I don't want to correlate this forum's comedown with the mixer ban, even though I've thought of it and it's likely one major factor, but what's the current picture of Bitcointalk according to you? To me, it's declining in genuine interest.

We're dealing with uninteresting topics. The "hottest" topic of discussion in the last months is Ordinals, followed by ETFs, and then an endless list of speculation-related threads, which were always a "thing" in the past, but gosh, that just seems like our sole concern nowadays.

Now, to that, add that we've lost valuable members, some of which were intellectually influential, and you have an Internet board filled with mostly crap. What's the problem?

We lost some amazing forum members who had a big positive impact and influence on this forum. Their loss will definitely affect this forum and the nostalgia will only make our feelings worse. My personal opinion is that our early, young ages are always good and we always think about that part of the past and call those moments golden times.

This forum is not getting worse but things change. During the early years, the attention was on the development of good crypto products, but now things have changed. NFTs, Ordinals, Runes, Memecoins, these are mainstream today. Is it bad? I personally think that yes, they are bad because I value innovation and development over stupidity but this forum and members should remain in touch with what's mainstream today.

It's really hard for to live without this forum, I just like it, I love members of Bitcointalk and the vibe they carry.
