2.) Send BTC to a forum user
3.) receive BTC from forum user[/b][/center]
These two has been discussed if I can remember correctly.. But the necessity of having such features here is unnecessary IMO.

Regarding fees for public action, it can be a thing in the future to prevent the spam, like there's a fee for evil IP.

Does bitcointalk.org need or gain any use of adding a feature that lets a user create a bitcoin wallet that would serve the following purposes:

1.) Facilitate public actions
Nope, many people don't like it Would it be possible if there was some kind of like button? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5468107.0)

What exactly the purpose is?

If the forum create their own centralized wallet exchange, it kills the Bitcoin decentralization.
If the forum create their own non custodial wallet, it just add unnecessary work, if Electrum and Bluewallet works very well, why we need to shift to other wallet without any reason?

You’re probably wondering why this is in Meta. There are some that feel bitcointalk.org is a social media site, and some categorize it entirely otherwise.
It's a lot of blabla about a rich guy who wants more money.

No. Not your keys, you know the drill. "The forum" doesn't want to hold user funds, and I don't want "the forum" to hold my money.

so far the social media platform that has been most successful in integrating payment systems into their platforms is wechat, i have been to china once and my friends there use wechat for almost all of our purchasing activities, such as going to restaurants, taking taxis, buying souvenirs, etc. and when i had this experience, i saw that the integration of payment systems on social media platforms was very helpful for users, especially for those who travel frequently and are too lazy to carry cash. they only need to scan and all payments can be made from their device.

indeed, issues regarding payment system integration may be adjusted to the regulations of the country concerned. because not all countries want to accept a social media platform to have their own payment system.

The reason why WeChat pay is successful while Applepay or Google pay is not that successful because one is forced by their government to be used by their citizens and others given to us and let us decide whether use it or not.

Most of the transaction moved to digital payments either it's done via banking or third party apps there is not much difference in it.

bitcoin allows communication, in a variety of ways. The software itself can let you talk to others, and it's not just the bitcoin signed messaging. Is bitcoin itself a social network?

Even if it is, no one will actually recognize bitcoin as a social network because it’s not the main purpose of it. Or at least many believe to be so.

Since it is not greatly used by people as a social platform then not a lot of people consider it as such. It is used by many as a way to hold or store money and even make transactions with it. It just so happens that is incredibly valuable that it makes people profit just from holding it. Which is why it’s not prominently known as a social network.
