Welcome to the Crypto World. I'll be your guide.

Before you read: Let me know in the comments how many grammatical errors you've found. I'll invest that amount in steemcoins, just because I think this site is amazing and deserves our support.

Ok listen, this won't be a planned out article and you'll find a lot of gramatically and factual errors. I won't shill you a coin, a whitepaper or any projects of sorts. I also won't spread fud or point fingers.

Hovewer, I will try to change your mind. I will make a case why it's YOUR responsability to fix the horrid tribalism issue that we face today. It's hurting everyone and we all are at fault.

Why me? Well, that's kind of the problem, isn't it? Why does this problem exist in the first place? There is no clear answer, but every solution I can think of starts with all of us starting to work on the way we communicate and organize.

Today most of us are using platforms like steemit, reddit, twitter and discord to discuss, shill and fudding our favourite topic: Cryptocurrency. These plattforms inherently engourage the amplification of one opinion. ONLY one. It doesn't matter how much we try to justify this, it's just how these platforms are designed. A consensus (opinion) is reached and a critical mass of people will support this opinion. On the other side of the argument we have people who feel opressed and start to panic. At this point most people get emotional. No factual discussion will change their opinion on the issue at hand. And even if the majority is proven wrong, nobody will admit that they were wrong and the topic remains "controversial". Rinse and repeat.

So where did we go wrong? To be honest, nowhere. This is absolutely normal behaviour. There is nothing we can change about this, ever.

Shitty conclusion you think? I'm not finished yet.

The problem is NOT tribalism, it's how we reach the point where our monkey brain takes over. The fact that we would rather lose out on an opportunity than admit that we are wrong and maybe learn something or even grow our portfolios worth is hillarious.

So what can we do? Nothing that hasn't been said before. Hold yourself to the highest standard, but do the same for other people online. Conflict is not a bad thing. Call people out, but if someone calls you out be the bigger person and dig for the truth. Stay classy, don't start flaming and speak only on topics that you actually understand. If you keep in mind that just because the newest flavour of the weekly shillcoin is on some sort of a frontpage doesn't devalue your investment or your idea of a perfect solution, you will start to relax and you will start to be more open and flexible to regocnize new opportunities. You will notice a measurable change.

Do you know where the fundamental value of a coin comes from? Markets? Nope. Users shilling? Think again.

The value comes from actual use cases. Implementation, adoption and the dev team is more important than any group of people. What we are trading against today is potential. If your favourite coin still exists in 10 years the chances are good that it has a great tech and an actual use case behind it and not an army of shills.

Contrary to what you might believe, social media platform will have no long term impact on investments.

And if you are a daytrader, you might want to invest in a cristal ball and call it a day.

Cheers
