It's not news that specialization in a particular area brings out a lot of quality in people's works. But do you guys think that a newbie should focus on developing a niche to thrive in or diversify his/her interests as much as possible
I think you should follow your interests and what interests you.
Each of the forum members is different and is interested in a different aspect of the crypto industry.
Are you more interested in technology, business, or maybe you just want to meet crypto enthusiasts from your local area?
Only you know the answer to these questions, and accordingly you will choose the part of the forum that suits your interests.
Personally, I believe that investments should be diversified, not personal interests
No one can follow all areas and be an expert in everything.
No one may be doing something without the interest on it. So definitely, there should be high interest and focus on the things that keep you growing. Like in crypto forum, if you think you are good in gambling discussion, then go for it because that will develop you skills in gambling too. However, if I were to suggest, once you enter the forum, you should be knowledgeable in all aspects of the forum, like in bitcoin discussion, trading discussion, or even in gambling discussion. That way, whatever task you are given, you will never be left behind.
