Happy anniversary BTCT!

I wonder what was in topics 1 through 4 and posts 1 through 27.

Happy Anniversary Bitcointalk.

I wish I could join here earlier before investing in cryptocurrency. I would not face such kinda loss. I have learned a lot and still learning. I never had familiarized with a lot of things regarding crypto investment before joining the forum.

Happy birthday!!
I actually would be lying if I said I didn't wish I joined much earlier than I did,but I guess it's better late than never...
Really this forum despite all the dark sides(Ico's,spam,scam etc) ,happens to be one very wonderful community to discuss and exchange ideas,it definitely can't be as it was in the past,but honestly it could be better in the future..

It's amazing sharing ideas and information with individuals from different parts of the world,you may never get to see(this forum unites the cryptocurrency world)

Happy birthday once again

I definitely feel these 2 statements really sum things up nicely. The forum definitely comes with that free enterprise feel, where you can do as you please with very few limitations as far a I'm concerned. Up to and including flat out scams and abuses.
It also allows you the ability to be a fully functioning positive contribution in any way you feel. You can shop, find partners or build a business should that fit with what you want. On the other hand you can just show up and have a discussion or read, or investigate every shady thing you come across; or on the flipside ignore entire sections or people. It takes some getting used to but it's not impossible to adapt and find a place here.

It's going to be interesting to see how the forum grows alongside BTC and crypto in general moving forward; maybe celebrate 10 years with New forum software. I'm whispering


I'm sure a lot of users do, most of them though only wish they could have beaten the merit system... no vision unfortunately.


As long as it doesn't bring that stupid facebook forum home one day for supper... I swear I saw it eating glue.

It was arguing in a civilized way that many innovations were implanted and or created. I'm sure this forum was very important in the development of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Unlike most social media, a forum is a place of debate, not only to speech. And this leads to the clash between different ideas. It is curious how Satoshi preferred to participate in places that provided debate and allowed more people to contribute to the project he created.

He could just post on the site, offering updates so the project would follow only his vision. Satoshi wanted Bitcoin to belong to everyone. Decentralized. And for this happen, places like this need to remain relevant.

Dammit! I got here too late!

@theymos, I think you should send an encrypted pm with the name .

Isn’t 1 also always the horrible, “welcome to smf” topic/post. I’m surprised it wasn’t just deleted unless theymos did some fancy stuff woth the database.

I can say it has improved since 2015. Although everyone doing signature campaigns then as newbies are now newbies doing bounty spam so...

@mprep, wow, I’ve nearly been here half as long as you. That does surprise me .

They grow up so fast.
And the forum has evolved and revolved fur ng the nine years that it has been up.
Inspite of the supposed decline in quality and advent of scams and spams, I still feel bitcointalk is on its original path it was set in by Satoshi.

The mods and admins are doing a good job to maintain the sanity on the forum and control the excesses which comes with unprecedented growth.
Today, or yesterday I believe should be set aside as a day to acknowledge the staff, merit sources, donators, (and future report busters) for their effort in keeping this forum running.

Bitcointalk forum is something that many people take seriously in discussing things about Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, economics etc., Some people are even willing to spend a lot of ideas, suggestions and criticisms that are useful for other members, for the future hopefully Bitcointalk canissuing clean thoughts and hearts, common sense and full of maturity.happy 9th bitcointalk birthday.

Be lated , happy bday to this community. Being a part of this forum for 3 years is just one of my awesome experience being a part of the early adopters of bitcoin in my country with the knowledge that i have coming from here really gave some of my colleagues an idea of how crypto works.

Spread the coin and cheers!
