Topic: Bitcointalk effect on Bitcoin ? - page 2. (Read 4435 times)
Bitcoin wouldn't die but this place has definitely helped promote bitcoin. It's also a great place to find information and also promote or have a base for your bitcoin business.
The general mood of Bitcointalk community is that we are in something big, something that can really shake things up. Bitcoin is just one baby.
Bitcointalk's main role out here is to educate people who are new about bitcoins. Also the community is so great .
Also many speculation posts help to get an idea on what's going to be the trend of Bitcoin prices.
Also marketplace allows P2P trades which builds bond between users. Nice Concept. Theymos is an awesome guy too.

Voted for first option. I wont be supporting Bitcoin if there is no opportunity to earn ~40 dollar per month - signature campaign. Other than signature campaign, the only sources of my Bitcoin is faucet and cloud mining. Without signature campaign payment, I wont be able to buy cloud mining power. Thus.. just faucet if there is no Bitcoin.
If I only manage to earn a few cents per week and.. ~50 cents per month.. I rather invest my time on other things.

Are you aware that there are thousands of other ways of earning money? You could earn BTC directly or earn fiat and convert.
If you're honestly here only for the sole purpose of earning your $40/month, then you should consider other options of getting income (part-time, min wage job maybe?).
I never bought anything online with my own money - digital or physical item. I invested zero in Bitcoin. I'm making a monthly income of ~40 USD per month without the need to invest anything - just a few hours daily. I think it is a good way deal for me.
IMO some threads here sometimes affect the price. People follow the technical analysis threads and often make decisions to buy or sell based on the advice given in them. I don't think they move the market in a big way, but enough people take advice from them to move the market in a small way.
Nope there are no threads that affected bitcoin price as well. The technical analysis is only just some speculation, everyone knows it and the decision of
buying and selling doesnt depends on that thread it is based on you not from some speculation. This whole forum have nothing to do with the price up or
down, it depends on their market itself
This forum used to be so dominate that a couple of posts (and a nice chart) telling people why Bitcoin was "ready to rally again" could cause an instant reaction at MtGox. You don't have to believe me, but I saw it more than once.
Only this here is the original forum. Founded by the founder of Bitcoin for people interested in Bitcoin. All others are just followers. If this forum shuts down, there must be something going wrong with Bitcoin. Even when hundreds of other sites pop up, it would not be the same.
C'mon guys, this forum already wrote history. The 10000BTC pizza was not bought on cryptocointalk.

No. This is just a messageboard. Bitcoin is bigger than a forum. There are plenty of other discussion boards and if bitcointalk did go down for good (not sure why it would) then another would just rise up to take its place.
yes you are right there are many more places to discuss and talk but the reality is the people are getting paid here for the discussion and that is the reason people are very much active on this forum if there would be any other place where people would earn more they would switch over there.
another note on this... is that it would have a good impact to have the site down soemtimes, because you will not see all the troll spreading fud anymore, this should help the price to go up
the price rised a bit, like i said above, is maybe because you want see all those newbie with their trolling fud attemps
I've seen this forum down twice. Did it have any effect on the price of bitcoin? I just don't know because I haven't thought of checking that there could be any relation between the two. A board and a currency are 2 very different things. I don't understand how one could affect the other.

Without this forum, Bitcoin would do pretty good, as it is doing now...
If this closed down (I hope it never closes) another forum would surely pop up!

to expand on my previous reply i dont think it will die because of the forum going down but i believe the price will be driven down quite a bit due to businesses losing out but not die outright.
I don't think it has much affect at all, for the same reason people dont go to a $ or £ forum. I'd imagine most people using bitcoin in the future would never of even heard of this forum. Not complaining though, I still seem to spend of lot of time here 
I think if this forum went down it would make a big difference a lot of businesses which soley advertise or operate here would go under and that can have a long lasting effect on the bitcoin economy
Bitcointalk is very nice support tool for BTC. However, as with everything else, if BTCtalk would go down, there would be simply some other forum to fill their shoes.
I think Bitcointalk has effect on Bitcoin when we talk about usual and little investors.This forum has played its role like launching pad and has provided unshakeable support to Bitcoin in darkdays.Still people come to Bitcointalk to find technical issues and to know latest updates and news about Bitcoin.We must not see this effect just to price, that is other things.
Nope,Other forum would go up and it would occupy its site, bitcoin is not related to bitconitalk and it will keep working without it or without any forum

When I say affect on Bitcoin I don't mean the price at all . I mean either it dies or stays alive . (more users , no users at all)
All my questions are answered on this forum and same goes for a lot of newbies im sure , Advertising of Exchange websites and the Gambling websites [ Bit-x , DaDice , PrimeDice etc ... ] first in Search Engines when you ask any question about BTC , almost every question are answered here . I know if it goes down eventually someone else will open a new website however if all the data on this website are lost .. it would be a huge loss for the Bitcoin community and that would probably decrease users .
I respect and I know it's their opinion but it's weird how most of people disagree and voted for "no"
I know you feel
Yes you right, most all question about bitcoin is here, but mostly information have back-up already in bitcoin wiki
i think this forum have an effect for people want to know and adopt bitcoin(not for bitcoin price of course).

It would have an impact but Bitcoin's life doesn't depend on it. It's a very important forum with main Bitcoin developers posting, so this means it's basically backed up by millionaires.. no need to worry about nothing.
just dead links alone from the site going down would have an impact i reckon
