Do your own research gone wrong

[Japinat]

This all depends on the personalities you're following on twitter. Before you follow any user on X you must have to do your own due diligence. There are personalities you would never regret following them on X, especially those seasoned bitcoin maxis. Perhaps you can always start with Bitcoin Archive and Bitcoin Magazine. There are host of other good suggestions I believe preceding replies would share too.

I won't say in general that having research on X is a total useless because there are still influencers there that are giving out genuine information that can be useful for us particularly for beginners. But you have to make due diligence first by knowing well those personalities so you can compare them and end up with the best personality to follow.

However, the forum itself is already a good start. Not everyone is saying right about bitcoin, but a lot of us here are trying to provide the most reliable information and experience any newbie will greatly benefit.

Honestly I’m surprised people learn about crypto on twitter, wow what an error although they’re ignorant about bitcoin knowledge reason why they chase after influencers. Well op learnt a good lesson because twitter will not offer any useful advise rather influencers are just paid to advertise any coin majorly for entertainment purpose, funny enough the more views the more wider audience so it’s safe to say people who follow such influencers are the ones spreading false information across the globe. They’re other good places to learn about bitcoin as op mentioned the bitcoin forum is a better example also other crypto related forum, if anyone intends to learn using a social media app obviously they’re wasting their time.

The best place where influencers can get the best of you is Twitter, over 90% of all the crypto content on Twitter are bad for beginners, they are full of misleading information, so don't go and do something stupid and start blaming Twitter for it, users on that platform are looking for users to turn into Exit Liquidity. They will end up telling you to join their YouTube channel where they will fill your head with more nonsense.

Not a single advice worked out, do your own research and don't stop learning, this forum was more than enough but I choose to listen to influencers I have learned my lesson.

X is my favorite social media platform where I get a lot of news about different things happening around the world. I don't see anything wrong with using X and reading from it, true the social media is a very deceitful place where people disguise and mislead people and scam them but just as much as there are bad people there are also good people with legit information so the best thing is to not just believe everything we read there easily and we should always carry out personal research and confirm it's authenticity before trusting the information. There are legit sources but regarding cryptocurrency my advice is that we should never trust anyone or any information easily. It totally depends on who you're following, many people have gained a lot following the right and so some had suffered following the wrong people but because there are bad people doesn't generalize X to be bad.

Does anyone have a list of actual trustworthy accounts or is that just a myth at this point

It is a brutal reality that many of those big accounts on X are just looking for their next group of victims to dump their bags on and calling it a learning lesson is a very expensive way to find out who to trust in this space, the psychological pressure they put on beginners with those rocket emojis and life changing profit claims is exactly how they get you to stop thinking clearly

Well your mistakes was to swallow every information you saw of X. Hadn't you've done proper research to you see that most advice or post on X is just to farm engagement, likes and followers. Most the account owners don't have knowledge about Bitcoin. Beginners always fall victim to these alot because they feel they get knowledge from it . Only learn from trusted source, like this  forum, as a beginner you can learn alot of things here.

The people posting every story on X aren't actually aiming for beginners to read it, but for everyone to read it, so every reader must make an informed decision about whether to believe it. Those posting all the news on X aren't telling everyone to believe them, although they would be happy if someone believed it without further filtering. So I don't think there's anything wrong with that, as each individual can still make a final decision after reading something on any medium other than X.
