Bitcointalk or Cryptotalk? What is the best forum for a beginner?

Cryptotalk is a rip-off community of this forum not really made to be a crypto-world community but to make yobit's (ew) trading platform popular. Have you ever known that yobit had a huge issue here in the forum as its platform stole so many money from bitcointalk users? (See Yobit's profile trust score here) Hence, they've only bought the cryptotalk domain for their trading platform's traffic and market. Imagine that they've been paying if and only if you use their paltform. Also, I've tried to join it back then when it started yet it was so shitty forum that even a single-word replies would be counted to the payment LOL.

Bitcoin talk - Post to learn
Crypto talk - post to earn.

There are some exceptions but same applies to both tbh

Nope, cryptotalk is pure earning forum, no merits nor quality whatsoever. Users in there can plagiarize without being seen and would still be paid. Bitcointalk community and campaigns requires high standards. Basically, BTCTalk users are campaign promoters, Cryptotalk users doesn't promote anything at all. Imagine them not being paid, they wouldn't be running in a month lol.

Legit or not, it's hard to determine because there are other services that also implemented similar strategies. For instance, visitors from US/ CA are paid way better than those from third-world.

They are like that favoring one country over the other and they are not judging based on the merit of the poster but based on his location, I can conclude that they are racist, they are in no way in competition with Bitcointalk or even in other Cryptocurrency forum, once they stopped paying posters will start posting here and will just join another forum because they lack categories and sections

I think that kind of approach to their users are really not fair. There are also users from third world that can provide good quality posts. Anyway, I don't think cryptotalk is nowhere near with bitcointalk. That's my opinion though. Really wonder what will be their future if they stop paying their users to post?

It's really subjective. From a website owner's perspective, sometimes they have to implement such measures because they prefer quality over quantity. Sure, there are good posters from there but they are the minority.

Just like some services blocking certain countries because the majority of DDoS attacks are originating from there.

Before you judge me, I'm also from a third-world country so yeah.

I'm from third world country but I understand there point. There website was abused by those people that from the banned country. I remember when I'm first time using it, I saw user that continuously posting on different thread with a short time span. I believe he is using a script to auto post and most of his post is low quality and off topic.

If I'm with the situation of the owner. I will definitely exclude the country that provides a shit tons of garbage in my forum especially if I'm paying them per post and that is not a racist unless the owner exclude a country for no reason.

To accurately debate this Bitcointalk Vs Cryptotalk as to which is better and an upgrade, it's always best done through an experienced member of both forums. I recently encountered a post on the biginners board that made mention of Cryptotalk and that's the first I heard of it. The user actually debated it on his/her own in this topic:
I want to become a good member of this forum
It was obvious he knew and understood to have stepped on a gold mine by transcending from Cryptotalk to Bitcointalk. That's to tell you, how suffisticated the Bitcointalkforum is. It's an upgrade of all forums.
So, I did a few research on Cryptotalk and I was disappointed as to why we should even debate it!!!

In terms of Organization
Bitcointalk: It's main page is properly organized, divided into boards and sub-boards, each board carries a unique set of information, rules in agreement with the overall rule and is guided by a moderator.
Cryptotalk: it's page is poorly organized and the boards lack a sub-boards, discussion are arranged in an unorderly manner.

Content quality
Bitcointalk: it presents facts in as it is and in an orderly manner, discussions are duely moderated, a strick rules on plagiarism and spamming, low quality content are deleted and off-topic contents are sent to appropriate boards, contents on the board are mainly high quality researched works.
Cryptotalk: it present facts like suggestions, some level of plagiarism are allowed with spamming as the bases for promoting campaigns, most of it's contents are virtually low quality researched works.

Suffistication
Naturally, new models of any technological advancement is supposed to be an upgrade of the formal which should be bigger and better. In the case of Bitcointalk and Cryptotalk, the case is different and in reverse.
Bitcointalk which was created in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto remains high and more suffisticated than Cryptotalk which was created in September 2019 by Yobit and Cryptotalk admins in a bid to earnBTC or Alts and its suffistication is just too low in comparison to Bitcointalk. This is as a result of how carelessly and earning centered it was formed.

Purpose
Bitcointalk: centers it's purpose on learning as it's core. Here you learn a lot about Bitcoin and Alts as well, your also met with opportunities to earn and practice certain techniques in various field s of the cryptosphere and how to properly secure what you've acquired.
Cryptotalk: Is based or centered on earnings through which ever means as that is it's core. No doubt, you can easily get scammed in your bid to multiple as that's the mindset of it's users. You virtually encounter little information on how to upgrade based on the series of spam post on the forum, users waste no time in researching for new and beneficial topics to aid other users in security aspects. Hence, it's all about the post counts.

There are a lot to say but then I'll stop here and say this as well, Cryptotalk is not a worthy comparison for Bitcointalk at all with emphasis on 'not a worthy comparison'. No!

The forum you mentioned is not the same as the bitcointalk forum. Yes you can learn there too but this forum have more lots of traffic which means you can create a thread here and many will see it if your thread has not been discussed before. So, this forum can be your learning space.

Okay let's talk about the quality

Bitcoin talk consists of a lot of different quality posts because of the merit system to filter out the quality and shit post.

Crypto talk is full of shit posts but still the moderator of that forum doing their best to become a quality forum.

Number of members
AFAIK the bitcoin talk is the winner on this.

Bitcoin talk - Post to learn
Crypto talk - post to earn.

This is just my personal opinion and personal perspective only.

I don't agree to this because you cannot earn much from crypto talk. At the beginning they were paying satoshi for pay per post but later they discontinue this and give only some token from the yobit exchange. I don't know what are they paying now because i have not visited that forum for the last few months.

For me, that forum is full of spam post and you can learn nothing from there. Those who are free and have lot of spare time can earn few cents from there but for me its waste of time.

I remember seeing a signature campaign for Crypto talk on Bitcointalk at that time I never knew it was a forum where people are earning BTC by posting topics.

The concept of earning by posting will invite a lot of spam post and shit posts as the primary goal of any user there will be to earn Bitcoin. I am sure moderators there are pretty busy everyday.

Bitcointalk was created to learn and understand bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies earning cryptocurrency is optional here.
People are here to discuss about new projects and gain information about them. Those who are new to cryptocurrency are here to learn about it.

I still have not seen any other forum in this niche providing information like Bitcointalk.
