What would crypto be without people?
The answer is, absolutely nothing. Bitcoin is a protocol that was created by and for people. Bitcoin is based on trust and privacy.
Because of this, what I like to emphasize the most in the crypto environment is the community behind the industry. A community that, although it is formed based on money, is always willing to help each other in any binding issue.
Without going any further, anyone can search in their Facebook groups that say “Bitcoin X country” and it will pop up some group with no less than 30,000 people, with lots of information about how to join the world, what it is, how it works. Even as a total newbie, you can ask questions and many people will want to help you (others will try to take advantage of you, but the important thing is to trust those who really want to help, supported by nothing more and nothing less than the internet).
Crypto has brought to the world a digital community capable of developing technologies never thought of before, with a level of innovation very difficult to reach in real life. What happened is that it brought together very talented people from many places in the world, passionate about the same subject. The result is the integration of all these people with a single goal, and many different approaches. Today there are projects in the community ranging from creating life insurance companies, to buying and selling real estate through smart contracts.
I don’t want to forget to mention the community behind DeFi, which is very important when deciding where to make a smart investment and where not to. It is key to understand how APRs and APIs work, to find opportunities and above all, to retire on time.
What’s great about communities is that they inspire you to participate, to get involved, it’s genuine and there is no reward. It goes without saying that one’s question can help many, and explaining and helping others is a way to learn and lock in knowledge.
When looking for communities, my main source is Twitter. On Twitter there are thousands of accounts dedicated to help, that later go into Discord or Telegram groups. I recommend not to stop participating in one!
