An institution is a place where learning in characters also occur same as Bitcointalk forum too. Bitcointalk forum is able to accommodate different people with different characters. I'm so happy to be a member of this forum where I get knowledge for free which I don't pay for.
The good thing is, this forum has given tons of opportunities to people who are especially businessmen! Lots of discussion here towards price prediction, overall media news, and anything under the sun as long as it is within the scope of cryptocurrencies.
Although secondary in purpose, this forum has enabled tons of users to earn BTCs from participating into campaign signatures. I am pretty sure, the creation of this forum has made millionaires here in the forum- but let us not forget the primary objective of this forum which is the one you just mentioned.
