What are the most lively online bitcoin forums for the UK and Germany, respectively?

I was not able to find any of them; with advanced Google searches.

Here's the German forum on Bitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=16.0
It currently has aroun 170k posts and is one of the oldest local forums here.

Bitcointalk without a shadow of doubt
I remember looking for the UK some time back, and the vast majority of user-generated content is on here

Re: Germany - the Bitcointalk Deutsch section is for speaking the German language, less related to Germany as a country; so how should non-German speakers engage with Germany related questions, but not in the German language?

In country specific user communities there used to be an English section for foreign guest to that country; you get the idea.

Re: UK - How UK residents find each other on the whole Bitcointalk forum for UK specific topics, as only a small percentage of members from the whole community are from the UK?

Bottom line: not only language but location specific forum communities or topics still make sense.

I'm not sure if there are specific english and german forums, but this is obviously the biggest (and best) bitcoin forum out there. I don't think there would be that much demand for a english-specific forum, but maybe you could open up a thread somewhere for that sort of stuff.

There are a decent amount of Ukers here, i think people are even more likely to want to stay anonymous vs normal internet forums.  People here seem less fussed about countries & borders when connecting with others.

Maybe someone could create BitBook like facebook for bitcoiners.

There are probably a lot of 'Uk-ers' here. I'd guess we're probably one of the largest populations here after the USA.

This forum is great for a number of reasons. There's a wealth of information or be found here and many helpful people, and you can also easily make bitcoins by buying and selling stuff and also signature advertising. I don't know any other forum where you can earn money just from posting and I doubt they'll be any other bitcoin ones unless they get a hell of a lot of traffic.

Bitcointalk has a section for German speakers.

See post number 4.

There is a lot of people from the UK and Germany here. If you want, you can post on the bitcoin discussion thread and just call people from UK and German out there. Smiley

Sure, you want to stay anonymous for this, but you have some country specific issues come up, right? Then discussing it or looking for your country-mates on a big international forum is like searching for a needle in the haystack; not ideal to say the least.

In conclusion; my recommendation to moderation: why not make country-specific branches instead of language specific ones? Easy as that.

Thanks folks! Anyways, I use the existing structure the best I can.

This may be a surprise to you, but a good number of members in the German section speak English too. I'm sure, if you coordinate with a mod you might be able to open an English thread there too, if the thread is about "German" matters.

I much prefer to be thrown into one international pot such as bitcointalk than to be fragmented by national borders that really do not benefit me.

im british and id love a UK sub category. i use to talk about £ pounds alot and offering advice and stuff as if i was talking to other brits. but the yanks kept sending me PM's asking me to convert values to dollars.

theres many reasons for country based sub-categories rather than/also than language. as people can organise meetups and talk about their native currencies and local news as oppose to american based stuff

I DO NOT TRADE OR ACT AS ESCROW ON THIS FORUM EVER.
