differences in online crypto communities

[cabron]

Obviously Bitcointalk is the biggest crypto community, there may be users in reddit but I thinmk most of them are are also here. You can see what posted there is also discussed here.

Telegram and discord groups are often for specific group of community who supports certain altcoin which they also spam each other.

You missed YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and others

Because there are also lot of people claiming themselves as crypto investment/prediction/ analyst/ experts to make money for them.

Nowhere is perfect and no one is going to reveal the million dollar idea if they actually knew which I learnt from bitcointalk.

Reddit: Casual, best for laughs and giggles

Bitcointalk: Where slangs are rare sight

Crypto Twitter: Home of prediction experts /s

Discord: Imo best way to keep up with projects

Telegram: Spam home

When a hunter writes a story titled "The hunter and the Lion", be rest assured that the story will always glorify the hunter .^{I really hope you understand what I mean by this.}

I would have been really surprised if Bitcointalk had less votes in the poll,
then I would have asked the voters why the hell they are still here if Bitcointalk isnt their best.

Those services are pure cancer tbh, Instagram/fb more so. If you go for crypto news on these platforms, you will fill your mind with unnecessary garbage.

Accurate but didn't expect votes others received. Expected difference but not this much.

Telegram can be called the home of scammers. It is where one knows that scammers dwell and yet end up being scammed.

It also depends on what kind groups you are part of. If we are talking about Telegram groups that belong to big cryptocurrency exchanges, then the first thing you will come across is a scammer PMing you for this or that reason. But you are free to create your own communities, invite whoever you want, set your own rules, and apply them in practice. After that you can discuss whatever you want with people you know and/or trust. Telegram groups can be invite-only, so that helps in keeping douchebags out. When used properly and with the right kind of people, Telegram can be a decent chat platform with some good features.

That's exactly what I do now. I only relate with my trusted pals and community. I really had some ugly telegram experience as a newbie in crypto.  After the experience, I tried getting over it with the mindset of correcting my flaws but I fell for it again.

The idea of escrow that I met in the forum, it was on telegram I actually witnessed it. Well explained on how it works but it didn't work in a real sense.
Another was pump and dump experience which I narrowly escaped because of your topic of asking questions and giving newbies merit. From that topic I learnt the pump and dump scheme and averted that incident.

I have been on Reddit, Telegram and bit of Twitter and Discord.

For the most part, when comes to crypto communities Reddit is a mixture of occasional serious news, personal experiences/questions and a lot of memes and low quality posting.

Telegram depending of the project or group could be occasional comments on the price of the assets, some participation by the developers or straight shilling spam.

Twitter is okey to keep in touch with those in charge of successful coins, services and exchanges, this being the case of Binance's CEO, for example.

Discord is ideal to legitimate projects to have their community informed in a more personal way than Twitter. Not much to say from my experience.

This discussion makes me realize of awesome it would be if developers and creators of legitimate and popular projects like Vitalik were active members of Bitcointalk and not only on the development/technical board.

Yeah, but there are also lot of people seeking information about cryptos that is why we see lot of pages and channels related to crypto projects, signals, etc but all of them were doing for their own benefits not really contributing anything towards the crypto adoption or so.

I have to say that there is one channel about cryptocurrency that actually stands out among others in my opinion, the Cryptobureau.
The man seems to be authentic enough, makes clear he does not provide financial advise and also avoid to run ads on his channel to avoid scammers to take over his videos, I dont know, his videos on general feel to be sincere and that he want to actually educate his viewers about blockchain projects and make them aware of the most common scams and security breaches.

Reddit: I don't visit reddit neither have an account 

Bitcointalk: This is where I gather things up, See what's currently happening in the entire cryptocurrency space. I've learned things here and can personally label this forum as the most healthy threads in the entire cryptospace.

Twitter: I can mostly see insights, prediction and NFT's here when I open my twitter account dedicated for crypto. It depends on who you follow, There are many trolls here and a lot of meme whenever something big is happening to crypto.

Discord: I'm only visiting discord for me to check what's a certain project situation and announcements. It's easier cause it's sorted.  I don't spend much time in discord.

Telegram: I do visit telegram telegram groups for certain project questions. I also don't spend much time in telegram.

It's hard to tell which I use most often from the choices. I stopped using facebook for a while now to stay away with the toxicity of people in my country arguing about political issues. Reddit, bitcointalk, telegram, discord, and twitter keeps my time occupied and still be able to talk to others. People there are more private and only talks what is in the topic. You can learn more from them rather than using other social media where it just wastes your time.
