[UserU]

Feels good that someone would take time to show appreciation to your post, so I feel ya there!

I totally didn't expect that ngl 

By the way, thanks @BlackHatCoiner, I really appreciate it!

As for me, i like and appreciate the fact that you don't know who and who view your profile and when, also i like the fact that you can only see the numbers of views on your topic thread or someone's else but you cant know who and who viewed the thread without commenting a reply, but rather you only know those that replies the thread, i also appreciate the fact that the forum is privacy conscious on itself.

I like the chronological order system for posts.

It is easy to research and study a thread as it is in chronological order.

I like to post I can look up every post I made since 2012.

I like the lack of change in format.

I hate telegram
I hate discord
I dis like reddit

all three are really poor at organizing the format.

Shout out to macrumors  which has a lot of similar rules.

Also evga forums .  but frankly btc talk is better than them.

The fact that the dashboard of my Ublock Origin browser extension is clear when accesing bitcointalk and how Dark Reader extension neatly changes the dark mode color of bitcointalk during night time with a single click of a button.

I dis like reddit

Why do you hate Reddit? Imo a forum having Reddit's format with upvoted posts being at the top(or probably merited, in this case) is a far more efficient way of reading.

P.S. While I like Reddit, I heavily dislike the Reddit r/Bitcoin and r/Cryptocurrency communities.

Reddit is a great place, but of course it boils down to the communities as well.

About that cc subreddit, the amount of hypocrisy when they shit on pumps and dumps yet partake in them for profits. And then we have the shitposting for moons

What about you?

I'd rather be on this forum than EpochTalk which is planned as a new forum for bitcointalk users.
It's one of the little things I ever think about even though I basically like anything new. There is no reason to reject new things that develop, and one of them is when the forum introduced the merit system in early 2018. Another little thing I'm thinking right now is, useful for other users on this forum, it could also mean I want to help them get the rankings they deserve.

[Marykeller]

The way posts are quote easily. Quoting different posts and replying to them one after the other in a particular post. That alone gives me joy. The other one that got me is copying the link of other people's posts or yours

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Many things I love about this forum, some are minor, while other I consider are not, I will just go straight to mention them and be as honest as possible.
1. I like the simplicity of the forum ~ makes the forum really easy to understand and navigate around.
2. I like the ranking system so much ~ it encourages me to do more.
3. I like the merit system ~ like the ranking system, the merit system killed my laziness to making quality posts, it took away every zeal I had to spam.
4. I like the post to earn feature on the forum ~ it Motivates me to stay active and contribute meaningfully to the forum.
5. I also love the "preview" button which automatically saves the text in the message box ~ this simple, but very important feature have saved me alot of times from losing my entire work, mostly, times i make I long post and I've spent hours typing.

....and yunno the one thing that keeps surprising me?
I came after a genius left,VOD
well maybe, this looks very ODD
some group of incurruptibles interviewed the brain-box,if he's married or if atleast he plays some CHORDS
but theymos,in his persona,has never or if at all he has,said only few WORDS

an applausible colony of newbies register daily,this makes me WONDER
why we have alot registering and only a few to stay atleast till NOVEMBER?
maybe the rules were too cumbersome for thier brains or maybe they weren't given sometime to PONDER?
.. finally get stuck on meta posting shits like "help, why I banned" while the motivated strives through pain and HUNGER

I realize Theymos uses almost 700 days to "impound" and/or propound any ethical idea,so I said TRULY
This man's accessible to anyone so I conclude he isn't arrogant. To others, that ain't no BULLY
pretty clear that 1xbit are earning from some petty-pranks and they mobilize "ndito awove" with them which is UNRULY
These are my wonders, I have alot more but for now,hope I'm not a freak neither a DULY?!


Just had to make some rhymes, what would you call it?

Efficiency is good in some ways, but in other ways it isn't. It suits Reddit because it's mainly a in the moment, hype, sort of relevancy website, whereas Bitcointalk is about discussion. Having discussion being interrupted by who thinks what deserves to be seen more than others isn't exactly a discussion, it's a popularity contest.

I like Reddit for reading certain things, however to contribute there would be an absolute nightmare, hence why I don't have an account, and just use it for reading material. When I need to know something quick, and have the most accepted answer right there in front of me, that's usually the place I go for non technical stuff, whereas StackExchange would be my go to for more technical stuff.

I like the discussion element of this forum, and there's no hiding of posts because you simply disagree with them. Have you ever seen those "unpopular opinion...but" type of posts, the posters know it's not a unpopular opinion, and therefore it gets upvotes. The whole place is like that, most of the time replies aren't even answering the question, it's who came across the funniest.

That's personally why I don't like Reddit. Plus, the upvote system is usually misused on mass, which also contribute towards my dislike, especially when I don't like how things are implemented to begin with.

Bitcointalk is a discussion forum, not a Q&A or a place where people become to be funny or hip. I like that. 

[GxSTxV]

Bitcointalk can change the way you do things. Learn new stuff everyday. Share your knowledge. Make profits and meet great people you won't find in real world.
Beside knowing that this forum is made by the legend who invented bitcoin blockchain
The forum i find it perfect and very simple to use for everyone

I totally get some of your points, but the sort of "stepped" system of responses on Reddit is really underappreciated. In contrast to Bitcointalk, where you'd have to scroll down and check a few pages to see if someone has replied to someone's reply through a quote.

e.g.

I think that's the key difference here. Reddit can be read in a hurry, and therefore it's a better system for certain types of content. However, Bitcointalk is designed to be read in a chronological order, and therefore everything read to keep relevant in the discussion.

The merit system probably wouldn't work as well with a upvote system either, since it becomes about popularity, and I like discovering newbies with good points to be made. I know it works on Reddit, obviously it's a very popular platform, but I just think from a discussion point of view I prefer the implementation here.

What I do like, from the forum software "discourse" is everyone can reply to a specific message, and it has a drop down menu. That system is chronological, but also has that additional functionality. It's just a shame that Discourse has a lot of other additional functionality which comes across messy. It's like they've tried to revolutionise every feature, which just congests it. I do like the quote system though.

[salad daging]

The Merit system, I guess. Whenever I see the count increases, it makes my day

Right, I think my post will be highly appreciated by people when they send a merit system that is an award for me for posts that I think are good or quality. lol 

I prefer people who are humble but they give good treatment at least they give manners everywhere.


But what's on the forum all discussions are still appreciated.

[Cookdata]

I have yet to find a public forum that provides an act of love and humanity anyplace on the internet like Bitcointalk. I've seen a lot of posts in this forum where people have donated money to help out suffering families, especially those who have lost loved ones in floods and war.  I have read through some trying times of corona threads and hundreds and thousands of dollars donated to locals through this forum. Where does this occur on the internet? Even the so-called Gofundme takes time for people to donate, but Bitcointalk members are always quick to respond to the problems of others and that gives me goosebumps, these show that people are kind regardless of our differences, Bitcointalk has proved it several times.

[Asiska02]

Given what I've learnt so far, the knowledge gained here cannot be undervalued. We can never repay seeing those with enormous knowledge who are willing to share it for free. Before joining this forum, I knew nothing about bitcoin, just knew it was a digital currency that can be used as money but now that I have learned more, I am able to explain bitcoin to someone who is just starting to learn about it. I used to think of the Bitcoin chart as a monitor showing the lifeline of a hospital patient who is ill, rising and falling. Even though I can't completely forecast how the chart will appear over the next few days, I now understand what it signifies and how to read it. The knowledge I've gained from this forum is immeasurable, and I'll always be thankful to everyone who has helped us and the creator of this platform.

[Rikafip]

I'll go one further and say it's most likely because businesses and brands are only willing to pay for posts if the forum it's made on is a reputable one.

There are many reputable forums so I don't think that's the main issue. Question still remains how come no other old&reputable forums (at least none that I am active on)  never tried with signature & avatar campaigns. One of the reasons could be how exactly to pay the people (and to remain anonymous), and bitcoin proved to be perfect for that.


Its hardly a minor thing, but I do appreciate the freedom bitcointalk provides, something that all other forums seriously lack off.

I was referring to crypto forums in particular. If those forums were crypto inclined, they would have never needed to worry about how projects can pay participants anonymously, as they would understand how Bitcoin works.

I am not as frequent on different forums, so there could be some reputable crypto inclined ones which have enough traffic to monetize it somehow, but choose no to through sigs or avatars. I was speaking on my personal observation.
