Why does bitcointalk not issue a separate coin?

[jackblacksparrow]

I believe that there are already so many coins on the market that it is simply not necessary and nothing new can be invented. I am sure that you can choose the best coin from those that exist and develop it to invest it and it can bring profit

Even if Bitcointalk wanted to issue its own coin, what would be its purpose, the meaning of the coin in general, if there was an idea, its own coin would not hurt

Theymos has enough money and enough problems on his head to be thinking about an ICO now. There was supposed to be a new forum launched years ago and they couldn't even finish that. What makes you think they would be able to handle a token release. If this failed the forum's reputation would suffer and that's a lot at stake.

ICOS are a big pain in the ass if you want to do it the right way and comply with the regulations and bitcointalk isn't a company to launch an IEO.

If am not mistaken, I believe that bitcointalk was created for a purpose and it doesn't involve  creating it's own coin as if it does the sooe purpose of bitcointalk existence will be defeated . But lets keep watch and see what the future holds

More and more new projects are born. For a successful project, the bitcointalk forum is an important step in promoting the project. So why does bitcointalk not issue its own coin to manage and make requests for projects to post on the forum. Like a project running IEO on exchanges, bitcointalk acts as the exchange for the purpose of minimizing phishing projects. Help forum remove spam messages

This would honestly not be a bad suggestion, because most of these scam and bad projects are found of taking advantage of the fact that Bitcoin is very free to use and then promote their shitcoins, I pray it won’t get to a point where people will pick on bitcointalk for allowing these types of projects which you are indirectly even doing, for it to get to this stage of advising them LOL.

The only challenge I might see with this is that it might be a little bit difficult for them to manage because it’s a forum, and they have different sections where anyone can just talk about a coin even in comment, people are not getting to know about a coin alone is the space permitted, but in other forums too.

I think that the administration is now very good living on the remains of bitcoin. Do you think they make a small profit from the ubiquitous advertising? This forum need adequate community and not a weak coin.

well i dont think it will be neccessary to make a coin and i dont think bitcointalk have a authority and capability to select which project is not a scam. I do believe bitcointalk is made for discussion of cryptocurrency and promoting is one of thing that we can do in bitcointalk but still i dont see any use for bitcointalk to make their own coin and for scam project problem i believe we got better institution like SEC and regulations that reducing the scam ico.

  Binance is also a good exchange but they have been using wise ways to make the users make use of their own coin and earn a discount if they are trading Bitcoin on the exchange. So it is not a bad idea for them to have a coin that could help them market with more ease. The forum could enjoy economy of scales here. But even if it does not do so, it would still do well.

Because bitcointalck is not an investment project, it is a forum, this is why.

[deodivine1]

This is simply because bitcointalk is a general decentralized crypto forum and not an investment platform or project. Well, it's not entirely a bad idea, there is some sense in the body of your "proposal". The developers here know what's best for the forum, let's allow them bother about a coin if necessary.   

[daniel244king]

This site did produce a coin.  It's called Bitcoin.

Of what utility will the coin serve? This is the question hundreds of crypto projects has failed to answer, they only care about issuing coins that has little to no use case in their ecosystem.
