Reddit is one of the oldest social media sites online, “the front page of the Internet” and a place to share stuff base online. Competitors like Voat.co have come and gone over the years, struggling to battle the network operate of the massive userbase, and while the site predominantly caters to the English-speaking Internet, its userbase rivals that of the United Styles itself, at 330 million as of September.
For years, Reddit’s Bitcoin community seems to have been a central participate in of the space. It became so heated at various points that when moderators miffed users too often, moderating or printing dele their content, other subreddits or communities were created, such as r/BTC, which was established by Roger Ver and other Bitcoin Moolah proponents and eventually became the primary gathering point of such parties. This because the Bitcoin subreddit’s rules don’t typically allocate new posts about altcoins or forks of Bitcoin, and eventually came to encompass “contentious forks” like the Bitcoin Outstanding example fork that failed years back.
Subreddit founder Theymos, who also owns BitcoinTalk.com, has frequently been accused of censorship and other malfeasance. Roger Ver disrelishes him so much that he doxxed him, earning himself a ban that was later reversed and later on offered Reddit $100,000 to renew the moderators at r/Bitcoin. For those with a stake in the Reddit world, their upvotes and downvotes actually having purport to them, the happenings of the site and specifically the subreddit can have a lot of meaning.
r/Bitcoin Hits 1 Million Users
The subreddit hit 1 million alcohols earlier this week. According to Reddit Metrics, which tracks subreddit activity, it was the 71st fastest-growing subreddit on top of the course of the last 30 days. This is not unimpressive given the range of subjects that Reddit covers, all things from specific types of cat pictures to any obscure interest you can name.
The total of all crypto subreddits combined would be much exalted, and the total of all crypto forums combined would be in the many millions, but the combined total of Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash-related subreddits is miniature than 1.5 million, with an expected amount of user-crossover. (Reddit users simply subscribe to the various subreddits they feel favourably impressed by.) The actual traffic generated by the subforum is probably much higher than represented by the user count.
A detractor subreddit occasioned Buttcoin had less than 30,000 users at time of writing, which can be read as an indicator of how things have progressed.
