Bitcointalk is the most popular online forum dedicated to Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.

What Is Bitcointalk?

Today, Bitcointalk is one of the largest online forums where people can ask questions and discuss topics related to Bitcoin, blockchain technology and cryptocurrency in general. The forum was created by the infamous inventor of Bitcoin itself — Satoshi Nakamoto, in November 2009.

Like most online forums, Bitcointalk allows users to create a profile and start posting to different threads and subthreads inside the forum. The forum’s main purpose is to create a community of people interested in Bitcoin and blockchain technology. Forum users can post questions and discussion topics, which are then debated at length by other community members.

There are thousands of different threads available on Bitcointalk, and they cover a wide variety of topics. You can find information about how Bitcoin works, how the blockchain behind the cryptocurrency operates, and how to get started with mining Bitcoin. 

The story behind Bitcointalk is almost as mysterious as the one behind Bitcoin itself. Initially, Satoshi Nakamoto was using a SourceForge forum to post about Bitcoin and discuss the technology. However, this forum is now lost. In order to provide a space for such discussions to continue thriving, user Sirius provided hosting for a new forum where Satoshi could continue posting. However, as Nakamoto gradually withdrew from the public space, Sirius decided to move the forum to its present address and announce it is a strictly unofficial Bitcoin discussion forum. 

Despite the mysterious beginning, Bitcointalk users now comprise the largest Bitcoin and cryptocurrency online community. The forum has expanded beyond simply discussing Bitcoin, and there are now threads covering some of the major altcoins and stablecoins available on the market. One of the reasons why Bitcointalk became so big is the diversity of languages supported on the forum. Anyone can start a thread in any language, which has attracted users from all over the world. Another great feature of Bitcointalk is the ability to easily search through the whole database of topics and discussion entries. The search feature allows users to find the information they are looking for easily, and if it is not available, they can swiftly create a new thread where other users can discuss.

Bitcointalk is one of the most important resources for people interested in learning more about crypto, consensus mechanisms, mining and blockchain technology. As one of the oldest forums for crypto talk, it has the richest library of topics and discussions.
