maybe a decrease in the number of visitors that will have an impact on this forum if bitcoin continues to experience its worst.
But I don't even have the slightest thought that bitcoin will fall badly. If we look and read the history of bitcoin itself, we can find a lot of news in the past that wanted to drop bitcoin. but in fact bitcoin is growing rapidly and more and more people are aware of the advantages of bitcoin.
more and more bitcoin is hit by bad news. the more famous and well known bitcoin is.
so the people who badmouthed bitcoin turned out to be in fact they were the ones who helped bitcoin become so much better known now.
and seeing the growth of the community in this forum I think this forum will get better and better.
Topic: Is the crash in bitcoin price a threat to forum existence? - page 2. (Read 332 times)
Bitcoins and its related discussions is the subject matter and major objective why this forum was first created after bitcoins from my observation, but considering the current dump in bitcoin, assuming that the prices never goes up and bitcoin ceases to exist or looses value completely, will this forum continue to function?
How did you come up with this kind of analysis? Honestly, there’s no connection between the price of bitcoin and if ever the closure of the forum. Bitcoin will always dump its price so does it means it always threat the forum? That’s not going to happen even if they become inseparable, the forum may be closed in the future but that’s maybe for another reason, not because bitcoin has dropped its value. Bitcoins and its related discussions is the subject matter and major objective why this forum was first created after bitcoins from my observation, but considering the current dump in bitcoin, assuming that the prices never goes up and bitcoin ceases to exist or looses value completely, will this forum continue to function?
Bitcoin and forum would never affect each other simply because, the forum is only an outlet where we can learn about bitcoin and how it moves in the market. Its rise and fall will never threat the forum, as the forum itself has nothing to do with how bitcoin moves in the market. The market will dump or pump, but the forum has nothing to do with it. <...> assuming that the prices never goes up and bitcoin ceases to exist or looses value completely, will this forum continue to function?
You clearly did some serious research before you created this topic, perhaps you can answer my question: what was the value of bitcoin at the time this forum was founded?
I couldn't find that info anywhere ...

If bitcointalk didn't crash during the market's pandemic, I don't think it'll be affected by the short-term sell pressures. I wasn't here, but I had some shitcoins back then and I was watching the market bleed like crazy, the whole world was shaking, and what was coming out of every media was Covid and financial collapse, job losses, food shortages, warehouse break-ins by hoodlums, and movement restrictions in almost all countries, but today, we have just food shortages and high inflation, with institutional investors and retailers withdrawing some of their money. Don't worry, the forum will function normally, although there will likely be a small number of newbies.
Nothing to do, it's strange if you associate it with the closure of a website or forum and the price of bitcoin. I think at the moment the decline is still in the normal category. This happens according to the previously existing cycle. This forum has lived for a long time, even this forum is very helpful for crypto users. There is no reason for the current closure.
At present, the world economy is indeed in a bad state. Fed interest rates are rising, stock markets, crypto, forex are all in the red. So as long as the consensus of trust in crypto continues to exist bitcoin will not reach a price of zero.

How can you say that its possible for bitcoin to lose its value. What happening now is normal, people that had been here way back 2018 experienced much worse but this forum didn't stop to operate during those times. I don't see this website to shutdown in the future as it is a big help to anyone that want to start their crypto journey. Some members here can already be considered as an expert in some field of crypto like gambling or trading who can give advices to newbies.
What is most likely to happen if Bitcoin ceases to exist is that the number of forum users may sharply decrease. But this, as you can see, is not a problem for some users. It will give them the opportunity to communicate with faithful and devoted people who are interested in bitcoin technologies. Although, to be honest, I don't see the point then.
In any case, you have an excellent opportunity to witness any situation in the future if you stay and experience the future of this forum.

It seemed to have a stronger, perhaps smaller community when I joined here back when bitcoin was vauled at around $200. Everything seemed quite small back then though.
Activity has declined with the number of active members since the merit system was introduced, but also since some things have changed when it comes to signature campaigns. During 2015 and 2016, some campaigns were even run by bots, spam was at an incredible level and what we have today is far better (though not ideal).

Without Bitcoin, this forum would not have been created - and I am sure it will continue to exist regardless of the price of Bitcoin.
First of all, we have already had big ups and downs of btc, the last example is the drop of btc from 20k to 4k in the period 2017-2018 and I did not notice that due to that the number of forum members decreased.
People also come here for socializing and acquaintances. I personally met some people from my local part of the forum and we became good friends.
I see a much greater danger for this and other forums due to the declining interest of younger generations in this way of Internet communication.
Obviously telegram groups and social networks have become much more interesting and attractive ways of communication for young people.

I doubt that the drop in price entails any threat whatsoever to the forum. From the financial angle, the forum allegedly holds something between 125 BTCs and 1250 BTCs (read through this thread to try to depict the most likely figure from all the posts within). Plus there is revenue made through add. That means that, unless BTC really really tanks, there should be an ample margin to subsist for quite some time with the operative costs.We could compare price variations against some of the charts on this thread, namely the second chart (Unique IPs from logged-out users) and third (Unique IPs from logged-in users), and although the data is goes up to the 9th of february 2022 (lacking the more recent months), you can see a seemingly stable historical underlying floor of forum participants no matter what. Sure campaigns may take a hit, and that may drive a bunch of people off the site, but there should still be enough people around (and history) to make it worth while running the forum.

Nah, when bitcoin existed it went through a lot of turbulence times and yet this community grow bigger and bigger.
And even if Satoshi's disappearance, we continue to thrive and on the contrary, it created an enigma around the man and he become a legend. And many has attempted to clone or copy this website and yet there is only one that will continue regardless of what the market condition is.

Assuming your paradigm that Bitcoin will cease to exist and no chitchat about it. Forum will still exist since there's still altcoin section in the forum, In the event that Bitcoin will be hypothetically destroyed, I'm sure new altcoin will rise and take over that stop spot because there's still some blockchain project that deserves to get it like Ethereum.
There will be significant amount of decrease on traffic here since many will loss interest but it will recover soon once the new altcoin arise and create the new cycle of crypto hype.

I don't think that's a serious threat. Sure the price might be unattractive for others, but the tech behind it, still, has a place for discussion.
Plus, despite bitcoin's price drop in recent years, bitcoin forum still exists. And two, there is even ongoing development of a new forum platform called epochtalk[1]. Perhaps the most likely result would be a reduction in forum traffic, but who knows?

If it's a threat to the forum then let's just go back to when bitcoin was in 2018. It didn't affect the forum. Most of the people here have been aware of bitcoin's volatility and won't mind that much if it's about the crash. It's already there so there's no need to worry about such things.
No matter what the situation of the market, the forum will stay and it's not something that you have to worry about.

Is the crash in bitcoin price a threat to forum existence?
Conversely, a drop in bitcoin's price results in the forum flourishing because it generally brings about a decline in the number of people only interested in speculations on a bull market and the increase in the number of people who are here for technology, who really care about fundamentals and bitcoin principles. In short, a bear bitcoin market is a perfect time to start learning the basics of technology, and the bitcointalk forum happens to be a suitable place to get answers to your questions. Of course, the "quantity" of posts may decrease during the bear market, but the quality of posts, which is a more important metric, is going to skyrocket because of the fact that people on the forum seeking knowledge will want to be educated and also educate less experienced users. 
yes offcourse in reality bitcoin created for solved the problem but the technology of blockchain still can be use for everything else right.
and take a note if this your first bear market and you are full time crypto like me it will hurt your heart
but it will heal up soon

No, honestly it work otherwise since I saw there's many thread popping out about Bitcoin price, analysis and speculation due to this crash. That's doesn't make threat to the forum, but it increase the traffic of how many users are more active about this season. However I doubt if this forum only alive because of Bitcoin price will keep increase, because some people didn't even think about the price as they're already trust Bitcoin 100%.
Obviously the forum would still work fine regardless of price. It's just that a lot of times — in times of long and heavy bear markets, users and traffic is expected to drop as well simply because less people search about stuff concerning Bitcoin.
Have seen threads like this in prior dumps too, this forum did fine when Bitcoin was close to worthless, it will do just fine.
