Question to the crystal ball.

[Poker Player]

How much time do paid signature campaigns have left in this forum? I am asking my crystal ball but it does not answer me.

I guess the casino campaigns have some years left but I don't see many other sectors that are going to be interested in advertising here, as they have so many alternatives.

[Oshosondy]

We can only guess but we can not know much about when there will no more be a signature campaign on this forum anymore. What I just know is that we should not depend on only this forum as a source of income. We should have other means to earn money. But I guess that as long as the traffic on this forum is more than a million, this will attract some gambling sites to still be on this forum.

[Solosanz]

If Elon Musk, PlanB, CZ and any other popular people/institution choose to being active in this forum over twitter, the traffic will be very big since it would attract people to come in this forum.

It's hard to forecast when it will end because if there are few projects willing to pay big reward, it will make the signature campaign become competitive again.

I guess it will not completely end instead they will pay peanut.

What I just know is that we should not depend on only this forum as a source of income. We should have other means to earn money.

Most people always say like this, don't depend on signature campaign and have other source of income like freelance or gigs, but when I ask what freelance jobs you do, they mostly disappear...

Freelance nowadays is already over saturated and ridiculously hard to find clients.

Good question, but really hard to find the answer, however, if i am to be honest, the future of signature campaigns kind of looks bleak in my honest opinion, especially based on the situation right now. With mixers gone, it was predicted to be like this. Gambling casinos are going to come and go, but not in such a large number, a few instant exchanges here and there, but apart from that, i don't see other sectors of the industry coming here to advertise.

[TheUltraElite]

The forum will continue to exist even if projects stop their signature campaigns. Eventually the forum will be found by new bitcoiners and they will attempt to restart the campaigns once again. It like a cycle, in my opinion and I have the feeling that complete stop of all campaigns at any instant will likely not happen. Most likely their number may reduce over time but they will eventually be replaced by new ones.

Crystal balls are scams, mmaky?

[yahoo62278]

Signature campaigns are going to last as long as companies find value in them. There really isn't any way to tell if that will be days, weeks, months, or years. Just stack that btc while you can cause one day there will be no more earning it free.

These people will get a hard time using the forum or even criticize how the site looks like (due to  the old-looking design of this forum knowing these same people have different view of the future) and operates despite how technology grows on the past few years, this is in relation of UX and modern web design.

These people won't spend any a single minute of their time browsing the forum. Maybe just trying to look at the most interesting threads that are published or trying to look back for each post of satoshi. IMHO, cz has been here and advertised Binance through the great days of ICO and he's currently serving his jailtime or is he allowed to use a phone there? Vitalik was once here and I think he'd definitely get a lot of attention by doing some throwbacks on his socials about his humble beginnings here. As for Elon, he's got twitter/X and he likes trolling much there.

[Stalker22]

Other options besides forum signatures have been out there for a while, even before crypto became popular.  Social media sites, personal blogs, and specialized review websites have existed for years and  forum sites used to be the main place people went but they dont have as much impact anymore.

Signature campaigns might stick around in gambling forums, but its tough to see them lasting in other areas.  I think advertisers will keep funding these campaigns if they keep getting results.  But if better options come up, theyll eventually move on.

[Darker45]

Advertisers prioritize platforms where traffic is busy. Popular social media platforms are where crypto companies will definitely focus their ads. But for as long as the forum has visitors, advertisers will find their presence here useful. Whether they stay or not ultimately depends on the impact their ads have on their business when they do the analysis at the end of the day. But I doubt there will come a time when nobody visits this place anymore. This forum has so much value, so much history, the only forum focused on Bitcoin.

While the number of signature campaigns rise and fall, it might stay around for a long while.

[Z-tight]

The forum will continue to exist even if projects stop their signature campaigns.

Surely the forum is not run by signature campaigns and even if all signature campaigns stop, the forum will continue; however, what is going to happen to the forums traffic, it will take a very big hit, so many members will look for other forums where they can get some incentive for posting.

in my opinion and I have the feeling that complete stop of all campaigns at any instant will likely not happen. Most likely their number may reduce over time but they will eventually be replaced by new ones.

You are right and it is almost impossible for all campaigns to stop. Just that if casinos make up ~ 99% of the campaigns in the forum, and only a few of them run long lasting campaigns, then it would get to a point that there are only a few campaigns, but so many members looking a slot, and it is close to saying there are no campaigns.

How much time do paid signature campaigns have left in this forum? I am asking my crystal ball but it does not answer me.

As long as platforms continue branding themselves to maintain their edge over the market, we will see platforms continuously branding themselves, even if they are already very popular, to keep hold of the leadership in the market.

I guess the casino campaigns have some years left but I don't see many other sectors that are going to be interested in advertising here, as they have so many alternatives.

The case is not about being interested. It's about them not knowing how well Bitcointalk can pull traffic to their platform and brand their service or product. The campaign manager's job is to invite them here to try the conversion and results.

I think that time is still there. I have been on this forum since 2016 and signature campaigns have come and gone all the time but there are many that stayed on this forum. There are many benefits that come with actively promoting on this forum, and one of them is trust. Casinos that get negative trust on this forum often struggle because many people check "casino name + scam" in Google and when they see red tags on casino accounts, I think they hesitate to gamble there. On the other hand, casinos with green trust on this forum perform well outside the forum too.

Signature campaigns on this forum will last till we have as active users as LoyceV, Philipma, PowerGlove, Skeptical Chymist and etc... Their number is huge and I can't include all of them. It's very noticeable when such active members leave this forum, for example - o_e_l_e_o. I think everyone feels that he is not on this forum anymore.

Also, the activity of campaign managers play a significant role. As long as signature campaign managers actively contact casinos and negotiate with them to run a signature campaign on this forum, they'll be here. This forum still has good traffic and is beneficial for SEO too. The rest depends on theymos.

[LTU_btc]

I don't have crystal ball to answer such question. Now though for some time and I think there is simply too many factors. Like it's possible that one day theymos will ban gambling campaigns because of regulations or similar shit. That would end 90% of current campaigns.
I predict that in upcoming several years signature campaigns will remain, but there won't be many new campaigns appearing. Mainly current long term campaigns without many participants will remain.

If Elon Musk, PlanB, CZ and any other popular people/institution choose to being active in this forum over twitter, the traffic will be very big since it would attract people to come in this forum.

Such thing sounds soooo unrealistic. Forums in general is turning into things from past for mainstream, something like mIRC or Skype.

Is it free now? Well, it's free in the sense that earning from sig is a privilege (very few number of people) but we all know sig camp has been turned into what.

I would not agree that any individual is the deciding factor for a sig campaign (or all campaigns) to be present on this forum. All these companies are looking for a place to advertise, and they will be on the forum as long as they have results from that same advertisement or until the forum bans them from advertising for some reason.

As for members who have left us, it is unfortunately a natural process that will continue, and over the years we have lost many members who were well-known on the forum.

That's true they play a significant contribution on signature campaigns here, in the past projects will go here to promote their platforms but now since there are a lot of new alternatives and new projects that are not aware of Bitcointalk they have to work to invite them and try Bitcointalk to promote their projects.

We have to give them due credits for their works and as members of this forum we must do our job and make it a passion to contribute good content here in Bitcointalk to pull up traffics from the internet.

Important members you have listed here, no doubt; however, the existence of signature campaigns in bitcointalk does not depend on any user, what matters is the all round traffic in the forum. Funny thing is they complement one another, campaigns and traffic; if there is traffic, campaigns will come, and campaigns help to generate traffic in the forum.

Also, the activity of campaign managers play a significant role. As long as signature campaign managers actively contact casinos and negotiate with them to run a signature campaign on this forum, they'll be here. This forum still has good traffic and is beneficial for SEO too.

I don't think this would ever be a problem, there are enough campaign managers in the forum, and there are a lot still waiting to make their mark as campaign managers. So they will surely contact casinos, because it benefits them, the casinos and the forum.

If you haven't noticed, even we are having trouble finding offers for our signatures.

[LoyceMobile]

No more mixers, and the ban on most online gambling advertising in my country doesn't leave many options.
It's not the lack of offers

I'm okay without signature though, and really like not being paid per post. Even my last few signature didn't have any posting requirements.
