Bitcoin continues to grow on social platforms
Notably, social media sites such as Reddit are now essential in facilitating talks about cryptocurrencies, prompted by their lack of mainstream acceptance in the past.
In particular, Bitcoin’s subreddit community continues to grow in popularity as the world’s original cryptocurrency, with more users joining every day.
Data acquired by Finbold indicated that the Bitcoin subreddit had attained 3.05 million subscribers to rank as the 113th subreddit globally as of June 8, 2021.
The Bitcoin subreddit is a forum for discussion about the digital currency, with users exchanging cryptocurrency news and investing methods, among other things. While some of the forum entries are very subjective and opinionated, they do assist the crypto community in gaining an understanding of overall market sentiment.
SHIB is the 4th most followed crypto on Twitter
After attracting widespread attention in recent months, SHIB is presently the fourth most popular cryptocurrency globally on Twitter, with 2.3 million followers. In contrast, Bitcoin is second on the list with 3.9 million followers.
As demonstrated by the rise in popularity of Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu on social platforms, an increasing online following might well be a significant indicator of a project’s or currency’s success.
