Bitcoin Forum

i'm thinking of starting my own bitcoin forum,  this one seems outdated and i want to make a better bitcoin forum than this one,

will everyone join my forum?    any advice?

theres not many bitcoin forums out there,  

i also thought about starting a bitcoin blog, but i'm not much of a writer, 

maybe a bitcoin site about news, but its like a blog and i don't enjoy writing,

so, a forum is the only thing i thought would be fun,



anyone support my idea?   give me ideas

This is the oldest and trusted forum when it comes to collecting information related to bitcoin and earning some bitcoins and its still the most popular place and you can treat it as an outdated forum as there are many other forums available at a moment but people prefer to spend time only on this forum.

why is this forum so trusted compared to others

i am a member of 3 other bitcoin forums out there and they tell me this forum is bad because they censor stuff here,  

personally i haven't had any problem with censoring here, or at any of the other bitcoin forums out there


but it's good to join other forums to see what their opinions are

I don't think your idea will bloom. This forum was established as soon as Bitcoin was. And I don't see it outdated since there are persons who are maintaining this forum. Besides, this is the well known forum to Bitcoiners and it has already build its name in terms of Bitcoin and Altcoin advertising, marketplace and etc.

This forum is trusted because it was founded by Satoshi, the creator of Bitcoin, and he posted here regularly for over a year.  This is where the Bitcoin community formed, basically.  All other forums can offer is a nicer design.

There isn't any censorship here, the mods are extremely lenient and you can even start self-moderated topics which you manage yourself.  You can't have a completely open forum, but all discussion is free, it's just doing extremely malicious or stupid things which aren't allowed.

I don't know your definition of outdated,because this is where I get first hand information about bitcoin and new altcoin,there are a lot of crypto currency related forum,but they have a hard time getting active members,because some of them are just clone of bitcointalk..
And I don't know what will make your forum different and stand out .

you can try to make a better forum but what makes it is the users.  how will you get enough users? without critical mass it will never work.

You can always start your own forum but before that you need to do a good marketing to attract people towards your forum as to be successful forum you also need to have enough traffic and if its not done then your forum will not survive longer.

Just go for it ! You won't know if you just keep dreaming and thinking about it. We can always use another bitcoin forum. There a few others and they really good too. Maybe yours can become like them or maybe better even ? Good luck.

I don't think this forum is outdated but may be an old forum for bitcoin discussions. You will get all information about the bitcoins and you can find the best advice from experienced bitcoin users on this forum. I don't think any other forum can attract so much traffic than this forum. I advice better think of something else and good luck to you.

Several such forum came into existence as a clone of bitcointalk, but none gained popularity same as ours in terms of users base and the service access. Also it serves as a good knowledge source for entire digital currency community and others who agonize to learn.

I thinkt if you start another bitcoin forum you just waste your time, you just waste your effort. You can't copy this forum, your forum can't be bitcointalk forum. This forum is trusted, you can't get many members here if you're site is the same. But if you're site is another way of earning. I think there's a chance that you can get many members.

Because it is backed up by the inventor of bitcoin, Satoshi. And don't forget other contributors and developers of bitcoin are also here in forum. If you don't have problem with censoring stuff then why are you judging that it's a bad thing about the forum. Well we do have our freedom, but many will still choose to stay and don't intend to create his/our own forum. This forum has been built with a strong foundation.

OP, outdated or not, this forum will always be no.1 in the cryptocurrency world. It has everything you can ever look for in a forum like drama, the trolls, all the good information and the misinformation.

There is another forum owned by Roger Ver but it is not attracting many users. Even the Bitcoin Unlimited supporters likes it better here.

How can you say it is outdated?In what aspect or topic? I cant see any outdated topics here when it comes to bitcoin topics or any updates etc I think this forum is intended for bitcoin purposes topics and some altcoins,your idea is good there are many bitcoin forum out there but not as huge as btctalk.org, this is the most trusted and reputed bitcoin forum I know.  

Yes I agree with you that this forum is always updating for any news
or discussion of the Bitcoin/altcoin. In my opinion this forum had the attraction
such as the presence of signature campaigns and any other bounties.
This has made the people interested in this forum.

You are not the first to have this idea, but can you deliver on your promise, there are alot of factors that makes BCT successful, Satoshi (Founder) is one of the reasons. Another thing is the userbase, there is no need of creating something people will not use.

The more forums bitcoin has the more better it is to bitcoin and the community. If there are multiple forums then we can spread the news about bitcoins much faster . But if you want your forum to have a good standing then you must also have a signature campaign in your forum which has better pay out than this forum. But I guess you will have a hard time competing with this site since for me it is the best forum there is online.

I think if you create a new bitcoin forum that will not bloom because this forum has lots of bitcoin users and members of it the forum life is depends on the members of it so I think if you will create it will not bloom because this forum is so active and many opportunities. You can try but I think that will not work.

The only thing that you will lose if you dont try your idea is your chance to be part of the booming Bitcoin industry. Regardless if you fail or succeed whats important is you shared you have in mind. Taking the first step is the hardest in every aspect. If your Bitcoin forum project failed its fine, no one will ridicule you as long as you didn't do harm to anyone.

I think its not great idea to start your own forum , there are not many forums but "there are forums" as I saw the only forum succeeded is bitcointalk.org forum other forums are like air come and go,but of you still want to start then you have to build one team .
Blog writing ,if you don't like to write then you can hire newbie they will take small amount for writing .blog is profitable and valuable than forum (not every time)

This is the place you could find most trusted people to utilize your bitcoins. Even reddit also deals with the bitcoin related thread but still bitcointalk forum is on the top always. If you have planned to invest on bitcoin, I suggest you to try trading or if you looking for deep web development related investment, just start an E-commerce site with btc and other altcoins as a payment mode. This will make revolution in e-commerce business. I am sure we may replace paypal via this idea.

Creating a forum is easy, you can create a forum better than this one, with better features, better options, more user friendly etc. But what makes a forum successful are its members and their activity. This forum has thousands of active members on daily basis, and they weren't here overnight, the forum's age plays a very important role too, plus the activity of course. So to create a new forum will be no big deal, any 10 year old nowadays can do it, but how are you planning to make it successful? What will you offer that will make people join your forum? And more importantly, stay on your forum and post there instead of posting on this one and earning a few bucks every day and also be part of an active, knowledgeable and engaging community?  

It's a nice idea-it could be a blog or just a site where your post crypto news-if you are really that into BTC and always follow the latest news then I would suggest to go for it-you really have nothing to lose.Try to make something creative,or at least something which would be useful and informative

It's a bad idea op. I don't agree with you on this Idea. Firstly you should know Satoshi was here on this very forum. Secondly this is the most trusted forum and most of the legendary members can be trusted out here. A forum is not all about posts, it's the users, and I will tell you why it's a bad idea. Say you build a forum say bitcoinnew for example, you will have to pay a decent amount to get all features of this forum plus all new you would want to add. You will have to spend heavy on marketing to get users, but how will your users deal? No trusted escrow, all scammers and boom in a while it will end. To stop that you will give pay per post and end up in curing heavy expenses. What I would suggest is why don't you donate to this forum here instead.

anyone can open a forum anything just like anyone can open their own business but the most important point is not anyone can be a millionaire in just 1night it needs lot of time and patients and a lot of knowledge. and in addition to that theymos is maintaining this forum and he has to may some money too (which he gets from the ad banners all around this site). everything is perfectly settled and most of the people love this old theam so i don't this we are ever gonna need any of its replacement. by the way some users already tried to open new forums and i don't think they where successful!

You want some cake like admins and mods around here? :D :D the only bad thing about theymoslover forum :D is the saturated alternative boards with hundreds of pages stacked upon each other just to scam people in the long run, unfortunately they also attract almost half the traffic here, so we'll have to deal with it.
Censorship of what kind of information? because there  are 2 kinds:
1-misinformation fed to people by trolls/ ignorant ones.
2-incorrect/ one sided/ false/ FUD/ spam/ nonsense.

Unlike some people would love to see bitcoin network diversified aka BU/ SW/ 8MB/ etc, all should operate by running their own nodes like Core doing the following math which code base recognizes and majority only validates that math such as for example: 2.5*2.5=5 no matter if BU does it like this: 2+3=5 or something else like this: 4+1=5 or 1+1+1+1+1=5 yeah we all know that but it's not like the majority (longest chain) is going to accept anything other than than 2.5*2.5=5.

Above was just to show that we don't need many forums or bitcoin clients for that matter :D  

I think this forum is the greatest, it got a lot of traffic and it is the place to look for opinion and news, if you think your forum can make bitcoin become bigger and more people to used it then go and make another forum, if the user found out that your forum is useful then there will be a lot of member joining it

How come this forum is outdated? Since we can able to see or read the most recent happenings on bitcoin and cryptocurrency world.Just try to see the boards and you will see what i mean.You can actually start your own btc forum but i think no one can beat this forum for sure.

Technically, we cannot dictate you if you should create a new bitcoin forum. Most of the replies are just opinions. What if the one you created boomed and became successful or what if it is the other way around. All are just WHAT IFS. We cannot predict what might happen so your decision must be firm. Take note also of some factors before you start your own forum (if you will) such as:
1. What does the users' needs and wants?
    - Knowing what users' needs and wants will help you in creating a wonderful forum that may attract people.
2. Do you have the manpower in maintaining your forum?
    - Having enough manpower is crucial since the forum will run 24/7 and maintaining the quality and moderation is a must.
3. How will you advertise your forum?
    - Since it is a new forum, you need to advertise it so that you will have members.
4. Do you have the  time?
    - A forum that runs 24/7 needs administrators and moderators. If you will do that task then you must have all the time in doing so. You must invest
      most of your time in administering or moderating the forum.

It is still your decision and whatever you decide, I wish you a good luck.

many where thinking about strating their own forum for bitcoin, but the truth is that even the messaging of bitcoin is centralized, because everyone post here in the end

maybe if you can add something that we can't find here, little niche things like a like button for example or an ignore that ignore even if you quote someone else that quoted that ignored user, etc...could at least attract some users from here

Even if you start your own bitcoin forum I don't think that many users will entertain it as they are used to this forum as this the oldest one and here they are earning bitcoins from different places so if you can manage to give them earning opportunities then things can be different.

yes, you can.you can create discussion board for Bitcoin topic. Apply best content sharing policies for genuine content. so you will get genuine users for bitcoin discussions.

You should try, what can you lose? In the worst case you'll get an experience setting up a bitcoin forum, so it's still gain.

Why don't you suggest your ideas to the team of experts that brought and run this forum so that they will look for a way to integrate your idea into it and makes it better for all of us rather than creating a different one? Maybe they might apportion you a quota in the shares so try and sort things out with them maybe you can reach a consensus.
