I've seen people argue about how social media has been used to spread fake news about Cryptocurrency and someone even said it's killing Crypto cause lots of people have been scammed of their Cryptocurrency through links they come across on the media well my thought to that statement is that the media didn't force them to click on those links and they fell victim to scammers on the media due to ignorance or greed. Well even though the first statement might be right cause paid actors use the media to deceive people into wrong choices of crypto investments, however everything got it's disadvantage and benefits too.
Everything in life has both advantages and disadvantages. It will now depend on users to maximize the benefits and seek ways to protect themselves from the negative consequences. Internet banking made a financial transaction easy but it also led to an increase in online scams and hacks. Social media have been helpful to the crypto space but they also have limitations.
Well, humans are prone to react negatively to certain things especially when they're the victims and some have even blamed the media for their carelessness, however it may be, the media has it's benefits to Cryptocurrency and has caused a recent mass adoption of Cryptocurrencies be it Bitcoin or Altcoins. For instance, Cryptocurrency is the new trend when it comes to finance and one the fastest ways to know about new trends is the social media.
Social media is a potent tool for the spreading of crypto information. Since the most active actors in the crypto space are young people, social media will be the best avenue to connect with them. It is also a good place to get some helpful tutorials.
Another instance is the airdrop fever, the airdrop have been ongoing for years now but social media through telegram and Ton blockchain has caused a mass participation of airdrops lately compared to previous times and to crown it all, telegram which is one of the biggest social media platform have even got their own exchange and wallet where it's users can easily purchase Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Telegram has been the rave for some time now. Many of them turned out to be worthless, however many people have benefitted from these telegram airdrops. So we can say the integration of social media with crypto has increased the income people get from the crypto industry.
