bitcoin talk continues to lose influence over the cryptoindustry,

same is the case with coinmarketcap.

with bitcoinfounders losing the grip bitcoins value will also collapse

so dont expect a mooning of bitcoin towards 50k there wont be one.

losing 11% viewers every month since last 5 months and we dont know how the loses where before, is not a good sign.

i think problem lies that unlike for communal or state currencies,

no one except the bitcoin miners and bitcoin holders have an interest supporting this cryptocurrency.

regards
I do not see how you can make those conclusions, the forum losses some viewers and readers and somehow you try to extrapolate this to mean that bitcoin is not going to go up in value as it did before, even if this forum disappeared tomorrow this will not affect the capability of bitcoin to reach incredible prices in the future.

In every movement of bitcoin price on CMC there is bitcointalk to create every topic speculating the price and prediction by the movements but still, I guess 20% will happen. Not overall influencing these sites but it gives a lot of information to all people who are engaging in bitcoin and discussed it here in the forum.

The day bitcointalk has no new signups is the day bitcoin really starts to arrive. Do you ever go to androidtalk? Nope. You just use it.

How is bitcoin not going to reach 50k and bitcointalk/CMC losing influence connected? I don't get the connection. Or is there something I missed? Bitcointalk and CMC losing influence is actually a good thing, whether you like it or not. The biggest names losing influence means that there's good competition going on. Which is good overall to decrease centralization in the space.
That and we have actual business news organizations starting to cover Bitcoin and it's movements, Bitcointalk will continue on but with a lot more altcoin discussion. Which is fine especially if the main developer area stays untouched we don't need or want the spam in there anyways.

Those are both very good points.  The other thing to keep in mind is that forums themselves are not all that appealing to the mainstream.  I've told many friends who're just getting into crypto about this forum and most are daunted by it's volume.  Searching google is much easier for an answer to a question you may have, and bitcoin discussion isn't their thing. 

One friend who has more affinity to forums in general is reluctant to join because of the "Dark Web" affiliations the forum has had, and to be frank, all the scams that seem to get their footing here.

These things may be bad for the forum, but they really don't affect bitcoin's position in the mainstream market.  Like kingcolex said, news and information about bitcoin is all over the media now, mainstream business news outlets are reporting about crypto. 

And as for CMC, I believe that's purely attributable to market share.  As in they now have to share the market with the hundreds of other sites providing the same information.

I think that is the effect of falling bitcoin prices, so it is rare for people to see bitcoin prices on coinmarketcap and rarely visit people on bitcointalk, and in my opinion that will not be a problem because both of them will be crowded again when the price of bitcoin becomes very high again.

I think CMC keeps losing influence over cryptomarket but I doubt bitcointalk, the forum and the base of all talks about bitcoin can lose influence at all.

Look at the topics, whenever the price is going up to $7k+ levels than there is a lot of topics about how "bitcoin is going to $50k" and whenever it drops to $6k levels there are topics of "bitcoin is going to $3k" type stuff.

Whenever, there is a market movement to a side there are topics making it even worse, none of them actually happens but we keep seeing them. Of course this doesn't mean influence but it still means bitcointalk is filled with people talking about their ideas and people who agree or disagree with them.

Bitcointalk still has lot of bounties going where the bounty hunters making tons of reports everyday which kind of traffic maybe decreased from the past years because of the signature campaigns have beedn decreased from how it was before.But it doesn't related to the prices since most of the people who owning the bitcoin and trading with crypto currencies don't even know the existence of Bitcointalk.org

Practically everyone on this forum is wearing a signature, the majority of visitors here are only for the quick buck in bounties. This year was not so good in earnings, and this is why loads of people have abandoned this space. It's quite an obvious reason for the decrease in rankings. All the ones who are in for the tech are still here.

I disagree with your last words (lol)

Actually, it is not about tech only. For example, myself I'm mostly posting in Economics, Trading, and the boards related to these two topics. And the number of interesting posts dramatically decreased during the last two years, while the authors writing them are mostly gone and likely for good. And the merit system didn't change anything for the better, as you may see many die-hard shitposters among merit hunters who stick around Meta threads where your chances of receiving a merit are the highest (and yes, I've been there)

bitcoiners evovle to a lonely pow cult,

problem is in a millenia old human systematic.

money printers are only servants not the long term rulers.

royal minting in uk doesnt rule uk and is its richest entity, why should the technitions around crypto be different?

industry will evolve away from them.
You have shown yourself to be a fool, we are in the middle of Bitcoin taking massive amounts of market share back from failing altcoins and ICOs aren't launching nearly as often.

Keep spewing your false bullshit.

just a guy thats high on some shit making NOISES....

Saw this thread late... Some direct conclusions can be made but context is everything in any analysis. 11% viewership drop off in the past 5 months? That's perfectly in sync with general Bitcoin interest dropping off after the xrazy highs only weeks before that trend.

Google shows it, every other established platform does. That's the insta fanboys dropping off.

Then we got to look at what's changed in the past 5 months other than price and speculator interest. We saw Merit being introduced and then more diligent policing of the spammers. We saw the alt/bounty/airdrop economy seriously contract, and they are finding spam policies here not to their liking. Good riddance, am sure many would agree. Maybe my imagination, but forum is a lot less spammy then a few months ago.

Pretty sure there is much more context to add, but poor conclusions come from poor analysis.

A traffic to a website means absolutely nothing. These could easily be triggered by certain events (a huge price pump/dump, etc.)

If you want to look at the adoption rate, just see the number of ATMs, how bitcoin is spreading and its being accepted almost everywhere etc.

next week we will see weather the 11% loss continues

As long as we are not in a bull market, you should always expect the statistics to be on the dwindling part. This is a state of the market in which there is a huge indecision, lots of FUD, with the downtrend going on and in cases like this, the interest of people in such things or a market in this case, will subside.

However, we will get to see interest boom a lot most times when there is a possibility of some bullish movement, so it is a way of saying that the influence is directly proportional to the movement of the market.

I admit that this forum has lost many viewers every month, there are several reasons that make this happen. that is, they come to this forum only for money and they are desperate with this condition.

most important reason:

decentralisation of the cryptomarket in every way.

if indexation gets decentralised, and localised, its going to go down even quicker

in several hours or tomorrow we will know weather the trend continued this month as well (-11%)

should be an important indication for investors.

bitcoin talk continues to lose influence over the cryptoindustry,

same is the case with coinmarketcap.

They lose influence and ranks on different scales from January. But they gained a lot from last January. Why January 2018? Because Bitcoin reached ATH a month before and there was biggest hype. Bitcoins bear market will soon end, then price will go sideways for few months and then slowly bull market will start.  All thsi will not put much influence on this 2 websites you mention. But as soon as Bitcoin price reached old ATH at $20k then hype will start and ...   Well you will see.

It sadly we came into these scenario and leading market to hardly recover from long days in dip. Even though we all been an optimistic individual but we can't neglect of thinking negative about crypto life span. And even experts never say that there is a sky rocket happen again, we've been satisfied to have prices playing around $6k -$7k so people won't makes big losses in future if it suddenly goes down.
