Yes, Theymos as well disagree with that idea as well. So there will be no bitcointalk token, sorry to burst the bubble. But we already have bitcoin (BTC) that satoshi build and even name this community after his invention.
So no need to have this kind of altcoin because for sure many will criticize if we decided to have our own. And if we are looking for altcoins, then there are. tons already, majority are bad, but there are still solid and best coin in the top 10-20.
There has been a link between the forum name and bitcoin since its conception, this is enough for us and we don't need another shitcoin. There are more than 20k altcoins available right now, which is more than enough to get you started if you want to invest in altcoins.
Look at altcoinstalk and cryptotalk, they are two terrible clones of bitcointalk and even worse try to issue their own tokens for the forum. It doesn't change the fact that they are worse, either.
Yeah, and as prime movers, this community have seen attempts to clone it, like the two sties that you mentioned, and if I'm not mistaken way back 2018, a slew of them comes along after the huge bull run we have in 2017. But all of them fail. And it really doesn't make sense to have our own altcoin, there are thousands already and what difference will we make in the cryptoverse if we have one? Right, there's none to offer.
