Bitcoin twitter has been awful lately. Sorry to admit it but it got worse after Elon took over. Basically you got nothing but bots posting phishing websites and scams.
Doesn’t matter what you are trying to search for? Whether bitcoin, Ethereum, alts, defi you will get nothing but massive replies about scams which try and steal your bitcoins.
I was actually curious about this. Although there is completely nothing wrong with socializing with a community online, specially through social media (as that is basically one of the main purpose of these platforms) I was worried about the risk it might bring. Scammers and hackers are everywhere, in fact one of their most well-known style is to pretend like they are a member of the community and earn information and trust of the actual members, once they are able to do that they strike. With such events always occuring, I am skeptical about joining threads and social media communities like groups or forums that are just open for everyone to see and be a part of. At least here it isn't as loud and as open as Twitter or Facebook.
Social media lets you connect, share, and learn, but it also has drawbacks. On the other hand, it attracts scammers and hackers. Yes, I understand. Everyone wants to be the next "crypto genius" by lurking in forums and accumulating info. If you're wading into Bitcoin, its time to learn, right?
Online communities can be good. Some people truly provide information that can help you in this Bitcoin-obsessed world. There's always a catch. The issue? Choosing who to trust and "politely" disregard. Too cautious, you'll miss out; too trusting, you may get manipulated. Enter these crypto streets cautiously, educated, and maybe dont wear your heart on your sleeve.
