What Would Be Your Reason to Leave Bitcointalk?

[Maxine4466]

This forum represents my faith in crypto filed. I'll always believe in Bitcoin, blockchain and Satoshi. So...until death do us apart.
I feel happy here. people of high ranks are not smug and I've never been laughed at for my poor merit. What we have is pure discussion.
I won't leave here forever but only for days, weeks or even months coz I have a job and teaching occupies much of my attention.
If I get super rich, I won't leave since wealth needs management; if poor, I won't as well because I need to snap out of it by my coins.

This forum isn't what it used to be.
Back in the good old days of 2013-2014 it was the IT place for crypto. Now, not so much.
I'm noticing that most good projects, and by good i mean ones that actually do well (50x) in the last 2-3 years have no mention on this forum
Apart from strong bitcoin info, most altcoin info is just scams and moneygrabs.

I feel the same. Really good projects, or teams with excellent genes, do not promote projects on the Bitcoin forum. When making money or getting a bounty becomes the first appeal, those who do bounty plans no longer have the gold content, and a few simple questions are already obvious.



For pure bounty hunters, I would suspect that each of them will have many alternative accounts.

Here is a more detailed answer

Altcoin scams are emerging in endlessly, bounty hunters are full of tricks, it seems to be an industry chain, I am looking forward to the emergence of good projects, but I also hope that sincere bounty hunters will join the project volunteer team, and everything will return to reality.

The times are changing. It's not that I don't adapt to the times. The main reason is that I have become accustomed to forums. I will not leave, maybe death is the only reason.

I am dedicating a fair amount of my daily routine to the forum.
Please bear in mind that I have a life outside of it: a work to put food in the platter, human interactions (I am definitely not an AI, as other members).
But if I look back at the past I can see a balanced relationship with the forum: I got back as much as I put into learning from other users, stimulating my personal research on a new direction, expanding my knowledge on Bitcoin.

So until I am impaired from some very serious condition preventing me to post, I am banned from the forum for some reason (@nutildah, are you after me??) or for some also obscure reason I start realizing I get nothing back from the forum, I am afraid I will still be around or a long time.

Should never have put the temporary illusion of safety above personal liberty..
ie tagging and chasing away “likely scammers” and crushing the unique economic dynamic of account sales..

This forum started acting like protecting idiots is more important than letting users express their free wills..
~
Oh right, the morons probably just threw their (saved from scam) money at one of the great 2017 ICOs instead..
I’m sure their filthy rich now thanks to all that saving grace..

You make some very good points here. As much as I like to prevent people from getting scammed, it doesn't work. If someone is willing to lend half a Bitcoin to a Newbie without collateral: let them! It's going to be an expensive but strong lesson for them, and I see no reason to tag Newbies for asking loans.
You also make a very good argument about the ICOs. Most of them are plain scams, probably created by the same small group of people, and they've earned billions of dollars from it. While any BS bounty token platform can spam millions of Twitter and Facebook links to promote their scam, they don't get tagged at all. For some reason it's even a loophole in the spam-rules, and the forum allows it.
The DT-system seems to protect against small scammers, while the biggest ones get away.

Thanks

Seems that post got me removed from SMs trust list, but that’s ok..

I chopped my list for a little while but I’m sure I’ll remake it again soonish..
Don’t know if it matters really..

TLM!

The only way to decentralize the Trust system, is if as many people as possible use it. Even (or maybe especially) if others disagree with them.

Death. Though I may still haunt the forum after I die. Haven't decided yet.

The name is the same as the person. Very humorous. There is only one reason why I left the forum. Bitcoin no longer exists and becomes history. In other words, Bitcoin exists and the forum is gone, so I will leave here. The worst is that the author mentioned that my account was banned.

[Pmalek]

Say what now?

The worst is that the author mentioned that my account was banned.

Say what now x2? What "author"? Are you talking about me, the thread starter?
Looks like English isn't you main language, so this could be some weird google translation from your mother tongue. Maybe you were trying to say that the worst thing that can happen is that you get banned.

[NotATether]

It's probably a jab at hilariousandco, not you.

[finaleshot2016]

If I got banned and If I died.

I spent a lot of time here earning merits and creating quality posts that will help other members, so it's a little tiring to do that again, and it's difficult to find unique posts that have a chance to be merited and ranked up. I know it's not all about the ranks, but achieving status is also an accomplishment that shows you've done something worthwhile in the forum. So, if I ever get banned, I won't register again just to do the same thing again, and I'll lose purpose because I'll be starting from scratch, and being banned means you've done something wrong, so face the consequences.

Bad languages from forum members.
One of my friends leave bitcointalk forum for this reason. Then he joined another platform named Fiverr and he is now established there. We should respect all members of the forum regardless of their rank.

[Pmalek]

Then he joined another platform named Fiverr and he is now established there.

Fiverr is a platform for freelancers and businesses employing contractors for various types of work. It has got nothing to do with cryptocurrencies except if your friend is a developer who writes code for crypto projects. Foul language would never be a reason why I would leave. You shouldn't care what other people on the internet call you or how they address you. I also can't remember a case where someone was bullied or insulted for no reason whatsoever. But then again, I don't spend much time in the Reputation and Scam Accusations subs where that might be happening.

<...some truth revealed...>

Thank you. At least someone else felt the same, which I was feeling from long time. I just did not have words or times or whatever it is to get them together and get them out.

Being a newbie to this community is a sin! All these grate people forget that they were a newbie when they started. After introduction of merit we have seen so many so-called newbies (they pretend, actually they know the community well and the new account holder is not a newbie. It was created to take advantage only, and we all know what possible advantages they can expect). But those real newbies who do not have any idea of the forum, they just signed in to get to know the community, they see all hates against them. You can not do this, you can not do that, you are scammer, you are a piece of shit wtf!

If anyone comes up with a business idea, then they are scammers. We built up a community which is driven by hate and insecurity. We hate to see others are joining the community, we hate to see a business is launching without giving us a share, what the fuck is this escrow anyway. Haven't we seen what TMAN and gang did against Best_Change? Where are those people now. I see some of them now are in the same very campaign, LOL. Why you felt so anxious and tried to ruin a business at the beginning? Insecurity, expectation of getting merits, showing a fake sense of caring and active member.

We are a community now driven by merit, scam hunting, tagging, punishing newbies. How many bitcoin holders we have now?

CH is not the only one, but I have seen many good users turned into rogue. Why? Put their shoes on, you will not find yourself different from them.

Hey! After reading you, I feel guilty of being a manager. I am not going to defend myself or other managers. There is an ecosystem of doing business and as a manager I found myself lately a fit to it. I can not speak for others anyway.

Update:
Sorry @Pmalek, just read the thread and all about LOL
When there will be no bitcoin, when I will be completely out from crypto, then I may leave this place for good.

[_Miracle]

People have left (and sold their bct accounts) when they experienced losses in crypto and were done.
There have been times when I've been away for months or a year but I'd have to be banned to leave.

If I got banned= I'd respect the decision. --don't even like saying that "out loud"  

[Chris!]

I stopped posting because it's 99% shitposts and charlatans here. Many OGs are great to talk to but I'd rather just talk on a chat app.

I also found a very tight knit crypto group that I speak with all the time so no real need for the forum anymore. I do check in here and there but for the most part I'm busy with real life and I never have any questions or concerns about bitcoin so no real reason to post.

If I got banned (no idea why I would) I would obviously evade that ban if i wanted to post, just saying.

I have lots of great memories from bitcointalk but they're just a part of the past now. I don't see myself getting very involved here on out unless there are drastic changes. Where the hell is the new forum and mobile version already? Seriously. Those donations are probably worth billions at this point lmao.

DM me if you need me. I might check my email every few months. Other than that, I'm out.

[ifarted]

I noticed that some are not honest with their answers. They only constructed such post to gain attention to their post and could possibly be given a merit. Well, i know that it is a trick to earn more merits but for me, i would rather prefer to be honest.

If i were to leave bitcoin, that would be because if my account got banned, (which i thought that i would never get into that situation), there are no bounties or campaigns to join anymore, if i turn old and my eyesight has gotten bad or if i die. These could be one of the reasons why i'm leaving bitcoin for good. It actually depends on a situation when i should be making a decision but right now i enjoyed being part of the forum. I was delighted that i joined bitcoin.

Even I felt sometimes that I went too hard on newbies and I regret for the same. But it is also damn hard to crop out the real newbies out of the fake ones. Some pretend to be newbies but start posting good, while some keep posting normal stuff but they still know a lot about the community. In between these two breeds, real newbies either leave or are hidden among.

Now coming back to the topic, I will leave this forum when I will feel that I lost the respect (the time I leave) I used to have from forum members. Our character is important, most important than anything in this world.

It's the internet. It is not just here in the forum. Everyone could just lie about their identity and expect people to believe them. It is one of the effects of pseudonymity. Even in Facebook, I see a lot of profiles claiming to be a forex trader, while just slapping their profile pic with a stock photo.
At least you were honest that one of the reason that you would leave is due to those SCs.

I will leave since noone wants to do help for me 

What do you mean?
I see you asked about polish board, and someone already answered it. And then looking at your history, I really can not understand what are you doing except spamming. The best place for you to start will be the sticky threads on the meta board. Please check the first 5 to 6 topics at the top here.

[Spontaneous]

I will leave since noone wants to do help for me  

Wait before you leave let me ask you a question are you willing to learn??

look at your post history
I don't think so if you are willing to learn cause if you will then you can help your self or you can study by your own and read the pinned post above the meta board or in beginners and help.
