Twitter is a good source of info in my opinion, because there are a lot of crypto services who uses it as their official account.

However, I checked your twitter account, there's no originally, you just copy some article on some social media sites, so I would say that you won't attract many users here because they can get those news directly to the source.

for me, twitter is not a good source of bitcoin news there already a lot of people doing this
I prefer using a search engine or look directly to some bitcoin news website

maybe for some twitter users it would be helpful for them as they dont need to go to the site directly to search for news. a lot of people are lazy! lol
 but since im not a twitter user, i also prefer to check the common sites that i usually visit to check for latest news like coindesk or better yet use your google search and a lot will come up already
and also the op should have big number of followers to make his effort worthwhile. what will he gain from doing so btw?

What are you up to? you want to build trust from the community so that you will be followed by most? it's hard to compete with those established news agencies that are covering day by day news about cryptocurrencies.

Twitter is now becoming a place of different kinds of news and even for opinions. But it won't be easy for you to get a lot of followers if you want to make your twitter account as a source of different news in crypto. You can do it if it's your passion.

If you think that you can compete with the other information sources, then go for it. Remember that other news sources aren't just built in twitter, they also take advantage of other social media platforms like Facebook. They also make there own website in order to gain more exposure to the internet. I'd say you do the same to make your news source successful. If you only use that for shilling, then you won't last long. Copying news articles doesn't do you good.

It is a good source of info for me, especially if the information will be from direct people which is considered first hand, you have the strongest news info platform. But the risk in this platform is the authenticity of the information. Most of the first-hand info are useful, but it needs to be extracted and filtered first. We cannot just make news just from a single post of a person, since most of the time, news should be gathered informal announcement with press and people.

It'll make no sense if you're just sharing coindesk's articles. Coindesk is already an established source. So I'm quite sure that majority of your followers are also their followers and have seen the articles you probably will be sharing ~ So it's kinda cliche to keep rubbing it on their faces. Think about creating your own contents. It's one way to ensure that users keeping coming back. Contenti s king. Always been.

No is the straightforward answer. Twtter is too brief for anything but shills saying "but" or "sell". You can't get a good idea of what a coin is about, or about the fundamentals driving bitcoin. Or even TA (which needs decent charts and some commentary).

Twitter is completely useless as a souce of quality info, and you would be best avoiding it. The best source of info is a) threads on this forum b) subreddits like bitcoinmarkets, and also the individual coin subreddits c) podcasts like Letstalkbitcoin d) some of the cryptocurrency news sites which break news about anything crypto-related.

Twitter is extremely limited, it is not supposed to be used for any kind of lengthy discussion, so the amount of valuable information that you can find there is very low, especially if what you are looking is for a deep analysis about what is happening in the markets.

And twitter is even worse because in there you only find users or in some cases bots spreading false information about what is happening in the market which try to influence you to buy or sell your coins.

I think twitter is not a good source of bitcoin's info as well as any kind of social media sites. Forums like bitcointalk.org are so good to get an unlimeted info each single day, because probably the most of people in the world who interested about bitcoin are sharing stuffs here

Bitcointalk is greatest forum good source info of bitcoin price update and new ICO project, but twitter is best social media platform how to promote about bitcoin and altcoin, by promoting on twitter we can get many investor want to joined with crypto. Many people use twitter as social media than other social media lie Facebook and Instagram but only twitter can reached many investor by promoting.

They choose to use Twitter to disseminate information and news simply because of the number of user. They consider as well the efficiency and credibility, Facebook is indeed the most leading and largest social media platform across the world however, there's a lot of fake news are lie in there unlike in Twitter. Twitter defined as online news platform and social networking service while Facebook mostly deals upon the status of a person thus it is the reason why Twitter is much better to this kind of thing over other social meadia platform.

Actually it is not that limited, social media or twitter updates can easily spread quickly through tweets and retweets.
By using hashtags tweets can also be found so easily.

And twitter is even worse because in there you only find users or in some cases bots spreading false information about what is happening in the market which try to influence you to buy or sell your coins.

I do agree with some users using a bot to spread false information, but it is not something like a big deal. You can easily avoid and block those bots to avoid receiving false information.

there are many types of accounts like this, and the op just started his adventure developing a reputation. Popular Twitter accounts are preferred because of assumptions from personal thoughts, so don't just make raw retweets and share them directly, you can build them through retweeting from your own website articles.

Twitter is a good source of crypto for personal or corporate status, not something like this.

I dont think people will follow your twitter account about bitcoin, maybe it is also depend on what you tweet, if people will think they will get news and updates with your twitter account or not. For me, this forum is enough to get updates about bitcoin and there is Google anyways.

yes it might be a good thing for you to promote cryptocurrency through your Twitter account, but I think Twitter is not a good thing to send bitcoin information because basically Twitter is a real-life based social media every day, in my opinion you should use steemite, medium , and reddit to promote cryptocurrency I think this platform is much better for doing that.

[bering]

Depend on the people who see this as good source or not but before you some of people has been doing the same thing and they have more followers more than you so i'm not sure if people will always see your status everyday but regardless all of it social media still one of best place to spread the particular news and as long it good for you and for other people i think you shouldn't not stopping it and continue your services

as long as we can assure that his service , his news is reliable and true we can think that his twitter account could be a great source of news in social media, there are a lot of fake accounts with fake news in the web now, if he shows the transparency in is account maybe that twitter account can help us to gather news, weather it is good or it is a bad news for all of us crypto users.

If you want to reach many people from all over the world, you should create a website about bitcoin so your chance to get more visitors from all countries will wide open. Besides that, if you can promote your website on social media, including your twitter, I am sure your chance will bigger too. I am not sure that you will get a big follower by using your twitter to create bitcoin news because twitter is not for all people, and many of them thought that sometimes the news from social media could not be valid.

But I don't know and not sure about that. If you want to try, then you can try to build your twitter and continue to give the news to people, and you will see how people will react with your news.

continue your work, you don't need to compete with other bitcoin news twitter users out there, but a bit of advice is better you direct to your website and your writing than to share posts from other news sites, remember that there are many social media that you can use besides twitter , for example Instagram Tumblr and a few others

[Astvile]

Twitter and many other social media websites are actually not a good source of info. Even news on television isn't real sometimes. Every platform will be a reliable source of information if you know how to validate and check whether what written on the post you saw is real or not.

You have a good plan but I don't think it is very important. I went over your tweets and you are just making everything a little bit harder for yourself. You are usually creating a tweet with a link to the article in various crypto news sites and blogs such as cointelegraph, coinmarketcap, theblogcrypto, etc. You could just have retweeted these sites' official tweets on the same articles. That would serve the same purpose anyway. And it's easier for you.

Twitter is the best source for breaking news stories imo. I always use it to search for near enough live updates of any particular topic I want to find out about.

Twitter as a social media prides itself in quality control. Over 80% of accounts on Twitter are real people that are mostly active. I think Twitter is a good medium to pass out information as many block chain projects prioritize Twitter accounts. Its easy to use and navigate and this makes for a good using experience. I followed your page too!
