I have being readying news and also been using many social media networks such as Twitter Facebook, Instagram, YouTube etc, but I have not heard about the crypto forums like Altcointalks, Bitcointalk, Bitcoingardin, cryptalk forums as part of the social media platforms. Could it be that these forums are separated or that they are been described as other networks not directly to be called a social networks?
I need your thoughts on where all these forums can be classified.

To us, we may see it as another platform of knowledge to share ideas and gain knowledge about cryptocurrency. It is somehow limited to some discussions even though the forums have diversified much to other sectors for continuous engagement and discussion to carry everyone along.
Social media is actually a place to socialise and it carries along every sectors of life in it, which if some of them are being discussed in forums like this, it’ll not get the attention of users there. I see forums as a learning platform and not a place to have a socialisation which is what social media is much specialized on.
Too many unreal things in social media can’t be found in forums as it is being more moderated than the social platforms. I would not even want them to be classified as same. Everyone has its purpose and they can’t be inter whined.

What I think about forums like Bitcointalk and this forum is that they are social networks. People meet on these forums to discuss about cryptocurrencies. Some become friends. Some even know that they are from the same country on this forums. So what could be more than social network if not them. Social means people interacting with one another.
-
crypto forums are very different from social media networks in general, we can see from the features and technology that they are very different. social media that is generally connected directly if we want to communicate with friends or other people and can also see other people's posts or stories, far from this forum. this forum is only limited to discussions and even then it is not just any discussion but only talks about crypto developments.

You can describe them as well as a social media platform but it just varies on how you'd classify them. Most people are classifying social media because they have features that we're seeing from them and with the mentioned platforms, they're all forums and they're differentiating forums and social media platforms. IMHO, there's really no issue whether they'd call these as social medias or not. It's not a big deal though.

For me it's a community and not like social media networks, which means that we have rules here and functioning like we are a separate entity and we should be like those other social media out there. So yeah, for me it should be separated, we are somewhat more discrete here, we have admins and mods unlike in other social media, it's a free for all, but here we should be at least civilized as we are a online community. And perhaps some of us could known each other in real life as we have been in this community for almost 10 years, here and in Bitcointalk.

There are various definition of "social network". But forum usually only used to discuss certain topic, without much feature to communicate between two people or communicate in small group.

Why we must classify crypto forums?
Whether it is a part of social media or not, the most important thing is its function to crypto community.
In my own view, as long as it can be accessed by all people around the world, it can be classified as a social media. But if you use the term of "social network", it is a different thing.
crypto forums are very different from social media networks in general, we can see from the features and technology that they are very different.
Each social media has its own features. There is nothing wrong if crypto forums have their own features, it is adjusted with its function. I don't think we should make it as a problem, dude. ;)
-
It's a social network but it's still different from social media.
~ this forum is only limited to discussions and even then it is not just any discussion but only talks about crypto developments.
Just like how there are groups on facebook that are specific to crypto discussions, there are also certain boards here that discusses other areas. Obviously, it's mostly crypto but if you spend more time to navigate the forum, you'll see sections about politics, economics, general topics, and more.
-
This platform is mixed and filled with people from different parts of the world with different perspectives and walks of life, coupled with their experiences and encounters, and have found themselves here sharing and exchanging idea's and information to learn and as well to teach others helping them to scale through processes that could be of high benefit to them, I believe that many people here have made good friendships here that have been of great help to them and I also believe that many here have met live as well. These are the features of social and lots more and I must say that irrespective of the fact that we majorly discuss more about crypto currency, it doesn't limit our conversations here as there are other boards where one can express their view and by so doing, socialization have taken place so I believe that as long a platform is made of different people all over the world coming together to share idea's, they are socializing and crypto platforms are not exempted because they are symbol of educational experience and activities.

If it is called a social network, it means the network is for the aim of socializing and bringing people together who seek a social life. Forums like this are mostly educative and for educational purposes, so they qualify as a network but not a social type. If this forum were a social network, you would see provisions for displaying pictures, and PM's to one another will almost seem normal.
-
Well I wouldn't actually classify them as social media platforms rather ill classify them as something like an ecosystem based on a common topic which is crypto currencies. However for the case of bitcoin talk it's more of a place for crypto too except it's main focus and objective is cryptocurrency discussion. There are many reasons I won't classify them as social media however one of the main reasons is because in most of these forums, members are pretty much anonymous compared to social media platforms.
In fact let's just leave them with the word forums because they literally are discussion places like I said earlier. Social media platforms are in many ways different from them and so calling them or classifying them as social media simply won't fit.

It depends on where you look at it imo, the thing i see why many people use Facebook or general social media is because there are many active users there and discussing random things while in crypto forums like bitcointalk, altcointalk and others, it is more about cryptocurrencies so those who don't like cryptocurrencies will definitely not join the discussion in these forums.
-
The crypto forums you just listed, Bitcointalk and Altcointalks are definitely social networks but are more specialized and focused or should i say designed for a particular niche specifically for crypto discussions. They might not have the flashy features of mainstream social media, but they serve the same purpose with other social media platforms like instagram and the rest which is connecting people and sharing ideas.
-
Yes, correct! I would say that forums can also be falling under the social network category as we still socialize here and connect to each other but compared to the most popular social networks like Facebook or X, we know that the forum platform is functioning differently in many ways though of course there can be some similarities also. Forums have been here even before the rise of the usual social media platforms and still here today providing good features that users are enjoying just like here at ATT. You can read more on the history and evolution of online forums here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_forum).

Forums in general, not just crypto forums are all part of social networks, majority of people out there don't usually mention any of this sites you mentioned possibly because they are not aware that this sites exist, the only difference I can tell you is that those ones you say or assume they classified as social networks have downloadable apps with millions of daily active users perhaps, where forums are web based, and can't boost of the same number in terms of popularity and active users.
But also remember that Facebook and Twitter - now X (for example) all started as web based social network, same as Bitcointalk, altcoinstalks and the rest are today which is to tell you that If any of this forum decides to build and launch an app, they can too, just to prove that they are all part of the social networks family.

Forums are identical to open discussions, debates and rebuttals.. here we can exchange ideas between users and the good thing is, the discussion is more specific... Bitcoin talk forum, altcoinstalks, bitcoingarden are forums about cryptocurrency, and we all discuss anything related to cryptocurrency here... unlike social media such as Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, there it is not so comfortable to use for continuous discussion...
If I classify forums, then I can categorize forums as social media, everyone can discuss and express their opinions in the forum, and this forum is the media used as a container.

I can see that you will create a good post in this time. We know that crypto forum are not same part directly. Because we know that some country don’t allow in cryptocurrency for there country. Bangladesh is also cannot allow in cryptocurrency. So if we remain crypto forums are same part of social network, i believe that it’s cannot correct almost. We know that forum can be crypto discussion platform. Where we discussion crypto update, but in social media network like facebook, YouTube, etc we could not discussed our opinion.
-
The forums you mentioned, like Altcointalks, Bitcointalk, Bitcoingarden, and Cryptalk, are indeed part of the broader online ecosystem, but they are typically classified differently from mainstream social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.In essence, while crypto forums are indeed social platforms in the sense that they facilitate interaction and community building, they are often categorized separately due to their focus on specific topics (crypto and blockchain) and the nature of their user base. They serve more as specialized discussion forums rather than broad social networks, which is why they may not be as prominently mentioned in discussions about social media platforms.
-
It's true but it's not as big of a social network as Twitter or Telegram. That's why you see many crypto companies with a Telegram, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, even Facebook presence but almost no forum accounts at all, with a few exceptions. Because it's on these social networks where the majority of followers are at.
-
Crypto forums may not always be listed as a social media platform, but I think they ARE part of the social media ecosystem. It's just focused on discussions about crypto and blockchain. They are also more text-based, topic-oriented, and moderated compared to Facebook, Instagram, and X.

Yes, we can call it like that, but crypto forums is obviously specific for people who are into crypto obviously and all we talk is everything about that. As compare to social networks like they can talk and discuss everything it might not be crypto at all.
And here we are moderated and we know the rules and we live by it. And even if we don't know each other, at least we have respected each other with our accounts name. So that's good enough for forums like this and Bitcointalk to be able to exists for a a long.

I agree. We are a bit different from real social platforms, however, we are quite alike. Plus, we are sure that we will discuss exactly what we want - crypto or something that's on the board.
-
We can message each other, we can create a discussion and we can add people as our contacts on forums.
There's little difference from what we do on other social media, so I consider forums as part of social networks as long as there are interactions between users, its up to the user what he prefers to use online.
-
I'm not sure whether forums have been a huge presence in online communities internationally or not, but in my area there's a clear downtrend on their relevance since a few years ago. I remember using forum is a trendy thing when I was in highschool, but as of right now almost everyone who's into that thing seems to move on to other platforms. It doesn't help that the company who own one of the most famous forum community makes so many changes to increase their ads revenue. I wouldn't be surprised if crypto forum is even more niche because of that.

Yep, they are just not so massive usually as messengers and the media, and they don't tend to go off-topic so quite often ;D

Forums are just dedicated place for a particular discussion but go spice it up, you can see that there is subsection for other discussions. They are added to make discussion more fun and easy and not complicated for people, this is why you see t h is forum discussion most often spread around coins, crypto but sometimes, you see some other type of discussion.
Crypto forums aren't discuss a lot on social media but it doesn't stop the fact that the forum has been the best place. Social media are most likely just for usual talk but crypto talks are specific and more demanding than the ones on your devices.
-
Crypto forum are different form the social media platforms we are used to and that is why they are called forum and not social media platform, because their main intention is on a course, which is on various discussions about crypto, that is why it can also be seen that anyone who is interested in cryptocurrency will have to go through their digital platforms like this, learn and ask related question they might need answers to, but the creation of social networks is for engaging people for a social life while this covers a lot of aspects and benefits on why choosing a crypto forum over social media platforms.

I agree and will definitely agree, not much different from other social media, but it will be more focused on one conversation and cannot get out of that direction, but on other social media you can still do other things, from the topic and that is normal broad here It will not be possible to get It out of the topic. It is true that it is not as big and wide as compared to other media, but it can be more focused and directed at a clear topic.
-
If its going to be considered social media, can the government censored it also?
This is going to be the next question when it comes to forums being a social media network. We are somehow going to be divided instead of just having discussions. Just like other social media platforms, its going to be visible to anyone where a user is from if they collect KYC.

Of course, sometimes things go in a bit different direction, and that's normal - conversation and discussion is not like a robot, it's a river, which flows naturally from one place to another, with different flow at some places. And it sometimes ends up where we would never expect it ;D

What can you do using a social media? Posts, Messaging, Promotion, Sales, Group Discussion etc. And you can do this in every crypto forum. However, although many things are private in social media, this forum is open source and you will get more facilities in the forums than a social media. Forums can sometimes be compared to social media because on both platforms you can do the same category of tasks. But sometimes it may be different. like in forums you get specific boards for specific things and specific topics but in social media you don't get that completely
-
forum is not a social media like facebook, x or even ig where the forum focuses on communication and learning what we want to know like bitcointalk, focuses on the progress of bitcoin and its development as well as similar forums, all discussing cryptocurrency, the main topic of the formation of a forum

Yeah, we've got a cornerstone of sorts, that holds everything like glue together ;D
-
Cryptocurrencies cannot be compared to normal social networks because they are very different from traditional social networks. This forum is mainly discussed to promote cryptocurrency and increase the breadth of cryptocurrency. And the general social media we use to communicate and get world news. But cryptocurrency is not like that. Here are some specific topics to discuss. And it doesn't get much publicity. Governments of some countries have not legalized it yet. All in all this forum has nothing in common with normal social media. Two completely different platforms.

Indeed, the main purpose of the forum is something that can be resolved together and helps each other in the main case of crypto and does not rule out the possibility of other things, but the focus is very clear.
Agree, that we have almost the same foundation in a clear and meSPAM BANble container to be used as a reference to be able to help each other, because sometimes not all problems, especially crypto that continues to grow can be resolved by themselves and need someone who knows more.
-
Since everyone has different ideas in crypto, the need for crypto forums is immense to share ideas and gain experience in the crypto world. But it is true that crypto forums generally function like social networks. Here discussions, disagreements, everything is posted on social media and presented in front of everyone. But social media is a bit different as there are discussions about social life and crypto apart from us. But all these forums only discuss about crypto. Where you will research crypto and find sources to earn money.
-
Would you submit your KYC and phone number verified for your forum account if the forum requires?
This has been happening on social media sites and if for example forums are concidered SM, it might just be mandated as requested by governments.
There is a crackdown happening like the telegram was the latest but it started long ago from facebook and twitter.
-
This has been happening on social media sites and if for example forums are concidered SM, it might just be mandated as requested by governments.
Which government mandates social media sites to do KYC though? As far as I'm aware we can register a throwaway account on Reddit easily right now. Things might be different with Telegram or Twitter since they use phone numbers to filter out spammers, but it's not like they ask for your ID to approve your account. While it's difficult to obtain a new phone number to register a new account, people have multiple ways to bypass them. Even if that is true, I doubt a forum like this one will face scrutiny because they aren't dealing with money directly or have enough traffic for the government to care about. CMIIW.

Not really mandated but if google.com/facebook who for all we know is controlled by government and even censored contents will make users login using any kind of websites including forums like this with a single facebook or google botton. it will be a bigger database where they could link where one user goes.

Crypto forum is a great place to seek knowledge and share experiences with fellow members. I get a lot of knowledge from crypto forum as a social network and we can also get connections here. In the crypto forum we can also follow bounty campaigns that will generate good rewards for us. This really helps us in getting additional capital for investment.

but I have not heard about the crypto forums like Altcointalks, Bitcointalk, Bitcoingardin, cryptalk forums as part of the social media platforms. Could it be that these forums are separated or that they are been described as other networks not directly to be called a social networks?
I need your thoughts on where all these forums can be classified.
I don't agree that crypto forums are social networks, they are simply forums for discussing about crypto and not a platform created or designed for you to network with people, make new friends and get connected with people on the other part of the world. I admit that one can make friends in crypto forums, but that's not why it was created.

The forum is indeed designed for us to discuss crypto and gain knowledge and share things related to crypto, maybe good experiences or bad experiences that have happened to us or we have heard. So by being active in the crypto forum, this can increase our knowledge about crypto. And the social network will also appear by itself there, so we can't refuse it to get friends there.

I agree. They have some similarities, but we can't put a "=" between the two.
We can say that forum is more specialized on the matters discussed here, and about crypto in general.

Bitcointalk had it's time, about a decade ago, projects would be seeing it mandatory to announce their topics there, and also prominent crypto personalities had accounts, I'm sure you know them more than I do, but it seems lately that charm has disappeared from the forum and projects don't find it necessary to come there.

Like i said in my post that you quoted, you can make friends here, there is no doubt about that, but the purpose of crypto forums is not for networking, it is more about discussions. Take note that we are also discussing under pseudonyms, unlike in social media channels like Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, etc.

If we compare the forum and the posts on social media accounts most of what I see there is just a promotion unlike here on the forum we discuss about crypto yes we have some signatures but we discuss anything related to crypto unlike in social media accounts it is pure promotions and ads.
I don't know why we need to compare the forum to social media; there are no fair discussions on social media compared to the forum.

Forums can provide a fair discussion space so that we can discuss more details about something or share experiences in investing in crypto, while social media does more promotion about something, so I agree with you. If you want to learn a lot about crypto, we should be more active in the forum.

Social media is very different as compare to this community for example. Here we can have a lively discussions on anything related to crypto, unlike in social media, your post my relate to crypto but that's it, there is no discussions or whatsoever and mostly you will see just negative comments as most of them are what we call keyboard warriors.
Here you can call it as it is, debate, argument and discussions but at the end of the day, we remain within the boundaries of the rules of this community not to hurt or instigate anything about it, and it's going to be fair in the end.

Like i said in my post that you quoted, you can make friends here, there is no doubt about that, but the purpose of crypto forums is not for networking, it is more about discussions. Take note that we are also discussing under pseudonyms, unlike in social media channels like Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, etc.
If we compare the forum and the posts on social media accounts most of what I see there is just a promotion unlike here on the forum we discuss about crypto yes we have some signatures but we discuss anything related to crypto unlike in social media accounts it is pure promotions and ads.
I don't know why we need to compare the forum to social media; there are no fair discussions on social media compared to the forum.

Keyboard warriors are people who do nothing but criticize and ruin other's lives on social media, but the fact is in real life, they're the ones that can't fix their own life.
Like what I did I posted about Bitcoin but I got bashed by someone else telling me that I am a scammer and promoting a networking company they don't even know exactly what is Bitcoin.
Social media is not a good place to discuss crypto we better stay with the forum if we want to discuss crypto like you said our boundaries are the forum rules anyone here can report those who do bashing it is likely the same as trolling so we can report them. Unlike on social media, bashers are ignored or what you can only do is to block them.

I have being readying news and also been using many social media networks such as Twitter Facebook, Instagram, YouTube etc, but I have not heard about the crypto forums like Altcointalks, Bitcointalk, Bitcoingardin, cryptalk forums as part of the social media platforms. Could it be that these forums are separated or that they are been described as other networks not directly to be called a social networks?
I need your thoughts on where all these forums can be classified.
I can be present at altcoinstalks starting from the airdrop channel and directed to altcoinstalks to discuss more focused on cryptocurrency. I created an account and discussed here in real time using my free time after real work.
Social media such as Facebook, Twitter etc. tend to market a coin but for cryptocurrency forums it is more specific to discuss cryptocurrency in detail and I got the knowledge in an easy way but quite difficult if we have to think.
-
So by being active in the crypto forum, this can increase our knowledge about crypto. And the social network will also appear by itself there, so we can't refuse it to get friends there.

It's true that crypto forums are places for discussion, not networks like Twitter, Facebook, Telegram, WhatsApp. here we can look for friends to increase our knowledge so we can better understand crypto in discussions, what do you say in this forum, many people use pseudonyms instead of their real names. So I think crypto forums are very different from social media networks.

It can be said that this is more specific compared to social media, social media is more random, while here we can conclude that everyone is interested or is doing activities in the crypto field.
which is even more useful when we can discuss and so on, we can share experiences, knowledge and others. Although sometimes we have different opinions, here we can respect each other's opinions unlike social media where I have different opinions then it will be an unhealthy debate.

So many difference between the two but somehow the question still.comes up whether forums are same as social media sites. They do have simarities , we just don't share images but in some forums users can upload a number of images in their profile.
In crypto forums however, we discourage revealing personal information which is the reasonn users are able to say freely whatever it say which is ideal than in facebook and twitter.

Forums are niche specific unlike the social media platforms where it seems interests in there are broad and can sometimes toxic for some people. Though there are streaming sites that provides pure entertainment and I think most of these social platforms can be monetized so it's up to us whether we are just a user or a content creator. In forums, it also depends on what we are up into whether automotives, internet tips and tricks, crypto, treasure hunting so yeah for me they two different variety of community where people can choose depending on their hobbies and passion.
-

Exactly, socmed mentioned by OP has general niche, most niche can be seen there and those mentioned forum are for bitcoin and crypto related stuff only, which i think these sites are incomparable.
Forums can be considered as social media with specific niche, check reddit, it's the best example of social media as well as a forum.

The forum is more specific, we can discuss something and have a discussion in the forum more freely and even though sometimes we have different opinions, we can discuss it in more detail. While social media is more random and sometimes just for entertainment. In my opinion, if we are looking for knowledge and experience, it is better in the forum than social media.
-
Could it be that these forums are separated or that they are been described as other networks not directly to be called a social networks?
The online crypto forums are way different than any social network. Crypo forums are meant to give information about crypto currencies where users can be part of discussions, and in such discussions, they share their insights about different topics mostly related to cryptocurrencies.
In social media these days people go only to have some type of entertainment, while on crypto forums you'll meet many intelligent people who share their valuable knowledge to others in the form of posts.
Social media is more or less considered as waste of ones time while the crypto forums are more likely considered as utilization of someone's time in something good. Those members who are part of crypto forums know very well that those forums are different than social media platforms.

I myself actually use social media, one of which is for entertainment, especially now that many social media platforms are focused on that, although it will also depend on what we see before, because that will determine the algorithm.
While in the forum I prefer to dive in and learn new things, I can also find many beginners looking for answers to questions about forums or crypto and I am happy if I can share my experiences with them.

Crypto forum like this one and bitcointalk or not the same as social media networks, but we can through their uses enjoy the same fun and liveness as we do with the social medias, the crypto forums are more advanced in many ways than the social medias, all we may have to do is in getting the best of having fun and pleSPAM BANble moment in whatever thing we do online including the platforms we are.

agree with what you said, that there is indeed a significant difference, that is seen. It is one of them is that in the forum there are clear rules, and you can't do whatever you want by ignoring the rules to make posts or rebuttals, because without rules the Forum is no different from other social media., In the Forum is to find explanations that may not be found elsewhere especially about crypto issues etc., so that there is a solution that can be done. Agree, Crypto forums are clearly one step ahead of social media in general.

Crypto forums are not the same as social networks they are owned and managed by different individuals. Altcointalk for example is under the ownership of a member with the username admin. I've heard of other forums, but Cryptalk is new to me as well.
How did you come across all of them if you hadn’t heard of these forums before? These forums are simple sites where we can discuss various topics related to cryptocurrency and other subjects. Bitcointalk is the most popular with Altcointalk being the second most famous. I’ll check out Cryptalk too.

no other CT.com I think is what he means. Looks more known to Russians I think. Its also know ln to Bitcointalk users since it was marketed there for some time in the past.
It wouldn't be surprising decades later that local forums will separate from large forums like this one. But a lot of forums nowadays does have a Cryptocurrency section in their forums.
-
Yes, I think crypto forums are indeed part of social networks. We can interact in many ways here. We can talk about crypto, share ideas, and e-meet others with similar interests. That’s why it’s like a social network.

Actually it is not wrong if we say that the crypto forum is a social network because we can get friends, relations in this place too. We can share knowledge and experience while we invest in crypto. because there are many things that we can get from the forum, there are bounties and sirdrops that are shared here so that members can also get rewards from bounties and airdrops
-
I think forums could actually be bigger places for crypto than even twitter. While I do agree that twitter plays a huge role in crypto and that is why we keep seeing twitter end up being the first thing airdrops end up asking is a follow on twitter and second is usually a retweet. However, forums are a bit more uncensored in that way, at twitter you may see people shilling for shitty stuff but at forums when a token is shared you end up seeing everyone having equal chances to say want they want and if there is something wrong with the projects then you can read it on the forum topics. Plus people could talk about many things from economics to speculation to trading to even sports as well because we can talk about gambling.

I don't want it to be part of social media, it's a place where we don't learn anything but waste our time while making the social media companies sucking all our data and sell them for millions.. But crypto forums are created for community and actual discussion happens related to crypto and anyone can participate as long as they don't violate the forum rules and importantly freedom of speech.

CT.com is also new for me I wonder how many crypto forums will be out there I have seen gaming forums, and I know there must be at least one forum for every kind of passion. Who cares if the Russian own the forum who own if this forum is also owned by a Russian. I was not of ct and that it has been even marketed on BTT.
The cryptalk forum does not exist When I searched about it I found a site where they ask to connect wallet to swap tokens and the site is total spam.

Our forum is a great place for discussion and sharing knowledge, we can discuss with fellow members and gain a lot of knowledge from the crypto world. While social media is just a means of promotion, in my opinion like that. Crypto forums are more useful than just wasting our time on social media and maybe like you said they suck our data and sell it, but I don't know the truth.

the discussion about forums to be considered social media could be a proposal from the higher place.
you understand it when social media are now "regulated" which in a precise term censored. there are several countries consider banning twitter instead because they couldn't censored it. but facebook for all we know has local team of fact checkers that will suspend your account if you go against their narrative.
so it wouldn't be surprising to see admin going to receive subpoena from government to turnover our data ;D i hope he is not that vulnerable because Theymos according to some users is vulnerable to the government pressure. just imagine this Elon one of the riches person on earth is still pressured to give up twitter files.

Different Opinions, I think I have got the massage, Altcoinstalks, Bitcointalk are great forum for Cryptocurrency discussions and acquiring knowledge from forum members. It differs from other social networks like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram because every discussions is directly focused on on cryptocurrency and the blockchain technology.
The social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram are mainly for entertainment, social meetings together with friends and family, promoting businesses, advertising. In infacts, forums like Bitcointalk, Altcoinstalks and others may be classified as advanced social network for learning cryptocurrency, trading/investments opportunities and the blockchain.

Yes, honestly I get a lot of knowledge about crypto from forums like bitcointalk and altcointalk, because in the forum we can read and learn a lot of good discussions about crypro and this is really actual and thoroughly discussed. Reading comments from altcoinstalks and bitcointalk members always makes me curious to see the forum and read it.

I took the illustration from this, and this is also almost the same explanation as in other sections about what social media is.
From the illustration, it is clear what is meant by social media.
(https://talkimg.com/images/2024/09/19/gGDsv.png)
Crypto forums such as Bitcointalk, Altcoinstalks, and others, already contain elements of social media. namely:
- Computer based technology
- Place for sharing information, ideas, and thoughts
- Place for discussion
- Any interaction among the members
and it is done virtually, and this becomes a community too.
So yes, this kind of forum is one of the social media.
It's just that the concept may be different, the same as several other social media whose concepts may also be different.

That is something we are really are subjected to regulation and forums will also be regulated by governments if needed.
We are living in very close to a dystopian world where every one has limited things to do and say. But they still want us to believe we have freedom of speech.

We just speak mainly about crypto and there are fewer off-topics there, I think overall, if you want to speak about crypto - you would choose BitcoinTalk of Altcointalk, no questions asked.

Well I still don’t consider it as a social media - it doesn’t look anything like the modern social media platform or typical social media platforms, it’s true that they are both being used in similar ways (with some differences between them).
In terms of structures and the way information are being presented we can already see some differences between the both of them.

If you take a candy in a colorful wrapping, and take a chocolate candy out from the box, you will have candies in your hand, but not a candy and a piece of chocolate. Even a definition of a forum and social media have lots of common. Both generate content, content is generated by users, both a network of users.

Then what it - can - be considered?
I don’t see any problem with it being referred to as “forum” we have always called it forum e.g Bitcointalk forum, altcoinstalks forum and yet we all understood what we were talking about so why the need to start differentiating it into social media or not?

It's not about Bitcointalk, Altcoinstalk or crypto forum. My outside career has its global forum where we discuss, share and talk many things about the development, the set back and common things and we can never discuss such in social media and I believe that's why they call it forum and not social media, the two are completely different things.
The forum discuss in depth things while social media might just share few things and some information discuss might even be wrong and no one will correct them but forum, you will get corrected immediately for spreading wrong information about what is been discussed for that time.

In the forum discuss more details because we can discuss there, as you said if we spread wrong information in the forum other members will immediately correct it this is something positive that will increase our knowledge about crypto. While social media only spreads information and there is no feedback from the information because there is no room for discussion like the forum provides.

I personally focus more on finding information and knowledge in the crypto forum altcoinstalks and bitcoinstalk, because the discussion is more detailed, this is true because many members also have the same opinion. if social media is only for finding updated information, but usually the information is also shared in the forum.

I have being readying news and also been using many social media networks such as Twitter Facebook, Instagram, YouTube etc, but I have not heard about the crypto forums like Altcointalks, Bitcointalk, Bitcoingardin, cryptalk forums as part of the social media platforms.

I need your thoughts on where all these forums can be classified.
crypto forums focus more on discussing cryptocurrency than others, and only certain people want to enter this forum.
I am personally grateful to be able to know this crypto forum, because from here I get a lot of experience, knowledge and so on about crypto.
Of course this cryptocurrency forum is different from social media in general, such as Facebook and others.
-

It's a little different but actually almost the same as social networks in general. Only it is specifically for crypto, but it does not rule out the possibility of always having topics that are currently being updated to be discussed, and, of course, it provides enlightenment about crypto in general, and can exchange ideas about crypto that are always updated at all times.

I think this question depends on the context of what is being discussed because someone who has not come across forums like Alcointalk and Bitcointalk will not not that they all fall into the social network as there are millions of people all over the world here sharing and exchanging ideas and knowledge about crypto currency and that is also a form of socialization because the only this that makes these platforms different from the other social media platform like Facebook, X, Instagram etc is that your not allowed to add friends and discuss individuals but instead your to contribute your knowledge about different crypto currency and see how they can be promoted so crypto forums like Alcointalk, Bitcointalk forms part of the social network your talking about because what we actually doing here is socialization as i we all are here to learn and exchange idea together which is the highest form of socialization. So that is why I say it depends on the context of what is being discussed ordinarily someone who is not aware of these kind of forums will argue with you on crypto forums being social network but critically looking at it forums like Alcointalk are into social networking business

This is an exclusive social media platform for crypto that lets us interact and learn about what’s new in the world of digital currencies. Each topic under discussion really enlightened me and expanded my perspective of life, and makes me closer to people who have the same passion as me. With frequent relevant information posted, we can propose our thoughts, discuss the topic, and improve our knowledge about crypto.

actually I agree if the forum has changes to be more different, but so far I am comfortable looking for news updates in the forum reading friends' opinions here and more detailed discussions about the latest info and experiences shared by members. I get a lot of knowledge and experience about crypto from the forum.

Yes, I think crypto forums are indeed part of social networks. We can interact in many ways here. We can talk about crypto, share ideas, and e-meet others with similar interests. That’s why it’s like a social network.

With the changes made to this forum, we welcome the change although it is a good point receiving the latest news here is convenient. We can open threads, where people give their opinions, and there are deeper conversations made regarding the existence of the crypto world. Though this is a forum, it has grown to be an informative platform not only to know more about crypto currencies, but also gain diverse understandings from members.

From what I have read on some articles the Xenforo forum script is forcing users to enable 2fa to forums using their forums. This is the reason why some forums are already requiring 2fa which is quite odd because this can be censored just like the social media sites we are using.
You can just post and still be anonymous in forums one day if Simple Machines are going to mandate this requirement to its users.

In other words, crypto forums like this one is considered a social media site?
Well I still don’t consider it as a social media - it doesn’t look anything like the modern social media platform or typical social media platforms, it’s true that they are both being used in similar ways (with some differences between them).
In terms of structures and the way information are being presented we can already see some differences between the both of them.
I also say that forums are not social media, because forums provide more information and discussion, not a place to share all things, which are sometimes useless, only aimed at showing off achievements or flexing, nothing more.

we just look at it in terms of features and uses are very different, in the forum there are only topics for discussion, even in the forum it is not free to send private messages to someone because the forum has its own rules which are different from social media.. people who say that this forum is the same as social media, I suggest they should be careful and check again whether their opinion is correct or wrong.

everyone has their own opinion, and I think in the forum we can discuss more completely and in detail. if you say that the forum is not social media, it depends on who says it because for me the forum can be a social media because we can get information here and find new friends in the forum even though as you said we have limitations to send messages to other users.

The forum is also a communication tool to continue discussing crypto so I am also sure that the forum is a good enough place so that I am also very comfortable in the altcoinstalks forum to continue learning crypto.
All forums must also have applicable rules, besides having extensive experience in the latest technology, the forum also provides the freedom to communicate with various members around the world. I also feel that Altcoinstalks is very friendly to discuss with all members and the crypto forum is also a social network and I agree.

When a forum script like Xenforo asked the admins that had been using their script to mandate users of 2fa, the users reacted in disgust to the admin. But then form the invested users who have been making business and wanted to belong to a community, they just comply to it.
But some users may really stop using the forum due to the violation of privacy.
Should the members be spammed and will their phones receive warnings if their post are political?

you are right forum as a means of communication and can discuss with many members so that we gain knowledge and experience so that we can invest well. because in investing knowledge is needed and in the forum we can get it all.
I also get crypto knowledge from the forum and until now still survive here.

Actually, social media is also good for learning crypto, but as far as I know, it is not as complete as in forums because forums always explain in detail about the crypto that was created. Maybe my view for social media like IG and X is to explain about crypto only in outline. While in the forum there is a lot of knowledge about crypto, even to the details for this crypto so that I and you also understand more about crypto in forums than on social media.
I also get crypto knowledge from the forum and until now still survive here.
Seeing you present in altcoinstalks since 2018 I really admire your integrity to be present in the altcoins forum. 2018 is not a short time and I respect you as a highly dedicated member in altcoinstalks and continue to seek knowledge about crypto in this forum.

I think for the fact that we are commenting and communicating through this platform and learning new things, not just only learning but meeting with new people from different walks of life, I think we can say it's a medium of communication and information dissemination because we learn new things here which makes it a media.
The only difference is that this platform users operates anonymously and nobody knows each other here except the fact that we have local board which we meet with our locals to discuss things further but don't know each other and another thing is that unlike others were you can upload pictures of yourself, one can not do that here as to maintain their privacy and remain unknown. This is what I can say is the little difference between this platform and others but all the same, communication still takes place on both platforms and information is disseminated to the masses..

Crypto forum is a great place to communicate and share information here even though only as anonymous where we do not know each other in the real world because of the distance. Friends here may start to meet and get close to their fellow countrymen, but with friends from other countries they only communicate online because they are separated by distance.

Yes indeed, this is similar to the function of a social network, but here it is more anonymous and indeed anonymous, it should be. It's just that, compared to other social media, the discussion in this forum is more towards the measured and serious, and not for random complaints and challenges like those in other social networks. Many discussions and interactions are always right on target, on topic, and directed. can't just be arbitrary and careless. but even so, there is a strong bond that can be established between members in this forum, who have the same view of cryptocurrency, who love crypto, and over time love crypto more and more with all its conditions.

This is a place where we can learn from in several crypto forums where if we learn to broaden the experiences of others, those we do not come across in our day to day realities. This interaction not only enriches us but it also enables to have deep understanding of the factors that impact the crypto space around the globe. Hence while communication is done through the internet results achieved are real and have substantial value.
Conversely, distance does not downgrade the nature of debate possible between people or lower the level of polylog exposing some people to others. On the contrary, the different backgrounds make the color of conversation, which is a special richness for the society. These relationships can also be used to expand on a list of connexions even if the relationship is limited to online. This way keen visitors can contribute towards the growth of the forum and the interaction must be mutually beneficial to everyone on the forum.

Although it may not be important for some of us at all whether the forums should be considered a social media or not. The question to most probably should be answered is is submitting docs a fine idea?
To make it clear is that if forums like this one is considered a social media, are you okay if the admin will ask your phone number and perhaps kyc docs?

Social media for hobbyist and enthusiasts where they stay in a specific niche where they are interested in. I started interacting with forums way back I think 2012 or 2013 and that really helps me a lot of ideas about anything. I find new friends and started to share anything I know when I was once a phreaker but that came to an end when I discover Bitcointalk and later on Altcointalks when I started get interested in cryptocurrency. Forums are quite cool to me and very informative of course.

Yes participating in crypto forums is great way to learn from people with different views and experiences worldwide. This helps us understand global crypto trends better. By the way we interact online knowledge gained is real and valuable. Distance does not limit discussions instead of this it adds diverse perspectives and broadening our understanding. These online connections can open our networks and mutual growth benefiting individuals and community. With sharing knowledge and engaging in meaningful conversations we create good and informative space where everyone benefits.

You are right, friends sometimes meet here on the events of seminars and crypto gathering in most cases as a result of their further discussion on such events. As it is now that the year is coming to an end, some locals I believe would already be planning to do a get together gathering to wind up the year and also share some of their offline forum experience with each other during the year. This is as a result of the avenue through which they have met on this platform and are of the same locals. To some point, some internationals might even fly down to hookup with their platform friends (those who loves such events and can afford to carter for such expenses) if they get the information.

This forum is more of educative content and productivity unlike other social media platform so the topic, discussion and comments are always educational and of good perspective and drive. I have seen some threads that are very focused and with constructive criticism and contributions in favor and also in opposition but all are still in the realm of educating the members who read and also comment on those threads. I have also learnt a lot from both sides of posts and it has made me been able to be able to look into topics with views from different dimensions and understanding.
This also attracts people to ones thread who always engage in conversations with good insights and is knowledgeable enough to further engage other members in discussion on their thread to topic more revealing and on point making friends and discussion groups here compared to other social media platforms.

I have being readying news and also been using many social media networks such as Twitter Facebook, Instagram, YouTube etc, but I have not heard about the crypto forums like Altcointalks, Bitcointalk, Bitcoingardin, cryptalk forums as part of the social media platforms. Could it be that these forums are separated or that they are been described as other networks not directly to be called a social networks?
I need your thoughts on where all these forums can be classified.
I think socialization has the characteristics of people relating with one another either through texts, videos or dialogue.
On the part of classification, the forum has all the features of a social network but it is more organized in terms of regulation and moderation.
Though it is mostly attached to cryptocurrency discussion, but there are also threads for different countries discussion, both beginners thread and all it comprises.
Highly attached with passing information, knowledge and helpful discussions, this is a perfect feature of socialization.
So, in the case of a social network, it could be classified as one because it has the features of socialization.
But in terms of social media, it is clear that most social medias don't moderate the kind of information/post users make on their platforms. You are likely to meet scams, lies, fake post/comments from users and these social medias are diversified.
They don't focus on a particular aspect like this forum.
