So I know that everybody probably wants this kind of information and few people want to deal it out, but I was wondering if there is a place that that I could get updates on the latest trading info (things like promising coins coming out, updates getting pushed, sudden hype, etc).
You can try Reddit.com/r/btc or Reddit.com/r/bitcoin to get update and up coming event on cryptocurrency. But if you are new to trade you can get news and info about altcoin and bitcoin price from exchanger platform like poloniex and yobit. Coindest also provided fundermental analysis info.
