I don't really understand what you mean by "doesn't get enough recognition" of crypto for the bitcointalk forum. If the number of registered users is the reason you say this forum is not getting the recognition it deserves, then you may be wrong, IMO. Bitcointalk.org is a forum that was born from the satoshi idea after bitcoin was created which basically becomes a place for the bitcoin community to discuss, discuss development projects and many other thing.
Yes and Bitcointalk was one of the reasons why Bitcoin is where it is today if you think back to when Bitcoin was originally created there was very little news and places for information on it. Bitcointalk was that hub of information that people needed. Bitcointalk likely contributed to the amount of developers we have now and was probably a big benefit of the altcoin sector too. Bitcointalk has influenced cryptocurrency as a whole. If you think about all the big names in Bitcoin why are they known and beloved? Gavin was active here and frequently engaged with the community just go check his posts. Satoshi engaged with the very first Bitcoin pioneers and people like HAL frequently posted here. Yet Bitcointalk is losing its members and it is rarely mentioned in news articles and Reddit.
