How come people spend days here?

[Eternalman]

Hey all,

Although I have been interested and in and out of this forum for a about year now, it is only recently that I decided to get serious and learn and perhaps chat here to get more real insights from people with more experience and knowledge.

But one thing I noticed is that many people spend hours upon hours here, like really long hours, which made me think, like how come?

Do you guys make a living commenting and being here or are you really that passionate about web3/ crypto and blockchain?

Maybe they really just want to? People spend hours and hours using social media everyday. Bitcointalk is slightly similar — it's just that 95% of conversations are concerning Bitcoin/crypto and not some celebrity gossip or something. Bitcoin/crypto is at least far more interesting in my opinion.

Some people the former, some people the latter. In my case — both.

Most likely as this is the only forum that, in my opinion, incentivizes knowledge or opinion!

But, for those who were truly interested in bitcoin, this provided a venue for quality discussion that no other platform can replicate. Plus, you can find a lot of entertaining dramas among the members here, including how other members defend themselves when they are caught off-guard breaking forum rules.

Now if you ask me, this forum actually serve as my go-to website to create a habit of learning bitcoin on a daily basis while being rewarded except when there are a lot of schoolworks

I don't know why it's strange for someone when they see that someone spent hours, days or months on a forum, and it's not strange that people spend hours every day on social networks, watching TV or playing games. In the end, everyone chooses how to spend their time, why should it be someone else's concern.

Some are passionate about gambling, politics or the forum serves as a place where they offer their services or sell digital or physical products. Everyone has their own reasons and not everything is as it seems at first glance.

I've seen people spending just as much time on Facebook, without even being incentivized to do so. Or playing games (online or offline). Or on TV.
So it depends from person to person, really. Going out is no longer "the thing" it should be. And if staying in, why not here?

This forum (too) is a very interesting "world", and spending time and being part of the community doesn't look like wasted time.
Of course, getting incentivized to be here and post is an important part/factor. How important, again, depends from person to person and also probably on how big the incentive is (depending on the campaign) and how badly the person needs that money. I would also not underestimate the interest in the actual people in here (online friends made on the forum).

In my case it's (also) both (the interest/passion about Bitcoin and the entire underlying technology and also the incentive) and, I'd say, even more than those two (ie the people).

Bitcointalk can be addictive especially when you love everything bitcoin and crypto related discussions. I spend much of my time reading posts in various board though I don’t comment much because most times what I want to say has already been said or I really don’t have much technical knowledge on the subject but it is always interesting to read. It’s not a bad habit to have, I rather spend time on an educational platform than on a website where nobody is discussing anything reasonable and everyone is trying to force their opinions on others and

I wasn't criticizing, I was merely curious, well, quite curious in fact, to see that there is a forum of such significance and I somehow stumbled on it. But people seem to be dedicating their lives to it. I am sure it would have been interesting for any one

I think there are still many forums that specialize in specific areas and are very active, so even though many claim that this way of communication is less and less attractive, for anyone interested in Bitcoin, this is still much more than an ordinary forum. I say that because this is where it all started, and this is actually where much of the history is found, which also includes all the posts from Satoshi in the early days.

I think that the expression "people seem to be dedicating their lives to it" sounds exaggerated, because I am sure that most of the members spend most of their time in some other places, doing some completely different ordinary things. Of course, there are always members who really spend a lot of time on the forum, but for some this is much more than a forum and that should be understood in some way.

Have you considered the numbers of hours some people spend on the social media like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp and many others without having something tangible enough to learn or improve one's life with, all they post is a garbage of shits and trolls that makes no meaning to one's present condition, but the forum here is a community and not a place of chats and unserious posts refuse dump, the forum is organized and being professional with the target aim to engage all bitcoin users across the world on a platform whereby their encounter with bitcoin adoption will be at ease, there'll be education and enlightment about bitcoin discussions same here, where we also have varieties of boards and local where you can learn other things and grow which other social media groups doesn't.

Some user field of work is related to programming or online work which is why they can open and use the forum at the time with there job. Besides just leaving your forum account login on a separated tab is already counted as active hour. It’s impossible to make forum for for a leaving except if you are on chipmixer campaign and lives on country with low cost of leaving.

But in general. Most of the people the user that always active here is due to the nature of there job. I once a company worker before and I usually open my forum account on my computer then browse when I have free time.

People get fully involved in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency when they come here and interact with experienced forum users, as experienced forum users are always ready to provide all possible help related to Bitcoin here when any user asks questions.

Many people are addicted to social media platforms, and some of them are not benefiting from them, but this forum will help you gain more knowledge about life and also about Bitcoin investment, which if you are lucky, can yield a good profit.

Most users in this forum has no interest with web3 or shitcoins, they're (including me) only focus to Bitcoin. This is Bitcointalk forum where the majority of the users are Bitcoin enthusiasts and they're put most of their investment money to Bitcoin.

This forum is really great when you want to see if there's a rumor or news about Bitcoin, with the help of many users, you can know if the news is fake or legit. Because if you only read the news on someone articles, you don't have any way to communicate with the others and only trust with the authors without search in depth.

when you haven't followed the direction of the discussion on the forum. it will be seen how it is possible. people spend a lot of their time just reading and discussing.
it's like people who already like an activity. it gave him more time to work on it.

we can see forum members who have survived long enough. they don't spend all their time on forums. they will look active for some time. it's like logging into the forums at leisure.

I believe it depends on each person's motivation for visiting the forum. Some people are constantly on hand to assist others in finding solutions to their difficulties, and many of them have also participated in signature campaigns, which is how they became addicted to the site. Again, a lot of people are always engaged in things here because they are not overly exposed to office and home activities. However, since I haven't had any opportunities to work elsewhere, I use this forum as my office and am constantly active here because I like how  the members are operating in the forum.

I just checked your profile and yeah you're more than a year in the forum. Judging from your activity count it shows you're not that interested in the forum else you'll know why people don't spend most of their time here and not on other social media platforms that promote nothing but immorality. The answer to your last question is yes, it is possible if you're interested to make a living here.

This is something I have noticed here, even if you are involved in altcoins immediately you get into bitcointalk you will realise you have been in the wrong side of crypto currency. Many that can't cope have left.

Hey OP once you start engaging in the forum discussions will find here a home more trust worthy than social media

[CryptoPanda]

Maybe it’s because the ecosystem here is not polluted. Everyone loves some fresh air, bitcointalk gives just that. It’s very different from every other community you can find on the internet, and it begins to grow on you. If you want to learn something about cryptocurrency, this is best place for a newbie. I have seen some copycats using the same logo and UI as this forum but the quality of discussion is what separates the real from the wannabes. Bitcointalk isn’t perfect, many newbies can’t cope, mainly because they thought the forum was something else..the ones that did stay are far better than they were in the beginning.

[WhatDoIKnow]

Bitcointalk is a forum dedicated to discussing Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. It is a popular online community for people interested in cryptocurrency, and it offers a wide range of discussion topics and resources for people to learn about and stay up-to-date on the latest developments in the cryptocurrency space.

There are several reasons why people might spend a lot of time on Bitcointalk. Some people may be actively involved in the development or use of cryptocurrency, and they may use the forum as a way to stay informed about new developments and collaborate with others in the community. Others may be interested in investing in cryptocurrency and may use the forum as a way to research and learn about different coins and projects. Some people may also simply be interested in the technology and culture of cryptocurrency and may enjoy participating in discussions and debates about various topics related to the space.

Ultimately, people spend time on Bitcointalk because it is a convenient and engaging way to connect with others who share their interests in cryptocurrency and to stay informed about the latest developments in the industry.

[Sandra_hakeem]

It all depends on you, yeah...
You don't really have time for the forum doesn't mean every other person does that for some kinda pleasure or reasons you don't know... It is actually the case here yes; your inconsistency doesn't make that.
Yunno, as much as I do -- that if everyone else isn't giving in much time and attention in here as you don't, then this place would be some kinda quiet and boring site that people won't even find it interesting -- you won't either and I don't think paid signatures would offer any slots in here.... So the whole system begins to crumble the day everyone decides to stay off.

True. It is their own time anyway. Here in the forum, I do not have the feel to comment sometimes. Sometimes you will have those days that you just do not want to do anything the whole day.

@OP Not sure if there are people really do "make" a living in commenting in here, since no one knows nor does really care much on how other's spend their time in here, but regardless it's just like how you always do your daily hobby or other stuffs. Sometimes you do your hobby, sometimes you don't and you invest your time to something else.
