I'd never visited that site, to be honest. And it never bothered me for their closure as it never gives help to the crypto community, instead, it poisoned the mind of readers. There is no sense to continue that site and have it alive for they can't also attract the interest of the community.
No other than great over the forum we have and this is a learning tool for the crypto enthusiast to continue their journey. If those readers and followers with that site Bitcoin.com will find https://bitcointalk.org/ site, they will surely find a way to transfer without any hesitation.
Expect for new members? Not really sure of that unless they find comfortable doing this unlike they do in the other site.
Topic: Bitcoin.com forum closes ?? - page 2. (Read 702 times)
A very abrupt announcement , bitcoin.com forum apparently closes on July 23 !! The news was provided by the admin on 24 June. Till the date there is no specific reason so as why the forum is closing..
if we look at the lack of popularity that this forum has in recent years and the things that its owner has done in recent years we can conclude that the best way was to close the forum. But I believe that it will not affect anything ex bitcoin jesus because he is a very well established businessman in this market and it is also to be praised that he has changed a little on his news site, I see that on news.bitcoin.com they are posting news in a neutral way (I would even say there is more news about bitcoin)
Considering how popular the forum is plus it was actually started by an early adopter of Bitcoins I do think this is not a beneficial step for the community.
the forum is no longer popular at least from what I see
Roger Ver probably just trying to create some buzz as I'm not sure there is a bigger attention whore in the cryptocurrency space. Personally imo it would be a good thing, Ver after all claims to be censorship free which is complete bullshit so it's not like his sites allow for open, honest and free dialog anyhow.
I don't get this. Bitcoin.com would be shut down? In what manner? If this is what I think it is then it's a huge problem and doesn't speak well of bitcoin as a currency. People who don't believe in bitcoin would just add it to their jotter so they can always use it against bitcoiners (especially newbies)
IT doesn't have any users (old or new) or created any quality discussions. Plus since roger ver is up to bch, then maybe a bch forum will be made from that domain. But yeah, that forum has been running til this time and have lots of history as well, maybe an archive of the whole forum will be available and saved.
Though, Ver said that this message was posted without his consent and they aren't going to close forum. https://cointelegraph.com/news/oops-roger-ver-says-bitcoincoms-forum-closure-post-was-premature
But message is still there...

Wouldn't surprise me if it was yet another marketing stunt. Anything for attention. Whether it remains open or not, it has always been dead to me, heh.
It would be good if they close whole Bitcoin.com, not just forum. It's described as one of most popular crypto forums, but c'mon, look at it, it looks like ghost forum with minimal activity there. It's not popular at all, so probably there is not many reasons for Ver to keep it. They will focus on other platforms to promote BCH.

According to Similarweb.com,Bitcointalk.org has around 2.28 million pageviews per month,while Bitcoin.com has 3.3 million pageviews per month.You can check Similarweb.com,if you want.
I'm not sure how accurate the similarweb data is,but I was kinda surprised of the results.
Bitcoin.com seems a little bit more popular than Bitcointalk.org,but that's because of the better domain name.
Bitcoin newbies would trust a forum called Bitcoin.com more than Bitcointalk,unfortunately.
What's weird is the monthly traffic of Bitcoin.com increased from 1.9M to 3.1M views in February-March 2020.This is because of the pandemic,I guess.
I doubt that big part of these millions visit Bitcoin.com. Most of them probably goes to News.Bitcoin.com or using their exchange or wallet. So, we shouldn't be surprised about big number of visitors on Ver website. I'm not sure how accurate the similarweb data is,but I was kinda surprised of the results.

They didn't announce anything but just close it abruptly they might just be back with new features like what cryptotalk had been doing. I was there not long ago in the forum but I'm not registered user something lead me there upon searching something. I woudn't be surprised if they also incentivize BCH for posting there if the forum will be back later. Forum is a good way to get more traffic to businesses. I wouldn't give it if I were on their shoe.
but this forum havent incentivize post before ? sorry not familiar with this forum but i only heard little things about them .
paying bch is better than on any other kind of altcoins like what yobit's crypto talk did , they only pay with thier altcoin now . its only a bad move if btc forum shuts down without any warning because some people there might have an important business and thier forum account was important for them . hope they return and explained what happen
I checked it again I saw they will close it by July 23.
It would still be good to get their data like how Loyce collected here in bitcointalk. Maybe for records and reference, the history of the two forums and the battle would be gone forever so it would be best if its documented and everything besides there is information of the users there and here.

Lol if they decide to shut it down, that’s their business. I have not even used that forum for once in my life, I have only been making use of the bitcointalk.org forum ever since I got into this. So, I am not worried about the forum that is owned by Roger Ver. Any other thing that is not Bitcoin but has this name attached to it, to me that’s just a scam. The real one is simply Bitcoin and nothing else. And FYI, this news will not affect the cryptocurrency community or market in any way, it’s still going to keep growing.https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoincom-forum-closes-on-july-23

Honestly, this is surprising me; how you claim it is popular? Could you link me any useful topic there? Like anything on trading tips or how to choose a perfect wallet for bitcoin or any altcoin was announced and became successful or coinmarketcap has any references to that forum for announcement of any coin/token/exchange?Definitely it is not beneficial nor loss to this community. We have 100s of crypto forums and this must be one of them.
Mostly I'm just hoping that many of the people who have been banned from these forums over the years (who probably only came to terms with their bitcointalk ban because they had that other forum to fall back on) don't suddenly try to sneak back in here with new aliases now that those forums are closing.
Stay vigilant on the plagiarism reporting, as I suspect they'll be back to old habits if they do try to return.

If your predictions become true (he is seeking ways to get out of bitcoin completely) this will be disastrous for bitcoin in the short and mid term.
It will be fine in the long term but the recovery might take years. If the rumors were true, this dude owns thousands of btc, then he can pump and dump again it for a long time.

Nah man, Bitcoin isn't even going to experience the slightest of damage. How can a dead forum shutting down even impact bitcoinin the first place?
1. Bitcoin.com is mostly a forum for big blockers(bitcoincash people).
2. Bitcoin.com's forum has been on a downtrend for years, and is only on it's last leg.
Yeah the forum was effectively dead with no discussion or new topics. Even the BCH people prefer reddit over that forum.
Bitcoin.com though is giving conflicting information about bitcoin and calling bitcoin as BTC=Bitcoin Core while Bitcoincash as bitcoin. And many new users are getting more confused on visiting the site.
The site still works? many people know dont about bitcoin.com forums, the only popular forum is this one.
Poor promotion by that ver made many people buy bch and she thinks she bought bit[Suspicious link removed]gle has said responsible for that because it shows the forum as the first result when you search.
Does anyone know the reason for the closure? Some legal? Or is it a new game?

If he was that smart he wouldn't have gone with bcash in the first place. I'd rather expect him go with the maximum damage route this time because why not.
His kind of people usually don't go down silently.

being smart is not always about being constructive and honest, sometimes it is about service self interest and in his case it has always been about making money and filling his own pocket at any cost even if it is scamming others. supporting bcash falls under the same reasoning. he would have never been able to gain control over such a large percentage of hashrate in bitcoin but he did in bcash, he would have never been able to take the control of biggest portion of bitcoin market but did in bcash, he would have never been able to pump and dump and make profit from bitcoin that he did in bcash,.... and a lot more.
What do you guys think about it ? Does it matter in your opinion ? Should we be ready for some more new members here soon ?
People in Bitcoin.com usually coming here in Bitcointalk.org for some news as well so i think most of them will be coming here permanently now after the said forum closed next month.
What i am thinking is the true reason why suddenly they need to close the forum while there are many active members circling their platform up to now.
and it is alarming that a Big Bitcoin forum closing,because just like Bitcointalk.org Bitcoin.com is active for bitcoin users.
It will be fine in the long term but the recovery might take years. If the rumors were true, this dude owns thiusands of btc and he can pump and dump again it for a long time.
I think he's smart enough to sell his coins on OTC so he can get the full money. Besides, volumes are quite good so I don't think it will be that disastrous.

I think you're confused. We're not talking about Bitcointalk, but another forum

I think this forum is the most popular for anything/everything Bitcoin/Crypto. Also I see huge success rate of HQ threads and post replies here than there. I have heard a few months back they fired most of their staff and closed the bitcoin(dot)com merchandise store.
If the forum is closed the opposite will happen But I don't think this forum can be closed so soon The bitcointalk forum is very popular for working on crypto Most people in the crypto world depend on forums. It is more popular than other sites If this site goes down many people will lose their source of work This is a very reliable site Bitcoin Talk is very trustworthy in terms of various activities and staying active There is no reason to be so close.
