Why I love Bitcointalk!

[libert19]

Sorry for one of those threads but just felt like posting some things I personally love about this forum.


Knowledgeable people - when Google doesn't answer my question, someone from Bitcointalk does

Freedom of speech - you can use those words freely

Devs in community: Telegram bots filled the need for functions which felt lacking in forum

Bounties - please don't hate me — it's nice extra income. When pandemic started it was my saving grace.

Discussions: This forum is filled with all kind of species, I love it.

History: many historical moments are etched here (pizza guy, satoshi, Hal Finney, ethereum/vitalik, etc)


Yea, that's it. What about you?

Freedom of speech - you can use those words freely 

Yeah freedom of speech, but maybe at a later time this may be reviewed a tad bit. Because freedom of speech on the forum has given trolls, scammers, scam promoters and users with many other vices the liberty to continue with their act. it may not be a reason to love Bitcointalk if it continues.

Because nowadays is 2022. Telegram groups more preferable

But i love bitcointalk because it's like a museum, a hall of crypto fame

Bounties - please don't hate me — it's nice extra income. When pandemic started it was my saving grace.

If someone pays you $300 a month for your posts, then you can really consider yourself lucky. For a few minutes a day and a couple of one-line posts, there is no reason not to like this forum

Yea, that's it. What about you?

It is more important for me to be up to date with what is happening around Bitcoin, and I consider this forum to be perhaps the best source of information, despite the fact that there is a lot of spam and shitposters. It is also a great privilege to earn something and promote something you believe in, but that should never be the primary goal.

Who, coincidentally, form the overwhelming majority of kind and smart people.

[Lucius]

Nice roast 

In line with what you mentioned as one of the good things on the forum "Freedom of speech - you can use those words freely". Besides, it was just my observation, with which your campaign manager and some other members of the forum certainly do not agree. Far from thinking that one-line posts are always bad/spam, some write an entire essay and say nothing useful.

This forum is the one and only forum I've encounter and i will never leave this forum. Cause this forum is my secondary school, this community gives me knowledge that I did not get from school. A knowledge that I can share to those people who interested and  worthy tobe given. A knowledge that can not be steal from the other people.
I love this forum too cause I made friends here from different country.
All I need to know about crypto is here.

^ This. The Bitcointalk forum is a great source of information, and it has a lot of people from different aspects of the Bitcoin community who are willing to share their knowledge with newcomers. In terms of finding information, this is the best place I know of, and I am also looking for any place that I can contribute to to help spread the word. I find this also an effective way to broadcast useful information that may not be covered elsewhere.

The downside of the Bitcointalk forum is that there are a lot of scams and scammers who try to profit from newcomers. The people are not truly trustworthy so I try to remain cautious. I think most people are aware of this and realize that any member of the community who is promoting a scam or scam-like services is not a trustworthy person, and I really hope that people become more aware of this and that the community will grow more mature and wise as time passes.

I do agree that earnings from promoting something on the forum should be an incidental benefit. This is a community and not a business. So, it is important for people to maintain their own credibility and integrity.

I've been on this forum for quite a few years (joined in 2014, but went through two large periods of inactivity) and to be honest, it has been a wonderful experience. Despite the fact that it's a great source of income, anyone who denies that is simply lying, it's also an exceptional website to gain knowledge and most importantly, ask for assistance, which will be provided selflessly, no strings attached and without risking being scammed.

I've seen exceptional people here, who were always willing to assist me without any hesitation, compared to Discord or Telegram groups for instance, which are filled with scammers willing to take advantage of you.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Yea, that's it. What about you?

I used to spend almost all the day in the forum especially in WO thread but these days I am not much enthusiastic to spend my time here. I have more things to do besides there are not much to talk about anymore. All around spamming and scamming. But to be honest this place is far better then you so called google and you are right if you need bitcoin related Q/A then this is the place where you will get a definite answer. You will face few trolls but that's okay I think.

Knowledgeable people - when Google doesn't answer my question,

Don't make google look like some form of machine that answers every question on it's own , without the so called knowledgeable people, there will be no google, people have to answer the question(s) on their websites, blogs, etc before Google picks those answers up and show to us by the help of SEO.

It might interest you guys to know that back in 2016, I asked a question about bitcoin on Google, and of course, Google came up with a lot of answers coming from different sources/websites, and bitcointalk happened to be one of those websites, I clicked the answer which lead me to bitcointalk, that was how I discovered this great forum, after going around the forum, i signed up and that was how I became a member till date.
I personally love this forum for several reasons, and op has mentioned alot of it already.

Freedom of speech - you can use those words freely

Not until your post was reported, due of hate speech, short post considered as spam, trolling, and being off topic . Well, bitcointalk is more censored than you could imagine though.

Bounties - please don't hate me — it's nice extra income. When pandemic started it was my saving grace.

Everyone loves bounties, even mods need to be compensated as well.

Discussions: This forum is filled with all kind of species, I love it.

In serious, services discussions, yes. In bitcoin discussion and the rest, no, may be slightly if the thread is new, but once it reaches 5 pages or so it becomes the nest of spammers.

History: many historical moments are etched here (pizza guy, satoshi, Hal Finney, ethereum/vitalik, etc)

Not to mention there is an automatically archives in every posts here with the help of other members, so as long those archive websites are up, history will be saved.

Knowledgeable people - when Google doesn't answer my question, someone from Bitcointalk does.

This forum is so great with answering questions, any kind of questions. Be it newbie question and technical questions. I appreciate the people in the technical side for good work they are doing.

Except these users from my blacklist (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5215709)

How did you gather all those names? I cannot image the forum without these people. I will really love to know how you encountered all of these people and put them in the black side

Because nowadays is 2022. Telegram groups more preferable

bitcointalk was born that where the social media, facebook and twitter at that time is very popular and was preferable, but bitcointalk isn't popular than Facebook, can still exist until now, your reference is not accurate when comparing it with the telegram. it is the same as what happened in your coin which is not preferable to another altcoin.

It'd be a huge irony if that post of yours get removed.

Some really seem to have glass hearts.

You're wrong here:

• "Hate speech" is allowed, but it shouldn't just be name calling.
• Post length doesn't matter to determine if it's spam.

[cryptoaddictchie]

Yea, that's it. What about you?

Nice summarize. For me I love bitcointalk cause aside from giving me extra financial help, it also become a hub for knowledge in cryptocurrency. Im almost 5years member of this community, and I never get tired to learn things Im sure Im not yet familiar about.

All of you mentioned Im seen them here and glad that Ive experienced all of that. Also the part of historical, Ive learned them on some who did some quiz on it and that stuff are cool to know from bitcoin pizza to etc.
