I joined the forum to help support Roger's new endeavor. I admire all the things he has done and continues to do for liberty, Bitcoin and all of the people that both will someday set free. It is unlikely that I would be as involved in Bitcoin or ever have read Rothbard if not for Roger's public honey-badger-ness in regards to both. Each has been personally enriching and life changing in different and positive ways.

I am not a frequent poster online but I do believe that the more venues we have to discuss things, the better. This forum has a much cleaner look than bitcointalk and will hopefully be an accepting, educational and friendly landing point for both the experienced and noobs alike.

He is a compassionate fella' and I wish him the best of luck on this and all future projects.

Keep touching lives Roger

It's posts like this that make me feel like everything has been worth it.
It nearly brings tears to my eyes to hear that other people have read Rothbard, and that it was in part, due to my recommendation. Once those ideas have been heard, one can never see the world the same way again.
Thank you so much GreenBanana, together we are building a better world!

Well that certainly makes me happy to hear! I'm glad I overcame my reluctance to post things online and told you. I know there is sometimes a lot of noise so hopefully I added a bit of signal

You are right, those ideas can not be "unheard" and I completely agree that we are building a better world. I personally feel that you are part of that foundation so yes, as far as I am concerned, it has all been worth it!

Theymos is a dick for trying to manipulate the community with censorship. It is outrageous - yet no one seems to care much. At least Roger Ver realized the importance and built this alternative. I hope it gains critical mass soon. Best of luck.

Maybe i would not use the word "dick" but he is too young and that project grew over his head. he is controlling the 2 main news sources which is really bad for bitcoin. the network effect is hard to overcome, so iam glad that there is an alernative now : bitcoin.com!

I want to have the two versions of the same history.

I don't know if this is going to become the forum of XT, anyway, I want to reserve a seat

zju · Fri Oct 02, 2015 8:22 pm

As with most polls, there are not enough options.

I'm here not out of loyalty or disloyalty, but simply because it is another source of information.

Bitcointalk has been overrun by newbies posting stupid shit simply to get paid a few pennies by signature campaigns. I hope that doesn't happen here.

psztorc · Fri Oct 02, 2015 11:14 pm

Both bitcointalk.org and /r/bitcoin have entered a state of uselessness. Why exactly that happened, is anyone's guess...my guess just that Talking is just hard to scale.

Anyway, soon there will be a new Meeting Place and this may as well be it.

There is a crazy amount of Pearls before Swine in the BTC community.

BlueSquirrel · Mon Oct 05, 2015 12:11 am

I came because when I first learned about bitcoin I enjoyed lurking (and sometimes posting) on Reddit's bitcoin thread. . . but the last couple months the quality has become abysmal.

I've also really appreciated the videos I've seen of Roger Ver, his optimism, and his philosophy of volunteerism.

I use bitcoin to buy coffee, transmit money between countries (often with a negative remittance fee) and buying cheap things off Amazon. .and have tried to get all my friends and family to use it. I can't wait till it takes off and the world becomes a better place because of it.

tokeweed · Mon Oct 05, 2015 7:04 am

I'm a member of bitcointalk.org. So I figure I'll be a member of this one as well.

Forums are a good source of info and learning if used well. It's sad that some people use it to troll or spread FUD most of the time. I admit I am guilty of doing that at times (the trolling for the lulz, I never spread FUD). But to my defense I troll the trolls, or the people I have seen troll or spread FUD.

Anyway, I hope I could behave more over here and I'd love to share and receive more insights on the cryptocurrency scene from you guys.

Peace.

Because of Theymos and whats going on on reddit is: DISGUSTING and shows what low lifes some people are... Censorship is never a solution...

Well, I do still have link to assign on The Google+ Bitcoin Community and I could certainly help. That is for sure.

I will give a try for sure. As you may know I was interested in a good forum that was not BitcoinTalk. Forum.Bitcoin.com is the very best bet yet for sure.

I just want to thank everyone for coming.
I follow this thread closely even though I don't post specific welcome messages to each new user.

The more incoming links you all can post, the better this forum will become, so please help out!

We are off to a great start though.
It looks like we will have 1000 registered users, and 2500+ posts by some time next week.
Not bad for only having launched about 2 weeks ago!

Thank you all for participating!

I am here because I want to be a part of the solution. I want to see a union of meshnets and crypto, and I think I can help. I am no math genius or tech wizard, but I can copy and paste

Actually, this article has a lot to do with my recent flurry of activity. We have to be the change we want to see.

Thank you Roger, for this outlet.

Bitcoin is the first positive development, since the internet, in the struggle against mankind's two enemies: the state and the central bank.

I came to learn, and know that here I'm likely to encounter others who share that view.

pathi · Tue Oct 13, 2015 3:10 pm

Just trying to avoid the spam and trolls on bitcointalk.org. I see there are discussions on signature campaigns here. I really hope that does not become reality here.
