Non-bitcoin forums discussing bitcoin

[GermanGiant]

There are people that still trash talk bitcoin and say it is a bad investment though. But at least people are talking about it.

What you can expect from people, who are claiming to have sent their bank balance to bitcoin ?

[mayax]

The people from other forums are talking about Bitcoin because BTC is the main e-currency now. Those forums were created long before this forum. They talked about e-gold, osgold and LR in the past.

Almost all the HYIPs, MLM and others moved to BTC. Some of them are called Forex but it's the same...

That's why other "non-btc" forums are  discussing bitcoin. There are no other e-currencies on market who deserve their attention.
BTC is trendy for now

[rychallenge]

some years ago i started such topics and was banned because i talked about bitcoin...so we have an improvement here 

i was looking at phpbb topic...the moderator consider some bitcoin links as spam and most member bias toward silk road news ("bitcoin is for criminal!")
it is sad to see this, we need more bitcoin community, i think, in non-bitcoin forum.

Well, Bitcoin has a bad reputation because it's mainly use for "stuffs/things"

I said mainly and not 100%

[gogxmagog]

bitcoin is being discussed more and more all over the place. one of the problems with new things is that because people dont understand it and they do not like to look ignorant they try and find a way to ridicule it or discredit it. i9ts safer than risking looking foolish, or like someone who has been dazzled by a fad. this is something that a lot of people applied to bitcoin, but it is changing. they are starting to understand the underlying tech and versatility, the basic utility and the advantages of this new tech... they will soon embrace it fully and declare they knew all along, just like everything else.

the movie about the dark web, whereas maybe it wasn't that positive a PR thing for bitcoin, definitely got the conversation going. I was at a family gathering recently and a few relatives were asking me to explain the dark net. they know i'm into btc so they thought id know all about it...

all it says to me is, these things are trickling into the mainstream

Heh I remember when they made a big announcement about the overclock forum saying sorry for all the bans so it's a big improvement.

I hate to talk about bitcoin outside bitcoin-related forums, they always talk/think bad about bitcoin, they even think every bitcoiner is terrorist or criminal
Or they interested in bitcoin, but they often share their refferal links to HYIP, ponzi cloud mining, cloud mining, gambling sites & faucet without tell them details about it. So, many people got scammed because those people

Also, many people who worked at PTC, MLM, HYIP, money games, captcha & others interested in bitcoin & left their old jobs

But I love to. When I write more about bitcoins I gather more attention than my usual topics. Many people now a days pay attention on new technology to show themselves updated on their society or social medias. Over all, bitcoin spreading everywhere rapidly. A good sign.

[Amph]

This is very positive thing happening about Bitcoin to be discussed on various platforms.I also where ever see possibility write little bit about Bitcoin.We all are ambassadors of Bitcoin to take the word as far as we can on all platforms whether they are online or offline.I am glad to see this change what is taking place slowly but steadily.

if they are spreading false info due to their lack of knowledges, then it's not good at all, from what i've read on the web it seems that people still treat bitcoin as investment, only

it does not come through their mind even once, that maybe it was meant to be used as a payment system, they are too accustomed to fiat, i think you need a new generation for changing this..

[Betwrong]

Wow!  It was interesting to read for a change.

Take this for example:

personally, I would suggest that anything to do with bitcoin would be spam at the very least. I doubt seriously if it will even be around much longer considering the attention it is gettin by law enforcement around the world. It is being used extensively for illegal reasons.

and then a reply:

I totally agree with Robert .... It is being used extensively for illegal reasons and it saddens me to see celebrities express their support for it e.g. Sir Richard Branson.

Bitcoin is the perfect way to pay for drugs and weapons when you wish to stay anonymous! Let's help the criminals!!

Maybe we should have an Anti-Bitcoin section in this forum. C'mon! It's fun to read for a change. 

[Djisamsoe]

its really not weird,bitcoin is universal,and everybody know that bitcoin is better.

[Coogan]

It is no wonder that bitcoin forum will discuss bitcoin. But, there are non-bitcoin forum discussing bitcoin. And there are huge amount of misconception being spread.

Well there's nothing new there. The general public are generally quite ignorant on most matters and they only get their news from mainstream media who only really highlight the negative aspects and probably have their own agenda. If they were intelligent and did their own research they wouldn't have such negative opinions.

[jacee]

Most of the forums I've been participating has a dedicated section for cryptocoins auch as bitcoins. Be it a local or an international forum, there is one. Also some discussion forums that don't mainly discuss money making has some people who discuss about bitcoins.

The knowledge of bitcoin has been spreading fast so expect to see it anywhere else. It's a good sign, isn't it?

[Denker]

It is no wonder that bitcoin forum will discuss bitcoin. But, there are non-bitcoin forum discussing bitcoin. And there are huge amount of misconception being spread. I just thought of sharing a few such instances. May be you can add up more or go to the respective forum to help a new bitcoiner to understand bitcoin better.

Someone who is interested in Bitcoin shouldn't have any problems to find this forum here or any other Bitcoin related sources.
When I type Bitcoin in google search bar the links on first site for me are bitcoin.org, bitcointalk.org, bitcoin.com, coindesk ...So no problem to find sources with good and honest content about Bitcoin and therefore no reason to spread out to non Bitcoin platforms.
People who are really interested and want to learn and participate will find us. All the others are just sh**heads talking bs like most of the media out there and have no real interest.

I know what you mean. Talking in public, like in a cafe, with a few friends of mine about Bitcoin, and some others in the cafe hear what I'm talking about I feel their looks.
This shows me that people have heard about Bitcoin. But sadly only the negative things published by media. But everybody I explain and show to how Bitcoin works is really fascinated.However most of them still fear to own a few bits.
Bigger Adoption will take a long long time.But I am patient.
