By most definitions not even classical forums like Bitcointalk count as social media so I don't see how Bitcoin should be. And while Bitcoin has a community, being able to communicate over the Bitcoin blockchain as a side-effect of monetary transactions does not really make a social network either. You may be able to derive certain social relationships by analyzing transaction flows, but Bitcoin as a protocol itself does not facilitate social networking.

This. Now we're talking.

Thank you for understanding what I'm trying to convey. Very well said.

Do you think there are strengths in focusing on exploring possibilities of communication using Bitcoin core? Or is it a waste of time?
