Twitter has come a long way in the pecking order for Bitcoin and crypto enthusiasts in general because once upon a time it was
not the place to be for those types of discussions.
What are your views on the Altcoinstalk and Cryptotalk forums specifically about why crypto enthusiasts do (or do not) use them? It has to be realated to something beyond spam and content quality because those issues are being suffered in this forum too.
Can you provide links to where have people gone to discuss crypto related matters? Apart from "altcoinstalks" and "cryptotalk" there is not much that comes to mind except occasional questions you might find on "stackoverflow"
The majority of real Bitcoiners are now on Twitter, where much of the discussion takes place with less spam..
