It’s no secret that I love this crypto sub. But let’s be honest, there are some things we need to work on. After spending some time on Twitter today, I was totally turned off by the crypto community’s incessant need to constantly push their political views. Whether it’s about Trump getting arrested, Biden taking over zombie cities, or anti-wokeness, it’s like the crypto world can’t help but insert their political beliefs into every conversation. I’m in a Telegram group for crypto and it’s the same story there – some guy keeps posting stuff about how the vaccines are a scam. People can believe what they want, I really don’t care. Everyone has their own beliefs and I respect that. But I didn’t join the crypto space to hear people’s political views; I joined to talk and learn about crypto stuff. We live in a world where politics are always on the news and it’s easy to get caught up in the drama. Crypto should be a safe haven from all of that.
What really stands out to me on this sub is how good everyone is at keeping the conversation focused on crypto-related topics. Political posts are few and far between and usually it’s just a general “fuck the government” sentiment which I can get behind. Today I realized that this sub is one of the few places in the crypto world where you can have conversations about crypto without getting bombarded with political views from other people.
