Bitcoin Forum

Tired of reading news platforms that are nothing but paid press-releases and interviews with yet another 'successful' founder of 'put any ico/ieo you could think of', I came up with an idea to search and study user-generated crypto platforms that could outstrip the other ones here on the Net.

The goal is to finally find an aggregator type of a platform with decent reviews, analytics, etc. No doubt the idea is pretty simple and trivial and there's already such a site as bitcointalk (which is number 1 rn), but I don't remember seeing files in a long read format often.

So, replying to the following questions would help me immensely:
Which of the platforms do you use and why?
What other platforms except for Bitcointalk forum you read?
Do you have your own blog on any of the platforms?

I participate in some other forums, they aren't as crypto-focused as BT, but they have crypto sections. Other than that I used altpocket.io for a bit (not the owner, but I was part of beta testing). Other than that, I don't really have other sites I use, although I would like to plan and develop some in the future for sure.

I have felt such unease too as regards cryptocurrency related news churches out from different corners knowing that they are all influenced news. I think the only better option is Cointelegraph.com since they are more like a general social platform with reportage on various aspects of cryptocurrency and its development

Well yeah, actually there are several platforms that are interesting to participate. So far, besides using the bitcointalk forum, I also sometimes research the new coins form another crypto forum such as altcoin talks, We can also find on Bounty Hive platform, or Bounty miner, and others. telegram group is also o=another way to get updated news of the crypto project and development. But of course, before investing, beware to research them carefully.

using forums only, namely bitcointalk, bitcoingarden n alltcoin talk. if you wanna discover some new cool platforms be ready to spend a bunch of time on it. there must be other nice content  with threads n analitics and stuff.

Apart from bitcointalk forum, other cryptocurrency social platforms that I use are mostly bounty related in the likes of bountyOx, bountyhive, telegram and WhatsApp groups that are Crypto related.

it's the same as steemit and medium. I had used the social platforms that powered by blockchain like online.io, indorse, and socialx. But only one platform can survive because it's too difficult to compete with the centralized platforms.  

I was using Steemit for posting and read blogs. But I am not anymore.
I've just started to use murmur. It is more easy from steemit and I think it is useful.

Besides this forum, Steemit and medium may be the most I use as crypto social platforms. It serves the new projects, news, and also other information including the discussion. However, we can also find out about the crypto social such as in several ICO updates, coin schedule, Bountyhuve platform, Banchor, and so on.

Well i used minds.com, crypto world talk, bitcoin talk, telegram.

Although Cointelegraph is really one of the best news platforms to me and I use it all the time, I'm thinking of other platforms with user-generated content. The reason is I want to look at things fand what's hapening in crypto from a different, very common angle.

Never heard of that... Even Google does not show results. Any link available?

I am reading a lot of crypto news on Steemit and Medium and think that those are great crypto related blogs, where you can find useful information. Moreover, there are several forums like Bitcointalk, for example: Altcointalks, Moonforum and so on.

I don't have a blog or anything else, let alone a platform. I only use the bitcointalk platform. I call this platform a gold mine, why is that ...?
because I feel that this platform is all ICO or IEO programs seeking funding from investors. they use this platform to see developments and choose the best projects without a scam. maybe there are many other platforms besides BitCointalk that offer programs almost the same as BitCointalk, but they still can't be as busy as this platform because there are many investors who have observed and used this platform to invest their money.

As you've said most of them are biased one way or other. Coindesk and Cointelegraph is what I use most and the TNW and Verge are also covering a wide range of crypto news now. Other than that, the google suggests me several related contents on the feed and I just read the ones that I find interesting.

besides in this forum I also read on one of the blogs, and saw telegram groups that were always updated about crypto. more comfortable with the use of telegram which is simple and easy.

First off, nice topic. Prefer watching opinion leaders on YouTube. Speaking of the text forms, twitter and forums are a good choice. Also would be nice to find some type of analogy to Medium but with crypto related topics only. 

An interesting article about useful tools https://blocktoq.com/10-useful-tools-for-cryptocurrency-maniacs/ enjoy!

I read blogs on taklimakan. It's a new platform, but the keep proving people trust in themwith lots of money raised in tokensale.Use their rating system to select the best content on the platform.

I always update Instagram and telegram to learn about crypto developments. besides that some websites and scointelegrap. but I often see on Instagram and telegram.

I use crypto world talk, bitcoin talk, telegram and youtube.

i get 99% of my infos from the bitcointalk forum and telegram. you always have to pay attention to
what infos you trust and since the majority of videos and blogs paid advertising is please pay attention. ;)

There are quite a good number of Cryptocurrency social platforms, I have particularly signed up with cryptocoinpravda, Steemit, minds, reddit and this current one among few others. It does matter which platform the news is first seen on, some others can confirm it. Some of these platforms however are not just authentic sources of the news, we may get the information from them and eventually look for the source through them for verification

Looks interesting. How active the community is? If I got it right, the main goal is to treck huh?

Hey, I hear about Nucypher, but this is just a recommendation, didnt' use it by myself. In general, there are indeed lots of paid articles out there ..that's I am fed up with.

There are some people who say they haven't used any blockchain social platform LOL, bitcointalk is a social platform forum, besides bitcoingarden, ...
For me I use steemit, reddit, medium, these are really good platforms, I follow and read news about blockchain there, it really makes me happy

Hm.. never in my life did I see crypto on Instagram. Ofc there are some profiles..but the number is way less than on other platfroms. To me, Instagram is more about photos, not  articles..don't think we've cool authors there at all.

currently i am not using any crypto social platform, but i have plan.

Looked through it quickly. So, it's pretty cool.. Lots of various content, which is good. Also paid attention to the rating system. It's like if you don't like a low-quality content the system helps you with that.

Publis0x, Steemit, Bitcointalk and altcoinstalksforum.
But as I think so we really need social platform like Voice from EOS. I hope that they will have a success and 2 billion of people will move from Facebook to Voice, where they be more safe with their personal datas.

I don't think Medium would qualify as a crypto social media platform. I use steemit, minds, cryptosocial majorly, that's asides BTT, altcoinstalk, and bitcoingarden. I'm looking to join some more though, within the block chain space you need to network and meet new people, who knows, Satoshi might want to link up. ;)

I think this is exactly where you want to be. I know places like ccn and so forth are fully paid stuff and there is barely anything new in there that we don't already know but honestly if you keep going to those places then they will continue to get paid for press releases and this will continue in a circle, you need to stop reading those places and they will have less visitors which means people will pay less to them so they will have to make better journalism.

Just visit here and read topics here and messages so forth, go visit reddit as well since its user generated and votes decide what is good and what is bad which means press releases get down voted to hell. Aside from this two that is basically controlled by the general public you do not need any new place.

Before I ever discovered the existence of Bitcointalk forum, I was a huge fan of Steemit, steemit enables you to publish post, generally have fun and still earn while at it and I have been using it for some years now, it also came in handy when I started bounties as well.

There was a forum where I used to write articles and get paid in their native Coin which can be exchanged to any Major Cryptocurrencies in their forum, the name of that forum is ForumCoin I think, been a very long time ago, I am partial to forums that enable me to earn from chatting and having fun.

Frankly speaking, I don't use any other forum than bitcointalk. I have heard of bitcoingarden, but not tried it.
Another social media platform which is based on blockchchain technology is  Sapient which I am using to post and read some other stuff.

I use bitcointalk, telegram and twitter as a social platform. I follow the news and updates of the platforms which I'm interested in from Twitter and Telegram. At Bitcointalk, I try to read all the informative topics that are particularly relevant to altcoins.

You can pay attention to the medium and steemit from a trusted project or account platform that often publishes crypto news. very interesting to follow the news there. many people publish writings that can add to our insight into the crypto world.

For me this forum brings the most of the information and discussion im looking for but i do use some other sources for reference and those may be from medium, steemit, reddit and sometimes ico listing websites.

During this time I only looked at the Bitcointalk forum. I think here is very accurate and precise. Apart from the Bitcointalk forum, I also often find it on Telegram and Twitter.

Curious why nobody mentioned Steemit. Here, you can leave your messages, communicate, do various short tasks, and even get awarded for all of it. Thus, Steem has become a very popular token. If on Facebook and Twitter you are not awarded for your posts, staying active here, you can really earn cryptocurrencies.

Actually, there is only one small problem here. You can sign in for free for 2 weeks only. Then, you have to pay.

As someone who publishes notes sometimes it's always better to do on verified well-known cources: Medium, Reddit..so on. When I am ready to monetize the contect generated I'll need to be an editor at the zine or news site.. but it's next to impossible for me.

Reddit's been pretty dull lately. Just weekly top token threads or top alts to buy subreddits... for the most part.

There is no other platform besides Bitcointalk that I read to find information about crypto. Whether it's about ICO or IEO projects.

There's also cool thing I found: monetization of content which is cool I guess. Of course not everyone is ready to pay for his articles but in other fields it was monetized a long time ago...so why not?

Steemit is no longer for bounty hunters...same with Medium. To find some decent content is more than a trial now so I'm on the forums' users side.

The ambassador program is worth mentioning, too. As a person with much of an audience, this could be a great way of getting more money.  I mean if it is really just dubbling the content onto the platform.. $25G in btc is worth it.

I used bounty hive, bounty0x, icobench, even though I got a good rating, but all of them didn't guarantee 100% success.  my advice, do not overestimate the rating you better analyze yourself before investing in a new project

I am not using crypto social platforms because still we do not have any good one. Why I should use these alternatives when there is no advantage, no profit, only some cents.

we have make our own observation and compared it with ico site review.so if there is differences it will not significant, and we could decided work on this campaign or not.some telegram group also provide this services too.

No, I don't agree upon that. At all. Plus there exist multiple platforms to help monitize user gerated context, say, the above mentioned Steemit or Taklimkan.

I think that people use them because they can not do anything else, and so it is easier. I also do not use such platforms and I think that this is a waste of time

I read everything that comes into view.  I compare news from different sites and platforms, draw conclusions.  But these are mostly well-known platforms, good news from Cointelegraph.com and chat rooms in Telegram.

comparation between ico review site and our own analisys will give best result.each of analisys has the weakness and by combining it will complete each other and give less risk of failed in projects.but it will take more our time.

They used it in hope that it will soon bring a good decent benefits as there's always possibilities and if fate destined such platforms to succeed, those cents can turned into much higher valuations, some might use alternatives platforms to also learned or to explore much deeper from this industry, as there's a lots of potential learning experiences if you really aiming to achieved more,

I check many crypto social platforms but never found any platform which can give more information than Bitcointalk. This is the best Crypto social platform where you get every information updated regularly.
