The most advantage of using bitcointalk forum for me is that, you are AWARE. By that I mean, there is virtually nothing that happens in the crypto space that passes you without you knowing should you be an active user of the forum. You are educated on almost everything about bitcoin and altcoins.
When it comes to bitcoin price, trend stories on bitcoin, the best wallets to use, issues of scammers, issues with security, upgrades on platforms and lots of things like that. Being in Bitcointalk betters all you know but, you've got to submit yourself completely to it's model which is education #Learning. It's the key to all you need to know.
