Other Reason: More genuine threads

On the other forum there's a lot of repetitive talk. There are threads with fluff topics that are responded repetitively for years or the threads aren't worthy of actual discussion.

I haven't experienced any censorship but I'd love to know what others have experienced.

And the signature campaign policing is out of control on that other forum. If you're in a signature campaign and someone is offended by what you say and they complain you're at risk of getting kicked out of the campaign. It's ridiculous. And at the same time it's within that forum's rules to call someone derogatory names or use insulting talk.

There's a mob mentality among the most senior of participants on the other forum, if you disagree with them they either call you out, ostracize you, or blacklist you.

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.

Glad to have you here Kate!

I'm here because of the censorship on other forums, and because OKcoin reneged on their contract to run Bitcoin.com
I'm sure the current Bitcoin.com team is doing a much better job than OKcoin would have though....

I started loving crypto currency by the end of 2015 and since then I wanted to be a part of the game changer and like to spread the news everywhere. Getting info is also gaining knowledge. Some people do come with their own rules but knowledge is knowledge even if it's little.

Bitcoin got onto my radar via Jeffrey Tucker, of whom I'm a big fan. I tweeted about it during it's run-up before the Mt. Gox crash and didn't have a high opinion of it after that.

But Jeffrey kept talking about it and writing articles about it, so when the price started recovering from $250, I finally bought in at about $400. I held that for a while, thinking it was a good-enough investment, but then it started REALLY rising and I began buying more. At that point I started following a ton of Bitcoin related accounts on Twitter and one of them, not sure which, kept referring to the bitcoin price using the chart at price.bitcoin.com. So that was my entry point to this site. I'd never heard of bitcointalk nor visited bitcoin.org. I didn't even have a reddit account until a couple weeks ago!

When I first heard of the cloud mining plans being offered by Bitcoin.com's pool, my first thought was: "Hey, my coins are sitting doing nothing. This is probably a great way to put them to work and earn some interest!"

But my next thought was: "Nowhere does the pool.bitcoin.com site guarantee any positive return on investment, so do these plans actually pay out more BTC than they cost?" And from there I built my little calculator, discovered that the 6-month plan was the best deal at the time and bought one. After that, I thought that other people could benefit from using the tool as well, so I cleaned it up and posted it here.

This forum is the first Bitcoin-focused community I found a home in, so thanks! I hope it keeps growing. :)

What a great introduction Greywyvren!
I actually found Jeffrey Tucker through my involvement in Bitcoin, and am now a big fan of his as well.
We are super glad to have you be such an active part of our community here, and everyone loves your calculator too!

Just SICK of censorship on /r/bitcoin and bitcointalk. Theymos scammed community out of donations and never fixed up the forum. Hate when people try to manipulate with you and censor you.

I registered here because I want to know and learn more and more about Bitcoin. I first heard about cryptocurrency while my lecture classes and now I’m looking everywhere for more information about Bitcoin world. I came here to learn, and I think that forums are the best places to get a lot of information about it 
