Can anyone explain how Bitcointalk ₿ forum converted to dollars $ forum?

[arzuo]

Today I logged my Bitcoin Talk ₿ account and was a bit surprised.
The dollar is being used instead of Bitcoin, and Dollar symbol has been added to the user rating.

I’m  confused about this type of change . As we know, the dollar is Normally ( USD) the national currency of the (USA) United States, although it also Important as a major part in the global oil market and Global economy as a patro dollar.

 Recently, especially with tensions like the Ira situation, there have even been discussions about alternatives such as the petro-dollar or the use of other currencies like the Chinese yuan.

Given this context, doesn’t using the dollar symbol and name on Bitcoin Talk suggest some level of support for the US dollar?

We generally think of Bitcoin as a global store of value. So couldn’t a different name have been used instead of “dollar”? For example: “Global Currency,” “World Wealth,” “People’s Currency,” or “Public Value/Currency.”

If it wasn’t possible to keep the name Bitcoin, then why was the dollar name and symbol chosen?

You are a newbie, let me tell you what is happening. It is April fool's day. Just take anything happening today on the forum not to be true if you see them not true kind of. We have April fool's day on this forum where people just prank people. Admin also like to prank members. You can also see the forum changed to green, it is all part of it. All will end immediately tomorrow.

Go to Meta board to see many weird discussions.

You might have been sleeping for too long; a few hours ago, Trump and his military might have invaded the Bitcointalk forum, and power was forced out of the hands of themos, and the forum is now fully centralized. Everything that has to do with the now should be based on USD; there is no more Bitcoin forum. What we have now is a dollar forum, and if you are caught repeatedly praising Bitcoin and discrediting the dollar, which is the king, you will get banned.

The answer is here
Official Forum Rebranding: Welcome to the Dollar Forum.

Your topic is about the forum, not about the Bitcoin (before today) or Dollar (today) so this topic needs to be in Meta board. You can move your thread to Meta board that is for forum-related discussions.

I think Nwada001 answer sums it up perfectly well. There is nowhere the US army can’t infiltrate, at this point we just have to surrender to their power.

This day will make you remember to always check the date if you see something ridiculous especially on the news headline of the forum.

Opening a green theme forum this morning already gives me a signal that something is off since forum doesn’t customize color themes anymore.

Experiencing so many April fools in the forum makes me an over thinker.

lol
you are already  late on this and you need not to worry so much about what's going on but just do your regular thing and maybe after you sleep tonight and wake up, thing might just go back to normal but for now, observe and enjoy the colours of the forum because they really look very beautiful.

i also had some stress about what was going on not until i went to the metal board and got the actual grip of what's going on and so i tell you not to worry but just explore the forum as usual

thermos asked AI what he can do to increase the value of the forum before its upcoming ICO, then he used open claw and claude code to vibe code a new version of the forum -- this is why you see the green theme

Fat boy thermos planted a sadistic jif in our front yard today.  He's prolly still lookin to get a yard of penis, aint gonna get it, so he's up there somewhere in his ivory tower like a noog nog.

That's the truth.

Meanwhile happy that I inspired him with my bitcoin is worthless thread.


To add to the dollar them Donald Trump will be signing all new usd bills.  Wait to sell you btc and when the Trump greenback come out get them.

It happens every 1st April of every year.
Last year, bitcoin was chosen, that was why you met bitcoin.
This year, dollar is chosen and you will keep seeing the dollar forum till 1st April 2027, by then, another currency such as Nigerian Naira could also be chosen.

The DT members vote to choose which currency to be used. The vote is conducted in the DT board that is not visible to Jr members.

Most certainly,
Foxpup got all the fat cock boys although, I always wondered how The Sceptical Chymist made the cut. I guess he has the keys to them Didos draws and always very submissive in the BDSM sessions.

Meanwhile, you guys just managed to get Trumps attention with this dollar thingy as, his most recent tweet does capture how the white house would be making a move on a Bitcoin-Dollar integration.

Seeking attention in the wrong place, wouldn’t be surprised to have a lot of them CIA folks here aside from Vod and Rikafip.

Where did all the green go? We are back to being a bitcoin forum, I will be the first to retract my comment about usd being supreme above my beloved satoshis.

[SamReomo]

I missed it but that happens on each 1st April, the admin theymos enjoys April and always does that April fool trick to members for entertainment purpose. Last year I remember the merit poker thing and that was also quite awesome and members noticed it that on 1st April such things happens but those aren't part of the forum, they're for fun and entertainment purpose. Everyone has to laugh and theymos knows how to make others laugh on 1st April.

I have nothing to retract, I couldn't fall for the prank. I spent all day worrying if the forum is hacked already. It was an expensive shit, a joke? Almost blinded my eyes too. I thought I was too old to be fooled and here I was, caught in the web.Blue is gold.

Yeah fam, course it does—man was movin’ proper sarcastic at them dollar-backed tingz, innit. And big man, it was April 1st yesterday… whole thing was a joke, don’t get spun, bruv. Anyway yeah, we need more fresh youts thinkin’ free like you.—man’s out here are sleepin’, you get me?

A brand newbie I was that time of April last year and it was my first time to experience the changes on that April 1st, I was confused cause I never really knew much about poker and now the forum that I only joined not too long was changing to merit poker structure. Almost then, I began searching about poker and how I can understand it much much better. At last it was all April fool's trick.


Yesterday with all the praises showered on the dollar in the forum it must have been feeling like the king of the jungle within those hours bitcoin-talk went for vacation on the warrant of theymos. Fun it was really.

The trick is that you should watch out on every 1st of April each year and see what next year could be, you are just fortunate to experience this year and anything could come up next year as an April fool fun by the forum administrator, this has been a kind of comic experience that we all enjoy from the forum every year whereby something you need is being used to catch fun on the first day of April and all you discover is that the following the everything got disappeared and return to normal.
