Bitcointalk was created by Satoshi Nakamoto, the founder of bitcoin. Bitcointalk is the first kind of such forums. Bitcointalk has most quality posts. The reason the traffic on Bitcointalk is 10 times more than any other crypto forum.

[Ringar]

Bitcointalk has most quality posts.

Yes Sir, it is My Main Reason for Choosing Bitcointalk, Bitcointalk is one of the Best Forum where we Can Increase our Skill about any Topic.

Almost From Seven Month i use Bitcointalk Forum. I see that have many Forum same like Bitcointalk. For Example, Cryptotalk, Altcointalk, Bitcoingarden etc Forum.

Out of the three you highlighted, I know of and have visited two, including other cryptocurrency related platforms, and I find Bitcointalk to be the most original - it was after all created by Satoshi, giving it a higher level of credibility.
The forum is also more community oriented, and I find discussion here to be of a higher quality.

Asking this question here would get you answers from bitcointalk users and would not create a proper analysis. There very well might be users on those platforms who prefer it for one reason or the other.

In all honesty, there is no reason for you to dislike the forum if you are compensated for giving a few lines of insightful opinion. Plus, there are a number of really smart individuals here that could guide you if you run into problems.

Another reason is that, that none of the forums you listed offer any of the many generous art contests that are held in bitcointalk with bitcoin prizes.

[Alisha-k]

I have visited altcoinalk and cryptotalk but i find Bitcointalk interface more user friendly. All the forum still gear towards one aim which is to get as many persons as possible come to know about crypto currency not just as a currency but the possibilities making of diverse decentralized applications and how this can be made public without fear of any sort of manipulation

I recall taking a look at some other crypto forums some years ago, after somebody suggested a bunch of sites on a given list, only to find, as I expected, that they were rather behind in terms of activity and content:

I really can’t be bothered with other Crypto Forums unless a pretty good reason crops up to ponder them over Bitcointalk. Even so, I’ve taken a quick glimpse at the list (so my first impressions may be wrong):


Bitalk.org                             -> Seems to be Russian only.
Bitcoin.com                          -> Not too active (not bad UI).
litecointalk.io                        -> Not really interested in a Litecoin specific forum + rather inactive.
cryptocurrencytalk.com         -> Rather innactive on substantial threads (like the video section).
bitcoingarden.org/forum/      -> Very similar UI (SMF). Structure a bit weird, and 24K members only.
bitcoinforum.com                 -> Also very similar UI (SMF). Not very active, and just under 18K members only.
allcryptotalk.com                  -> Not many boards not activity.
cryptorum.com/forums/        -> Very weak in terms of boards and content.
talk.peercoin.net                  -> Specific to peercoin
mastersofcrypto.com/forum/ -> I like the guides .. but nothing else (+ barely any activity).

So, in summary, none of the above come even close to Bitcointalk neither in terms of content nor, very likely, prestige and history of its members.

I haven’t bothered to look at any alternatives since then besides Cryptotalk, due to the noise it made at the time of being launched, and only to confirm that the debate there was seemingly very unsubstantial and spammy as hell.

I do browse another local forum or two rather sporadically to contrast local news related to regulations and such, but not much else. Bitcointalk should cover people’s needs for information and interactivity on Bitcoin, and  there doesn’t seem to be a better alternative (although Reddit could be a complement to ponder).

[bitbollo]

it is a unique place where I can read the opinions of bitcoin enthusiasts.
More or less all fans of this technology have a forum account here

And then it is something historical ... it was founded by Satoshi Nakamoto and has always been the fundamental online place where all bitcoin enthusiasts turn to.
I can find "unique" information, for example the lending section allows you to receive loans very quickly, or the collectibles section represents the basis for those interested in this sector.

any service or site in the sector has a representative or a topic here, in short, there are endless reasons to use this forum

Based on what DdmrDdmr shared, it seems like out of all the bitcoi/cryptocurrency-related forums he put on the list bitcointalk is the most active, and an active forum attracts new users. also, aside from bitcointalk being active, it is also created by satoshi(just like what Charles-Tim said) which hI think makes people curious about the forum and its history with bitcoin.

But Why People Always like and Use This Bitcointalk Forum.     

Although the forum is an excellent source of information and you can learn a lot through reading and discussing with other members, many are attracted by the opportunity to earn primarily through bounties and signature campaigns. You are an example of someone who obviously came to the forum for the possibility of making money (judging by your post history), so in a way you can serve as an answer to why this forum is more popular than some others.

But we all had our beginnings on the forum, and I'm not an exception in that regard - micro jobs and faucets were the main preoccupation of many in the early days.

[Darker45]

Bitcointalk has the most that any Bitcoin or cryptocurrency forum could offer. So in terms of resources, Bitcointalk is simply incomparable. Not only is this forum created by Satoshi himself/herself/themselves, this forum is also where many of the earliest discussions of Bitcoin happened.

History happened here. HODL originated here. Laszlo made his infamous 10,000-BTC offer here. Brilliant minds in Bitcoin and altcoin had discussed ideas here. The likes of Hal Finney, Adam Back, Andreas Antonopoulos, Jameson Lopp, Greg Maxwell, Ross Ulbricht, Vitalik Buterin, Charlie Lee, Charles Hoskinson, and many others were all here.  

[SafuBTC]

Apart from been the first of its kind I just like how bitcointalk website displays on smartphones and PC, it's more cutey😟😸😸😸 than others and easy to understand, cryptotalk and altcointalk are confusing, worse design and bad interface.

[m2017]

I can't speak for other people why they choose this particular forum, but I can say what exactly I like here:

1. Lively and active community.
There will always be people who report on changes in the crypto world and beyond. Forum participants will immediately join the discussion of these topics, which allows you to get different points of view on the same situations. The more opinions we take into account, the more objectively we can get an idea of what happened.

2. Knowledge base.
Discussion of technical (and not only) questions allows readers to use this forum as a place where you can find a lot of answers. Information is constantly being accumulated and added to, which makes this information base in a sense evolving.

3. Historical component.
All the same, Bitcoin and Crypto Era began with this forum and bitcointalk is of great importance in the development of thecrypto community and bitcoin. A lot of important events happened or began here and it's nice to realize belonging to this community, albeit on a modest scale.
 
4. Events and competitions.
If the community is active, then various contests will not be rare, as you can see for yourself. Starting from the art conquesst and ending with the culinary contest, like pizza-day contest. There is a wide variety of them.

5. Signature and bounty campaigns.
It would be hypocritical not to mention it. It can be considered a nice bonus to be able to participate in this campaigns.


In one form or another, some of the items on this list are in other forums, but I think they are far behind the bitcointalk. And if compared with the forums indicated by OP, then for the most part they turned out to be "half-dead" (almost inactive), in my opinion, when I looked at them.

I looked around to see if there was anything I was missing from other forums and the main places people go to talk about bitcoin with quality/knowhow seem to be bitcointalk, stackoverflow and github (but the stackoverflow used to not be very busy).

I don't know if other forums have grown much or well since but I doubt it (and they don't exactly have the history bitcointalk does).

[Rruchi man]

History happened here. HODL originated here. Laszlo made his infamous 10,000-BTC offer here. Brilliant minds in Bitcoin and altcoin had discussed ideas here.

In addition, being a member of this forum with so much history makes you feel like you are making history as well with your original contributions and perspectives to discussions.

 

Why People Always like and Use This Bitcointalk Forum.      

Why not?, this answer may vary from person to person as it is a personal question that prompts self evaluation. For me, my interest is not just about crypto, it is about Bitcoin and though it may not be the only thing discussed here, it brings great comfort knowing you are amidst people with same interest as you which is bitcoin.

I choose BTT because it is the most active and informative forum where different people from all over the world with different ideas, findings, and Bitcoin knowledge gather to discuss, educate, promote, earn and contribute positively to the growth and widespread of Bitcoin and its usefulness. BTT stands as the best place to get genuine information about Bitcoin becuse it was created by Satoshi Nakomoto. Another reason may be because BTT gives more learning opportunities than other forum because members here are well known as readers and research makers.

The legendary history of this forum might the reason why crypto enthusiasts were here including me.
The genius man or a group who created Bitcoin and also the creator of this forum Satoshi Nakamoto, you will find all his previous posts here in this forum and histories that we will never forget in crypto were also found here.

So that's it, it might that's the reason why people keep choosing Bitcointalk.org because its previous history that might catch interest them, unlike other forums which earlier found than Bitcointalk.org.

Another factor could be, that there are a lot of good and informative topics that surely a reader easy for them to understand.
Just ask yourself why you're here, it might be that 90% of other members have the same reason as you.

[KingsDen]

Apart from being one of the oldest cryptocurrency forums, bitcointalk has some major advantages over other forums you mentioned above. Among the advantages is one important one - The availability of Local boards.

Being able to discuss bitcoin in one's local language and also involve in trades with your country person is a great advantage this forum has over others.

Again some historical factors keep people in this forum;
Such as the forum being created by Satoshi himself;
Bitcoin pizza history;
Hodling and lots more.

[libert19]

Because it's an OG. Bitcoin can never be replaced (in og status at least), neither Bitcointalk.

[LogitechMouse]

It is created by Satoshi. You know it is the original cryptocurrency and one of the oldest forums ever created.
The number of active members here
It's the most popular cryptocurrency forum out there
Most of the most genius crypto enthusiasts around the world has been using this
The amount of information you can get here is way more than other cryptocurrency forums
Yearly competitions, events being organized by moderators and theymos.
You can earn money by sharing your opinions (or basically by shitposting . JK)

These are some of the reasons why many people that are involved in cryptocurrency are choosing Bitcointalk over other forums out there. The fact that this forum has been created by Satoshi Nakamoto I think is enough to attract some people to use this forum already and let's also add the number of active members here who are constantly sharing their opinions. TBH, I tried to create an account in altcoinstalk and posted there but only 2 posts I think and after that, I didn't visited their website anymore.
