For several years, social media has been one of the main sources of traffic for various niches including Bitcoin and cryptocurrency-related topics. Back then without the growth of social media, we only use search engine, forums, etc., (with the exception of Friendster, MySpace, etc.)., to find relevant information about anything.
Now with social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc., it is now easier to engage with a lot of users to talk more about Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, etc. It plays a key role for us to become aware of what is going, how we react, respond and engage with others.
I agree, while the mainstream media keeps talking badly about bitcoin and the market in general the general attitude that we can see in social media websites is way better, while there is obviously people that are against bitcoin there are also many other people that are in favor of bitcoin and what it represents, so overall those websites have helped the awareness and adoption of bitcoin among the population at large, something that can only be good for us.
