Bitcoin Forum

More and more new projects are born. For a successful project, the bitcointalk forum is an important step in promoting the project. So why does bitcointalk not issue its own coin to manage and make requests for projects to post on the forum. Like a project running IEO on exchanges, bitcointalk acts as the exchange for the purpose of minimizing phishing projects. Help forum remove spam messages

In my limited knowledge, this forum was made by Satoshi himself, that is why this forum is so famous and an authoritative figure in the crypto space, therefore why need a new coin? Many members are constantly working on bitcoin core and developing it and making it better.

That will be an out of hand to my own opinion as this forum is called bitcointalk and dont need any other coin to be issue so as that will even distabilize the forum and what will the token be use for and why would it be created in first instance , so I dont support or think it will be a good idea to have such to this forum .

Indeed, you can look at this first thread made by Satoshi - Welcome to the new Bitcoin forum! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5.msg28#msg28) so for short BITCOIN is already the coin of this forum and besides, this forum is not just a place to make money before it originated to give knowledge and more information about bitcoin to people so I don't see any reason to create bitcointalk coin for the purpose of advertisement. The admin of this forum are doing their best to maintain the quality of the forum, and I guess they know what is the best for the forum itself.

This forum supported a token project called Howey.
Your idea is to fully monetize this forum whereby new ICO/ieo and sto projects needs to pay in order to create a new announcement thread but this will reduce the forum popularity as time pass on because human being likes anything that worth fortunes but come free or extremely cheap.

because bitcointalk is not a company to issue its own token and the owners of this forum are not desperate for money nor are they scammers to run an ICO raising funds to do absolutely nothing except increase the number of shitcoins by one.

it does not need a coin because this is where bitcoin foundation started. this form was created to inform, interact with the community about bitcoin. the forum coin is the number cryptocurrency which is bitcoin. there is no need getting another coin

On a lighter note btt coin can provide more services like buying merit points in exchange of btt coins and also buying higher ranks with its coins. On a serious note i do not think that this forum needs a coin as it is a discussion board and we should not push it other corners.

What is the reason for a new coin, it is a bitcoin board and bitcoin is our coin, some are creating all these shit coins does not mean that we need to have a separate coin for the board too. Not sure how a new project will reduce spam messages and minimize phishing projects, people here are trying their best to counter that for free and are you telling to collect millions and start a project just because everyone is doing that ::).

This had been discussed a few times and with the evolving technology, it would not be a surprise if the forum comes up with its own tokens.
The merit system could be made decentralized, not exactly as such but a complex rewarding system. It could further make it easier to manage the merits. As long as the trust system works and the account data managed by the administrator, there would be no abuse of it.

You can get the reason why bitcointalk was created from the name itself,its for bitcoin so no need for another token and what will be the purpose if there is some.

Bitcointalk is a private forum which helping the crypto related people for their needs and also it is gaining fuds from the advertisement slots so I feel there is no need for new token.

They are the official representative of Bitcoin, so why to set up one, why make things complicated, they are already making money from advertisement and about spam post, we already have moderators who take care of that, look at the issue on Stake.com campaign they are addressing it because so many spams is coming on that bounty, this is according to reports not mine.

You mean to say we will be part of a pump-and-dump? No, I don't think that Theymos will allowed such things to happen because of negative effects in can bring to this community.

And besides, this community will thrive from donations and ads from different members here. If Theymos wanted to remove spam messages here, he could simply stop all bounties campaigns.

If they make their own coins then this would not be a forum anymore. This will be more like a site in which they manage the promotion of new projects. This forum is made for New comers to learn and explore more about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency and not intended to regulate new projects.

Well it has been discussed before, but AFAIK Theymos decided against it.
You should still be able to find the thread in the Meta boards, but I can't seem to find it myself :P

You can see what the bitcointalk name is = talk bitcoin or talking about BTC and the development of industries related to BTC. A separate coin I thought was not good for this community that favored BTC as the spear of the forum. AFAIK the main point of the forum is to discuss and share knowledge for the development of cryptocurrencies, but for the progress of the forum I agree and give it to those who take care of this.
Ps- If I'm wrong please let me know ;)

Well, I think this has been a topic before and there will be no bitcointalk coin or anything that's related to it. This is "BITCOINtalk" and you already see that there's one specific coin that the forum supports and that is no other than bitcoin.

Bitcointalk's purpose isn't to create its own token or promote altcoins though it became a home for cryptocurrency because this is the main forum. But what you are thinking will not happen for now.

Think of it in this way, the forum was built mainly to discuss issues relating to bitcoin and from the forum's name Bitcointalk you should get the idea the forum already has a coin and it's Bitcoin. The forum doesn't moderate altcoin so there isn't a need for what you just suggested. Every project is free to create an ANN thread or carryout a bounty campaign on the forum, it's left for you as an investor to invest wisely, the forum doesn't moderate scam either.

The forum was created for Bitcoin-related communication. And the point is to release another coin to accept payments. Already have a large number of ready-made solutions.

I do not really like the idea of different platforms that was established for a different purpose deciding to have their own coin, this is making the space to look somewhat unserious and bastardised, seeing some platforms like Facebook and telegram doing this pisses me off. Soon Twitter, Whatsapp and co will join

They will need a solid team for this Theymos can't handle it by himself and even the DT members are having a hard time to keep this forum clean as you can see it would need a lot of work and this forum is a forum not an exchange this supposed to be an open forum to everyone to discuss. An advertisement might be suitable for forum but an exchange or implementing a new coin, I think it would need a lot of work to make that happen.

The name of this forum is Bitcointalk it's all about Bitcoin, if they are going to release their own coin people will have confusion on what coin they are primarily supporting, it's like turning their back to Bitcoin and one of the founder of this forum Satoshi Nakamoto, so it's better that they do not.

Isn't theymos just try to give a lesson to the ico participants to be careful with any ico they involved with?

If you are watching the whole of howey thread and that just like a joke coin that created to test the awareness of the ico participants but so many people could even understand the purpose of that coin.

As far as I know the forum was created at the same time as bitcoin. This implies that most likely the forum was created by Satoshi Nakamoto. The forum has a coin and it is called bitcoin.

Because bitcointalk is not running by crooks and they don't want to add another shitcoin to ecosystem just to fill their pockets.

This is a good idea, but in this case, this forum will turn into a commercial project and will lose its value. I think that the forum does not need it

I can't dispute the fact that bitcointalk contribute to the success of a project but creating a new coin is not needed, there is satoshi already it's being requested for on bitcointalk in order for some btt account to be able to post.

I agree with you . This forum is now well known and this is where Satoshi released Bitcoin for the first time in this market, so issuing new coins is unnecessary. I think this should only be a place to discuss issues around this market because this is the best source of knowledge for me. Maybe this is a good idea but I will not support the issue of coins in this forum because it does not help much in investing.

What will make Bitcointalk's created coin different from the other coins in the market, I don't see the point of creating one, this is Bitcoin forum and they just allow altcoins discussions here, it will create contradiction and it might create confusion and lost trust.

I actually dont see any reason for bitcointalk administrators to have their own coin. I dont think it will make any sense because bitcointalk is not a company, its a forum where everything about cryptocurrency are being discussed. I believe the administrators know what's good for this platform than coming up with its own coin.

It would be a great idea, because they have a working product for a long time and even members are so valuable on this forum. I cannot even imagine how good a BTT coin is going to be, so it is the question to the admins.

Though there are some forums that have their own coins but their motive behind it is to motivate users to post more on  the forum. Bitcointalk forum members are driven by internal motivation so I wonder what the use case of the coin will be.

I think this forum is only for discussion about cryptocurrency.
For sale method it will occur on the current exchanges.

What is the name of the forum? Bitcointalk, this forum was created by the creator of bitcoin so the official coin of the forum is and it will always be bitcoin and until recently only bitcoin was accepted for any payment that you needed to pay to the forum, so the forum does not really need to release its coin for several reasons, the first is that the coin this forum recognizes is bitcoin, you can discuss other coins but bitcoin is the only coin with a section dedicated to it while the rest of the coins are just altcoins.

And second why will the administrator of the forum create its own coin? If anything he will be participating in the diluting of the value of bitcoin in which altcoins participate.

It is possible that bitcointalk was under bitcoin as a part of their development in the project, like a community center. So bitcointalk having its own coin would be impossible although would have been cool

The answer is very simple. Bitcointack is just a regular informative forum but not a project, and then the question arises: why do they need a separate token? I will answer you he does not need them because there is no need to create it.

BitCoin is considered the forums cryptocurrency. What needs to be done though is coding the bitcoin in the forum software and include inbuilt tipping, wallets,  buying and selling etc.
Hopefully this is done one day.

Maybe your post will be seen, and soon, we will really meet Bitcointalk coin. The idea seems to be very interesting. This token can have a good future as this site is extremely popular all over the world. Personally, I would invest in it.

bitcoin is not owned by bitcointalk forum alone but bitcoin is owned by satoshi nakamoto and as far as i know  , satoshi didnt owned this forum  .  the forum is already built before crypto or satoshi appeared  . satoshi only posted on this forum to promote his creation which is  bitcoin and until people realize the true worth of bitcoin , people keep crawling here and they trying to find the profile of satishi in order to honor him .


there is already a marketplace section here in the forum  but there is no built in tip feature . you can still tip the person via thier desired wallet / address .

If there is any coin that needs the help from this forum its still bitcoin ,btt forum is very popular because satoshi himself was here very early after bitcoin was created by him but creating a specific coin for btt forum is really not needy

I believe that there are already so many coins on the market that it is simply not necessary and nothing new can be invented. I am sure that you can choose the best coin from those that exist and develop it to invest it and it can bring profit

Even if Bitcointalk wanted to issue its own coin, what would be its purpose, the meaning of the coin in general, if there was an idea, its own coin would not hurt

Theymos has enough money and enough problems on his head to be thinking about an ICO now. There was supposed to be a new forum launched years ago and they couldn't even finish that. What makes you think they would be able to handle a token release. If this failed the forum's reputation would suffer and that's a lot at stake.

ICOS are a big pain in the ass if you want to do it the right way and comply with the regulations and bitcointalk isn't a company to launch an IEO.

If am not mistaken, I believe that bitcointalk was created for a purpose and it doesn't involve  creating it's own coin as if it does the sooe purpose of bitcointalk existence will be defeated . But lets keep watch and see what the future holds

This would honestly not be a bad suggestion, because most of these scam and bad projects are found of taking advantage of the fact that Bitcoin is very free to use and then promote their shitcoins, I pray it won’t get to a point where people will pick on bitcointalk for allowing these types of projects which you are indirectly even doing, for it to get to this stage of advising them LOL.

The only challenge I might see with this is that it might be a little bit difficult for them to manage because it’s a forum, and they have different sections where anyone can just talk about a coin even in comment, people are not getting to know about a coin alone is the space permitted, but in other forums too.

I think that the administration is now very good living on the remains of bitcoin. Do you think they make a small profit from the ubiquitous advertising? This forum need adequate community and not a weak coin.

well i dont think it will be neccessary to make a coin and i dont think bitcointalk have a authority and capability to select which project is not a scam. I do believe bitcointalk is made for discussion of cryptocurrency and promoting is one of thing that we can do in bitcointalk but still i dont see any use for bitcointalk to make their own coin and for scam project problem i believe we got better institution like SEC and regulations that reducing the scam ico.

  Binance is also a good exchange but they have been using wise ways to make the users make use of their own coin and earn a discount if they are trading Bitcoin on the exchange. So it is not a bad idea for them to have a coin that could help them market with more ease. The forum could enjoy economy of scales here. But even if it does not do so, it would still do well.

Because bitcointalck is not an investment project, it is a forum, this is why.

This is simply because bitcointalk is a general decentralized crypto forum and not an investment platform or project. Well, it's not entirely a bad idea, there is some sense in the body of your "proposal". The developers here know what's best for the forum, let's allow them bother about a coin if necessary.   

This site did produce a coin.  It's called Bitcoin.

Of what utility will the coin serve? This is the question hundreds of crypto projects has failed to answer, they only care about issuing coins that has little to no use case in their ecosystem.
