I think Bitcointalk forum doesn’t get nearly enough credit for its contribution to crypto adoption.
Firstly, Bitcointalk.org was created by Satoshi Nakamoto, the founder of Bitcoin. This factor alone gives the forum an edge over other communities. Research on the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto will forever be reference to the forum. Satoshi's last message is found on the forum and I believe that could be an Nft in the future as well as his other posts here. Yes I said it! I won't be surprised to find a compilation of Satoshi's threads being sold as nft.
     Also this was the first ever Bitcoin forum on the internet. If this was human history we would be the first men. The first transaction was done right here on the forum, Laszlo Hanyecz spent 10,000 BTC at Papa John’s pizza for the purchase of two pizzas. This transaction is more famous than the forum itself. May 22 became world Bitcoin pizza day, celebrated in crypto communities. On blogs and article they refer to the forum as "the bitcoin community", I suspect this is part reason why there the forum is not very popular.
     I’m not saying the forum is perfect and cannot be improved or anything but I think we  deserve a lot more credit for contribution to the crypto space. All this could be used to attract more users to the platform.
