... Is there any bitcoin forums, blogs etc that might be visited so that we can reach out to other users?
I google "bitcoin forum" but forums available has presently low in activity.
There is also the letstalkbitcoin.com forum, but it's also rather small, compared to this one. They do however give a few altcoins for participating there, such as posting, writing articles, listening to podcasts, etc.. Or at least they did, last I checked some months ago.
