Bitcointalk effect on Bitcoin ?

[jacktheking]

Voted for first option. I wont be supporting Bitcoin if there is no opportunity to earn ~40 dollar per month - signature campaign. Other than signature campaign, the only sources of my Bitcoin is faucet and cloud mining. Without signature campaign payment, I wont be able to buy cloud mining power. Thus.. just faucet if there is no Bitcoin.

If I only manage to earn a few cents per week and.. ~50 cents per month.. I rather invest my time on other things.

Are you aware that there are thousands of other ways of earning money? You could earn BTC directly or earn fiat and convert.

If you're honestly here only for the sole purpose of earning your $40/month, then you should consider other options of getting income (part-time, min wage job maybe?).

I never bought anything online with my own money - digital or physical item. I invested zero in Bitcoin. I'm making a monthly income of ~40 USD per month without the need to invest anything - just a few hours daily. I think it is a good way deal for me.

Bitcointalk's main role out here is to educate people who are new about bitcoins. Also the community is so great .
Also many speculation posts help to get an idea on what's going to be the trend of Bitcoin prices.
Also marketplace allows P2P trades which builds bond between users. Nice Concept. Theymos is an awesome guy too.

The general mood of Bitcointalk community is that we are in something big, something that can really shake things up.  Bitcoin is just one baby.

Bitcoin wouldn't die but this place has definitely helped promote bitcoin. It's also a great place to find information and also promote or have a base for your bitcoin business.

affects for good ,Bitcoin would not be so popular without btctalk
btctalk is still one of the best ways to get up to date information on most subjects linked to Bitcoin.

[hunkey600]

agree bitcoin has much popularity from bitcointalk...if you need to work on any area in the field bitcoin bitcointalk is the place where you will most of the users. Every bitcoin program success depends on bitcointalk. Thanks

I think Bitcoin would actually do much better without Bitcointalk.

if bitcointalk will close its doors for whatever reason then other forums will take everything over. bitcointalk has no impact on the price. what you say is complete nonsense.

I think Bitcointalk is helping effecting bitcoin.
Bitcointalk is a place where thousand eye gather. Because of that some company or dice site , dare enough to advertise through this forum as we known as signature campaign. When I got bitcoin it means I'm holding bitcoin. When someone hold bitocoin, bitcoin's price also can be effect.

Without bitcointalk, I think there will be a quite drop of bitcoin price.

I wanted to hear some suggestions and opinions about this , what's the real effect of Bitcointalk on Bitcoin ?
I personally don't think that Bitcoin would be that successfull as it is now if there was no Bitcointalk and a good community that answer our questions .
Also I think that if Bitcointalk goes down (like .. for ever) Bitcoin will probably go down too and lose a lot of users . I know I know you will probably say there is Alternatives like Reddit or other forums but they aren't good as Bitcointalk .

Anyway let me know what do you think about this . [ Added a poll too ]

lol

The forum would have helped initially with Bitcoin but now it has expanded and taken on a life of it's own, I know it would survive quite easily without the forum as great as the forum is. 

[Scamalert]

People here have this idea that bitcointalk = bitcoin.
All the whales and big bitcoin holders, they are not active here.
We are all by small fish in ocean.
Ofcause news spread from here and new shitcoins comes to life.
But to belive that bitcointalk dictate the life of bitcoin would be naive.

Its true that there are thousand eye gathering here and wait some good information that what they should do about their bitcoin. Are they gonna sell or not? No this forum is telling to sell are you really going to sell it? Please answer it for yourself. With this forum exist we just can maintain our stack of bitcoin so it does not affected bitcoin price anyway since the biggest player of bitcoin is from china so I dont think this will do some effect to bitcoin price itself

[saturn643]

of course there many significant discussions in Bitcointalk forum. is an awesome place to find out what is going on in the global Bitcoin community

[pooya87]

the effect of bitcointalk on bitcoin can not be denied. there are a lot of new people who come here everyday to learn more about bitcoin and get involved.

also there are a lot of businesses running here. different goods and digital goods are being sold here. all the different coins official announcements are here.

but if it goes down for good, it would be a tragedy but it is not the end of the world. all of this would be distributed between other forums until one of them becomes popular.

im over a year new to the bitcoin world and yes , it influence me

The effect of bct to bitcoin is sure good enough but that is just limited to only to some speculation not the price not the movement or everthing. So it wont

affect so much to bitcoin whether there are some speculation or not

[grendel25]

There's no doubt in my mind that this forum has benefited bitcoin and those who use bitcoins.  This forum provides a means for commerce and is a huge social venue that has connected many people rather they be experts or are just starting out learning about bitcoin.

However, it's also a microcosm of the larger world in that things aren't always good.  There are criminals looking to scam and they are successful which can also be of detriment to the actual value of bitcoin.  I think this last point is something that's lost on immature criminals.  Fiat is established and can take a heist here or there.  But you take something like Mt Gox and well... you see the result.  Bitcoin is much more volatile and susceptible to negative price trends as a result of criminal activity rather that be here in the forums or in a real exchange.

Bitcointalk is just a small part of BTC world. There are many other forums, there's reddit and there are also bitcoiners which don't care to read any of them.

I disagree, this forum has been a big part in getting a lot of people that are already into bitcoin answers tha cant find elsewhere, problem is there is just so man trolls now, ignore them and you will get the right answer to just about any btc problem you may be having.

As for Reddit, many members of this forum hate reddit and all the stand for so enough said on that.

[JLynn171]

it is actually the opposite way around, if btc died the forum would die not the forum be able to kill a currency
