i learned a lot about satoshi during my time on the forum, and i doubt anyone like him will ever come along again. and i believe theymos is a leader who, without satoshi, preserves the environment satoshi created and makes the right decisions.



i doubt anyone in the internet world could be more of a “ninja” than him. i've had a few minor quotes with him myself, and honestly, no one else comes to me as a ninja of this forum.


i choose jayjuangee again on this matter. i believe he deserves this title based solely on what he has written about bitcoin in his own topics.


i think this event, created by our moderator EFS, was one of the best projects of the year. we started out just making predictions, but then turned it into a competition with prizes, and i would like to thank everyone who supported us. it provides a suitable environment for discussing ideas about bitcoin in our local section. we do a new one every month.



among the projects on the forum, i actively use these two, and they are quite useful for my work. thanks to all the developers!


he has some really interesting ideas, and i see he's involved with the forum. i think he's this year's discovery.



he is very helpful to beginners in our local section regarding bitcoin, and i am sure i can reach him when i need help even with something else.


i've been working with him for over a year, and i haven't had a single bad experience. he's someone who does his job well.


EFS: for many years, he has been quietly and fairly moderating our local section, and i believe he is the perfect person for the role of full moderator. he is someone who is open, clear, and understands what the turkish section wants.

mandown: in addition to being the most active contributor in our local section this year, they are interested in all kinds of topics and are someone whose original posts i enjoy reading.

Wake Up: as i mentioned in the help buster section, it's great to have someone like him in the local section who is helpful and humble. he also made a significant donation to the monthly price prediction contests; he's someone who really supports the local community.


she is someone who helps people in the meta and electrum sections, as well as in the nigeria locale.

- always present and always active, if I understand correctly from bpip.org also the most deserved ever. I don't use his tools, but they've been around practically forever.

- I don't know what it means to be a forum ninja, perhaps an invisible presence who helps you with links and material at the right time. Vote for him.

- I think he's the best organizer on the forum; his contests are practically legendary.

- I think Pizza Day is the most beloved event, where everyone gets behind the stove to create fantastic pizzas.

- There are conflicting opinions about it, but creating the algorithm requires a lot of effort, so it deserves the nomination.

- Reflecting

- Reflecting

- Reflecting

- I nominate him as my local hero, with his countless explanations of how DeFi and other strange protocols, including Layer 2, work.

- Reflecting

needless to say he is the best manager and admin of all, he does an exceptional job to make this place a nice place full of interesting things and above all in order





I have to say that I always have fun during this competition and I think it is very challenging because it is not easy to make an excellent pizza that everyone will like.




for me *Ace* this year has been a wonderful discovery, I have to say that it was surprising how a user can be so committed to the community in such a short time




He's great, he always puts a lot of effort into this forum to create crazy things, well done


for the Italian section it is incredible how fundamental a character like this can be, a great

These would probably be the best options for Hero of Good. Satoshi and Hal, in particular, are pioneers in this field. The forum's hero, however, is Theymos. He still makes significant contributions that keep the forum alive.




The Turkish Bitcoin prediction contest that I started with @EFS has been quite popular in Turkey. Perhaps the best thing this forum has given us is friendship. Also, participating in the prediction contest creates excitement for the closing price at the end of the month. I'm happy to have won this prize once before. I will continue to donations every month as much as I can. I can say this has been the best event of the year for me.

Also, thanks to the "100 push-ups per day" activity, I lost ~ 12 kg in 100 days. So I can say that this activity was also very good.




Speaking specifically about @EFS, I know he's doing everything he can to keep the Forum active in Turkey and that he's someone who enjoys helping out on the forum.



These are the most active and best members of the Turkish section. You can be sure they are reliable and helpful. They will assist you if you are stuck on anything.

Since theymos has been around for 16 years, I can only imagine how much work he has done as the forum admin. I assume that he constantly deals with several issues over the years, like for example the mixer restrictions and the usage of AI in the forum.

LoyceV can easily be nominated for multiple categories, which shows just how much of an impact he has in the forum. He has created a lot of useful topics; some of which he still updates until now. The same can be said for DdmrDdmr, and his most recent merit spree just proves his omnipresent activity.

These users are among the top merit earners in the Tech Support board last year. They are always helping other members with their Bitcoin-related inquiries, providing clear information and concise explanations. There's a lot of knowledgeable users in the forum, but I think they are the ones who perfectly fit the Bitcoin Geek description.

I haven't experienced joining most of the events. So far, I like BCA the most. I think it's a great way to recognize, and show appreciation to the valuable members of the community.

I have used Ninjastic.space before, and it just got even better after it has migrated to BitList last December. It's a really great website with lots of additional useful features. TalkImg on the other hand, had over 83,000 images uploaded in 2025. This volume represents just how useful it is to the community.

This user stood out in both good and bad ways. He has great Bitcoin knowledge (his merit page says it all), but some of his remarks doesn't sit well with the community, along with his use of the trust system.

They spend a lot of time and effort doing voluntary work. AakZaki has been on fire in exposing campaign cheaters lately, albon is active in reporting and warning users against various scams, and Ultegra134 is always on the lookout for AI spammers.

PowerGlove has made a lot of contribution to improve the forum's security and functionality. I'd like to show my appreciation for the work he does behind the scenes. I also admire his way of thinking, and at the same time, his posts are always a pleasure to read. As for TryNinja, I was amazed by how quick he was able to make a userscript for my idea, so that users can easily copy+highlight quotes from the forum. A lot of people also use his Telegram Notification Bot, which is a very useful tool.

Trusted and reputable forum members from the Filipino community, these are the users that I look up to. I really admire their knowledge, and they inspire me to learn more and make my own contributions.

When I was still a newbie, I thought that she was strict, but I eventually understood why. She was still pretty understanding though, and she even sent my first merit.

Alright, let's join this popularity contest for the first time.

Always helpful Admins.

First one, 100 Push-Ups Per Day thread is still legendary.
Second one, the most active poster. You can benefit from his wisdom.

They make important contributions to the forum.

Every month, an average of 24 members compete to find the closest monthly closing price. It has been running successfully since May 2025.

Nothing comes to my mind right now.

Maybe fill that later.
 
Opened helpful threads in the Turkish Beginners & Help section.

He works tirelessly on merit distribution and helps the system run smoothly.
   
First one for the helpful threads he has opened in the Turkish Beginners & Help section.
Second one as being the rising star almost in every part of the local forum.
Third one for being a new merit source, very helpful in distribution.
 
For the valuable contributions to Bitcoin and the forum.

‎‎These people are the reason the forum is still functioning and I love the way they handle issues and take decision(s). Theymos sometimes also makes rules and put them in such a way that it won't discomfort anyone but rather make everyone to do the right thing and be careful not to go contrary.

‎‎I like the way these members rotate in the forum and enlighten both old and new members.
The kind of love JayJuanGee have for Bitcoin and how he try to make people understand this basic things and principles to go about is very interesting and commendable. He gives answers to questions in a way the least person will understand.
‎
‎‎I don't know how my journey into Bitcoin would have been without the help of JayJuanGee.  JayJuanGee is an inspiration and a motivation to me when It comes to Bitcoin investment and I would be a terrible lier if I said I have not made a bold step in Bitcoin investment regardless of the downtrend.
‎
‎‎Very interesting events. This Christmas new year contest is always interesting because one will see different kind of foods, the Ingredients and sometimes when you look at some of the food, you will feel like eating them but always sad when you realize you can not because it is just an image. And this pizza contest has also shapen me to learn how to make pizza though I'm not an expert but still learning to do better.
‎
‎‎
‎‎I love this dude level of knowledge and understanding, I mean he is an embodiment of wisdom but don't like the way he reacts to things at times but I would love to tap from his knowledge and this folk is so fluent in writing.
‎
‎‎Very cool folks.

‎‎If I'm to be a manager tomorrow, I will want to be like these folks, they are tolerant, reliable, accountable and very transparent. Hhampuz don't react based on what people said but rather he make sure to reflect on his rules before reacting.
‎
‎‎These are my role models and I appreciate their good works both in Naija board and some other board. Igebotz is a great moderator, the folk always take post(s) to where they belong so it doesn't mix up things.
‎
‎‎Very active members. One thing I like so much about Lovemayfamillies is how she finds out defaulters and sometimes I wonder the kind of techniques she use in dong that and i really commend  her about that because that actually a thing guys should be doing. Satoprincess is also an amazing personality and I kinda like her quietness and how she inspire local board...

This member is always trying to be fair and good towards other members.
We worked on different projects in last few years, and he was always respectful towards me.
I really like how he is managing campaigns and care about participants.


Ninja doing ninja things and improving forum experience with his projects.
I am really impressed with his coding skills, and I use many of his projects connected with bitcointalk daily.
He made my time in forum much better in last several years.


After many years he is still active in bitcointalk forum, and I see him posting in many bitcoin related topics.
I don't agree with him in everything, but I can always have a conversation with him about bitcoin, and I will get good answer.
He is so geeky that I think he would stay in forum for the rest of his life and talk about bitcoin.


Bitcointalk Pizza day is the best day every year, especially in bitcointalk forum with many members posting their pizzas.
Big respect to guys who are organizing this event for so many years, thanks to them I was really inspired, and I really live eating pizzas.


This is a very useful website I use all the time, and it received a big update from NinjasticSpace, with addition of additional new stuff.
Rebranding was done last year and new website can be slow at times but I hope this could be improved, maybe adding onion website as backup link.
There is no better project for me that Bitlist in forum.


I started noticing this member after he created interesting Bitcointalk BRDb score tool.
He showed that he can create a good project and I hope he continue improving this and make new forum projects.


This member was very active recently and help cleaning the forum from spam and cheaters.
I didn't count exact numbers, but I think thanks to him forum was cleaned from hundreds of cheaters with farms and multiple accounts.
Keep doing the good work.


Some of the best campaign managers in bitcointalk forum.
I really respect this managers and I had to add two of the guys from our local board, they are stepping up recently with some new interesting campaigns.
Hhampuz is legend and I don't have to speak much about him, he is top craft master.


First member came back in forum after several years, second member is most active local member, and third member contributed local board a lot.
I always like a good comeback stories, and I hope to see more members joining our local board.


Her account was hacked but she managed to recover it and come back.
I talked with her several times about hardware wallets and I know she is a genuine miss who can speak French

Reasoning:Their nicknames tell the whole story 🤷‍♂️

Reasoning: They are the three Ninjas, and the community is represented by D'Artagnan 🤔^{(It's an easy metaphor for me to write in Spanish, I hope it's understood in English)}

Reasoning: The first nickname has a double meaning for me, since I also have the opportunity to read it in Spanish. PowerGlove is a pretty concise guy who not only talks the talk, but puts it into practice with his contributions to forum improvements, and sometimes even entertainment (like playing poker) on the forum. 

Reasoning: These events bring the community together and allow us to get to know the diversity of users Local Boards.

Reasoning: These projects remind us that there are users who make extraordinary contributions to the community, helping us every day to do things better in our beloved SMF.

Reasoning: danadc is a regular contributor to our local forum; in 2025 he was one of the most prominent new members.
Hosemary is one of the most helpful users I've met recently. He's always willing to lend a hand and sees situations that other users ignore or simply overlook.

Reasoning: They make reading the forum more comfortable, even if it's not noticeable.

Reasoning: They are skill and creativity.


Reasoning:There are quite a few more heroes on our board local, but having already named some, they symbolize the resilience of the LE Board.
