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.
