Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Actually it's worth more then that even. You might laugh but it has huge amount of people and number one forum in this area.
I think they have already spent over a million dollars for forum upgrade... so shows worth more then that.

That's just something estimated based on the number of visitors and the Alexa rank and domain age etc ... It should worth much more and even more if we were using Google Adsense for example but iidk , I guess theymos prefer staying secure (not using JS) then getting hacked because of the money (which is the wise and good thing to do )

i think it was worth more in the past, now it's a bit less, if it wasn't for signature campaign you would see almost no traffic here and many newbie are just alt of hero member that feed themselves, instead in the past especially with doge, there were numerous genuine new members

If they can justify such a large portion of money to upgrade, then there is proof of a continued use of site. There just is not another site like this out there in bitcoins. It is unique, and unique brings money. |

those estimation sites are absolutely worthless and by no means an indicator.
traffic & google/alexa ranks are nice, but the userbase alone is worth way more than that.

Yeah you are write. Those estimations are only software based While looking in other sites, according to Webuka bitcointalk worth 341 784 USD and according to worthofweb it goes a huge up to $38 Million dollar which seems preety crazy  |

Assuming each of the 8 paid ad slots get 2.5 BTC per auction then the forum would get 20 BTC per auction period. If you were to assume ads would stay up exactly 10 days at a time then its revenue would be roughly 730 BTC per year. After deducting moderator payments it would have 547.5 BTC leftover, hosting is covered by one ad slot to PIA. I am not sure how much the forum spends on things like security bounties, capital expenses, DDoS protection, but I figure it would be no more then 10% of revenue. That would leave 474.5 BTC in profit per year.
I am not sure what an appropriate discount rate to use is though. Even though the forum has been around for several years now, I think it would be considered a small business for valuation purposes (plus it has solidly under $1,000,000 in annual revenue). Stable, more established small businesses might fetch valuations with a 30% discount rates, while other more risky businesses (especially those in controversial industries) might fetch valuations in excess of 100%. I don't think a 100% discount rate (or higher) would be appropriate for the forum though.
This would value the forum at somewhere between 527 and 1580 BTC.
The forum is not currently very monetized as theymos could easily increase revenue of the forum without major distraction and still keeping the forum a desirable place. I think the reason he doesn't do that is because he thinks of the forum as belonging to the community and it would be difficult to reinvest that much money into the forum or to the Bitcoin ecosystem.

There is much more money invested to this forum than those numbers alone. We haven't seen the million dollar software upgrade in this forum yet, so that adds up to the value of this forum, not to mention that this forum alone gets a huge number of traffic per day. The forum also holds a large number of user base. Those prices are low, tbh.

I wonder what they will spend 1 million on? Seems like a lot for a forum upgrade. |

The additional traffic is actually good if you're a buyer, you can flood the site with ads and make money |

If someone bought the forum i would probably stop using it or start using it with caution, the buyer could have malicious intents and he could do a lot of bad things if he was in control of this forum

I wonder what they will spend 1 million on? Seems like a lot for a forum upgrade. A lot indeed. Added functionality, security, and other features should be expected on this million dollar forum upgrade. The due date already passed but we haven't heard anything again in regards with the forum upgrade. If you want to check out the developments with the forum upgrade, see here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=167.0 |
