Honestly, there are lots of advantages of having a bitcointalk account. You can become updated with the latest happenings in the market and at the same time you may know which altcoins are the best to invest with at the moment. You can use your account to join different signatures which can give you lots of profits, depending on the work you've put in, at the end of the day. Your knowledge about crypto may also increase as you read different topics wherein those that you ask in your mind are being answered accurately most of the time.
