Topic: Bitcointalk is more than a forum (Read 650 times)

This is not an only discussion forum like any other social platforms where you share your ideas with presentation and engage in long discussion but on bitcointalk there are already many boards and local boards where you can have discussion with your local ones and with all as member of the forum.I have not seen any forum like this one where you can gain knowledge from senior and lower rank members from correct and effective guides on almost all topics,you can offer your services and sell your bitcoin related stuff as market place and you can earn as well from campaigns.This forum is producing some bitcoin and crypto experts even though they have zero experience and knowledge before joining the forum but if they are dedicated to it.A readily growing community that shares relevant bitcoin knowledge to the members and safeguard them from any misleading topics on the other sites.

A forum is never really a forum. It is all about the interests and activities of the community and that happens here in bitcointalk and in many others. If the community is engaged, they will typically organise events, markets, and whatever suits best the interests. In the case of this forum, it is very clear that trading and doing commerce as well as creating new projects and contributing to bitcoin have generate an activity beyond the original intent of sharing ideas.

Bitcointalk is a forum, not an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia has articles, forum has topics that can have any content in them and there can be many topics on the same subject. There already is a Bitcoin wiki and people should use it first before trying to find answers here.

This forum is not a place of knowledge, it's more of a place of opinions. There are some good posts about the technical nature of Bitcoin, but the majority of the posts made here are personal opinions about Bitcoin, and very often they are presented without any sort of reasoning and justifications.

I like your view. Choosing to join the forum is choosing to take full responsibility for your acquisition and application of knowledge mainly around Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Wow this is really impressive and I think you have written well. Bitcontalk to me is a world on it own with sections where one can fit in whether it's politics, Cryptocurrency, Mining, Health, news or beginners' help. I could estimate that there is more than 2million active participants in this forum which makes it more interesting , full of information and experience.

I know many sites on the internet that there main objective is to get money from member just to give them information or education on some specific things that they are interested learning. Learning should not always come with a fee which is the reason why Bitcontalk is like a community that helps newbies and interested persons that are ready to learn to get geniune information and skill about what they are interested in.

Bitcointalk can be called as crypto wikipedia? A hub where A to Z information can be found on crypto. A market place to earn crypto as well? Bitcointalk has been the first online site / platform for me to earn money online.

A well designed site. Easy to navigate and brings everyone at one place to share their thoughts on crypto currencies and the technologies around it. A busy place which unites people from each corner of the world. It teaches a lot man besides being a forum.

Maybe you mean bitcointalk? not Bitcoins. Sometimes I'm also a little confused, there are people who say on Google there is, you don't need to write here. Indeed everything is on google but with this forum there is a discussion and it makes everything better than google. There is a more in-depth discussion, making the problem or topic completely peeled off. I think there is currently no better Crytpo forum than Bitcointalk. This forum is growing so fast many new members have joined. But most of them do not understand the real purpose of this forum.

Bitcoin is more than just a forum as we see,but when we go down deeply to know so many things about Bitcoin,we get to know that it is more than just a forum.
Bitcoin forum educates,enlightens and broadens my insight especially when I'm in bitcointalk forum where ideas,beliefs,and perceptions about different things are issued out and deliberated upon,or discussed.
This forum teaches us about so many things in life and gives us ideas about different things.that makes one current on trending issues.

Some solutions can be found on this forum and some are not. You are right that the forum is for discussions, sharing ideads and corrections of wrong perception but you forget that there are threads where a forum user is selling, providing services so it's not just about sharing, discussion and learning though satoshi nakamoto made it clear about the forum's purpose.

It's just a forum where you discuss your ideas about what you feel about each topic you find interesting to you. If there were any academy available then it would have been said to be more than a mere forum but since what is done on the forum is just discussion and correction of wrong perception then it's a forum because full knowledge about a certain thread can't be gotten from the forum you still need to dig in more to get a clearer view about a concept

I can find various kinds of knowledge in the bitcointalk forum. Bitcointalk is more than just a forum about cryptocurrencies, bitcointalk provides an opportunity to build a basic knowledge of the future technologies that are currently popular.

Earning from this forum is a bonus for growing in this forum.

Bitcointalk is a place for those who want to learn about cryptocurrency, about bitcoin and some other discussions.
Provided free and will provide all the information needed about crypto

If people are into different crypto activities rather than looking for bounties, I can say, this forum is a hidden gem. Mining, staking, creating projects, coding, name it, this forum has tons of crypto knowledge that you can't find from others. Some created their own crypto-related forum but for me, this is the best among them. If you are patient enough and know how to roam around here, you will stumble so much knowledge that you can use for yourself in advancing your skills in terms of blockchain technology.

This forum has grown so fast. It's true what you say, it seems that all forms of crypto are accommodated in this forum discussion. Then regarding signature and bounty, I've also done it before, but now for bounty, it's only Signature. All of that requires a long process. But for now I'm surprised by the many new people, it seems their thoughts are focused on making money in this forum. This brings up a lot of bad posts. They don't know that this forum will reward them better than just making money with bounties. It's a long process but they don't want to do the process.

The selling Goods is not only the way of earning money here. You can also sell service you have here in this forum. Also you will find some ways of earning crypto. This help to achieve some knowledge not the money directly.

Also you can participate in signature and bounty campaign but it needs some qualification. Lower rank has less chance in this case.

I Agree 100% that Bitcointalk is more than a forum, it's like institution where it consist of different sections on different discussion, topics and ideas were exchanged and alot of people from entire world come and benefit from the forum. To me the forum is a lesson class about bitcoin where any type of knowledge I need about bitcoin and other altcoins I will search and get the right info on different openions.

And let's don't forget that bitcointalk was founded by Satoshi Nakamoto himself, so it is almost impossible that any other forum is founded in the future with this same characteristic

Specialised forums are a great source of insight in general (contrary to non-specialised) and this one is not an exception, but also the setup of the forum with so many subs makes it great because there is always something somewhere that you may find interesting (bitcoin discussion, mining, politics, economics, local boards, altcoin discussion...). Not to talk about many members who are worth their weight in gold.

Yes, it's more than Bitcoin discussion, and if you start there and never check what's in other subs you would be having wrong impression of whole forum

I'm in your side Bro. This forum is my place to learn about cryptocurrencies. As a brand new I am happy to be in this forum discussing with great people like you all from various parts of the world. Discuss to solve a problem, give suggestions and ideas for solving the problem.

Bitcointalk is really more than just a forum indeed.Bitcointalk has changed lives,uplifted souls,removed shames from people's faces,and has put smiles on many faces.We are delighted to have joined the forum,a forum that offers you plenty of life changing topics,a forum that gives you answers to all your heart troubles,a forum that elevates an individual's financial status,and gives one hope for the future.

Indeed Bitcointalk forum is more than a forum.
It answers to people's problem is more than a folcrum.
We bring our heart troubles,and pour it down here in the forum,and answers are provided immediately without wasting a second.

How is that so (Forex) ? I figure you mean Crypto trading, and although they have a common background in terms of tools and concepts, the elements being traded in Forex is really about trading fiat currency pairs.

As to Bitcointalk being more than a forum, people will likely attribute it significances that surpass that of a public place for discussion. The more presence or influence it has on people’s time and life, the more derivate attributions that people can associate to it.

It is quite nice to be here and I have learned a lot here. So, yes I will also say that it isn't just a forum, it is the best place to learn about Forex Trading.

Bitcointalk forum is the largest and most active crypto community.  There is no better forum to learn about Bitcoin and other crypto.  There are many members who have gone a long way in gaining knowledge after joining here. Here are all the things a person needs to know. So I think Bitcointalk forum is school for someone, cinema hall for someone, play ground for someone and coffee shop for someone.

We believe there are many places available online where you can learn different genres of specific topics whether they are limited to those topics or cover almost everything. We see Bitcointalk as a catalyst where debates spark regarding Bitcoins and anything related to crypto and a lot of knowledgeable people here share the best of their knowledge to the information hungry.

It's a public history book. It's where a two trillion (=market cap of all of crypto now) economy began, which only stands to become bigger. It is the source of one of the greatest mysteries of our time - who was Satoshi Nakamoto? And plenty of other mysteries. It is a place of knowledge, learning, money making, scams even since near its beginning, and finally technical development.

We all have different opinions on how we see bitcointalk. I could say that bitcointalk is like a school where I can read and learn about cryptocurrency. I could also say that bitcointalk is like a market where you can buy crypto funds from other forum users or items use for crypto space like for mining bitcoin but we can't deny that the forum's goal is for discussions and exchanging ideas for learning and understanding.

The good thing is, this forum has given tons of opportunities to people who are especially businessmen! Lots of discussion here towards price prediction, overall media news, and anything under the sun as long as it is within the scope of cryptocurrencies.

Although secondary in purpose, this forum has enabled tons of users to earn BTCs from participating into campaign signatures. I am pretty sure, the creation of this forum has made millionaires here in the forum- but let us not forget the primary objective of this forum which is the one you just mentioned.

You are right that "Bitcointalk is more than a forum". There are various boards in bitcointalk like altcoin, gambling, politics, marketplace etc. Anyone who likes sports can take part in the respective discussion. Anyone who wants to know about Altcoin can find out about it from the Altcoin board. Thus Bitcointalk forum able to meet the needs of every human being. Bitcointalk forum is like a social media platform. Anyone can acquire knowledge from here as well as entertainment.

Exactly this forum is great source of learning and the main point is you gain knowledge from the members who have been here for a long time and will provide updated and right information to you without any cost or personal bias.You simply search about bitcoin or any other topic you are interested in on YouTube you will see lot of crap videos promoting scam coins and sharing half knowledge of bitcoin which is harmful for you.But bitcointalk is open discussion forum where you can communicate with other members and exchange your knowledge.You see here is space for every crypto lover and you can communicate on every board you wish to do so.But prioritise this as discussion forum and place to learn from experts and become one with time.

Bitcointalk has really been more than a forum to me,it has broadened my knowledge about Crypto currency,sharpened my insights  about trading,and I am ready to impart knowledge to those in this forum because that is one of the way I can help.
Bitcointalk forum is more than just a place to trade,or make money,it has elevated lives,upgraded people,made so many financially bouyant and has given so many people an edge about Cryptocurrency. 

In as much as this forum is still in existence,we will still continue learning,and also continue imparting knowledge in the beginners that are eager to get knowledge on Crypto in this forum.

Yes its only a part of privilege however its not the main goal why you are staying here in forum isnt it? Aside from selling goods, there are other ways, but I dont want you to take this as your priority here. The forum is great due to quality discussion and talks about bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. Try to learn the topics here and you should only focus on engaging on such topic rather than thinking of a way to have profits by making money here. Most of newbies are starting here just to earn but not to learn.

I think you should regularly review the part of the forum under market and services and you might come across some paid project that you can get involved in.
Seeling goods is just one possibility but also you can join some paid translation project or making a logo etc.
It is still too early for you to join the signature campaign given your forum rank but this may also be an option for you in the future.
Good luck!

I have seen it more than once that forums can make money, and I am curious how to make money. I see people selling goods, but I don’t think the income is much. Other than that, I can't think of any way to make money.

yes I agree friend, because from 2017 I joined here and you know that I don't understand at all what cryptocurrency is and here I really learn and from bitcointalk this can help my life even though I stopped and didn't visit this bitcointalk for several years and finally I started again from scratch again to add knowledge in this bitcointalk for free

The community is really meant for innovation of knowledge more especially for those who are wizard in cryptocurrency who really donate or impact wisdom of bitcoin to the next, while some person who don't acclimatized with cryptocurrency happen to learn and secure their own knowledge here, here expand the ability of communication in all ramifications of cryptocurrency and also social related abilities of understanding.

Absolutely true, Bitcointalk forum is  a special place that since I became a member of this forum I have learn many things about cryptocurrency. The knowledge I have obtained in this forum has benefit me alot how to work in Bitcoin. Bitcointalk has made me to invest some Bitcoin and also taught me how to tutor and advice people how to invest in the cryptocurrency world. I must say this forum is one of the best place I have found myself in life

I have been on this forum for 7 years and I have made many friends here, and I met some of them in real life.
Because of that I can really say that this forum is very special for me and I really enjoy talking and sharing information with dear friends.
Of course, this forum is special because it is the first and oldest and Satoshi also wrote here.
However, lately I have noticed a decline in the interest of younger members for this forum.
Telegram groups and social networks seem to have become more popular than the old forums 

I would add that the forum is unique in that here you can communicate with people who were directly at the origins of bitcoin. There is a lot of genuine information that is always up-to-date. No need to surf the internet if you have any questions. There are always timely answers to exciting questions. It remains only to properly set up your time to take maximum knowledge from the forum.

I understand your points, i know Bitcointalk is a forum that was created mainly discussion. To me I see it more than a forum because of what I have gained and I know what how what have gained will help me in life

I usually see the forum as a whole Discord server and each boards are the channels. You'll have a pretty relaxing conversation with people. You choose where you wanted to discuss something about as long as it is in relevant board/channel.

Everything I learnt about crypto and mining is from bitcointalk, there are many things I can't do with mining years ago and I'm an expert in those areas today thanks to this forum, when people ask me what bitcointalk is all about my response is ' it's everything crypto', more grace to bitcointalk admins, the Lord is their strength

This forum is an open discussion place where you can exchange knowledge about the crypto market and can learn a lot from here.For instance when i joined this forum I was not even aware about anything special about bitcoin or crypto market but main thing was that i keep in my mind that i have to learn about it was glad that i come at best place.

It has many boards on which you can share your knowledge and learn from them.You don't need to be technical as for programmers separate technical development boards are there on which you can also contribute if you have prerequisite knowledge for the same.But there are non technical boards also and most of the members are effectively contributing to the same.This forum not only educates about crypto market but also share ideas and thoughts on other topic also.Like you can write up in political board on which you can debate or share your ideas on government politics aside from crypto market and then economic section serve to the economy related discussions.So you can see not only btc or crypto market you can have complete topics over here and exchange knowledge and learn from other members.

Then there are service and collectibles board where you can sell your services and any crypto related collections to the other members and they can directly purchase it from you so it serve as decentralised market place for the members.What other forums are allowing you such options at vast variety and at ease.

You can come as total newbie on the forum and after some time with learning ability and dedication you can have enough knowledge of the market that you can educate other also about the technical aspects also.So just be focused.

You are not charged anything on the forum to write posts other than buying Copper Membership and only 1 confirmation is required fot that and you can post images as newbie also.

The other charges are evil fees which are related to ip ban of your closed ones and you can also byepass it now with Remove Proxyban by LoyceV

Treat this as discussion forum to exchange knowledge and ideas with other and you will surely get results and you yourself will see that you have acquired more than enough knowledge from the forum.Frankly speaking i also have learnt a lot from this forum.So for me it's best place.

I would agree with that as OP said. But first of all, I will consider this forum as a crypto academy where we have been learning about cryptocurrency from each other. We are here to share our knowledge and the best experience so that others can learn from us and we can learn from others. If anyone spends time here, no doubts day by day he/she can become a crypto expert. To become an established member here, we have to contribute to the forum. So try your best to concentrate on contributions.

Yes i'm agree that this forum is become my main source if i want to know anything about cryptocurrency, we could see many people's different opinion and it's from the veterans people who joined crypto more than 5 years.
So i think it's the best source to learn and find out anything about crypto, if we search a news on the internet, sometimes it could be not objective. But in this forum, they give us best practice and the real case by experience

Yeah you are right its a place for discussion and learning. Wr are bit lucky that inside this forum there are some who guided us or helped us understand about our confusion on bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Its not only about the forum but the people surrounding this place makes us lesrned more. Thats what I thought at first, that forum is just a place for money earning ( big mistake) but I realize much more important than that few years back. Now Im good and happy to say that this forum is the best on some thst Ive tried on.

Generally, it is created for idea exchange. You can see it more clearly in the Welcome message that is written by theymos -- head admin of the forum.

I don't think the forum is an institution but whatever you consider it is, the forum is opened for everyone, to join & learn & help each other, totally free.

If you don't mind about your rank, you are free to participate in the forum, as a guest or newbie member. Learning is related to reading and writing, it is not related to avatar or signature you can wear. Restrictions on time gap between 2 posts don't limit your ability to learn.

No, Bitcointalk is just a forum. A forum's purpose is to host discussions, and if you find them educating, that's great, it means the forum has served its purpose. But don't think that the forum is some sort of academy that has obligation to teach you, and you have obligation to learn. In fact this is a very common misonception, I see a lot of newbies creating threads to sing praises to this forum and how it helps them learn about Bitcoin, but there are no hard rules on this forum that you must study Bitcoin. You can spend all your time in offtopic board, or discuss politics, or speculate about the price. There's no "bitcoin knowledge exams", no grades, no teachers.

Op, i will agree with you that bitcointalk is an institution where we can as well acquire different kinds knowledge base on our perspective or our objectives via cryptocurrency sphere, i could remember vividly that this forum was meant to impact knowledge to a novice or beginner's who has the ambition to elevate or create awareness of cryptocurrency to those who  don't really know the Genesis of bitcoin, i know that I'm not mistaken if i said that this community create a vital impact to educate people concerning cryptocurrency, because people acquire perfect knowledge of trading through the community.

Op you sound excited I'm glad you're having a swell time here. The forum is really about bitcoin discussion and cryptocurrency at large. Every other thing here is secondary!
Yes you're right, there is so much free knowledge on the forum...a cryptopedia if there is such a word but make sure not to misuse this golden opportunity. I made a thread once about the opportunities available in the crypto space. It's a good read

I see Bitcointalk forum as a place that is more than a forum for Bitcoin discussion, There are a lot of things to learn here. Bitcointalk forum is an institution, the reason why I refer Bitcointalk forum as an institution. An institution consist of different area of specialization where one will be able to fit into, same as Bitcointalk forum which has different boards where one can fit into or display a talent. An institution impact, transform, gives knowledge in different aspect of life. An institution welcome people who are ready to learn and people who are discipline so as Bitcointalk forum. Why I love and appreciate Bitcointalk forum more is that Bitcointalk forum is an institution where knowledge is free no tuition fee. There is no institution in the world where knowledge is giving for free but Bitcointalk forum is a place where we obtain knowledge for free.

An institution is a place where learning in characters also occur same as Bitcointalk forum too. Bitcointalk forum is able to accommodate different people with different characters. I'm so happy to be a member of this forum where I get knowledge for free which I don't pay for.
