Jeebus that guy is the perfect example. Pretty much calls anyone who disagrees with his opinion a "retard". And not only that, he's pretty much low-key in the "Coronavirus is just like the flu" camp. Very unfortunate as his book "The Bitcoin Standard" is highly respected in the industry.

Yup. I started off giving him the benefit of the doubt. And then he kept pounding the same odious dreck relentlessly. Realising 'y'know what? I don't need to have my precious life juices used up by your worthless opinions' and giving him the boot forever was a liberating moment.

Another beauty of Twitter is that if the person you're following slowly turns into a dickhead you can simply erase them. Saifedean Ammous started off alright and then turned into a boring twat shouting about meat all the time.

The number of people there that are heavily focused on transaction speed(and fees) while ignoring security and decentralization are mind boggling.

Aye. That's the essence of it boiled down right there.

It's like buying an airliner based on the peanuts they serve in flight rather than the engines and aerodynamics or whether it's a plastic kit a few inches long or a full sized real one.

I understand what you mean about drama queens, with the names of big people who have many followers and one of the CEOs of the relevant Bitcoin / crypto company. They just want to be talked about and known to many people. claim something without being able to prove and always spread FUD about its wrong predictions. Shocked

What I like about following the right people on Twitter? You don't even need to follow these Bitcoin/crypto "news sites" that frequently posts wack and useless content. If you follow the right people on Twitter, chances are, they're going to retweet and post about the actually relevant news anyway. Plus, we also get their opinions!

There sure are a good amount of big-name drama queens though. Without even naming names, some of the biggest drama queens are even CEOs of very relevant Bitcoin/crypto companies.

Of course, I also follow the right people and process relevant news to give their opinions on the news. Not just followed by many people and make a big drama.

Twitter does look better in several aspects, depending on the people who use it. Twitter contains a variety of the latest news that is shared by professionals in the field of cryptocurrency that has been followed by many people. and indeed, they are prominent people on Twitter focusing on developing rather than made-up dramas.

Stories of crypto news like coindesk and other news sites, sometimes containing FUD news are full of dramas that are deliberately made for the benefit of some groups, there are intentions and objectives veiled in the news they share.

at least we have to filter every news we read and not just read one news, but many stories so we can conclude whether it's good news or just a drama.

I would suggest Reddit but unfortunately it's mostly crap now. Especially r/cryptocurrency which is pretty much an anti-bitcoin pro-NANO subreddit nowadays.

Every time I click on r/cryptocurrency I leave a couple of minutes later shaking my head in disgust.

In my case, "shaking my head" is a huge understatement. The number of people there that are heavily focused on transaction speed(and fees) while ignoring security and decentralization are mind boggling. A few times I week I give r/cryptocurrency a chance thinking that it might have changed, and everytime I do visit the subreddit I end up wanting to bash my head on a rock.

I used to also check news on Twitter but most replies were either memes or stupid ones though, lol.

Twitter is pretty much the only place I bother with these days. It's entirely within your control unlike the crypto 'press' which almost entirely junk. Coindesk is just another dumb fuckhole like everywhere else but with a bigger budget. Find people you respect and follow them.

On the rare occasions I step outside those people I am truly sickened at the tidal wave of mindlessness and stupidity that rushes towards me on there which means my walled garden is doing a good job of keeping me safe.

Anyway, the people I frequently pay attention on Twitter are mostly the developers and the sort of "Bitcoin economists", as to almost guarantee that I'm going to get good content from them. Though I sometimes love some banter from Udi Wertheimer too.

I think these people are google able, so I'll check this out! Thank you for the tip! Cheesy

Might be different to find as the "best Twitter accounts to follow" are going to be really subjective, so here are some from my list.

Somewhat technical stuff:

https://twitter.com/adam3us
https://twitter.com/TheBlueMatt
https://twitter.com/pwuille
https://twitter.com/hashoshi4 (mostly altcoins but still interesting imo)
https://twitter.com/peterktodd
https://twitter.com/starkness
https://hive.one/p/JackMallers/
https://twitter.com/NicolasDorier
https://twitter.com/nopara73

Economic side of Bitcoin:

https://twitter.com/misir_mahmudov
https://twitter.com/TuurDemeester
https://twitter.com/pierre_rochard
https://twitter.com/nic__carter
https://twitter.com/100trillionUSD
https://twitter.com/saifedean (I heavily disagree with some of his tweets but still interesting)
https://twitter.com/MustStopMurad (used to love his content, now inactive)

There's definitely a lot more but I wouldn't want to make this too long lmao.

LOL funny how you included Peter Schiff there. Who else is more obsessed about Bitcoin than Peter Schiff. Tongue

But why include Roger Ver tho

I first encountered him on a debate with Erik Voorhees that I recently watched on youtube. So, I immediately followed his twitter to see all those laughable tweets he got regarding bitcoin skepticism though at some point I found some of his tweets does make sense. And yeah! I followed him for some entertainment even though he's a complete anagram of a "Perfect Fish"

True! Reading replies from other people could really make a difference to avoid being biassed on some point and make you realize things between two opposing ideas. However, can you suggest some of the notable person you are currently following?

I think Telegram gives better information about crypto on social media than Twitter. Telegram is far more popular than Twitter when it involves performing on crypto Everyone gets all the updated information about crypto through a telegram from the start. Twitter keeps tons of data secret when it involves using their own currency.

Nah. Telegram and Twitter are really different from each other.
What I am saying is the twitter account of those said news providers in the first post, those providers got their own twitter accounts which you can easily follow them and get updated since most of their tweets are their articles. But I think they got also telegram channels where they also post their articles there.

Well true. I mostly just read the quite older tweets/retweets(probably 4 hours+ old) as to somewhat filter the useless posts to the bottom as the useful replies gets liked to the top.

I think all crypto spaces & domains that were pro-BTC have swapped their poles partially.

Unfortunately that's what happens if a certain platform is easily swayed by bots and account farms.

I think all crypto spaces & domains that were pro-BTC have swapped their poles partially. Only very few remained, out of which I think I can only name bitcoin.org which still stands on the same supportive position it was on a decade ago. I wish I could say BitcoinTalk is one of them too, but unfortunately it's been invaded by supporters of completely garbage coins and most of those claiming to be "pro-bitcoin only" are actually shills of some useless shitcoins. The Bitcoin section is still doing fine though..

There are plenty of websites out there to get your news from, so I'd rather do something else than check each one: just go over some search engine like DuckDuckGo or Google, search a term you're interested in and choose "News" up there on the loaded page. Lots of filters and includes all websites out there that specific engine has crawled. It's much better imo.

But anyway, if you spend enough time on the forum you won't even need to look for any news anymore as you'll find everything out - even those you won't find on Google's news - by simply browsing the forum and reading posts.

Coindesk and Coin Telegraph are a good source of news about cryptocurrency, but beware sometimes because they have some posts in their social media that is sponsored by some altcoins, but nothing is wrong, I still follow them.
I am just more updated on their social media accounts, especially twitter: https://twitter.com/CoinDesk, https://twitter.com/Cointelegraph ,
once they share some of their articles, that's the time I check the article since I am more active on Twitter.

I prefer going through the information shared on twitter, Checking the comment box for relevant contributions and arguments. And also most of the tweets come from famous cryptocurrency Influencers so they are trusted information.

Welcome to this forum buddy, we should spend our time in more productive things like learning from home and doing some things that will benefit us from the future. Reading and understanding the crypto world will make you more updated about the crypto world happenings.

Thanks for sharing that kind of information, I hope that some beginners would do the same because I have seen so many posts created by the beginners asking on how they will going to earn money from this forum, which is not really good because this forum has made for learning purposes. This would help us know more things about the crypto world and that is why I love exploring and reading threads in this forum.

I always like reading information in any matter and my goal now is to be knowledgeable about bitcoin so I always visit that website because there are many updated information there.
