How many forum members do you know by real name?

[armanda90]

Sorry I vote 0 because I don't know any member by real name in Bitcointalk forum, although active discussing in local board and we use the same language but I don't know them. I am happy if can meet some one in Bitcointalk forum one day later what ever they are with the same board coming from or have difference country.

Seems not bad if Bitcointalk make new community whatever from the same or difference country, lest give about your skype id maybe and we know the owner name or face them, are men or women active in Bitcointalk forum.

I can neither confirm nor deny that I know any member real name.

Good. Have your lawyer contact mine and let them work it out amongst themselves.

I am not surprised that over 40% of the users voted for not knowing a single person on this forum by name. But what is surprising to me is that almost 1 in 4 members know 3-5 forum users. That is currently the second most chosen answer.

Not surprisingly, it seems so to me. Think about the brothers and sisters, dads and moms, participating in the bounty .
But seriously, we all communicate offline with friends; we say who and what they do, and if you remember 2017 when everyone was shouting about cryptocurrency from every kettle, then entire companies probably came here.
You can really notice the friendly relations in the Nigerian section. For some reason, it seems to me that good information about the forum comes from there, since I see a lot of support for newcomers.

 I ticked 3-5 since I was opportuned to meet with them in a social gathering outside of the forum and the experience was quite cool. It's like removing the proverbial scales from my eyes since I got to connect with them on a deeper level and the perception I initially harboured of them kinda changed.

It would probably be weird to say 0, and I think you're just lying about the number.
Consider that one of your family members or your friends intends to learn about forums and crypto, so they ask you to create a forum account, and would you still say 0?

As of today I have several forum friends who in the previous days asked me to introduce them to the forum. They are newbie and it is very possible for me to get the same rating from them due to their lack of understanding of crypto and forum. 1 or 2 of them have a good process and are still learning, but until then they are just part of the bounty hunter.

Okay, here's a warning: From now on, every time you see o_e_l_e_o's post, you'll hear Olé  Olé  Olé in your head. Just like me

I am not OK with this.

Heh heh....every time I see your username, I hear yodeling in my head and think of the word diphthong. 

..and I guess someone like CHYMIST should be worth craving for (jokes yunno)

You talkin' 'bout me, sweet sister?  I'm down to clown in a Burger King bathroom if it comes to that, but I only give out my real name to people I trust, and said trust has to be earned.  Earned, if you know what I'm sayin'.

[John Abraham]

I know Zero. xD. I know many people here who use weird names as their usernames. I never asked them their real name because I love respecting their privacy. I did not build a good relation with anyone yet. So, It's weird to ask someone's real name when I didn't even talk with him. I won't say whether my username is my real name or not. I believe everyone loves to be anonymous on the internet forum.

I don't think it's weird at all. None of my family or relatives are on Bitcointalk. People from my friends circle that know I am into crypto know absolutely zero about this forum. I don't speak about bitcoin to other friends, colleagues, and acquaintances nor am I aware that any of them use bitcoin in any capacity.

He either has people he knows on the forum or he doesn't. It can't go both ways. 

[leonair]

I know the real name of the Bitcointalk account  of some which are used by my friends or my neighbors. But otherwise I don't know the real name of any account owner.  And I saw most of the users voted for zero  This is a forum and completely bitcoin related so everyone here wants to be anonymous. And everyone uses his nickname  Many people fail to use his real name, because someone has already used that username as his nickname. And this is how everyone's real name remains hidden in this forum and even if someone uses his real name, it is doubtful to believe it ahaha

You are certainly in the minority right now and I doubt much will change with the voting in the future. How did you meet al those people (not counting the ones you knew before you registered here)? Did you guys organize meetups where you would hang out, do some business, and discuss crypto, or where did you come across that many individuals?

There used to be meetups when Bitcoin wasn't that common. Also because the local section was small, people were more likely to get to know each other and meet in real life if they lived nearby. Exchanges were not developed, Bitcoin purchases were made through the forum. I met a lot of people back then. Although many of them stopped posting on the forum, when those people think of Bitcoin this is the first place they look. Some of these people are currently working at Bitcoin related companies, including the biggest local exchanges.
The conditions of 8-10 years ago and now are very different. So I can understand new members not meeting people from the forum or wanting to stay anonymous.

[cygan]

through my raffles and also auctions or wts threads in the collectible section, i know many users with the allegedly correct name, but in the course of time i have forgotten again
from my/our own Icarus project i know all 3 real names. personally i have met so far only one user from this forum. but soon there is another meeting with another known user on the note

I think people met to have interpersonal conversations about bitcoin with forum members and it was rare to see anybody at random that could talk dip on bitcoin 10 year ago. Unlike now, it won't mean a lot to have bitcoin discussion with someone from this forum because they are always people who are not members here that knows about bitcoin. So, it was all that new feelings of beginners trying to meetup with each other in the forum. That'll be rare now and some local boards have more members that seem to stay miles away from each other. I've never met any new friend from this forum let alone know their real name. But, some members were friends of mine who I introduced to the forum and they no longer use the forum because of how complex it appears to them. Other than that, I've never been in that boat.
