Where. Do. You. Start. THAT's the question.
If you're planning to venture into the web3 or crypto space, you'll want to become part of the best crypto communities. In this article, we'll cover our favorite communities for newbies!
Why Should Beginners Join a Crypto Community?
As the crypto and web3 landscape continues to expand, the learning curve for newcomers grows steeper. Even the experts are always continuously learning! So, joining a crypto community is a great way to learn, share, and connect with others in the space.
Moreover, innovation thrives when people collaborate. Being part of a community provides you with different perspectives, a sounding board for your ideas, and emotional and mental support from peers.
Before joining a community, it's important to know that not every community is suitable for everyone. Some communities serve specific purposes, while others cater to more advanced individuals. As a beginner, you might want to consider joining the following types of crypto communities:
Discord
If you don't have a Discord account, you should stop here and go make one. The web3 industry thrives on Discord and if you're looking to hop into the industry - this should be your first step. Here are some communities that'd be fun to join:
- Metaintro - If you're looking for jobs in web3 and AI.
- The Hug - If you're into NFT's.
- DeveloperDAOÂ - If you're an engineer (or aspiring engineer).
- Krause House DAOÂ - If you're into sports and web3.
Crypto Twitter
You'll hear a lot of people talk about "crypto Twitter" or "CT" for short. There's no one right way of finding your way into the circle, but you'll know once you do. All you need to do to tap into the community is to follow a few different crypto companies or projects on Twitter and let the algorithm do the magic. Once you do, refresh your feed and you'll see new accounts pop onto your timeline talking about HODL'ing, moon'ing, and the latest drama with Binance.
Here's the ultimate list of who to follow in web3 (don't forget to follow us!). Or, If you're a developer - here are a bunch of web3 developers who know their sh*t that you should follow!
Crypto Education Platforms
Crypto education platforms can be invaluable tools when navigating the complex technological landscapes of crypto and web3. They provide an environment with like-minded individuals at various stages of the learning curve. As you learn, others are around to help when you get stuck because they have been where you've been.
For Instance, the web3 Academy is a great way to "jump down the rabbit hole".
