nope its true according to
https://www.similarweb.com/website/bitcointalk.orgbitcoin talk is losing around 2 million users per month since march, i think users will migrate to other forums, doing a linear prognosis then we can expect this forum to be dead in around 9 months
Hhahahha no. I don't think so. Where will they migrate? bitcoin.com? I don't think so.
bitcointalk has been getting less users because of the new merit system; and I'm pretty sure about that.
I'm guessing the same. I came across a thread in Meta that seems to confirm:
Rather than make a long post, I will just say look at the "Archived Profiles" at the top right of
https://bpip.orgA few seconds later, refresh the page - see how the number is going up? Yes, there were (are?) that many people signing up per minute on this forum...
Most new accounts are not making any posts at all, meaning three months later they become archived.
This is a GOOD sign. Before merit introduction, most of these profiles were making garbage posts.
We just need to wait until all the shitposter sMerit has been used up. Then there will be NO incentive and no forum posts about bitcointalk being a "lottery win".
Also, dead in 9 months? You wish. I don't see this forum dying even in 9 years.
Agreed. I think there's two things happening. Interest and hype across all cryptocurrency-related mediums has died down. And it's only natural that things like old school forums lose overall market share as more mainstream news and finance sites enter the game.
