Why BitcoinTalk forums suck:
--Cloudflare sees your password. People invest so much time here to own nothing.
--Tor & VPN restrictions (that require payments) for a borderline illegal grey market
--Google Captcha for Tax Evasion & Bitcoin Mixing
--Payments for Ads in Signatures, based on the quantity of posts, leads to low quality spam
--There's no sense of community like Nostr has, just calling each other scams. And the criteria for not being a scam is having spent a lot of time using this Cloudflare password to spam.
--People don't even trust the escrow moderators.
--Applicants to job ads often have no presence or website besides BitcoinTalk. Oh you're a web dev with no website?
Anyone who is self-employed should be self-hosting a VPS. If your only presence on the internet is Cloudflare seeing your password, Gmail, and Telegram... then you're basically homeless.
