Perhaps I've always been a lone ranger, which sometimes makes me feel lonely. I'd like to connect with cryptocurrency investors from around the world and share our insights and experiences.
I would say that buying stuff like bitcoin and ethereum would be the smart way to go, and you would be able to find communities for traders on telegram to chat about it as well. Just go to telegram, write on the search bar "crypto trading group" or something and I am sure you will find a bunch of it. I get that it is not an organic way of finding people, you will be forcing it, but at the very least you will not be alone.
Buying the biggest name coins opens the door for a lot, and it is great way to make a profit as well, bitcoin for example is still ranked first even after so many other stuff that has better blockchains came up, why? Because it is by far the best decentralized coin out there no matter what others do.
