representation that would increase your interest in reading through.
With the help of these pdfs, you can easily compare them with various topics and replies on this platform.

No doubt, it does.

I have just gained knowledge from your response, and I will obtain the materials and conduct additional research. This is one of the reasons we need to read the reply section because there were a lot of different viewpoints shared. I appreciate you.

Reading different opinions in the topic and asking additional questions can help in learning a lot, because you can find out that there can be mistakes or ambiguities in the initial post which are uncovered in the answers of some experienced users during the discussion. And also you can find that someone asked something what you didn't think by yourself about but what can enrich your understanding significantly. Forum is a place for long discourse of many. ;)

It's about different opinions and points of view so that there will be all kinds of questions and opinions that we haven't thought about before.
This will run a good discussion and give you more understanding.
Yes, the Forum is a place for long discussions, not just finding one solution but many solutions and opinions that can arise.
Various kinds of differences must be responded to wisely so that the discussion continues to run well and peacefully.
-
It is an essential part of the learning process to gain a better understanding of a topic by reading diverse opinions from other individuals. The world is home to different types of people, which enables one to comprehend their perspectives based on their opinions. It is also important to note that each opinion has its own valid standpoint and can be taken into consideration.
Viewing different opinions can help you understand every topic more deeply while reading the discussion in this forum.

I can't agree more with you on this, because posting here on ALTT and on BTT has made me a better reader and a writer, I can write and read, faster than before. It helped me in my exams too, because English is not my native language, it's like my 3rd language but the most important one. I have to write in English for my exams, and it helped me to write long paragraphs without breaking the flow. And I also think this is the main reason behind my high GPA.
Well, besides, this whenever we have to make a reply or creat a topic, we do research before publishing one, and that research opens new information to us and this act like reading, and getting knowledge, I did not read that much news when I was on BTT but here on ALTT i mostly read news and they are really helpful in many ways.

You are right, reading daily improves our ability to read and even fastens it, we can read more in less time and with reading, if we are creating posts then it will fasten our typing speed too. We come to know more about new things because we are engaging in a discussion where other people will read your opinions and will share there. And if you are not reading the comments in the first place and creating your own reply.
Then you will see, your point must be shared by one of the many members already, its because one person can have the same point of view. And it is not a bad thing, but when you read the member's reply, your mind tells you that this reply has already been made, now you have to post something unique that would add more value to the OP post.

I am agreed with your point of view, I can say for sure that before start writing posts on BTT as I started my time from BTT first and now I am at ALTT. Before all these, I did not knew about cryptocurrency the way like I know now. And my writing and reading skills was nothing in compared to what I have now. That's because I have read so many topics, long ones too, and write lengthy or short posts.
Created topics, big topics like articles on BTT and even the posts as well, and making them was not an easy task, I learned new things, that I might have no learned if I would have gave up at the time when I get confuse about some topics or word. I don't give up at that time instead, I try to spend more time on that issue to learn about it and at last I end up learning more than one thing.

You will be out of topic if you just read the title without reading the whole content of the thread and the responses generated by the topic, what you are about to provide could have been provided by other members many times and that will make your response redundant and repetitive, you don't have to read all the replies just to some, or its better to avoid mega threads or just response on comments that needs correction.

Reading the OP is good and can help impact knowledge but the most important part of gaining knowledge on forums like this is going through the whole discussion thread to further understand the topic and the perspective of other people. Sometimes the OP might have made a mistake while constructing the post and when you read only the post you might be misled by the post as a newbie but when you follow up the discussion of other members you will gain more information and understanding from them as there are experts that will easily identify the mistake and make corrections to the post.
This forum is mostly about write ups so i don’t see why we should be lazy to read, if you a re lazy to read how would you expect to understand what is going on in the forum and how would you learn the ways of cryptocurrency. Read more as a newbie and contribute less until you have garnered enough knowledge before you start making posts.

It is very easy to hide something away from some people even when it's right in their front without having them to know except they discover through reading, many are too weak for reading books, they don't have time to start on the journey to get more knowledge and information in addition to the ones they've already got, all because of some flimsy excuses for not having time to go through books reading, if you learn about this forum first to discover how it works, there will be almost complete information you will know without asking other to help you understand what is required.

This forum will serve as a root for getting ideas about the crypto market, so the more you practice with a topic the more experience you will gain. When i joined crypto i didn't understand anything but now i have learned a lot about cryptocurrency. Since crypto is like business in our life here we try to earn money in different ways. So if you can get a good experience then crypto can change your life so read the comments on crypto market here seriously and post your comments regularly.

It is good to read through a topic that interests you, and one that you would also like to share your opinion in. If the topic is still in its first few pages, then the better, you will learn a lot by reading what other members say and from asking your own questions about what you do not understand. If one sticks around in this forum for sometime, then they are sure to learn a lot, if they are ready to.

From what I see, there are still many posts that are off topic because they may not have read the initial topic... those who only reply to the last post without looking at the initial topic will usually move on to other related topics, even though it is far from the topic discussed at the beginning...
For me, in order for the discussion to be more focused and useful, we need to read the initial topic first and use it as a reference so that it does not go off topic... then we can read the posts below to get information from other people's perspectives and get materials from several people... and if we want to add input, we can reply to the existing material but still refer to the initial topic so that it does not go too far from the discussion...

Reading through the comments of a post is very important because it gives you a good chance to also get what the reply of the post is saying in contrary to what the user has addressed the initial question for. I have learnt more from replies than going to reply the original poster directly. Most times, posts that I don’t have idea about, I quickly go through the reply of others in order to have an understanding of what the OP is actually referring to.
But in some other cases, I just go ahead and reply the original poster if I really understood what they’re getting at and make a contribution of my own quota to the topic of discussion. A lot of learning happens here especially in between the comments to of the original post, so to enhance your knowledge here, you should emphasise more on reading through the comments.

Sometimes this has nothing to do with not reading the op, sometimes one can start a new thread, but within that thread there would be a new insight or discussion which emanated from the op, there is nothing wrong in discussing about it, and most times it remains on-topic, so it is fine in my honest opinion. However, if it is completely off-topic, then a new topic should be created for it.

Yeah that happens a lot, some discussions arise from people bringing up different ideas and points so that is likely to deviate from the original discussion but that doesn’t mean it an off topic discussion. Sometimes if you don’t read through the thread you may think people are making off topic posts but that’s why it is important to always quote the posts you are replying to so your post doesn’t seem like an off topic post.
That being said, it doesn’t mean that people don’t act carelessly and make replies without reading the OP, in fact a lot of people does that.

I wouldn't call it a off-topic though, I mean that's how conversation developed, from one topic to another within the same thread. And then there is the essence of the discussions so still good to reply and talk about it.
There are even old thread that still emanates as of this time, just like when we talk about the price and what not. Some times we go back and see the predictions and look if it is a miss or hit. So I do not understand why some will deem some topic or some reply off topic, IMHO.

You have a valid point, however, if we deem it off topic or the OP itself sees it that way then he should lock the topic as well so that no one can add their perspective. But as long as the topic is open, someone can still barge and give his opinion on the said topic, and that's the sign of a good community. And there is also this unwritten law for us, if we see the topic has not been discussed for at least a week then we shouldn't add our input, unless it's a recurring theme that the topic is going to be updated every week or two by the OP or someone who knows about the topic.

honestly i do not see much issue with this especially if the thread is really long already you can’t expect everyone to still be on op’s topic and i think being able to talk about what the last person has said on the thread creates more activity no one will be talking if we just stayed on one topic and it already got answered by the first ones

Our forum is a place for discussion, and it's great that AltcoinsTalks forum members enjoy discussing with friendliness, focusing on content rather than personal attacks. We have topics with hundreds of comments, and it's clear that hundreds of comments will provide more value than the content provided by the topic creator.
I always encourage members to create topics. The crypto market is developing, and we need newer topics to discuss and share our views with each other. I know that we have many experts in trading, macroeconomic analysis, or community building. AltcoinsTalks is the place where those who want to seek knowledge and experience in this market will definitely achieve that goal and turn it into profits in their investment journey.

I don't really understand this unwritten rule..
So, when there is a topic that has been inactive for a week, it means we are not allowed to post anything in that topic?? Is that right?
If there is a thought about a related topic, should we create a new topic or bump the dead topic? I need some enlightenment on this, because maybe one day this will be useful for me too in the future.

I don't know if there is any rule about what constitutes a necro posting on this forum - but I personally wouldn't bring this topic to the surface if it had already been inactive since January of this year - and I'm really interested in how someone finds a 7-month-old topic and re-opens it ???

If a necro posting is reasonable, I don't see a big problem in that. Sometimes I see some important thing for the topic that wasn't active for months and I do post there. Like there can be some important news for a topic of some project: no need in opening a new topic just for that. But if someone wants to answer something like how he liked the idea of a topic and do it in many old topics... well, we have a badge for those. ;D

Newbies and professionals all learn by reading threads and comments of in it. I believe reading of comments is quite essential after reading the main thread to know the opinions of all knowledgeable members.
I personally read the main thread at first and then I try to read as many comments/posts in that thread as possible and when I believe I can share my insights about the issue then I post on that thread.

the main post might not always be correct or reliable so it’s important to check whether the replies or comments can help make the post clearer and more helpful it also allows for different perspectives and gives way to discussions
if we all just read the main post then we are no longer a community we need to interact and share insights and learn from each other

I don’t think there is such rule but a person’s common sense should tell him it’s not proper to post bump a post that has been inactive for a while and if a post has been inactive for long it means everything that can be discussed about that topic must’ve already been discussed and any additional posting is likely to be a spam and might be saying what others have said in the past. Although i think if the posting can be useful then i don’t think there is anything wrong in doing so, that will be better than starting a new topic of similar content.

And for sure majority of us really knows that "unwritten rule", and we think that something is lacking and we can move forward and contribute then maybe we can update the thread as we go a long.
So I say update because maybe the OP is no longer that active and somewhat will have to make a new post and refresh the topic. However, there are necro-posters maybe a AI bot or newbie who don't have something new to the conversation.

Of course, I agree that everything depends on what someone presents as "important" information if they write something in a topic where there are no posts for months or years, and now it's just a question of what someone will consider important and meaningful in a certain situation.
In this particular case, my opinion is that the bump was unnecessary because it did not add any new information or an opinion that had not already been presented.
By the way, I didn't know that badge existed - at least I haven't seen anyone have one :)

We cannot limit ourself to learnings, and this can come from anyone and in any form, don't be surprised that through some other users comment made on a thread, you may get the opportunity of learning or making a new discovery about something else, such a thing happens a lot, reading through others comments will also helps in avoiding a repetition of what had been already said by other members who have posted before you on that same thread.

Very well said mate, the main post is created either to inform us about something or to ask from the community about something and if we only read the main post and avoid reading other posts in that thread then that's not going to create healthy discussions.
It's more preferable to keep discussions healthy in a forum then to only read and interact with the main post only. Healthy discussions will always help a topic to be better understood and at the same time one can observe the opinions of the most members.

On a serious note, you stand correct. Real observation.
Even as a student, you will realize that a particular authors explanation about the same topic become better off for you and some times not all the topic but just a specific area of that topic even (foreign and home-based authors on any subject).
In this case, the comments can even give a clearer explanation of what the author is saying or revealing other points of views that altogether brightens the mind on that lesson.

Talking about reading posts and it's subsequent comments for better understanding, it's actually very encouraging to do so, but you have to also realize that everything here depends on the post in question.
If the post is one that deals with great knowledge on crypto, like it teaches the reader how to carry some taskes successfully, like investing and trading and so on, or maybe a procedure to airdrop farming, then you really don't need to also read the comments to fully grasp the understanding in the post itself, but you can still decide to read the comment to discover what other user think about the procedures outlined by the poster.
But if what we are looking at is a question post which will require answers from users in the comment section, then for such posts, the comment section is very important and shouldnt be neglected since that is where the answer to the poster's question is hidden.

Having a better understanding starts from how we are learning, what we are passionate about and how determined we are for achieving our personal ambition, the forum is not difficult to learn, if we are active and make necessary efforts towards getting familiar with how it operates, then we are going to see the benefits in due time, this is the better way of understanding the reality in crypto and the forum here.

not all posts are accurate and well written so it might be unclear what they are talking about but by reading the comments and discussion below the post we may be able to understand the topic better there could be some corrections or further clarification needed from the post no one is beyond learning in this forum learning does not stop even if we think we know it almost all
-
There are posts that are worth it to read as they are readable and you won't have any problems understanding the thought of the poster.
While some, you can take judgment into deciding not to read them because they have no sense at all as they only say repetitive words and there is no thought to understand with what they say.

Common this is a forum and it’s not all posts that are educative are actually correct the way the OP explained it. They may be some informations that are sent out inaccurate or disputing what the main purpose of the whole thread is all about. Again, some posts are meant to ask for an answer to something the OP doesn’t understand, so it’s very important to read through the comments of others especially if you don’t really get what the OP is talking about in his post. If you can’t find a clear explanation in the comment section, you can refer back to the OP for more detailed explanation.

Newbies and professionals all learn by reading threads and comments of in it. I believe reading of comments is quite essential after reading the main thread to know the opinions of all knowledgeable members.
I personally read the main thread at first and then I try to read as many comments/posts in that thread as possible and when I believe I can share my insights about the issue then I post on that thread.
We learn by reading important and informative posts. Of course both newbies and experts here both learn and that also depends on the kind of discussions you engage in the more challenging the discussions are the more you are prompted to look out for more information even out side the forum.
Although reading cannot be over emphasized, then comes another important part of learning too with is practicing. Even when you do your readings, during your free time it's nice to always attempt and apply what you learnt as it helps you properly understand what you read plus you hardly will forget it.

There are posts that are worth it to read as they are readable and you won't have any problems understanding the thought of the poster.
While some, you can take judgment into deciding not to read them because they have no sense at all as they only say repetitive words and there is no thought to understand with what they say.
Another case scenario is a topic that is just like a poll. Whether you read other people's opinion or not, you can give your independent opinion. So, in such threads, you can read only the Op, give your opinion or verdict and leave. You will only have to read other people's opinion if you want or have the time. But in all, it is advised to read others opinion no matter how different or inferior you feel they are.

That's very true, anyone who's member of the forum will learn by reading important and informative posts that the members make. The experts who have been part of the crypto community often share their knowledge in the form of posts/threads, and the newbies can actually learn from those posts/threads.
I believe in initial stage of learning the newbies should focus of simple posts that they might understand without any issues and at the same time they can do deep research on the topic matter by researching about it outside the forum. These days it's not that hard to find information anymore, however newbies should only read from reputed sources to get valuable information.

Yes even knowledgeable members that have solid technical issues learn from posts too just that most times they grab faster since they pretty much have more understanding in that aspect than the average newbie. Anyways another important thing in learning too is practicing also. A majority of the things we discuss both here and on bitcoin talk are practical and if you try doing them you get to understand better.
I remember my newbie days, one thing that also helped me aside from extensive reading was practicing what I read I some discussions.

I concur.
No body is an island (as in isolated in terms of knowledge). In one way or the other, peoples views can move mountains. Making it reasonable to follow up replies.
Just like this very post, I'm able to get the Ops point of view.
However, that doesn't undermine the beautiful colors from the replys. Examples to point but few;
1. Listening (someone related op point to listening).
2. Communication is not one way
3. Viewing different opinions
4. This Forum is a place for long discussion
5. Having Real observation (even as students) from different authors.
All the few directories above are all in accordance with the Op view and made it colorful.
Sometimes it could be out forgetting to include some points in a more elaborate topics, but going through the replies will not only add fragrance to the work but will bring up the points that are not included what ever the reason of it not being included maybe.

Replies are to educate, contribute and teach the Op and others so those who are not good in reading and only interested to create threads are always leaning behind. I have been saying this for a very long time. As newbies or baby step member.all what you have to do is read posts so you can learn more and in the process of reading, if you understand any post which you can make some knowledge to it then you can make comments.

Yes, that's in some cases where the question is like a poll and you only have to drop your opinion without having the need and importance of reading other's opinion. But the fun side is to know the thoughts of the others as well.
So, if you're that type of guy and likes to read opinion of the others then do not miss out doing that because even so you might have an opinion that against to the others and vice versa.
You'll get to read a lot of POV in different manners.
