This place could be a dead cat if the new bounty campaign stop coming. Thought this is the best place but this is not the only place now where people can discuss or learn about bitcoin.
There might be a few active forum like altcointalk, bitcoin garden or cryptotalk but at the end of the day, if you need something to discuss with the veteran or if you need some important info or if you want a healthy discussion, you must be here in bitcointalk. I have browsed all the other forum back in the day but I didn’t find them with enough resource for learning about cryptocurrency. Bitcointalk is the only place with a lot of resources on cryptocurrency and I believe, regardless of the presence of signature campaign, it will still be the most resourceful place for cryptocurrency.
I didn't mention another forum either and I know this is the best place to get information about cryptocurrency but there are other places where these things can be learned too. Most of the exchanges now have educational materials. Even coinmarketcap, coingeko is also increasing their educational content from where a new user can learn about crypto. I know this place wasn't created for earning purposes but earning opportunity makes this place more attractive for many users.
