Topic: Elon Musk want to buy bitcointalk (Read 1180 times)

If he would wanted to he would bought it with a Fart or had it hacked beyond recognition then bought it for Pennies

Where are you getting this information from?
Personally, I don't think that will happen.

Lol. It seems Elon musk wants to buy everything. Anyways, that's what happens when you don't know what to do with your too much money.

On a more serious note, let him pls stay far from BTT.

I see that he is still running Twitter very well and things take time to sort things out, he just took over it and has a lot to clean up and rebuild.
He's smart enough to pay billions of dollars for it, I don't think he bought it on a whim. Look at what he's got, that means he's on the right track, otherwise he wouldn't have become the richest billionaire in the world.


Creating mobile applications is not too difficult and does not need Elon's support. I believe the administrators have a good reason not to upgrade the forum after all these years, perhaps they want to keep all the things that Satoshi left us, a pure original like bitcoin. But the idea of a mobile version is interesting, I also find it inconvenient to use the forum by phone sometimes.

What updates does he follow here?, the forum is just a small space for small investors like us to come here to exchange, share news and knowledge with each other. There's nothing he needs here. What is the reason he needs twitter?, he needs it for his business and the forum doesn't provide that feature for him.
Twitter is like other social networks, it brings together millions of people around the world with different needs but the forum is just a place to talk about cryptocurrencies and gambling, I don't think he is a gambler . Just because he is an early adopter of cryptocurrencies like us doesn't mean he likes to discuss like we do, he has a lot of money and wants to invest just spend it.

ahaha sorry for the laugh but I see this thread now and it seems practically useless to talk about it I don't see what benefit it can draw.  Do you think Musk can now buy anything for the sake of owning it?  In any case I've already thought about cloning the forum on Telegram as I've already explained in this thread so don't be afraid

Yes, of course they will maintain the forum not to be sold, maybe even theymos will survive to continue to develop a bigger community not in terms of business, while Elon Musk is a businessman he will not see opportunities here, so he will not be interested in forums at all or any organization that is a community and this is very different from the social media he bought Twitter.
Maybe he didn't even know the Bitcointalk forum until now, what he knows is big social media that has become his business competitor, maybe that's what he pays attention to, not small things like this forum.

I do not want to see a future where Elon Boy is taking over Bitcointalk. I don’t think he is that interested as he is more focused on Twitter, Tesla, etc.

I strongly believe that even if he offers billions, it will likely be rejected. We just wanted Bitcointalk to remain as ease from the very beginning.

We’re already happy about Bitcointalk right now. I say no to Elon boy taking over this forum. It’s gonna be absurd.

yes papa elon musk buys a company for profit reason and i do believe he will not gonna buy forum like bitcointalk since this forum focused on community share and made idea and not make a big profit

I think he won't even bother buying Bitcointalk, there's no marketing value here except for cryptocurrency. Elon wants Twitter because it's huge, a lot of people are using it, worst case scenario is if he's after for the data as well that he might use to something, who knows. He could easily advertise his products there for free if he buys it. I also doubt that this forum is for sale, I bet this would not be sold in any amount because this forum is very important.

It won't be possible for him to buy bitcointalk because bitcointalk is not like twitter or other social media platforms. Bitcoin is a decentralized currency,  not owned by anybody so as the bitcointalk.  Bitcointalk is a place where people come and learn about bitcoin and share their challenges so I don't see why Elon musk would want to buy bitcoin,  it doesn't make any sense. Bitcointalk is not for sale, rather elon musk is always welcome to the forum to come learn more about bitcoin  and to share his ideas😉.

It seems that this will not be possible because as we know that Elon Musk is not just buying a platform, he also sees the value and business potential of the platform. We also know that bitcointalk is not a business platform that Musk can develop and profit from. This is a forum where crypto-enthusiasts interact in it. So I think that Musk is unlikely to want to buy this forum.

Elon only interested in the Financial gaining website.He try to double or triple his money by buying assets. Instead of buying a bitcointalk, he can buy of reddit or discord or you tube. Which is very close to the twitter. If Elon musk buy the reddit Or discord he can control over huge projects.Where he can make post good based on his opinion. But bitcointalk is the forum, So it's hard to control by the people. Bitcointalk is like a Quora and wikipedia which helps to learn some knowledge from it .We are here to share both positive and negative about the crypto currency projects to the beginners.

No such thing as unlimited money in this world. His riches is as valuable as how much contribution he has made in the lives of billions of people around world (I'm only for very useful and faultless contributions) otherwise its deceitful riches.

In regards to buying this forum, It's Not For Sale. It's more like a National asset which represents the Bitcoin Cyber Nation, an opensource community. Imagine USA government selling www.state.gov or something like that to Trump or Billgate. Or even your national government selling national sites to the rich ones in your country. The forum is as important as government sites because Bitcoin founders who are more like National founding "fathers" will be very displeased to see something they built for the good of Bitcoin getting sold to someone who likely does not share in the Bitcoin values/ideals and will likely be heavily abused by him with privacy invasive, mind control, parasitic technology for example.

By the way, the Bitcoin system which the bitcointalk forum represents is a shared Public Network owned together by its Citizens who believe in its good values, help in preserving them and making Bitcoin better. The forum also belongs to them and they represent Satoshi who consent will be needed in order to determine whether its right to sell Bitcoin asset to "private individual". Only a dumb person/people will sell or buy the forum

No, I don't and never agree, and I think the moderators and everyone involved in creating this forum are not money oriented so the opportunity to sell it to anyone including elon will be possible, I might even say impossible, not everything can be valued in money.
What makes you think this forum would be superior if he bought it? the amount of money he has will not be able to make this forum better than it is now other than making it centralized and proof of account ownership is no longer by means of bitcoin stake addresses but by verifying documents, and this will not be liked.

BitcoinTalk is not twitter. Elon Musk games don't apply here.

This is a serious establishment. It has no monetary value. It has spiritual value.

He bought twitter just to endorse his product. this is a fact that has not been implemented yet because of the situation. as we know twitter is very different when compared it with forum, but if he want he can make this forum be on next twitter with have mobile application download on android and ios. We still wait for this (the forum mobile) same as twitter, If Elon bought the forum and can do that (forum with compatible mobile application) tomorrow, There is no harm to support him.

I saw what you did there! Nice click bait with the topic to get users attention and thanks for your name by the way, it will help others know more about not a keys not the bitcoin to more people.

Now, let me return to your question.
The Bitcoin forum was created by Satoshi himself, then it was BitcoinForum, but prior to Satoshi's absence from the forum, he left the forum operations to people he trusted in the bitcoin forum at the time, but unfortunately, it was hacked but the logs and backend database were properly saved and the New Bitcointalk forum was born without any donations from outsiders, it was all within the forum and thanks to Theymos. The forum, like bitcoin, is never a centralized body, it is for the people and will remain in this manner.

Okay, first of all, Elon has "limited money"..
And we never really know what Elon would do with the forum if he does buy it. I think he has a good knowledge about how cryptocurrencies work, however, he may not likely take advantage of the forum for his selfish interest and end up messing things up like he did Twitter.

And who told you that Elon Musk does not know anything about the forum, or that he did not think of buying it? Hahahahaha  
I wouldn't be surprised if we found out one day that he has an account here. The man is considered one of the early adopters of crypto, and it is certain that he visited or is visiting the forum to follow the updates at least.
Bitcointalk Forum is not a commodity for sale, and those managing it still maintain the decentralized philosophy that Satoshi (the creator of the forum) sought to establish since its inception.

This.  Hispo hit the nail on the head.  This website wouldn't be worth Elon's time to even take a meeting on it.  I doubt you could even get a one word reply if you texted him with an offer to take ownership of this site for free.  The guy is worth so much, his time is heavily regulated and the idea that he would spend even his toilet time responding to an offer for a web forum is ridiculous.  Not to mention this site is actively reducing it's revenue sources while adding additional expenses and a replacement website has been in the works for a decade. 

I think you'd have more luck trying to sell this site to Roger Ver or Craig Wright.
