IntroductionA community can be said to be a social group of any size, created by people with common goals or interests. A crypto community is one where members share ideas, personal experience and their unwavering love for cryptocurrencies. Bitcointalk forum is an excellent example of such a community. Satoshi Nakamoto founded the forum to help others in the bitcoin community. I particularly love the rank system and trust system put in place. I hope other crypto communities and groups will follow this thread in the future.
There are crypto communities on social media platforms such as Telegram, Clubhouse, Reddit, Viber, and so on.
Benefits of joining crypto communitiesBuilding trust and a sense of togethernessJoining a crypto community doesn’t only make someone a member or give a person a sense of belonging. It also brings a sense of ownership of what the group is about or what it promotes.
If you’re a part of a crypto group, in whichever social media platform it may be, you may have noticed that there’s a variety of people you’re communicating with. There may be newbies, exchange platform owners, traders, and investors, to name a few.
Providing an effective platform for communication The world of cryptocurrencies can be overwhelming at first. Through communities, people with the same interests can exchange their ideas and knowledge with members from different parts of the world.
Opening vast opportunities of earning moneyPeople join communities because they want to learn something. They may be curious about a specific cryptocurrency, a platform or an exchange, and products or services.
On the forum, you can find discussions dedicated to different aspects of blockchain technology like ICOs announcements, crypto trading, mining equipment, signature campaigns, airdrops & bounties e.t.c.
Disadvantages of joining a crypto communityI can't possibly think of a negative side to joining a crypto group except for the high possibility of scams. There are pump and dump groups everywhere looking for prey. Joining a community puts you in a box and scammers can target members of these community. That's why I recommend the trust system.
ConclusionOne of the best ways to get involved in cryptocurrencies is to interact with the most active crypto communities. In most cases members are supportive and ready to answer your questions.
