That's right, this forum is the biggest bitcoin forum.
also, you can earn bitcoin/altcoin here, with active on this forum(maybe this is why more people interested with this forum).

if it was really usefull we should, if it was useless then dont

A social media site, specifically dedicated to all cryptocurrencies and crypto-related projects, or other decentralized ideas, would be perfect.

It would not necessarly need to have geek/nerd feeling, i`m sure we could make it a really mainstream social media site if we market it correctly.

We just need a good team to get working on it! Zuckerberg 2.0 for hire...

I vote for yes, cos we should have a Better version of Bitcointalk (didn't mean to replace it)

People would not join it if in case there would be a dedicated place for that simply because most of us here treasure our anonymity, so creating a social media network for us bitcoiners would probably be unsuccessful.

Bitcoiners should not enclose inside "only bitcoin" social places as if we were people with some disease , we need to do the opposite, to infiltrate and get this idea inside the already stablished social networks or places.

I really like diaspora project, even though it's going a little slow.

But most of us here care about our privacy given that bitcoin is related to some shady activities such as transactions on the deep web. If I value my anonymity that much, why would I even care to join a social media to expose myself? That's how most people here thinks.

Yes. This will be helpful for all of us !

You means new forum template of bitcointalk? i ever see about new template/software about this forum.

But i personally comfortable with this forum now, because this is simple and don't need more bandwith to open the forum.
as far as i see other bitcoin social network site is use cool website template and need more bandwith to open it, but they unsuccessful in the end.

Could a few million facebook users gather in one group and put pressure on facebook to incorporate bitcoin?

I do not see any reason to as why not, a petition could be good too towards current social networks to incorporate it

I have joined with some bitcoin group, but mostly they just do a spam with their reff link. this is not effective. as far as i see zapchain is other nice place to discuss about bitcoin or cryptocurrency, besides this forum. and also they have earning system.

Because the forum is for discussion.

a website or section of a website that is used for public discussion of a specific topic and on which users can submit or read messages:

The social media site is for befriending eachother and getting to know other people, and build up friends in the crypto world.

Its much easier to organize if you have friends. For example if you get like 30 friends, you can then start a joint project for some bitcoin idea, would be more easy than to get 30 volunteers in this forum.

It is similar to what Ripple tried when they entered the Crypto currency scene. Link your social media account and real identity for everyone to know how much money you have and what you are spending it on.

I did not sign up for Bitcoin to tell the world, what I spend my money on daily. Why do they need to know what I bought and where I bought it from? Thank you, but no thank you.

[Samperio]

Okay, only so many people would ever use bitcoin, just as so many transactions would be possible in a given period of time.

As it has been hinted, we've got to reach out to other people to give diversity and foster innovation (if not in bitcoin's tech or paradyne, yes on its implementation). That would probably not be the case in a bitcoin-centered social network. Sure, in such a network new ideas might come out, and yes, it's as vulnerable to bad intentions and flooding as bitcoin itself.

That phrase mentioned every once in a while regarding that people in bitcoin are their own enemies comes to mind. Okay, you had a great idea, developed critical mass for a project, etc.... now, how do you convince all prospective clients/users to get engaged with the project you developed? There would be the challenge. Not exactly what was asked here, but I did express my vote for "no", no need for a btc social network.

I hate all social networks and what one of the feature I like best about BTC is that's nearly anonymous. Having my picture behind my BTC address is the last thing I want. And I'm not saying that because I'm using BTC for buying illegal stuff, I just like my privacy.

Privacy of our users is the first thing to protect in a network to come.
so don't worry. Nobody's going to see your real face if you don't want to.
Perhaps we need to see how we can use this AI-enabled technology to handle photos the way the users like to:

What do you make of it?

[cryptosluck]

I think it will be a good idea to have such a social network especially for the cryptocurrency users. Telegram has been a great success by starting a messaging app.

[jahn_quid]

Looks like a pretty strong 'no' for now

How about a social information network that would directly connect users to crypto “influencers” or anyone really knowledgeable in crypto. They can get rewarded for their services

And i am not talking about being rewarded with an in-app token created by the developers but actually BTC ETH and maybe a few other cryptos accepted by the influencer.
