My thought on how to have better understanding

[Lucius]

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
