I joined this forum a few months ago. After entering the forum, I tried to know the situation here. I don't know much about forums. I see people from different countries here. And they have good knowledge about BitcoinTalk. Now my question is, who was the first person to join bitcointalk forum? And how did he know about this forum?
This forum was found by Satoshi Nakamato as others has already stated, and the sole purpose of creation was no other thing but to further educate people about Bitcoin after Bitcoin was created in 2009, so in order to let people know and understand what the goal is, thus the need for community like this became necessary at the time for everyone to join regardless of the country which you're coming from and which since then have had a tremendous success educating more people around the world.
