Some of you have attended bitcoin conferences and similar meetups with your forum buddies.

Some have even attended wedding ceremonies of others, especially those in my local board. They do regular meetups to unwind. Don't worry, I won't roll out the register. Your names are safe with me 🧐

That makes me wonder: how many people from Bitcointalk do you know in real life? How many do you know by name because of your forum dealings and relationships?

I know quite a handful of them by their real names and many of them are from my local board but I've only met fewer of them in person. Again, there are also some I introduced to this forum.

Have you ever wished you could meet someone from the forum, but it never happened? Can you call anyone from this community a friend, and why?

Yes to both questions.

1 - 2 users, but sadly both are users who left from forum a year ago for real job. Previously I learned a lot from them about how this forum works and the rules, it worked for me. They are my distant friends, so I only met them 4-5 times in the last 2 years. I still remember their names well and even know their account usernames in this forum, not a high rank user but their knowledge of the forum and rules is quite useful to me.

I hope one day they come back to the forum like I always tell them both in the chat.

I voted 3-5 and I personally know 4 of them in real life that have account here (just to note that I knew all those people long before I ever heard about bitcointalk). Even though they are all still very much in crypto and have been for years, unfortunately none of them are active here anymore. I tried talk them into coming back several times, but to no avail.

If we're counting those that we knew from bitcointalk then mine will be "zero" although I have seen several posting their personal information on the forum and just as @stalker... Said you can never be sure if that's their real information or not, so it's better to .
But if we're to count both those that we knew before signing up an account then there will be an increment of "one" in my own value. I only the know that of the person that introduced me to bitcointalk although his account has been inactive for more than three months now.

LoyceV on the road. Or couch.

Zero. Excluding LoyceV, who may or may not have a real name.

I sometimes wish I could meet people or order items, but I like my privacy too much for that. The annoying thing with privacy is you can't get it back once it's gone.

I would not wish to associate any other name to the personality of users like LoyceV or o_e_l_e_o etc.

I really wish I would have picked a cooler name though. I never expected to still be using my random (girls) name almost 8 years later!

I didn't know anyone personally via forum and who know about my name, definitely I had some conversations with forum members but which is not that intense to know their real identity and I hope no one knows about me too beyond Dory. Grin

P.S, Threads like this could make some users uneasy if they have revealed their names to certain forum members and find them talking about it even if the names are not mentioned.

There'll probably be a lot more votes for zero too because of this to hide what people know. I answered 2 and now I keep remembering people's names Roll Eyes

(I've found another two since - at least).

I saw a meme a few weeks ago from Americans saying it's very hard to find a British person's name because they forget to bring it up (even in long interactions - and don't mention it when they're introduced), so maybe I'd know more.

I would rather not know anyone by their real names cause I find forum monikers to be way cooler than real world names and it demystifies the user as well if you discover their real names. I would not wish to associate any other name to the personality of users like LoyceV or o_e_l_e_o etc.

Also, any discussions about revealing personal information should be kept personal. I may or may not know any users by their real names and it would never be known if I do.

I voted "0" because even though I am familiar with some members' real names, either because they made it public or used it in their nick, I cannot verify the truth of their claims, thus I believe my vote was correct. Perhaps a more accurate question should be: "How many forum members do you know in real life?".

It seems that you forgot to add "zero" to the voting options. I am pretty sure many of participants would vote for zero if it was possible.
And what if someone knows 5 users in the real world? Should vote for 3-5 or 5-10?

I was uncareful and should have paid more attention. Thanks! I added 0 now as the last option because I don't know what would happen if I edited the poll and put 0 as option 1 and then moved all the other options downwards. Maybe it would affect the already submitted votes.

Option 2 is now 3-5.
Option 3 is 6-10.

I knew some before but since i care someone's privacy so i choose to call them by their forum username instead of their names when we are in contact, and probably forgot their names in the process .

Bitcointalk is a bitcoin and crypto community that has been around for several years. During this time, the forum made history on many occasions, and we all had the chance to witness it.

No matter how or when you get here, Bitcointalk always offers a wide range of possibilities. I am sure that some have found friends and like-minded people on these boards. People have created partnerships that are respected to this day.

Bitcointalk members have used the forum to trade coins and collectibles and arranged face-to-face meetings. Some of you have attended bitcoin conferences and similar meetups with your forum buddies.

That makes me wonder: how many people from Bitcointalk do you know in real life? How many do you know by name because of your forum dealings and relationships? Have you ever wished you could meet someone from the forum, but it never happened? Can you call anyone from this community a friend, and why?

I know three users by real names. Unfortunately, they are inactive now and have disappeared from the forum. How about you?
