22nd November 2009. Satoshi created a forum called "Bitcointalk". 10 Years ago.

[Pearls Before Swine]

I haven't been a member of bitcointalk for all that long, but I'm glad I am and I'm very happy the forum exists.  It would be extremely hard to form and maintain a community based on a form of magic internet money if there wasn't a site where people could gather and exchange ideas.

The other thing I'm grateful for is that there is a *lot* of freedom here in terms of what members can write.  I have seen cries of 'censorship!!' before, but there really isn't a lot of that going on.  Bitcointalk wouldn't be half as attractive to a lot of members if controversial ideas were stifled or even foul language.  The moderators have a tough job to begin with, but they don't overdo it when it comes to deleting posts.  Mostly what they delete are very low value ones.

So happy anniversary, bitcointalk!  Glad to be here.

It has been a great 10 years for bitcointalk. I may not be a part of this forum from the very beginning, I am really glad that I have been a part of this. I've learned a lot especially when I'm still starting at cryptocurrency, thanks to this forum.  As well as discovering new things... I hope for more years to come for bitcointalk and more members to come too.

What a shame that something started with the idea of FREEDOM, has turned into this.   Censorship here in this forum is rampant !!!  Any opinion that goes against the narrative of those wanting to pump up the price of Bitcoin is deleted, moved, locked, or otherwise killed.    Sure isolated posts that may detract from the price of Bitcoin are tolerated as long as they are reply's in a positive thread...  So some dissent is tolerated as long as it does not get to much attention.

THE MOMENT I POST A TOPIC THAT gains a lot of views and responses, it is KILLED using a number of various ways.

Even greedy, corrupt Wall Street allows the risks of investments to be published.   The Bitcoin forum is more corrupt and censured than the worst of wall street, and governments....  I have never been so heavily censored until I joined and started posting in Bitcointalk.org    Satoshi would be very disappointed about this.  But most people are greedy, and would never let something like freedom or the truth get in the way of their plans of getting rich by pumping the price of bitcoin.

YOU CAN NOT HAVE FREEDOM WITHOUT FREE SPEECH....    If the people you are investing with are censoring, and preventing you from getting information they do not like, you should RUN AWAY.   Honest money and investments is not afraid of free speech and truth.

Nobody care in 2009 Nov, we’re all addicted to online gaming, and downloading anime, why we should care about it now? Because we all loss interests on gaming and anime?

I don't think that has to do with anything, albeit it might pertain Luke-Jr lol.

Why? I still like my games and anime. Only time gets in the way, but when i find a moment, i go to them!

I didn't learn about the birthday in Wikipedia, there is a quite conspicuous link in the header of this forum up:

News: The forum is 10 years old today!

Pointing to the official birthday thread...

Congratulations 10 years Bitcointalk.org. The best forum for crypto information and discussion forums about Bitcoin. Already many members of this forum produced by following the Bounties project. Hopefully this forum is getting better in front.

[gabmen]

I've been here quite a while now and I'm not aware that it was Satoshi himself who started this. Anyways, cheers for getting this long. It's gone a long way since the first time I've come across the forums. And a lot has happened already. Happy to say that I've learned a big chuck of what I know now from the discussions here about Bitcoins and Alts. Hopefully we get many more years from bitcointalk

[danherbias07]

We all know we learned a lot here so this forum is like our bitcoin wikipedia.
It is not just about bitcoin but also how to be a good trader and even learning about economics.

It is all here. Even being a human being or a strong and a wise man.
This forum made me something which I am not before and I love it.
Some user may have different point of view and they clash for most of the times but we are still a family here.

Congratulations to the bitcointalk forum for having such a wonderful decade.

[Oasisman]

It's amazing feeling to be part of the first community for cryptocurrency enthusiasts celebrating its decade of success right? Well, everyone around here is feeling the same way too.
Anyway, there's an active discussions regarding this topic in the meta section, a thread created by Theymos

HERE

You can express your gratitude over there, as It is the appropriate section for this topic.

if satoshi created this forum this forum should be dead and no longer active like other project sites if the owner dies usually the site will die too, but this isn't dead and it's been 10 years, I still ask if this forum was entrusted by Theymos and others, I'm sure they can still communicate with Satoshi right now, so I'm a little doubtful about this question?
happy birthday to bitcoin, long life

[xvids]

Wow it has been 10 years since this forum was created.
I think most of us are thankful that we found this forum and it helps us a lot to understand crypto currency.
I think where ever Satoshi is right now he/she or they are proud of what he have created both BTC and this forum.

[Fappanu]

First of all belated 10th anniversary year in our forum.

Thanks and I have been part of the knowledge that has shaped me to better understand bitcoin and altcoin and this is because of our forum. Thanks to the forum and its wonderful invention by Satoshi Nakamoto because of this my life has changed and now have financial freedom, time freedom in my life.

I am a witness to over a million users of the forum and if I am not mistaken it will happened in 2018. Now I just wish the forum would last longer and more and more new people would like to discover bitcoin through bitcointalk.

A lot of benefit for us and bitcointalk gave us an opportunity to know more about blockchain and cryptocurrency so there are no reason to be a none knowledgable about what it is all about. we can improve more with the help of this forum and with that many will reach the words of bitcoin and cryptocurrency wherever they are. just focus on learning and the forum will provide with the help of many users around with experiences that they will share.
