Recentely i had a discussion with some people, who stated they did not feel part of a community or even considered a community being possible that could evolve around a cryptocurrency. I found this rather odd as i feel strongly connected to a community of the cryptocurrency i am interested in (Dash).
I do realise i will never get in touch with the whole Dash crypto community, due to language barriers and the community being spread over different forums (BCT, Dash.org, Reddit, Slack), but i still have a strong feeling of being part of a community.
If you are interested in participathing in this little poll of mine then please vote for option yes or no and describe in a reply how you voted and why.

Well taking part in crypto community actions can mean different things. Some people say that miners and traders are ones making community of one coin. I agree to some point with that. Look at all major coins, they are in fact popular because they attract miners and traders encouraging conversations and questions. I personally voted yes here because I'm part of multiple coins community and I also take part in mining and trading

The fact that we are all on this forum talking about bitcoin is a community in itself, this is where I feel the most community spirit within this forum itself.

My vote is yes, and this is only specific to the "crypto gambling" community. It may not be as glamourous as dev communities or even trader communities, but I personally feel it has its place, however niche.
I dare say I am trying to slowly be part of existing communities otherwise interested in the proliferation and progress of crypto but I do not think I will properly be a useful member of such communities just yet. It's difficult also to see where that community is on this forum, if there is one at all.

same as Spoetnik, since my first post i always thought about cryptocurrencies community, not only bitcoin, or dash, or litecoin ... I don't think someone can actually ghost all the cryptos and bind his community to a single coin, i useually talk about altcoin community, or crypto community, and i really feel inside of it.

I think i am the part of crypto community, I always introduced bitcoin to the friends that I met, and after they become quite familiar I usually teach them how to trade alt coin, by keep on introducing and using bitcoin I think I have become the part of crypto community and I also joined another forum to update my crypto currencies news

Yes of course,I am an investors and adopters of some crypto currency,when you mean a community you are part of the development of crypto currency in general whether you are with bitcoin or other crypto currency this forum binds as together as we are not adopting one crypto currency in general.

in my opinion being a part of the community of a crypto currency and being involved with it is not just about visiting its website or knowing the developers, it is not even about knowing the code,...
you can still be a part of the community if you are a part of the network and hold some of that coin. for example running a full node is all it takes to contribute more than enough.
so yeah i consider myself one.

If you are buying and selling crypto currency otr you have a desktop wallet,then you are part of the community,the mere fact that you are posting here,you are already part of the community,only those who do not know what crypto currency are not part of the crypto community.

I don't agree with you on this point, holding a wallet and trading doesn't means that you are a member of the community, it just means that you are a trader, and, that you trade cryptos. So you are more a crypto user then a community member. Been involved in the forum or in some projects who have something to do with cryptocurrencies means that you are a member of the crypto community because you bring omething to all the crypto users. And it doesn't means that you have to be a dev, you can support projects like a lot of people are doing here, either by supporting the network (POW/POS/POSA ....) or by investing (ICO/IPO ....) or by providing support through the different campaigns offered.

In a way, watching all of this mess, we are still engaging into "Alts" so yes, there is a crowd dreaming the very same dream. Just that is has grown into a nightmare, that is.

LEOcoin is best crypto comunity! Its a nice community of newbs and shill accounts. I used to be a bitshares guy but that community fell apart soon after Dan started making changes. After that I don't do the community thing anymore. I'm just in and out of coins here and there trying to make some money.

The community idea is all and well, but in nearly every case in the crypto world, there is only one motive: money. People love making money and the community gets in the way; for example pumps and dumps which destroy altcoins, or insta/pre mines run by devs with questionable motives.

I think I was the one who had this discussion with qwizzie, which began with him calling the Monero "community" toxic trolls or something, and I said "what community?" My main points were, cryptos are supposed to be currencies, right? Is there a USD community? A Chinese yuan community? Even for Bitcoin or any altcoin, is it the developers, shitposters here, redditors, dnm users? All of the above? None? Something else? I just don't think there's anyway to really define _the_ community of a coin. I guess I agree with spoetnik that there is a a bitcointalk community we shitposters are clearly all a part of, and even that there are communities that grow up around a coin, such as IRC channels or subreddits or whatever, but I still don't think you can define a singular community around what is nominally supposed to be a currency.

this particular "community" is so jacked up with games and BS that no one can really be part of it, but yes, there are two or three other internet spots that we have been with for a while and we are part of those community

@jwinterm I marked it on the calendar How many consider themselves to be a community member with a specific coin ? How many can be deemed a rabid obsessive SHILL ? I long said there was no Doge Coin community.. I said once the scale tilts on mining profitability there will be a mass exodus. I was right and i even called it when i seen the price at Cryptsy. I screen capped it and said ok guys.. it begins RIGHT NOW ..i said you watch & see i warned you all for ages. I was right too ! Right after that the users started bolting and this place went silent. No more 75% of topics on page 1 here are about Doge anymore. Time went by and the dev announced that he was leaving the Doge coin project ..because of a lack of community support. This all to me tells me you are simply putting on a charade for profits out of greed. They claim "community" to lure in more ponzi victims.. but it's for profits $$$ It's a facade.. a lie ! It's a mask for the agenda. Summary:
I see one community and that is all of us combined and connected through this forum and other locations.

No. I'm not attached to any project, I'm in crypto to make money and profit, so anyone that is attached to some projects are getting it wrong, Dogecoin is a good example, when to the moon was talk of the town, make your money and move on but some people are still bagholding Dogecoin hoping the price will move up.
