Bitcoin Forum

Hey all! since the trends change and a new wave of traders is entering the crypto sphere I have a question;

Which platforms/social media/blogs/forums are you active on the most? I see that crypto Twitter is on the rise lately being very popular among traders.

I would basically just like to interact with others, share info, and see what others are posting. where to? Thanks!

Honestly, not a big deal on whatever platform you choose as long as it meets your set of criteria. After all, we have different preferences.

Twitter is not really on the rise lately. It's being used since then to promote any crypto-related service not just with trading.

If you are comfortable on that specific platform, then considered that as your "best place".

I'm mostly active in the forum and also do follow mainstream media on Facebook that has dedicated crypto pages. If you want to interact with others, you are the right and most known bitcoin forum.
Just post on the proper section and ask things that you want. You can create a thread and a relevant topic to make a discussion.

If you are new to trading or just starting, I really advise you to avoid visiting such social media especially Twitter, unless you are doing there for learning not looking at some crypto user who tweets with some dramas or shilling some altcoins, there are a lot of them there.
Most of my learning on trading cryptocurrency before was using Youtube. I keep watching different videos about trading, non-crypto, or cryptocurrency as long as you get the proper way of trading, like reading different candlesticks, chart patterns, and most important the risk management (e.g. risk: reward ratio).

Maybe Twitter is the best social media to get such posts about related points that you need.
However, so far, I personally use telegram, both channel and also discussion group. there are many telegram groups and channels to learn about it. But, be careful to choose the right group. I personally join the local group in my country. So, you may also find such a thing in your local area.
Actually, this forum also provides such information, like here in this trading discussion board. You can find a lot of information here, use the search button if you may need certain information or details. It may help

Well you are already here, why look for any other source when this forum is the best out there, nothing comes close to this community in terms of crypto members knowledge.


You can do the same here, you just have to read the rules and not violate any. And then we have different boards and sub boards for the right topic. I don't know if you are a crypto newbie, but don't make things complicate you, stick here and you will be good.

Just remember that all these platforms have scammers if you are a beginner make sure that you are only looking for knowledge and not money because you may encounter many scams on any platform. Do not also interact too much with strangers, many scammers are good at communicating and persuading but if you are good enough about the crypto world, no matter how good she or he is you will not get scammed.

Better to gain knowledge first before minding on earning money, there are many platforms we can use to learn much information, just focus on it.

Both of these media are easy media and are widely used by many people to talk about crypto. Talking about a lot of social media, of course everyone has differences, this depends on their needs. I think you (op) need to try them all if you want to have some hands-on experience. From there you will be able to decide the outcome for yourself. But you need to be careful because not all news on social media is always true, there are many scammers.

If that so, he/she doesn't have to use or visit the other platforms besides here as he will found so many interesting topics to read or practice by himself/herself. But that will give more knowledge if he can find for the other news from out there, so he/she can compare with what he/she found, so he/she can analyze more to know the truth.

Yes, I agree that he/she needs to be careful to search for the news on social media. Social media is a good place, but the influencer is not always a good person.

It's healthy for traders to find opportunities to socialize as their activity is quite lonely, but they should be careful not too be influenced too much about other people's trading ideas and charts.
Crypto Twitter is a great place for entertainment, I'll say that.  :D

For more in-depth discussions about charting and all that I'd look for a telegram or preferably discord trading group.

Here ,you can interact here with other members you can say and get the response you want to know as traders.

If you have group of friends that are continue doing trading. then, you can make your own group and give everyone suggestions that you think can help to improve your knowledge about trading in that case you are helping each other to grow.

Crypto twitter is flooded with shilling self proclaimed crypto influencers. There were a lot of them lurking around Twitter, be careful you might follow one of them and get fooled in buying shitcoins.
Reading trading blogs would be much safer, and of course consulting with members in this community. There are a lot of expert users in the field of trading in this community, and you're very much welcome to raise questions.

There are many places that can be used as a place for traders to discuss and share anything about the development of crypto. Twitter is indeed one of the social media that is currently widely used by traders. But not only positive things, there are many negative things that exist on Twitter and must be avoided.
Apart from socializing on twitter, telegram is also one of the places I choose because there is a lot of information that can be obtained from various crypto channels. But all return to the convenience of traders, choose a good place and avoid FUD, and other fake news. All places are good, but what makes them bad is the user of the place.

actually i have activities all of those social media platform. but i think telegram is the best place for traders and it has opened up opportunities to make big community up to 100k members can be joined in one place. the telegram is providing coin price so fast by bot function it’s interesting.

You seem right to give that information. Social media isn't the best teacher of trading because there are fake guys who no nothing about trading but they copy comment, analysis to their page that you follow but no profit to it. Reading of the basis like you have listed is better, like candlesticks.

I had been into few skype and telegram groups and enjoyed good signals and perfect guidelines but none of them lasted till date. Some people do start out of their own interest or due to some reason (maybe they might have got paid for doing so, who knows) but they are not showing same interest once they do get established which eventually result in inactive groups. I usually remove myself such groups like in telegram it is "leave the channel".

Definitely I can recommend this place as one of the best place for crypto traders but they need to check multiple boards like speculation and altcoin discussion and then bitcoin discussion so that they may keep themselves updated with respect to latest events of crypto space.

Youtube video tutorials and exchange that has a demo trading is the best place to go while you're catching knowledge in trading.  Just avoid joining a group that has a personal opinion, or just like what GreatArkansas said above, most of them are shilling or having drama which is lead us in the wrong direction.  Telegram group channel sometimes is good but I will choose only a reputable one, just like the Cointelegraph telegram channel for the news update.  Gathering news is sometimes worth it to have your own technical analysis.

Bitcointalk forum is also a good place to learn, a Wall Observer thread where you will learn reading a candlestick chart and give daily news updates.

Anyway, there are many too many places if you really want to learn about trading.  Just a piece of advice, avoid joining paid pump and dump group on any social media, they are sucks.

I don't know it's best place but indeed decent choice to those who begin their journey in the crypto trading. I'm taking about Nominex trading course, after completing the course you'll receive money in trust trading. Using the bonus you can get real money by showing up your trading skills. In Nominex there lots of option to grow your skills and i'm pretty satisfied their service.

His not looking for a Platform to trade , his looking for a platform that he can share and get ideas that he can use in trading . that course that nominex offer can help him to increase his knowledge  and also use it in trading. but I also think that he is also looking for a platform where he can talk to other professionals who can also share their trading experience to him and give him more tips .

This forum and Twitter is usually my go to post when it's all about having discussions.

But, when there are things I want to learn I have to make use of websites like Blockgeeks, Medium and Reddit, though it all depends on what I want to learn, and these three websites usually carry lots of articles that are mostly focused on teaching. Then when I want to read news on cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin, I go to Cointelegraph.com, coindesk, Twitter (I have to follow some accounts that are focused on crypto and posting updates on it).

Above all, this forum is quite helpful and this is where most people come to learn and share info.

I think I understand you now, using this current market condition as an example, from the look of things many people are already joining up because of what they might have heard as well as see that is going on, such as the price of Bitcoin, the green market and so on. Also, there is every tendency that most of these people will be doing so without knowing much about crypto, hence the essence of having a trusted place they can get started as well as accessing the correct information. In my own opinion, this forum is the best place because, you can get answers from experts, you can access series of informations and when confused you can also be guided. As for social media channels, twitter might be good, but you will have to be careful on the type of information you leverage on.

Sounds like you are looking for the best place to spread news about a new project? That's just a guess, well Twitter isn't bad but its not safer to look for projects on Twitter compare to Bitcointalk forum simply because you can get answers lot faster about any new project on here than in twitter, I knew twitter for FOMO and Hype creation only that's why it's the best place for fake tokens and scam projects that don't want to spend much on websites and domains, they use twitter instead

We cant exactly name a platform as most active. But according to my view It's better to refer to Reddit and Steemit to learn about projects and the field.

personally, am not really into crypto trading, but if i was, i will for sure will be most active here on bitcointalk or telegram groups ,some traders are mostly active on twitter but its a no for, when it comes to socializing, am not into twitter, facebook, instagram, i like it very much here but when you dont find me here , you find me on telegram .

defi can be in the latest trend but trends dont only attract traders but it also makes the traders turned off and leave . twitter is also already been popular before and its the top choice of project owners to give influece more than fb and other social medias but traders dont hang out on twitter the most because if you are a trader you will spend time trading in trading platforms i.e binance and also on this forum because we have more infos here but twitter can be a good tool in addition to get updates on your favorite crypto projects .

It's not about best places at all. It's about where do love to take advice & contribute chatting online. I am currently chatting in telegram groups as it's the most powerful tools now to faster support.
Yeah thats the best advice also.

I think all social media discuss crypto a lot, but the 4 most popular ones popular ones I am active there are, twitter, facebook, reddit, and telegram ...
I don't think there is the best platform, but all platforms are good.....
Every platform has a place to learn about bitcoin such as in the FB group, telegram group and Reddit/subreddit, and on twitter I think the latest news updates, and everything is useful ...

If you are more active in this forum trading section then no need to follow others social media section. I hope this forum enough to enough for teaching how we can make successful trade. Otherwise you can join some professional traders telegram group for more help.

There were lots specially in telegram but im not really just a fan on joining up some groups just for me to seek out some information but
it isnt really bad to join one as long you dont pay up something because it doesnt really contribute for you to be a better trader.
Trading and Economics and Speculation section of this forum would already be enough.
I cant point out some places in social media or whom to follow yet as i had mentioned im not really that a fan of.

If it's all about trading no one can beat https://www.tradingview.com/ you can find, share and copy of trades and exchange ideas to all traders in different fields such as stock and crypto market well that's where I get trading info and news sometimes.

None. If you think social media is going to help you with what trends there is buzzing, you are going to be late in the game. Trends are created elsewhere, they get popular on social media, not the other way round. How so, if you ask, I would tell you to trust my last several years in the market experience. If not, you can follow your footsteps in the social media and see how misled you will be.

This is one thing that you should not do when you are a trader and hoping to book some profits. You never reveal what TA you made or what coin you are going to buy next, instead you say the opposite. Like you want to buy some coin, you should FUD it so its price technically drops and you can catch it at lower price. Seems unscrupulous, but it is how this market works. ;)

Bitcointalk is the forum where I actively read much news because I don't think we can get what we want from the other blogs. Sometimes the owner of the blogs gets paid from the project to give a good review. But if you can read the information from here, you will see that many members give their honest reviews of the crypto market. You can interact with others using this forum, and you can share what you know with us and do the same thing as you.

I am a fully active twitter platform user and I am 100% sure that crypto on Twitter is highly dangerous, there are hundreds of unknown tokens and coins on Twitter that aren't listed anywhere and people are creating Hypes for this tokens, from deflationary tokens to DeFi projects, twitter is so unsafe compare to other crypto forums, it's just a fake hype haven

It's better to go for twiiter and Telegram groups, but in telegram and twitter paid shills are there, but both provide good amount of information and you can share your thoughts and interact with the same minds.

This is correct. Because of the reason that twitter accounts are often shills of some scam project - which means mindless bamboozled noobs who have been promised a pay for doing that. Those projects are scam and they wont even pay the people promoting them and therefore very dangerous to follow or take investment notice from.

Heck you should never trust anyone on social media for any investment tips. They are all there to promote their own bullshit and take your money away. A wise trader does not spend time on social media but rather use it in developing own FA/TA and charts, planning their next move and cycling their money through the bull and bear.

Popular among traders? twitter ? or maybe you mean Popular among Scammers and hackers ? Twitter has been at some point preventing by legit projects because of the content and ways how Some crypto abuser using the platform.
If you want true Interaction about crypto? then don't go anywhere instead "STAY IN BITCOINTALK.ORG" because there is no safest place to stay and tackle about crypto but In this Platform/Forum only.

I use Twitter as well in my trading strategy, for the first intention I choose twitter was this social media is really different with other social media.

Almost everyone who has a big influence in moving the market or changing the assumptions of a trader has a Twitter account.

As an example, Donal Trump, Nancy Pelosi, Biden even or newspapers that are often used as a reference for fundamental strategies by many traders such as Bloomberg, investing.com has a Twitter account, those things are enough for me to have a Twitter account and use it as a tool for my trading staretgy.

Twitter is almost similar like telegram and there are bunch of scammers there and what makes it different it there's someone can moderate the group in telegram to prevent the scammers to spread the link to the fake token but in twitter you can do nothing about that. you will see bunch of scammers are still spreading the fake coins to be bought by the newcomers.
that make us should be carefully before try to clicking into the any links on twitter.

It's better to avoid these platforms as far as investment advise is concerned. You don't want to take the koolaid of some shills ever in this sector.

It's also how scams get promoted without anyone knowing it to be a scam in the first place. The social media never takes into account how well spammer accounts, bots and so can be created and therefore we must remain vigilant about the possibility of scams.

If you want to make decisions for investment do your own research. Never trust anyone on the internet with a fancy name.

It is not a good idea to join in professional trading groups because till now we have seen many people lose their valuable money because nobody doesn't have any clue about the Bitcoin price, when it drops and when it increases and this makes some time the trader calls will not help the clients to make profits.

Better to use Twitter and Reddit. You can find quality contents in there.

Most of the time I use Twitter to get the latest updates about the crypto world. I followed a lot of crypto-related people there. so why it's very easy for me to get the latest update about the crypto industry. besides Twitter, I also like to use coindesk as the best way to know the latest news about crypto. both are very helpful for me. I also like to get an update from Reddit, I follow most of the top subreddit to get the update about crypto industry.

It means you have either never been to the crypto related topics on these social media or you are one of those users who go there with only one purpose: shilling of shitcoins and propaganda topics.

In case you belong to the first group, please know that only shitcoins and its shills breed in reddit and twitter. Their only job in life is to pump their shitcoins mindlessly and bamboozle some newbies about their initial investment ideas.

Please don't visit these places to get investment ideas. You will be badly misled.
