massive feb visitor collapse in Bitcointalk and Coinmarketcap founding websites

[gabbie2010]

The drop in bitcointalk visitors is because the bounties are becoming increasingly useless with many not paying out, and the ones that do aren't worth anything. Hunters are giving up the game

Yes, it is felt that less discussion topics and a smaller number of participants began to appear on this forum. Many bounty hunters have so far left the forum, for a long time or not - time will show. ICO projects are now experiencing a critical recession and it becomes unprofitable to participate in their few bounty campaigns, especially for those who value their time. I hope that the situation will change when the market starts to grow, and government or public bodies will begin to regulate the activities of ICO.

I checked thorough the bounty thread and going by the number of pages that hunters are posting their daily reports had dropped drastically validating your comment on the numbers of hunters that had left the forum.
In the past I usually counted up to 10 to 15 pages of daily posting of bounty hunters fully participating in the promotion of ICOs its quite unfortunate that bounty campaigns is no longer profitable again and most of the tokens are worthless having take a long time to get listed in an exchange.
I belief that when the market turn bullish then the golden old days of profitable bounty hunting will be restored.

I have no clue what you mean by success with audience decrease
If it decrease then success will become lower right? lol
What's the catch in your statements.

i mean a usefull indicator for successfull predictions. (those could be of course also negative)

As fewer people start good ico projects less investors will sign up and fewer bounty hunter post messages. When the market goes back up, so will better ico projects and then hunters will return in hope for better layouts

Regarding bitcointalk visitors, quality over quantity, I remember when there were double digit pages on every thread in this Bitcoin discussion sub filled with shitposts. Nowadays, it's much better that.

nope there is the issue that the bitcoin club will diminish to a smal cult of "coiners" that insult all altcoins.

the shift is from how serious they are being taken

Doesn't make it any more factually accurate, though, does it.  The traffic is clearly closely monitored.  I don't see any cause for alarm.

Btw, Theymos provided some accurate stats in a thread in the Meta section.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5120663

That's nonsense data, an estimate from a Web analytics company based on who-knows-what.

The real data shows for example:
 - Late February 2018: ~3.51 million total ad impressions per day
 - Early January 2019: ~3.44 million total ad impressions per day
 - Late February 2019: ~3.41 million total ad impressions per day

Source: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5120663.msg50162726#msg50162726

So the figures they've presented for Bitcointalk at least are inaccurate.

I do find it interesting how rarely Bitcointalk is referenced by other sites. All the dogshit crypto 'press' prefers Twitter, Reddit or some press release. Threads here are hardly ever picked up on by other users on Twitter or Reddit either. It's been that was for as long as I've been here.

One of the hallmarks of Bitcoin's ultimate success would be for here to slowly fade away until there's only a small hard core left. You don't see people flocking to Androidtalk.org. They just use it.

There'll be many more recent users, particularly alts, who've never been here. They'll go straight to Telegram or Discord or whatever they're called.

in february there was a massive collapse in visitors on coinmarket cap (-15% now only 55 million viewers per month)

and Bitcointalk (-26.44%)

https://www.similarweb.com/website/bitcointalk.org#overview

now only 6.28 M people visit bitcointalk per month, another massive loss last month, last month alone almost half the amount of people left as there are currently still in.

this is usually a good indication for the success chances of bitcoin

regards

Yet for some reason prices are stbale and even growing. It's kinda bullish, shows how those who are willing to stay for a long period of time have enough $$$ to keep the train rollin

IIRC in early 2013 reddit still occasionally referred to Bitcointalk threads. I guess it's been mostly overshadowed by the deluge of shovelware crypto blogs and crypto news sites that followed the 2013 bubble(s) though.

There is no relationship between bitcoin price and visitors on coinmarketcap or even bitcointalk forum, these are simply updates channel and discussion channel respectively.
While I've noticed the drastic reduction in active users here in the forum, I wouldn't actually call it a disadvantage, we could hence have some good discussions as well as reduce or do away with those who want to get rich immediately

put a statistic over both and we can discuss this claim.

there is 100% a correlation

and i am afraid that this forum indicates the future.

because there was first this forum and then there was a bitcoin price.

Their title sounds stupid and proves that most of the crypto related medias are charging an insane amount of money for ads while making low quality content.
The statement that BTT lost a third of its users does not come out of the recent view decrease. Previous numbers can be counted with bots, some others may really visit this forum less frequent but it doesn't mean that they quit it.

Look through this forum once again. Most part of users is talking absolute bullshit and demonstrating their lack of education (and sometimes stupidity). And it worked the same way in 2017 during the bull run.
Retards from this forum do not represent the entire community.

Agree on the guy above .  price does not affect the number of users in the forum or on the coinmarketcap , there is another reason on why the users decline because maybe they are busy especially on this quarter because they need to foccus on their studies in order for them to graduate  . some are also busy preparing for the summer , they travel out of town and that result for them to go offline for a longer time  .

Well another thing would be the number of spammers and new accounts obviously made just for bounties and campaigns. Some discussions have several irrelevant threads from btctalk users who are only trying to hit the number of posts required from them instead of posting replies that make sense.

[Zadicar]

they are not in bitcointalk, it means that we can have a lot of adoption without needing to be in the forum bitcointalk

Definitely true, even this place is the main community on where bitcoin supporters are in but not all people do able to find the path just necessarily
to visit up.So it means those numbers arent even accurate or doesnt prove anything.We might see big numbers but i doubt that majority of those visitors
arent bitcoin investors but rather they are earners.

you just lie yourself a bubble of reality together here in this forum you dont even care weather your assumptions are true, the climate is more important than whats going to happen.

without a growing big community you cant establish your "bitcoin" as world wide dominating currency, and make the bitcoin miner investment punks the kings of earth.

i dont even say explicitly how mad this idea is, in the first place. i keep you thinking you are sane, because if i would say something else i would get another one of my posts deleted.

[eaLiTy]

i doubt that, without a core founding community, bitcoin is just an empty ghost spread around by mindless american financial institutions. like berry silbert or worse the greedy winklevoss twins.

good luck with that trash, you are becoming nothing but a bunch of jokes

Have you ever considered thinking why there was a core founding community for bitcoin , because they saw the potential in what was presented and the blockchain solved many issues that were presented earlier with double spending without a central trust agency, even satoshi never wanted exposure in the initial stages of the bitcoin core release as he knew that the project would be halted due to political or other reasons before patching everything.
I know several investors who have a huge amount of coins but they are not active here in this forum, some registered an account here but not active but that does not mean that they left bitcoin altogether.
