The forum must create it's native token
Must The use of that verb, makes it look forced and compulsory.I like the idea of this forum getting its own token like what some fora are doing, even the Satoshi Street Bets (a famous telegram group) is trying to float its own too. It will be a shame for BTT to lag in this aspect being the pioneer cryptocurrency forum.
but should not be listed on any exchange.
What will be the essence then if it is not listed on an exchange? It's meaningless going through that route.
Although the ticker btt is already taken, we can have btf that stands for bitcointalk forum.
What makes you think this ticker won't be taken up since you've made this idea public?
Any crypto project planning to run their airdrop or bounty campaign must buy these tokens first from forum. This will give forum another stream of revenue generation.
This will also prevent scam projects from running bounty and running away without paying.
Nice idea. But this will only work if the proposed BTF token is listed on exchange(s). Otherwise no project will want to pay for a shitcoin.
