Didn't know there was a telegram chat on this subject. But I doubt there will be any representatives from Bitfinex to answer any questions regarding the recent hack.
They are steering clear from news media outlet without a lawyer by their side to talk for them. Lips sealed

Actually I've seen PGP (Phil Potter) from @bitfinex multiple times in the past being active on Telegram, not sure if they will hack related questions Telegram,

A full list of telegram groups is available on www.coin.army make sure you check also the local community.

I think they are avoiding the Telegram chat (the Whalepool one) to avoid putting anything in writing. But people (big stakeholders) have apparently been talking to Phil on the phone.

It sounds like the whole "BFXcoin" thing may be real....

Actually they are on telegram, this is their latest announcement:

I think the easiest way to explain to someone about Bitcoin is over an instant messaging app like Whatsapp or Telegram. You can build local Bitcoin communities along with the global ones and direct new users to some of them to get answers to their Bitcoin related questions. This will be a great advantage for the new users, they will be able to ask questions as chatting with one of their friends.

Please let me know what you think and I will write more.

That is actually a great idea, and i think it would be better to create a group on Facebook as it is the largest social network in the world and with the help of that group we (bitcoin users) can also convince other users who do not know anything about bitcoin to use bitcoin and tell them the advantages of bitcoin.

in how many facebook groups you're currently? are you active there, how fast news reach your newsfeed, are there are people available to discuss events as soon as they happen?

this is an interesting idea but from my personal perspective, as long as there is reddit for every topic you can think of and also this forum for bitcoin i never look for any place else.


Yes but new users are not able to find those reddit posts and this group chat will just facilitate you to share some of your knowledge with the begginers.

In fact indirectly bitcoin is being promoted to newbies from many PTC nowadays. They have large user base, mostly from very poor countries like India, Bangladesh etc but many of them are introducing payment via bitcoin to their users. Mostly this is being done by revenue shares disguised as PTC which at least 99% of them fails quite soon with a maximum life of 6 months but what I want to say is that they introduce bitcoin to these people who maybe have never heard about it before. They have a dedicated section about it but the problem is them going offline after 6 months.

By the way the only best way to accommodate beginners to bitcoin is by promoting this very forum heavily. I have done so in a few  other ventures online which I use, other forums not bitcoin related but money related.

See maybe you got this wrong, the idea is NOT to promote Bitcoin. The idea is to keep a communication channel open for beginners, to give them a easy app that they might be already familiar with to be able to ask their questions. I think we can all agree that if someone come and ask any of you, hey what is bitcoin, all of us will spend some time and explain. Check my signature for the telegram username and let's discuss more.

Sounds like a great idea!

But why limit yourself to WhatsApp and telegram? Why not focus on developing the community and network and outreach to those who don't use bitcoin. Any communication technology will serve the purpose of keeping people connected. I think the real challenge is growing the number of people involved in bitcoin, which means we need to talk about it with people who aren't yet familiar. We need to introduce it to them, show them how it works, answer their questions, etc.

Because people are familiar with WhatsApp and Telegram is already being used by some bitcoin communities, there is a list available on www.coin.army I would love to continue this discussion here, but I have a post limit, if interested you can find my telegram username in my signature, send me a message please.

Looking for 5 users to test the concept. Instant payments on Telegram. You will get $1 for this test.

Edit:
Requirements
- You need https://telegram.org/ it's similar with Whatsapp but also available online at http://web.telegram.org
- You need to setup an username in settings. (Your phone number won't be visible to the other members)
- After you are all set, you need to check in with @bitcoinwalletbot, Telebit.org bot that will allow you to receive your payments.

I will post shortly the link to access "The Bitcoin Game".

Probably you know to much but understand too little. We've launched a live game where experienced Bitcoin users compete in helping new ones. We're currently looking for beginners to test the service and write a review about it after.

No question is too dumb! That's what we are here for. However please keep shitposts away.

Thanks for your replies: We can discuss more about this here: https://telegram.me/joinchat/CgPaTD-2kIgR0MJC8-uihw
For those that want to use Telegram from pc, please check https://web.telegram.org
