Let me share my little experience on how i got most latest news on crypto and the crypto community.

I started as a newbie reading white papers of newer projects and ICO's, then I got to know some bits and gist about the community.  Later on i got to know of cryptoslate website, hackermoon, newbium and steemit and of course bitcointalk forum. This has being my humble beginning.  I will urge that you read wide and broad on everything so that you become more abreast with issues.
