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..
I ported my BTT to Altcointalk a few years ago when I was still an SR member here and I can confidently tell you that I didn't stay for more than a week before abandoning my account and leaving the forum, the place is total hell for those that want to discuss bitcoin, its more about shitcoin speculation forum, same with Cryptotalk where they paid members to post with some shitty token, it was in Satoshi in the early days but now they created a worthless token and that's whats holding some members over there.
The majority of Altcointalk's Hero and Legendary members are banned BTT users who port their rank to Altcointalk. (Account transfer is no longer permitted.)
