it is actually the opposite way around, if btc died the forum would die not the forum be able to kill a currency

Yeah, and there would be nothing stopping other forums from popping up if there continues to be enough people that want to talk about it.

I would think the forum has a very small impact on the actual price of bitcoin.

There is no way this forum has even a small impact on the price currently trading.  How could it when individuals are trading in large ass qualities every hour on the blockchain?  I am sure it does have an impact but it is very minimal.

Bitcointalk is just a small part of BTC world. There are many other forums, there's reddit and there are also bitcoiners which don't care to read any of them.

I disagree, this forum has been a big part in getting a lot of people that are already into bitcoin answers tha cant find elsewhere, problem is there is just so man trolls now, ignore them and you will get the right answer to just about any btc problem you may be having.

As for Reddit, many members of this forum hate reddit and all the stand for so enough said on that.

There's no doubt in my mind that this forum has benefited bitcoin and those who use bitcoins.  This forum provides a means for commerce and is a huge social venue that has connected many people rather they be experts or are just starting out learning about bitcoin.

However, it's also a microcosm of the larger world in that things aren't always good.  There are criminals looking to scam and they are successful which can also be of detriment to the actual value of bitcoin.  I think this last point is something that's lost on immature criminals.  Fiat is established and can take a heist here or there.  But you take something like Mt Gox and well... you see the result.  Bitcoin is much more volatile and susceptible to negative price trends as a result of criminal activity rather that be here in the forums or in a real exchange.

the effect of bitcointalk on bitcoin can not be denied. there are a lot of new people who come here everyday to learn more about bitcoin and get involved.

also there are a lot of businesses running here. different goods and digital goods are being sold here. all the different coins official announcements are here.

but if it goes down for good, it would be a tragedy but it is not the end of the world. all of this would be distributed between other forums until one of them becomes popular.

The effect of bct to bitcoin is sure good enough but that is just limited to only to some speculation not the price not the movement or everthing. So it wont

affect so much to bitcoin whether there are some speculation or not

I think Bitcointalk is helping effecting bitcoin.
Bitcointalk is a place where thousand eye gather. Because of that some company or dice site , dare enough to advertise through this forum as we known as signature campaign. When I got bitcoin it means I'm holding bitcoin. When someone hold bitocoin, bitcoin's price also can be effect.

Without bitcointalk, I think there will be a quite drop of bitcoin price.

Its true that there are thousand eye gathering here and wait some good information that what they should do about their bitcoin. Are they gonna sell or not? No this forum is telling to sell are you really going to sell it? Please answer it for yourself. With this forum exist we just can maintain our stack of bitcoin so it does not affected bitcoin price anyway since the biggest player of bitcoin is from china so I dont think this will do some effect to bitcoin price itself

People here have this idea that bitcointalk = bitcoin.
All the whales and big bitcoin holders, they are not active here.
We are all by small fish in ocean.
Ofcause news spread from here and new shitcoins comes to life.
But to belive that bitcointalk dictate the life of bitcoin would be naive.

The forum would have helped initially with Bitcoin but now it has expanded and taken on a life of it's own, I know it would survive quite easily without the forum as great as the forum is.

I wanted to hear some suggestions and opinions about this , what's the real effect of Bitcointalk on Bitcoin ?
I personally don't think that Bitcoin would be that successfull as it is now if there was no Bitcointalk and a good community that answer our questions .
Also I think that if Bitcointalk goes down (like .. for ever) Bitcoin will probably go down too and lose a lot of users . I know I know you will probably say there is Alternatives like Reddit or other forums but they aren't good as Bitcointalk .

Anyway let me know what do you think about this . [ Added a poll too ]

I think Bitcoin would actually do much better without Bitcointalk.


if bitcointalk will close its doors for whatever reason then other forums will take everything over. bitcointalk has no impact on the price. what you say is complete nonsense.
