The forum is definitely a lot quieter than it has been for some time. I guess it’s the natural cycle though as we slid from the ATH to $3,xxx. There’s less interest in bitcoin & fewer people sogning up to post here.

This forum is an institution though, it’s not boring at all.

The place will be buzzing again once bitcoin is drip fed to the mainstream media again during the next bull run.

The forum might not look pretty. It is far from boring tho. The discussions are some of the best quality I have ever seen!
Individual taste differs and what Mr X likes probably may not be suitable for Mr Y and it's understandable
But if you're here to learn,then this forum should be a useful one to you without any problems at all, but if you're here for some other reasons then it may not

If the OP could fix his major reason for joining up in the forum,then it could help us decide whether the forum Is boring or not based on his own perspective,buy from the general perspective and general use cases,its not

I'm saying yes, it needs more images, more awards, more legit activities

Admin is lazy asf Grin

We are all here because of one thing - the blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. This topic is interesting and useful for me.
If you are bored here - go ahead, change the forum to something else and everything ...

The forum is great if you are a newbie, and you want to learn about Bitcoin. But where do you go once you understand the basics? You can turn the forum into a social site, with pictures videos and other trivia for people who have got the time to spend on such fripperies. Or you can introduce discussions about the changes in the economic and political structure of the new world that is emerging. This year has come in like a mouse, but pretty soon the bears, lions and sharks will be vying for control. Bitcoin Talk could help you to become a Stag, and skip away from them to grab the wealth improvement possibilities.

If you can't find any posts to help you to become a Stag, then start some interesting threads. The alternative is to follow the Unicorns into slavery and servitude. Remember Unicorns were invented by man to lure free-spirited wild horses into captivity. Bitcoin Talk can help you to recognise the fake horns that these treasonous animals are wearing.

It's a big NO for me, this is the place where I learned almost half of my crypto knowledge so I don't have any reason to feel board in this forum — seeking for never ending knowledge is fun Cheesy.
I'm saying yes, it needs more images, more awards, more legit activities
Ahh I see, so you want a lively and more colorful type of forum. I suggest you to try Reddit, there are lots of discussions happening out there (not only about crypto) and can see lots of images even having explicit contents Grin.
You are correct if you think that bitcointalk is boring then you should try out some other forums that have more colors and imagery content but without substantial value, I believe if you can take your time to go through the forum you will fine a handful of topics that serves your individual needs as it relates to cryptocurrency.

Forum is no  boring, if you dig deeper, you'll learn a lot of stuff here.
Maybe you are lazy because you find it boring, what's boring is if the forum had more images but the content is not relevant.
We ain't social media, we should info here on crypto related, it might look boring but the fact that this is a growing community, it states that it's not.

If the forum is boring, then the discussion topics aren't one of your interests. In that case, why stick around? I don't frequent makeup forums, because its not my interest. If Bitcoin, Altcoins, or any of the related topics that are often discussed here aren't to your liking, find a forum that caters to your interests.

What images, awards, or "legit activities" were you expecting?
I know forums with better marketplaces than this and they all use cryptos

And that's only the marketplace, which is supposed to be the best section of this website beside few threads in first categories
You check and compare websites by popularity and not by boring. Bitcointalk.org has over 100,000 members discussing every day with thousands of posts yet you find it boring! The admins are not the generators of the discussions so how can you label them lazy? I am afraid, this post is just to cause a distraction.

That's exactly what plays out when the market suffers as its doing right now,we get a reduction in the furore in here and a retreat of some users into their shells.
It's been said this present dip could kill of majority of the shitcoins,i think that may further clean the forum up.

You can make 6 million dollars for posting your name here so if that is boring then show me somewhere else on the net I can get more excitement.



Yeah I see, you just have to be russian and start an announcement of a new ICO to get rich here

But then they end up picking up soaps in jail  Smiley

No not at all. For just saying "i'm in"

That was all you had to do and boom here is 6 Million bucks.  Well around that I think it was about 290 BTC worth.  For each poster.

Not bad for about 2 seconds work.

Not many places on the net you get such action.

Of course you need to be in the right place at the right time and know when to cash out.


6M is huge money but OP has the point also. Personally I am here because I am investing cryptocurrency whom Satoshi created. I just wonder how would someone do things in a second to get that money? Is it the contribution of the investors in a certain project?

No hard feelings but the money of the people should be keep safe and should be invested to a project to where it could earn. This is why many of the user's mindset had been always thinking that running an ico project is like robbing a bank easily.

So, the forum might be boring but we had used to.it already and besides it is best to remain this way and let the admin focuses.more on the beautification of.new bitcoin forum.

no investment was required you just had to say im in and you got 290btc worth. Of course you had to sell at the correct time. But that was quite a few years later. Still 6M for typing 2 words is not something I would say was boring. However the money is not the best part about being part of this new shift to decentralisation.

I made around 20k for each captcha I did for the raiblocks distribution (nano), sold it near the top and made an easy $1.5million.

Why use Rothschild play money when we can all create our own and take the power back. Fuck the Bankers.

Its not boring,the bounty hunters are started to fade away since nowadays we can find signature campaigns with bitcoin payments rarely and most of the bounties turning into scams.
If you are one of them they you may not interested in this forum now.

There is a decrease in posting activity though, that seems to bring things down a notch recently.

Market probably dropped the interest of core bitcoin investors, as there little to discuss in the situation except speculations and the occasional FUD.
A more active forum does not automatically relate to a more fun forum though, sometimes the drama in here might be a little too much for my taste.
You are right the drama in here in recent time have made a lot of investors and the forum have been a little boring right now because a lot have change in here and the market price downfall have killed the interest of most members, but I still believe if you can take your time to go through the various sections in this forum you will fine topics that will spice up you day.

I feel those that lose interest in building a decentralised trustless arena when the "price" drops are not real enthusiasts for it in the first place. If it is just an opportunity to make money with no other enthusiasm for the underlying principles then when they leave the concentration of real enthusiasts and proponents for these things will increase and better conversations will develop again.

Part of the reason for the price drop is the massive economic changes that are happening at the moment. I would have expected that there would be an increase in quality posting as a result, and it is a sadness to me that this isn't happening.

For example, the US is increasing its extraction of oil, despite the fact that much of US processes are uneconomic at current price levels. It has to do this in an attempt to save the petro-dollar. The increase in US production is about the same as the amount that the Saudis have agreed to reduce - is this a coincidence? Many see the dollar as the ultimate safe haven currency, but some are starting to doubt this, and are switching to physical gold and silver. There is also evidence that a few of the banking whales are purchasing large blocks of Bitcoin, and the price depression is being manipulated to their advantage. I have tried to start threads about such topics, but I haven't had much success. I'm either accused of being a tin hat wearer, or the threads are used as spamming vehicles or ignored. I can't be the only member that is interested in these important topics, and I think that the forum would benefit if members could support these discussions.

I was away for a month so do forgive me if it started to drop off before, but I'm just looking at my reports, and seeing how many I'm actually getting compared to before I went away, and its no where near the amount, and this started to happen right around the price drop. That doesn't prove anything necessarily, because there was only a few users reporting by mass anyway. Just an observation I made.
Yeah no, even I have become quite inactive, IRL issues come first, so I have to pay heed to them more than anything else.

So like reporters have only reduced? That's not surprising, seeing how things have been, I am surprised people are still here, remove the signatures and you'll have more chances of seeing crows than actual users.

Honestly, there's literally no motivation whatsoever for the reporters here, everything seems dead to me, at least. Wonder if we would ever get to know something useful, from the forum's perspective, like knowing whatever happened to Slickage delivering the forum on time, which was supposedly 4 years ago.  Undecided

Think this is expected with the recent price hits. Normally, we get the initial throwing the toys out of the pram, and loads of questions, and panic posts. Then that dies down when these users leave, because "Bitcoin is dead", and we are left with those who are truly into Bitcoin, and don't get too reactionary.

It'll likely be a few quiet months, until there's some major event that influences the price again.
Not really, the forum has comparatively become quiet even before the price plummeted, especially in regions like Reputation and Meta, people just have started to disappear, again.

Gosh, I wish I was more active. We need to spice things up a little, bring some interest in people. Even the tinniest of things like having the Reporter Badges finally done, might sparkle something nice. We would like to know what is going on with the new forum as well, but that's too much to ask, for the price of it was like only a few million bucks and the deadline was due years ago.
