What effect would this forum vanishing have on your life?

[pooya87]

it would be very disappointing for sure and obviously my weekly income that i am currently making would cease. but the biggest disappointed would be the lack of alternative specially for technical discussions. i guess stackexchange is still a good alternative for that but i never liked their strict rules which is why i have so far only asked one question there and answered around 200. there is also reddit which is only for trolling and meme posting not a place for technical discussions.

I get it, it's the holidays, horror stories and science fiction are de rigueur, but please, please. I'm scared now.

I'd join the one Theymos set up to replace it.

I'd join the one Theymos set up to replace it.

I've heard he lives in a hollowed out mountain where he shuffles around in Jesus robes lovingly tending to his servers rather like the bloke in Silent Running. One or two asteroids smacking into it and it might be good night.

It would be very interesting to see what the uptake would be for a mirror under a different domain. I wonder if people would be wary or a vast percentage would pile in without a second thought, or perhaps there'd be so many of them people wouldn't know which one to align themselves with.

In fact, all living things and things created from them will one day disappear. So I think that will also happen on the bitcointalk.org, bitcoin and altcoin. But I hope that the bitcointalk.org forum can last at least until I can still move my fingers to write and my eyes can still see.

The bitcointalk.org forum has provided a number of benefits for most users. Even when we realize that forums value our work and pay more than we can get in real work. That is why we are worried about its sustainability.

Concerns about the sustainability of the forum may not only be felt by the OP, but quite a lot of other users are starting to feel the forum wont be there forever. But my mind is interested to think that, as long as the forum is still there and still provide benefits to its users, until then we can still use it to do business, earn money, develop knowledge and many other things that are useful for ourselves and the community.

I dont think that all users of the bitcointalk.org forum are people who have no real work outside the forum or are unemployed. Even if the forum has to disappear, then they can return to pursue their work in real life.

I dont know what will happen to bitcoin and the bitcointalk.org forum in 1-10 or 20 years, but now is the right time to determine what will be done by users who have no real work when the forum must be destroyed. Until then, we will have another job.

Lol, have you taken something by mistake? His transgressive posts are a reference for the forum, it would be a disaster if they were finished.

Among other things, this forum is a source of knowledge, creates bonds of friendship and directly or indirectly also creates wealth, it would be a difficult problem to solve, I prefer not to think about it.

Happy New Year !!!

I used to be a heavy addict to films & series (especially British made series). That is where a large portion of my free time used to be invested in. I figure I’d go back to that for a while. I used to consume all my film & series goodies within the week. Now I seem to have a backlog I can never catch-up with: 200 GB of some 226 files ready to watch, plus all the streaming listed and still not viewed … I may even get to (re-)recognize some faces at home …

If the forum vanishes someday, my wife will feel happy for sure. Because I will spend less time on the internet, on the forum, and on the statistical analyses. She does not understand what I do so from her perspective, she can not understand why I can keep doing such boring things from weeks to weeks.

I rarely watch films (only some of my favorites, once or twice a week but when seasons end, I am free from film watching), then most of my time on the Internet is on the forum, crypto exchanges and data analyses.

You didn't open her very own account here as a Christmas present? You could conduct your marriage on here. We could all make helpful contributions to your relationship.

Its future does intrigue me. Does it become less relevant the bigger BTC gets and eventually fades away? Hardly anyone is a member of an Android forum but hundreds of millions use it for several hours a day. Or will its size increase the desire for people to gather to discuss it?

LOL, she even does not care about bitcoin. 

[trumpman]

Probably not much. It's not like I run a business here or something, other than earning a penny from the occasional bounty.

I am mainly checking this place for new ANNS and to kill time when procrastinating in my job.. I guess if this place closed for whatever reason it would be fast be replaced by something else so not much of a difference from my side

My GF used to bitch all the time about me spending so much time on exchanges, and trollboxes, even to the point of accusing me of talking to other girls (most specifically dcgirl while helping redesign Cryptsy's user interface), lol..
She was always even skeptical if Bitcoin was even really worth anything at all and not just play money.. Didn't believe me..

And then, one day, I bought her the exact BMW she wanted with my BTC I made..

She has sense forever shut her mouth about all the time I have spent and spend on crypto like magic, lol.. Imagine that..

The moral of the story is, if you want your significant other to become a BTC Believer and become OK with your time spent on crypto, buying them something expensive, that they really want, need, and will use every day, with your crypto earnings.. It is like a nuclear weapon against nagging..

This is also a surefire way to BTFO all videogamers with "How much money do you make doing that? What valuable education did you gain playing that game?" or anyone that thinks they can make wisecracks about how much time you spend on your laptop..

True story..

@eddie13

I’ve always spent a lot of time online ever since I was about 13 or something. I’ve been on a lot of chatrooms & forums. My gf thinks it’s weird to be honest although for the last 5 or so years I’m only on here & one particular Liverpool FC large Facebook group.

If this forum ceased to exist I’d be a bit lost to be honest, I spend a lot of time here. Met some cool people who are RL friends now.

This place has also encouraged me to keep buying MOAR & MOAR BTC. I initially wanted 10 in 2014, then I wanted to be in the 21 club. My targets started growing & growing & I kept meeting them. This place & BTC specifically has probably made my life. I wouldn’t have the opportunities I now have without this place & BTC until  much later in life from my parents inheritance or something so thanks to each & every one of you.

[Steamtyme]

I would likely have to become active on twitter and reddit to try and keep up with the information/news I can find here scrolling for 20 minutes.

This is where I'd likely keep up to date with things. However, I don't own an account that I'm active on either of those sites, and I'm not keen on learning them.

I don't have twitter and only have reddit because I needed to ask a question once or twice, wasn't worth it. So I really wouldn't want to go that route.

I see so just filling my house with loud hot machines was probably not the way to go. 
Though I think I still get a pass from buying her a PC, through the forum and using BTC when she began teaching ESL online. So double bonus points on the forum and BTC.

I live in a pretty poor area where their are very limited opportunities to even make even a decent living, but I am very resourceful and self reliant so I can do decently well on a very limited budget by doing everything for myself.. My real life skillset is all mechanics and construction.. I am not a coder but my knack is for physical things like machines..

I have never really been in a position to buy Bitcoin.. I have only ever bought $100 in BTC, and at a price higher than it is now..
All of the coin I have is what I made myself from basically nothing and have only ever sold some 2 times.. I have thankfully had the self discipline to hodl the majority of coin I have been able to accumulate, which really is not all that much sadly, but more than I have ever sold..

I am far from "made" but I'm holding BTC because I believe that maybe some day I could be "made" on a fair amount less coin than you mention..

I need to find/pursue a way to start accumulating satoshis again.. Even little by little..
The hayday of trading seems to be over for me..

Their is usually more than one way to skin a cat  
That's just what worked for me..

Fuck that

I was actually referring to gentlemand's original question of whether we would "keep on trucking elsewhere", but I feel your answer is applicable nonetheless.

[taufik123]

I do not know what will happen to me when this forum disappears. Maybe I will be a little depressed and feel missing some important things in my life.
This forum has made my life more productive and learned about bitcoin until now. Even half the time I have spent I review this forum and do some work.

I am interested in this forum since 2016 and then registered. I am totally blind and do not know the benefits of bitcointalk, so I vacuum up to 1 year and start active again in 2017.
In the same year in 2017 I felt that this forum provided several benefits for me financially and gave many new friends from all corners of the world.
I have participated in all kinds of bounty campaigns, including becoming a translator.

My income is even greater in this forum compared to my real income.
But if the forum this is lost somewhere, I will be a regular employee who spends a lot of time for family and go on vacation on weekends.

Facebook will get back one of his user. Because before joined on this forum, I had spent my free time on the Facebook. -snip-

Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and other social media I never publish about bitcointalk.org, because I close myself from people around me.
If I am open about this forum and my side job there will be many strange questions to come, I avoid that and choose to remain silent as anonymous.
Maybe I'm only active on a telegram account

There's always Cryptotalk...

Cryptotalk may not be able to replace bitcointalk.org, it is still very difficult even though cryptotalk spends a lot of money to do promotions by holding a signature campaign aided by yobit. It takes a long time if I really have to move to cryptotalk, because the bitcointalk forum has become my second home.
