Yes, you would be surprized how many people I've met that have invested big in Bitcoin and other Cryptos and when I mention if they have a Bitcointalk account they are like "What is bitcointalk"? Bitcointalk is a very good source for anything crypto and gambling related however for some reason people who are new to crypto never seem to be able to find it.
For people in that group, they mostly know about crypto through their family members, relatives, friends, or from Ponzi promotions. They fall in greedy mood, without knowledge at the beginnings and don't care to learn about crypto. They just only want to get profits, as much profits as possible in the fastest rate.
There is also people who got into bitcoin thanks to mainstream media that talked about it and they have social media that talks about bitcoin as well. For example, many people in nations have local chatboards like bitcointalk but for everything and there is a special crypto place there. Reddit is one of the biggest boards in all over the world and there is crypto related subreddits there, there is national or regional websites like that instead of global as well.
So, nobody needs to be here anymore, this place is getting old and I am scared it will not have the power it has now and it doesn't have the power it had 5 years ago today so it is declining. Bitcointalk is not a place that does marketing, people find this place themselves and that is why getting new users here is challenging, the ones that create a new account is mostly the old people that start another account.
