Questions: In general, do you think Bitcointalk.org is a friendly place, and/or would you be really comfortable telling close friends (offline, in the real world) that they should come here and sign up?
I really enjoyed my stay here. I came here as a stranger, and this forum ended up as an extension of my personality, I learned a lot here, and I can say that I learned about cryptocurrency here than elsewhere, This is the place to be if you're an investor, a gambler, or a miner, or just about anything.
I can say that this is an all-in-one crypto community, and I always make it a point to invite people I just met who are into crypto to visit Bitcointalk to learn more about crypto and everything associated with it.
