I was about to make a post on Bitcointalk about Satoshi Dashboard #1451630, since it received a really good response here. I figured the community there would probably find it interesting as well.
But when I visited the site… it looks like it has changed.
Is this some kind of joke, or did they actually make this shift?
According to the message shown:
“Announcing a shift in direction: given the immense popularity of stablecoins, we will now be focusing on US dollars instead of Bitcoin.”
Honestly, this caught me off guard. We’re talking about a historic website within the Bitcoin ecosystem…
I really hope it’s a joke, but if it’s not, does anyone recommend a forum focused purely on Bitcoin where it would be worth sharing the project?
April Fools?!!!
Since we’re at it, I might as well use this post to ask for good forum recommendations :v do you recommend any?
Yes. I'm very partial to Stacker News😀
Seriously, I am only on here. Maybe nostr once in a while. I have never used x or twitter or whatever
SN is a really great site I honestly think it’s one of the best :v In terms of UX/UI and everything else, it genuinely surprises me that they’re not more well-known. I actually discovered it through a job post looking for writers to earn sats. Kind of an unusual job offer, but in the end I didn’t stick around as a writer I stayed as a user because the site is just that good.
I also don't know why SN is having trouble growing.
Part of it is certainly a chicken-and-egg problem. If you aren't a large platform, the influencers don't have a reason to be on it.
It also doesn't really optimize for short attention spans and doom-scrolling. That probably weeds out a good portion of the population.
Haha, that makes me think that people who understand BTC aren’t really into doom-scrolling :v but you’re right about what you said… maybe someone well-known could shed some light on it. @Car, if I’m not mistaken, you might know about this topic. (By the way, taking the chance to say hi, Car how have you been? And also to ask what happened to the Builders territory you used to manage on SN.)
ohhh that’s true…. 😅 well, you found an innocent one 😅 it really shows I’m a bit disconnected from all that… and well, also because I’m not from the USA in my country it’s on a different date.
I'm just assuming. I usually get fooled at least once on the first of April.
Look no further – you’ve found it. SN is undoubtedly the best forum dedicated primarily to Bitcoin.
