Basics
- Social platform on which many of the developers and other prominent crypto people share and discus their ideas. Sadly also a place where many block each other. Aka Crypto Twitter (CT).
- As FlatOutCrypto put it (23-10-2019):
"Where else will you find a forum where leading devs combine with VCs with millions at their disposal to discuss all the concepts you likely won’t understand anyway? Who is on there?
In fairness, most people you should want to listen to. You just have to very selective in discovering who the right people are to follow. Follow liberally but unfollow, mute and block even more liberally. And most importantly, listen to the sceptics, the consistently honest, and those who call out bad practices. These are the most valuable people around."
