Crypto forums are part of social networks, is this correct?

[Fivestar4everMVP]

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.

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

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.

[348Judah]

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.
