Bitcointalk forum is a home of solution to any problem you can think of so far as it is concerned with financial growth. Nobody comes with a problem to bitcointalk that users of the forum don't try their best to give good solutions to the problem. Bitcointalk is a forum that carries everyone along and does not segregates or look down on any of it members.
That is one of the great advantages of an open and some how decentralized forum. It is not a decentralized forum per say but there is a great level of freedom in the forum.
Educative interactions and conversations are always carried out. People are willing to help others without charging them financially. I am not that surprised because I learnt that it is the reason Satoshi created this forum. To interact and learn about bitcoin.
The technical aspect of the forum is beautiful and that was the area that first caught my attention when I joined the forum newly. There are gurus there willing to answer questions of any kind and solve people's problems. Kudos to Satoshi for creating bitcoin and this forum.
