Advertising is not the only way to monetize a site. People will pay for quality coverage on a service or topic. Not always tons of money, but this way you also start building relationships.

Can you please tell me any other reason that could make someone to start a website apart from monetizing.

When I ran CryptoArticles with a friend of mine, it started out as a hobby and something "we did for fun" without even hoping to monetize it.

A year later, we made a nice amount of money & sold the website for even bigger amount of money.

You guys must be very lucky such thing does not happen all the time.

Hello,
I have been a crypto enthusiast for quite some time now, I have been involved in many projects and cryptocurrencies (in 2013 at least half them turned out to be scams sadly)...

However I have a vps with wordpress (which lets you build almost anything) and some free time, if you were me what would you build?... a forum? an info site?... crowdfunding or blog?... I am open to see what you guys think.
I appreciate your comments.

Bitcoin news website could actually earn you some cash but you will need more than vps and time to achieved this, I am pretty sure that you will need some money too.

The best to Advertising a website is making a blog post and share it, also if your website would be mentioned in TV

News sites are definitely the way forward, as long as you can find quality writers, and not people just "telling their opinion".

Quality writers do not come cheap though, I'll tell you that much

As someone who has worked with several websites within the Bitcoin niche, it appears that news related sites seem to be pretty successful. They take a decent investment at the start, unless you want to write all the content yourself, but once they gain a bit of traction you can make pretty hefty profits. Earnings increase once you start selling sponsored reviews, which from what I have seen net the most income for the sites.

Though we are all entitle to our on opinion but I feel the main purpose of the OP asking us this question is because he needs something he could earn decent amount every month, are you saying that bitcoin news niches could be highly monetized?

Yes... that's exactly what I said. News sites earn considerable amounts of advertisement revenue once they pick up steam and build a bit of an audience. In addition, many goods and services will pay top dollar for full length sponsored reviews listed on the site, which costs a lot and earns the site administrator a ton.

Thank you for the insight information, I was also thinking about bitcoin monetization niche, but this really help me also.
It pays to give a helping hands because you will always ended up helping yourself.

All the type of websites that you have in mind are not bad but I often think that the most important thing is monetization method not the website itself.
