CoinMinutes Perspective on Meaningful Digital Engagement

Most crypto platforms that are available online are broken in this way.

All of them are screaming but nobody is listening. There are influencers promoting coins which they do not understand. Bots are filling the comment sections with rocket emojis. People are sharing articles which they have not read.

It is very tiring.

The reason why we created CoinMinutes was because we could no longer stand this noise. The world of crypto would still be a complex one even if it were devoid of the faked excitement and the dramatization that is made up.

What We Mean by "Real Engagement"

Put likes aside for a moment. Don't think shares either. Don't think about all that stuff.

Real engagement is when someone didn't know something before and they learn it. When someone asks a question that makes everyone think harder. When someone shares a mistake he made so others can avoid it.

The Good Stuff

Imagine this: Someone posts about losing money in a DeFi protocol. Instead of people laughing at it or saying "DYOR," our community comes to the rescue with real help. They help to recognize how to spot contract red flags. Give a few tools for checking liquidity. Talk insurance options.

That's what we are looking for.

The Fake Stuff We Ignore

Those "Great insight!" comments you know, that obviously didn't look past the headline but the comment is there anyway? Or those accounts that drop the same generic reply to every post?

We don't count that stuff. It is worse than being inactive - it actually makes conversations harder to follow.

How CoinMinutes Builds Community

Basically, what we have figured out and what still works are human decent consistent approaches without anything fancy.

We Actually Answer Questions

If somebody asks us what staking is, we don't just give a link to the article and vanish, but the team takes care of the person asking, explaining the idea, giving the examples, and being available for the next questions.

It's not a process that can be carried out very quickly if you just have an automatic answering system. However, this is what builds trust. People come back because they know we'll help them understand difficult concepts.

We Share Our Mistakes

Do you recall the time when our founder was sure he was clever doing arbitrage between exchanges? In the end, he lost money on gas fees because he hadn't calculated them properly. We wrote about it.

Mistakes made visible make the audience better able to feel comfortable with asking "stupid" questions. Just so you know: there are no dumb questions in crypto. The topics can be difficult, but they just require better explanations.

We Connect Ideas Across Posts

One person asking about Bitcoin energy consumption in a thread. A couple of days later, we are talking about mining powered by renewable energy. We connect these talks as they are related.

Most of the platforms treat every post as if it was brand new and independent of other posts. But learning doesn't work that way. It is a process of understanding which is continuous.

What We've Learned About Content That Works

Not all kinds of discussions can be generated by content. Different experiments have been conducted by us and as a result, we now know the people who help the most have certain patterns.

Stories Beat Statistics

We could simply tell you that 80% of cryptocurrency projects fail within the first two years. Or, we could explain what happened to Terra Luna and why it had to collapse.

The first way is not as good as the second one. People remember stories. They can compare their own experiences with specific events. Abstract numbers are not memorable.

Questions Work Better Than Statements

Rather than saying "This is how DCA works," we ask "What is your DCA strategy and why did you choose it?" The answers are more educational for everyone than any article we could write.

Users share their logic, their errors, and their victories. Other readers get to know the real-life experiences instead of just theoretical ones.

Problems Need Solutions

We are not only highlighting the negatives of crypto. For every criticism, there are suggestions for improvement or ways to stay away from the issue.

Certainly, complaining is very simple. Giving people the tools to handle problems takes more time but it results in better discussions.

Most of the Engagement Metrics Are Just Garbage

Usually, the traditional social media metrics give you very little information about who actually learned something.

What Platforms Usually Track

• Total followers (mostly bots)

• Likes per post (users like without reading)

• Shares (most of the time without understanding)

• Comments (the quality differs a lot)

What CoinMinutes Cares About

We are different. How many people submit questions? We post, do discussions continue? People talking in other places, are they using our content?

Those signals give us the idea that we are really helping people to understand crypto better.

The Time Factor

Proper learning is time-consuming. One might read our DeFi explanator, think about it for a week, then come back with specific questions about the risks of yield farming.

We appreciate these thoughtful interactions that are delayed more than the instant reactions.

How CoinMinutes Helps Readers Navigate Crypto Topics

Building Conversations That Last

Many of our best community discussions have been ongoing for several months, and people continue to add new insights. This is the way we keep conversations alive.

We Don't Archive Everything

Most platforms archive old content, but we continue to make good discussions available. If someone had asked a brilliant question about smart contract security half a year ago, new community members can still find those questions and answers and learn from them.

We Update Our Takes

The world of crypto is very fast. When we get better knowledge of a topic, we revise our previous postings and notify what has changed. In this way, old content remains current and it is demonstrated that learning is continuous.

We Cross-Reference Everything

We make it very clear if, for instance, new rules affect something we have already talked about, and we link the pieces together. So, CoinMinutes readers obtain the complete picture rather than the separate parts.

The Real Impact of Better Engagement

What real impact could this have on the crypto community? The real impact is better engagement. And as the title infers, the real impact of better engagement is that more "real" -as in genuine- conversations take place between people about crypto.

Better Decision Making

Indeed. Decision making is definitely better when people take time to understand the projects themselves before jumping in. Also, one group of readers went through the process of research with teams and tokenomics, thus, they avoided scams entirely. Another set of people made their very first successful DeFi transactions simply because they understood the risks and took suitable precautions.

Reduced FOMO

Once they have understood the market mechanism of crypto trading, they buy and sell at fair prices and the fear of missing out is not there anymore. They decide based on their own research and risk tolerance which is better than following the latest trend blindly on Twitter.

Spreading Real Knowledge

Each person who gets knowledge and insight on crypto will share this knowledge with his or her friends and family members. Good education is like a virus which when it spreads becomes more people CoinMinutes readers thus they graduate to become educators in their own communities.

Conclusion

Each person on our team has made mistakes with crypto at some point. We have all been caught up in the hype at least once. Made losing money off of bad trades. Incorrectly understood how protocols operated.

Those events have become the factors that influence our team to connect with the community in a different way. We still recall the sensation of being confused and overwhelmed because of crypto complexity.

This is the reason why we spend time explaining things in a clear manner. Why if a person asks a basic question we don't judge them. Why along with giving technical explanations, we share our own learning experiences as well.

Coinminutes Cryptocurrency is here because we required such a resource during our initial period. Now, we are making it for everyone else who is looking to understand this field.
