A few years ago, this forum was as busy as a Bee, with people trying to promote Bitcoin. The price was close to $1000 and people were
dishing out give-aways and doing treasure hunts and Puzzles.. and everyone had loads of fun. Lately, we only see Ponzi schemes and
cloud mining and people trying to take money from other people. Let's see some tipping on forums and Bitcoin Air drops and some active
Bitcoin promotion again, to increase adoption. Let's bring back the good ole days!
There`s no point of promoting bitcoin here,because this is a bitcoin forum.
We should promote bitcoin on social media,youtube and blogs.
Promotion requires investing money and efforts.
That is definitely true, but the point that there were a lot more people on this forum a couple of years ago still stands. That then poses the question of why did so many people leave the forum if Bitcoin was booming at that time.
I was not here at that time, but I have two guesses:
Maybe the old members just evolved.
They became something like the founding generation of bitcoin. Running businsses earning massive money. Maybe they still have connections amongst each other, but they do not need this forum anymore.
My second thought is that they eventually got bored.
Perhaps even because of too many signature campaigns. It is hard to find good posts here when they are hidden in tons of half liners and quotes.
