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

[libert19]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
