Cryptocurrency doesn’t like to be in the limelight, so it’s not that easy to reach that part of our world without being curious and attentive. What’s the best way to stay informed?

The interesting thing is that his tweets have a great impact on the market, that’s why even his one word can make the price go up or down.

Make sure you have several blogs you read daily, they should be popular among those who are totally into crypto, and another point to consider — a catchy design that will make it easier and enjoyable to follow the content.
Our own top 10 list includes the following blogs:

Closing thoughts
Aristotle once said — “Man is by nature a social animal”, and if you think about that thoroughly, you can agree with that statement. Maybe that is the purpose why we have so many social media platforms, why they are so diverse and unique, why we tend to immerse ourselves there and look for people who have the same interest as we have. Another point that matters is an opportunity to follow people who have already achieved a lot in the crypto sphere and can help you to overcome fears, doubts and sometimes even cheer up your mood with a silly but still hilarious meme.
