Reddit - both the r/bitcoin and r/btc subs, plus the r/bitcoinmarkets. r/bitcoinmarkets is superior to bitcointalk when it comes to discussing market movements. On here you get cheerleaders, but on there, actual focus on the trading (up or down).

I love r/bitcoinmarkets too. Decent discussions there. But I love Reddit and the community there generally.

I've tried out a couple different forums, but most of them are rather inactive. This one is the only forum i've found that actually contains a decent amount of reading materials on a daily basis...

it was litecointalk, but it is hacked now, too bad, it was good for me, now there is that other forum that is similar to this, about bitcoin, forgot the name, maybe bitcoin.com?

i agree. in general i love reddit and its subs all of them are good. i have never yet seen any sub that is crappy or useless.
i live the dogecoin community /r/dogecoin and also bitcoin /r/bitcoin there is also a jobs4bitcoin sub.

but apart from these there are a lot of other subs like techsupport that i really like because i ask all my technical question there and i always get very good answers (not really bitcoin related but i thought to mention it here since it is very useful)

I really like BTCPOP. Their digital community is really good. There are some regular users on there who are quite fun to watch on the website's live chat, but I find when you need help and don't want to wait for support to get back in touch with you, people can be really helpful.

Yeah I used to hang out on Reddit a lot but in the end got tired of all the hate, anger and racial slurs that seem to permeate the majority of the subreddits. I remember the crypto subreddits used to be fairly well-behaved though, the Dogecoin one was particularly nice. I also spent a few months on Bitcoingarden, they have a lot of promos and giveaways. I used to earn coins by sharing messages and links on Twitter and Facebook.

there is a bitcoin community on reddit and it is pretty big to be honest

though i dont search for any bigger bitcoins communities as the bitcointalk.org community is really great

Both bitcointalk and bitcoin reddits (/r/bitcoin and /r/btc). I think both help me to get up-to-date with the latest developments.

However, I like bitcointalk slightly more.

I can say that on bitcointalk I find everything what I need. I tried some other forums, but it's very innactive. Sometimes I'm reading about bitcoin in my country local forums, but there community is very small.

I don't know if any other forum or discussion board exist beside bitcointalk and bitcoin board in reddit. But i really like coindesk and cointelegraph to read news and articles about bitcoin and this forum is always my first priority.

Apart from bitcointalk I also used to visit /r/bitcoin. However I was never really active there. I reduced my visits further after the sub was flooded by HearndresenCoin shills that wanted to promote their favorite altcoin and subsequently staged an epic drama around alleged censorship which was unbearably retarded and entirely unjustified. If you ask me, moderation should have taken action much sooner and much stricter by banning every single one of these shills as soon as they popped up. Because they did not do that, the sub became a troll assembly and was unreadable for any human being with a sane mind.

So for now I stay here at bitcointalk, since it is overall a nice community. The advantage of bitcointalk is that you can not only discuss but also participate in market activities if you want to. That is a huge plus compared to a discussion/news-only community.

ya.ya.yo!

Same as the majority of people here, apart bitcointalk.org comes reddit (r/bitcoin)  which I take a look on it ~once per week
Didn't want to try another forum since btctalk is more than enough  ;)

When trading, it is important not to get emotionally attached to a position. r/bitcoinmarkets is pretty objective when discussing trading, the ups, downs, sideways moves, they want to make a profit. Whereas on the speculation subforum here, you either get people who are unshakably convinced we're going to the moon, or you get pumpers, trying to entice people into a move, so they can dump on them. The subreddits have fewer pumper-dumpers and tend to focus instead on TA and Fundamentals.

I see what you mean. I don't frequent the market discussions too much, the polarised landscape in the Speuclation sub here that you're referring to can be too painful at times (similar to the politics section, sadly). Part of the issue for me is that I find the whole TA* discipline a little lacking in credibility. It seems to me that the trends can be predicted in respect of events that effect the markets, but events themselves (of course) cannot be predicted, and so the discussions are often academic only (or only relevant for those running trading bots, trying to profit within small margins of potential). Perhaps r/bitcoinmarkets is worth checking out then, if there's less dreaming/trolling and more credible analysis (including my favourite marker of credibility, someone who's clearly a capable/shrewd analyst, and yet has the humility to say "don't know/outcome uncertain")

*(technical analysis of the markets)

I agree that TA doesn't always work. But they do discuss other stuff, such as the effect of the devaluing yuan on bitcoin, macroeconomics, bitcoin fundamentals. Pumpers or people who are cheerleaders tend to get down-voted to oblivion, and usually leave, and the moderators are pretty good are ensuring valuable discussion takes place.

Yeah, the crazy r/bitcoin community! :D
Bitcointalk and reddit is more than enough to read, communicate with each other and keep yourself updated.
Ok in addition to that I'm also following some Bitcoin and crypto enthusiasts on twitter as well, but that's it.

Yeah both of these are more then enough to collect latest and udpated information about bitcoin, and I spend most of the time of bitcointalk rather then wasting time somewhere else.

It is same with me.. I have registration on almost all bitcoin related forums but don't have much time to give all. and browser everyone seperately. I don't even use facebook for many days but use bitcointalk everyday. I know that I could get every knowledge and information about bitcoin right here and don't need to go somewhere else.

Yes, I'm active on local bitcoin forum in my country but only active to discuss bitcoin price and trading, and bitcoin price in my local exchange is very expensive than a west exchange.

For me personally, I would much rather prefer to do and sharing, communication, and also seek knowledge about the BT Forum in the Bitcoin. for in the BT forum is very many people who are already experienced and also we can get science. Not only that in addition to get the science, we can also get the Bitcoin by following the event, quiz, or the sign campaign.

Bitcointalk is the coin related forum i follow.
The big variety of altcoin sub threads and topics makes any other communities seem redundant to me

Despite its trading bent, r/bitcoinmarkets has the most balanced discussion I find. r/bitcoin and r/btc are both squealing fuckholes in their own special ways.

Exactly this platform is the best to know something new about bitcoin, and with the existence of this forum we really don't need any other place to collect information related to bitcoin.

Not being a loyal ass dog here, but I'm really not in any other bitcoin community besides bitcointalk because I'm usually in the section of my local community here in bitcointalk. I tried many other forum but it doesn't appeal to me because most of them just have too much ads on them.

I have visited many Bitcoin related community's but  bitcointalk is the best one others are inactive or have few members. Beside bitcointalk I like Reddit there have a bitcoin community there I found more news and discussion about bitcoin. Now I just use this two forums for getting information about bitcoin.
