A seriously underutilized feature for all the beginners here — the Reddit search bar

TL;DR: Use Reddit search bar for your questions by typing in the term exactly, with no "what is x" pretext. I am also available to help answer your question by helping you find a post relevant to you in case you really can't find it.

No really, many — if not all — of the beginner questions you may have can be safely solved with reliable information from the previous times it has been asked! Even if the posts with your same question have low upvotes and seem suspicious, you can average out from all the other posts on the same topic whether that answer is correct. This is what it means to DYOR efficiently (Do Your Own Research).

The reddit search bar is extremely picky so make sure you're searching the exact term you need and avoid spelling errors, so if you want to look up DeFi for example, just type 'DeFi' and sort by top all time to find the most helpful guides. (If you're looking for a topic's more current information in case it is more time sensitive, sort by top in the last year/month).

Even searching your question on google and tacking on 'reddit' at the end will cause google to spit out answers and pages from reddit (there's also ways to make google search specifically only give answers from reddit.com, but I can't currently remember how to.

And for your final bonus offer, if you really really can't find the answer easily, type your question below and I will help you find a post with the information you need. Seriously, don't be afraid to ask questions, even if you think its dumb. Those are the critical ones we need to answer, before you accidentally start your crypto journey off on the completely wrong long road.

Please, help me help you. I mean it genuinely. Thank you for reading.
