When there is a bull run on Bitcoin, the quality of the topics on bitcointalk takes a turn for the worse.
Yeah, I totally hear you. Bitcointalk is now filled with topics like "how to buy/sell bitcoin", "BTC vs GOLD", "how to steal coins" and other unintelligible things that make you wonder, if there is such a thing as Bitcoin development anymore. On other forums you can learn how to use two-factor authentication on the blockchain, but here all you can find is schemes.
