Hello, I have spent many hours studying the old threads at your wonderful forum, and I suggest to anyone they do the same. The amount of challenging, high-quality topics combined with no spam or sigs is a refreshing retro experience for me. As we quickly head into 2024, do you think there many real (unpaid) people still posting here at BCT? Have a great day.
does it really matter if they are being paid or not? People have different reasons for joining the forum and for some, it's totally a platform of learning and sharing their wealth of experience with fellow bitcoineers while for some, they look at the pay as the central point of their existence in the forum.
As long as you could get some financial benefit for doing the same thing you will comfortably do at your convenience, would you reject it just because you came in for the knowledge sake? And the thing is that you're not just being paid for doing nothing so it's not out of place to exist in the forum and actively participate in the forum discussion while receiving some financial accolades in return.
