Well, the answer is simple and clear. the token for this platform is bitcoin. since the platform was created and designed by the creator of bitcoin satoshi. the platform was created to communicate with supporters and people that believe in cryptocurrency. i don't think there is the need to create another token for the platform since bitcoin started here. creating another coin is not neccessary.
I also don't see any reason on creating your own token since this forum already accepts many options to pay for advertisement and yes Bitcoin started on this platform so that's the best option that we have. This forum made a lot of contribution in cryptomarket, actually this is my main source of knowledge with regards to cryptocurrency, at the same time a good source of money for me.

If theymos has plans he probably had done it long time ago.
This is a bitcoin talk forum and bitcoin was the official coin issued by this forum. Satoshi as a founder of this forum who already issued bitcoin as the main crypto for this forum. There's no need to think theymos will do that because he has known this. No reason to issue new token under bitcoin today. Yes, there is no need for another token that will identify the forum.
You are right, satoshi is the founder of this forum, so this is where bitcoin originated or developed from.
Let others create their own token as most of them will just fade away in the market.
But bitcoin will always be here and remain its position in the market.

This is the birthplace of crypto and many people learnt alot from here. is it not fair for this platform to get a token that can be traded in the market. other content management platform has then own crypto that are been traded and use as a means of rewards to their users.
please don't say bitcoin. currently, not everyone can afford bitcoin now. we need an altcoin as an alternative token here for payment of service.
To be honest you're not asking for too much considering that now there are meme coins (like BShiba, Akita and more) everywhere messing up and congesting the whole of ETH blockchain. To see a token for bitcointalk in my opinion is not the worst of the jokes - it could be done - all you need is a developer and a few connections in the industry please don't say bitcoin. currently, not everyone can afford bitcoin now. we need an altcoin as an alternative token here for payment of service.

You are wrong, Theymos launched a token in the 2018 ICO trend and is currently still in the tokensale stage. Please check here if you are interested. We all know about that token but is it meant for this forum?
Theymos is accepting GRIN coin in this forum afaik, there are also users who thought he might be part of the team that developed the project but that is not confirmed. He could be part of more projects actually, we don't know since he is a private person.

No other token is absolutely necessary for the payment, issuing a token for the bitcointalk would only be a reason to generate relatively simple revenue but the work will be enormous to keep this value high.
They will need to create an ecosystem around the token and use cases for its use.
This way I believe there will be no need of going for creating a token specialized for this forum. If any one of us, will be coming up with proper reason for having such a token, then I will agree to have without any hesitations.
There is no need for a coin of the forum actually. No reason. If it's for decentralization then that is no going to happen, the chaos to come is unbearable.

Never going to happen, this is not a crypto exchange or a crypto project platform mate, this is crypto forum for crypto related discussions and tutors for those who needed them, we already have something to give to those who make good contributions in the forum ( merit and smerit ) and that's more than enough already
They have already been discussed this thing but unfortunately, there wasn't any fruit about their discussion. I think it's impossible for us to implement any coins right now since we are just mainly focused on how to improve our long time community which is the best from all of the crypto community exist today. But different things might come in the future where our board member and staff would change their mind and finally create our own token which will no doubt became one of the most popular tokens if ever that happened.
currently, not everyone can afford bitcoin now.
Don't say this. Everyone can afford to buy bitcoin, it's not a requirement that you should be purchasing 1 bitcoin as a whole. You can buy in satoshis or mbtc at different quantities. You don't actually have to own one thus your goal is to own one until it reaches to the highest possible price that you can ever imagine. It's the misunderstanding about buying bitcoin, it's expensive because of its price but it doesn't mean that everyone is restricted to buy it because there's still a way to buy bitcoin and you can purchase a little by little of it.

If bitcointalk creates a token than those token also needs to have a sort of utility otherwise it will not get any adoption or trading volumen. One utility could be that stuff like copper membership can only be bought with that new token but i don't see that as a big advantage over the current method where you pay with btc. On the other hand there are so many tokens out there that have no real usecase and utility and still have a high marketcap but i still feel that a bitcointalk token is not really neccessary.
Even if bitcointalk have it own token it will serve no purpose majority of the forum members here focuses on the major cryptocurrencies the market is already flooded with all sort of tokens thus making it difficult to pick potential ones for investment creating another bitcointalk coin is of no use this will divert attention of the main aim and purpose of establishing the forum, the forum is like a reservoir for all sort of information related to cryptos and problems solving forum for any technical issues relating to cryptos.

Ah well, and what properties should a Bitcointalk token have that other coins don't already have? It would have to be something innovative, otherwise it would be just another unnecessary altcoin.

Howeycoins is so much good and successful that bitcoin talk would never require another token.
Though I think, an internal blockchain and token would be cool for such and epic forum. It doesn't need to have a monetarily value and maybe never get listed on any exchange but work within the forum only. Could experiment with new algos and make a POS coin. We could experiment merits as tokens which could yield another token called smerit just like how NEO is to GAS but it would turn into merit once sent to another user. That's just an example, but we could experiment something.
I wonder what people mean when they say Bitcoin is not affordable. I guess you said that because of fees, or do you mean everyone can't afford 1 BTC ? You can buy any amount of bitcoin and still benefit from the price increase. I don't see much difference between people owning $10 worth of bitcoin & $10 worth of altcoin and using it on the forum.. The fees will probably discourage users from small/micro transactions

I'm not seeing any possibility for that to happen. Because for using this platform fair and legit way, you do not need to pay anything; if you want higher membership to show pictures then you can go for paying some fee for copper membership other than that I'm not seeing anything charged here (except monthly auction for banner display).please don't say bitcoin. currently, not everyone can afford bitcoin now. we need an altcoin as an alternative token here for payment of service.
I remember there were lots of similar suggestions were made but Theymos never listened to them.
Some people suggested to make merits as a coin/token but that also had been rejected by this community and by our honorable admin (theymos).

You don't have to own the full 1 bitcoin just considering the current price. You can always convert even your $ 1 into small units of bitcoin, namely satoshi (sats). So there's no reason people can't afford bitcoin.

What service do you mean? As far as I am concerned, the bitcointalk does not have a service for paying members. If you have a service, you are free to choose bitcoin or existing altcoins as the payment you accept.If theymos has plans he probably had done it long time ago.

The name itself got Bitcoin so how do you assume that a token needs to be created for bitcointalk and what's the purpose for the creation of such token? please don't say bitcoin. currently, not everyone can afford bitcoin now. we need an altcoin as an alternative token here for payment of service.
Another bump and dump token!

I don't know if there is a plan for it. Hard to see what it would be for because the bounty campaigns alone is already an incentive for users to participate in the discussions. This isn't like cryptotalk that will distribute useless TALK coins.
