If core bitcoin community moved from Bitcointalk to Reddit then..

If Bitcointalk is dead because "core bitcoin community moved from Bitcointalk to Reddit" then
who are all these people now having discussions on Bitcointalk? Asking for a friend..

How you can think it will happen? Do you take own research?
What makes them think to choose Reddit? Is it better than Bitcointalk for the Bitcoin community?

Core Bitcoin community must consider many things before thinking to move to Reddit.
Bitcointalk already provided all things that Bitcoin communities need and with very easy access.
Moreover, it has been trusted for years and almost no big problems here.
So, I don't see big reasons for the core Bitcoin community to move to Reddit.

"If core bitcoin community moved from Bitcointalk to Reddit then.." it will result to chaos since Reddit cannot handle efficiently the total amount of information from bitcointalk since its creation. Moreover the idea of migrating all existing data from bitcointalk to reddit is ridiculous!

Actually Bitcointalk is so important, even Altcoins don't dare launch without an official Bitcointalk Announce thread. Next to it, Reddit is irrelevant, it doesn't matter if someone makes or not a subreddit of the specific altcoin.

Even if Bitcointalk was to be moved (perhaps because forum software change) it wouldn't go into Reddit in particular.

I think there is a big market that will always stay with Bitcointalk. Of course, there are other platforms where Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are also being talked about and this forum is not claiming exclusivity and in fact we should believe that the more the merrier. In case, people (especially developers) can be leaving this forum I am there can be some who are also coming. Only time can tell if OP's prediction can be coming true.

Have you seen the number of users in this forum  , am not sure what exactly you mean by if 'core bitcoin community ' move to reddit because reddit and bitcointalk are totally different forum, there are a lot of activities to be engaged in on this forum so whether core bitcoin community move or not this forum will continue to exist and strong.

[bitbunnny]

I don't know why would anyone do that. Reddit isn't as near so good as this forum is. In fact, I think that bitcointalk is the best currently available place for Bitcoin community to share knowledge, information and experiences. Also it's very well moderated, administrated and maintained which is allso very important. So, I don't see any reason at all why would anyone choose reddit over bitcointalk.

This forum will never just go away for the following reasons :

1. It is a treasure trove of information on Bitcoin
2. It contains original posts and discussions with Satoshi Nakamoto.
3. It is a good source of advertisement income for the stakeholders.
4. It provides for a platform where normal Bitcoin users can receive bitcoin for their contributions <Sig and Bounty campaigns>
5. It is very helpful resources for newbies.
6. It is a global platform, where people can interact in their own language and with their own people.
7. It is not a scam site. <Yes, some scams have been launched here, but the moderators act quickly when it is discovered.>

Why would a brilliant resource like this, just die?

It is impossible to integrate all the functionalities of Bitcointalk to Reddit, including the Merit system, Activity, Ranking.etc. Moving to Reddit means that the old users who have been around for a while will lose their seniority.  The trust system will be in shambles. So I don't think that this is ever going to happen. Individual users or small groups may boycott Bitcointalk and move to Reddit, but the majority is going to stay here.

reddit already has a more advanced "merit system" and it had it for years! it is the voting system that all topics and comments have. it is more advanced because you can both upvote and downvote any post there instead of just upvote (giving merit) and also it has the ability to sort comments based on the most upvoted.

none of this has anything to do with going to reddit instead of bitcointalk though. i don't know what OP is talking about!

I find Reddit a piece of shit. It astonishes me that it's so popular considering how agonisingly unwieldy it is. I find it impossible to find half remembered posts from 12 hours ago sometimes, let alone years.

It feels like one of those things that's tolerated simply because it's been around for so long but if you proposed it today you'd get punched in the tits for the mediocrity of your proposal.

If the community ever really did go full Reddit I'd leave the community to it for good.

Same here. I hate how some valuable posts get downvoted and disappear, just because people don't agree with them. This doesn't make them spam, nor trolling, they are just controversial and this gives the majority the right to make them disappear. How should we call it? The Reddit democracy?
That's not even half of the problems I have with Reddit. Even the structure of threads and replies is annoying. You can't see everything and simply scroll down one by one, no, they had to make it more difficult.

A positive reward system like upvoting and meriting is great, but allowing for downvoted posts to be hidden is negative and abusive IMO. I wouldn't call what we have on Reddit more advanced.

The quality of posts on reddit is not much better than btt tbh. I'd say it is worse. BTT became a sig spammers' nest in the last few years but the new ranking system is hopefully going to fix this.

Have you even ever been to reddit? The comments section is pretty much all memes and unrelated shit.

[rdluffy]

I don't see Reddit as good as this forum to handle such kind of information, the structure here is way better
But talking about importance of btc devs, it's something to think about, yes, sure

My two cents, this forum have the most important community of cryptos and will be the most trustable and important for a long time, everyday we have new stuff to become a better forum, and with this system of rankings make this the best place to post and participate

Oh, and mr Satoshi founded here

Do you take own research?

OP somehow did his research and you can see in his previous reply (quoted below) why he/she initially thought of that.

Where did you get that impression? I’d genuinely be interested in knowing the arguments that back the assertion stated in the OP, as well as the scope of "core" in it’s context.

I got this impression from several sources. Some related to tracking sentiment on Bitcoin generally for prospective investors. Others for marketing and promoting ICO and STO projects.
And in Feb there was a piece about a third of referrals dropping in one month to bitcointalk.org

Have you even ever been to reddit? The comments section is pretty much all memes and unrelated shit.

It's not that there are no memes and unrelated shit here but yes, those types of comments is what I usually see on reddit.

Absolutely true! And to be honest the forum is a very valuable and premier knowledge-base in all things crypto! I humbly admit that

I owe a lot of what i had learned on this forum and still continues to enjoy having an everyday learning experience with it and not

on any other social media platforms like reddit which up to now I find that its not even user friendly to ordinary users just like me.

[shoreno]

I don't see Reddit as good as this forum to handle such kind of information,

reddit is one of the top sites these days . they cant become top if they arent good right ?  but i can see reddit as a general forum and dont foccus on one topic  . while bitcointalk forum only foccus on bitcoin or cryptocurrency but there is also an off topic for some small general discussion   .

but let say if btc devs or satoshi himself chose reddit , then no problem with that  . we can still have those healthy discussions on there .

There must be a reason why people will move out here, everything is going great here, nothing I can't think of I dread that if it will happen, I still prefer forum, I am more familiar on a forum structure compare to Reddit, and I'm pretty sure many shares the same opinion, so I just look for the next big forum if ever that happen, but that is still far fetched.

[Distraction]

I don't think that Bitcointalk forum is bad. It is still doing very good. But I can't say the same thing for 'Bitcoin Discussion' section. It lost its quality on a large scale compared to the old times.

[dnprock]

I create and launch an altcoin. I find that bitcointalk is the most welcoming and diverse community. Other communities are plague with extreme views, tribal and herd mentality. I got down voted on reddit and mostly ignored. Some Bitcoin Core developers are scammy and dumb just like everyone else. People moving off bitcointalk to other communities has an advantage. There's less scam on bitcointalk.

[pixie85]

I hope it won't. Bitcointalk has it's special climate. I like being here despite this forum being a little too basic and too simple. There are some really great forums with features chats emoticons but bitcointalk is still popular and has its charm. I prefer it over reddit.

I don't think the community would move to reddit. They would ask for a new forum that would be only about cryptocurrencies. I'd rather stop using forums than move to reddit.

[Sirait]

I think this forum will never stop! your approximations about this forum is  totally wrong! this platform is the best platform for know about crypto-currencies world and discussion about world of crypto-currencie.   

This forum will never stop. as you said "this forum is the best platform for knowledge about cryptocurrencies and discussion about the world of cryptocurrencies"

I don't think there is another place that is better than here, another place just to complement IMO

[kecha1]

Part of the community has already moved to Reddit, but nevertheless, in fact, nothing has changed. Now 2 community and in this there is nothing bad
