Oh dear.... we think it's bad now but it will surely get worse in the teenage years.
Happy birthday!!
I actually would be lying if I said I didn't wish I joined much earlier than I did,but I guess it's better late than never...
Really this forum despite all the dark sides(Ico's,spam,scam etc) ,happens to be one very wonderful community to discuss and exchange ideas,it definitely can't be as it was in the past,but honestly it could be better in the future..
It's amazing sharing ideas and information with individuals from different parts of the world,you may never get to see(this forum unites the cryptocurrency world)
Happy birthday once again

Happy Anniversary Bitcointalk.
I can just follow them and say Happy Birthday too !
9 years is a long time with ups and downs so lets hope the next 9 years will be good and great again and maybe one day we will get a clean Forum !
Best wishes to the Digital Museum Bitcointalk !
Happy Anniversary Bitcointalk.
I wish I could join here earlier before investing in cryptocurrency. I would not face such kinda loss. I have learned a lot and still learning. I never had familiarized with a lot of things regarding crypto investment before joining the forum.

Everyone talks about how great it was, but I think it was just young and unknown.
I'm pretty sure that's what made it great--along with the passage of time and perspective, much like how many people look back fondly on their childhood, and the bad times that happened in the past tend to get to get smoothed out (sometimes). Bitcointalk certainly wasn't like what it is today. It seems like it was like a frontier where anything could happen--and honestly in a lot of ways it's still like that. Theymos hasn't introduced many rules and restrictions, and there's still very much a Wild West vibe to the forum, and to crypto in general.And with the Advent of ICOs, this forum became not just a niche to discuss about digital currency matters but also a way to earn.
There is still unrivalled quality on the forum and no other cryptocurrency forum can hold a candle to bitcointalk.
Happy anniversary
Those damn ICOs. Great for forum traffic and for the people who keep churning them out, not so great for investors or for the discussion quality on the forum because of all the bounties. We all know that's the major thing that's affected bitcointalk since the early days--all the advertising and all the shitposting it's brought with it.There is still unrivalled quality on the forum and no other cryptocurrency forum can hold a candle to bitcointalk.
Happy anniversary
There's still some great discussion going on here, though, and it's still a great forum. So happy birthday!
Happy anniversary BTCT!
I wonder what was in topics 1 through 4 and posts 1 through 27.

1, 2, and 4 exist in the staff forum. 3 was permanently deleted at some point (it must have contained Satoshi's real name and address).
Obviously with time and word of mouth these issues have compounded, but I still find great topics/discussions and help peppered throughout the forum.
The increase in popularity and growth in price of Bitcoin is the main catalyst which increased the popularity of Bitcointalk.
And with the Advent of ICOs, this forum became not just a niche to discuss about digital currency matters but also a way to earn.
There is still unrivalled quality on the forum and no other cryptocurrency forum can hold a candle to bitcointalk.

So I've been going through some of theymos's posts and I realized today is the 9th anniversary of the forum.

That's the announcement thread by Satoshi for the beginning of this forum as we know it today. Much like a 9 year old there is shit going on that baffles our minds and it has taken on a life of it's own so to speak. I don't know what it was like in the old days but I hear it was great, except when it wasn't.
Everyone talks about how great it was, but I think it was just young and unknown. There were obviously still trolls/scams/spam and shitposts, but with so few users it didn't seem as blatant. Obviously with time and word of mouth these issues have compounded, but I still find great topics/discussions and help peppered throughout the forum.
