Title: Reliable Bitcoin/Altcoin news resources
Post by: Weezard on February 11, 2018, 04:08:07 PM
Hi all!

I'm just started out a couple of months ago mining Altcoins and trading Bitcoins. I'm still small, but with hunger to grow.

I've been looking for respectable & frequently-updated news source for all crypto and Bitcoin related. It seems there is a lot of info out there, but also a lot of FUD, scams and fake news. I am currently only looking at Cryptonews.com, CCN, CoinTelegraph, and your very own Bitcointalk.

Am I missing any major outlets (or should I drop any of these? maybe Cryptonews)? Where are you getting your crypto news from?

Thanks!

Reddit is probably the best where you will find less FUD as there is the up/down votes system. Subscribe to the official sub reddits of the coins that you're interesting in (e.g /r/Bitcoin, Litecoin etc.) because people usually link the most important news there.

Most coins will have a subreddit where development news is posted.

You could also take a look at the following subs:

https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/

Which have news about trading, markets, scams etc.

Also, Google is your friend. Type in the name of the coin you are looking at + scam into google and see what comes up. When people are unhappy they write about it with scam in the title. Read all the complaints. Sometimes it's down to teh user, but often it's down to teh developers. And of course ask questions about stuff you arn't sure about

Agree with the other Poster. Reddit is great since people post information that they believe is important. News that is not important is immediately down voted so as to ensure the quality of postings. You can also find specific news on subreddits such as r/litecoin, r/ethereum, r/bitcoin or you can look at a more general subreddit such as r/cryptocurrency.
