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

[luckyledger]

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Yeah, if the govs say it - it's going to happen

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.

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.
