Why You Seem To Be Stagnant In Your Crypto Journey: The Changes To Make.
“Emmanuel, I don’t understand again, this my crypto journey is just on and off. Today I am buying this coin, the next day I am into NFTs, a month later I have jumped into trading. How do I get focused in this space?”
When I hear questions like this, my next reply is always, do you belong to any crypto or blockchain community? And in most cases the answer is always NO.
The blockchain industry is so vast, with so many areas to specialize. If you are not careful you will be caught in the hype and not achieve anything.
What I have come to understand and appreciate in recent time is the power and benefit of belonging to a blockchain community.
People seems not to understand the power of belonging to a community of like minds. They tends to undermine what they could achieve having likes mind around. In fact, this is not limited to crypto alone. No matter your area of specialization, having access to to a viable community helps you to remain focused and be updated with happenings in that niche.

Because blockchain and crypto are digital, most of these communities are usually present on social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Reedit, Discord, etc. These platform allow community members to interact, network and share ideas. Sometimes, community activities goes offline. Events and meet ups are organized to improve community bonding, networking and launch of a community project.
