It can't be a social network, you can't connect through Bitcoin, only use it as a currency or an asset. Or a social network, all that stuff is built around BTC, like this forum, but you can't call BTC that.

The concept behind the use of p2p is beyond just an ordinary social networking, its to create an interpersonal platform whereby there will be a direct sell and buy between two parties without the influence of a third party, this talks more about financial privacy instead, if you understand well why bitcoin is decentralized, then you will get the idea behind the use of p2p more clearly than just assuming it to be social networking, the concept behind social network does not covers for privacy and its centralized which totally go against what bitcoin provides.

I do not think it’s a social platform first of all.

Some people just transact with another, sending or receiving money, but does not do more than that. Sometimes they do not even know each other’s names. And if you think about it… that is what makes bitcoin so unique.

You don’t have to make an account or verify your identity in order to send money or receive money, but I wouldn’t exactly call it a social network nor a social media platform mainly as aside from money there is not much else shared.

Our community on the other hand can be considered as a social network like this one.

Bitcoin cannot be compared to social media or social networks. It is a digital currency.  And it's built for payment solutions.  And one of its advantages is that it can be transacted in a completely anonymous way. can you use social media anonymously?  Or any social media payment solutions? so how can Alani Bitcoin compare to any social media or social network? bitcoin is bitcoin it can't be comparison with anything

I think some similarities in how they work aren't enough to consider them social, but I also don't want to deny that they aren't. The fact that I know bitcoin is bitcoin, and the way we associate it with so many different things demonstrates its unlimited uses.

A few days ago I asked a friend about the fact that in the future, people will not discuss its physical value, but the information surrounding it will be valuable.

Bitcoin was intended to be peer-to-peer digital cash.

Hmm That's dope! 
You brought up an excellent topic to discuss. I really appreciate your thoughts.
 
My position in opening this topic is that it is not appropriate, in my opinion to compare Bitcoin to a social network or media. Yes, it is absolutely right that both Bitcoin and Sociak networks have the same characteristics like In these networks, two people are connected to each other and communicate with each other but the concept of Bitcoin is slightly different because of the Blockchain. Bitcoin adopts an anonymous track, no one has to do KYC identification, and the two suspects are not known, like who they are, where they are from, etc. While on a social network or social media, each other is known, no one works under an anonymous title, there all users can be tracked, including who they are, where they are from, etc. And this is what makes Bitcoin the most prominent show in the world of finance.

It is not social platform as you have said but OP didn't mention social platform at all. The title said if bitcoin is a social network or social media and my answer will be neither of it. The reason why is because bitcoin is a type of currency that people can manage and also we cannot use blockchain to communicate with others that's why we need a social platform or a forum for example so that people can interact or send messages to each other for transactions or an exchange for example. If bitcoin is really a social media then we could have use it to post or whatever it is like facebook and more. If bitcoin is social network then it wouldn't be used as a payment and Satoshi Nakamoto wrote it in the Bitcoin whitepaper that it is Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.

The first three are the same things, it's just synonyms. And Bitcoin has none of those properties. Users are not connecting to each other, their nodes do and they do it passively and it all abstracted away from most users, and almost all Bitcoiners don't look to which nodes their node is connected, because it happens automatically.

Bitcoin is a network, but users don't do any networking,g they simply send funds from A to B, and the software handles all the network routing for them.

Some of the crucial traits of social networks are allowing to communicate, share information, connect, form relationships. If we use the term social media, we're focusing on sharing information and ideas on a platform.
Bitcoin isn't built in such a way. We don't normally use Bitcoin to share texts or photos, we can't befriend people on blockchain, and we're not really communicating with Bitcoin. I'm not saying that it's impossible, but I'm saying that it's not what it's for, and it's not something easy to do.
One could argue that Bitcointalk as a forum has traits of social networking, but that's a very different matter.
