Reddit is home to tons of communities focused on different parts of crypto. Some are focused on trading, others analyzing ICOs, while some are dedicated solely to a specific token. That’s the beauty of the platform because you can browse a variety of subreddits and learn a ton by spending a bit of time each day on the ones that interest you the most. Here are some of the best crypto subreddits to learn about crypto on the platform.

/r/altcoin

Member Count: 220K

Any crypto currency not called bitcoin is fair game here, with some of the more popular altcoins being Ethereum, Ripple and Stellar. Every year more tokens are created and many gain traction in the market, so there should be no shortage of content on /r/altcoin.

r/altcoin also discussed NFTs to a good extent. Honestly, anything that isn’t Bitcoin is part of the conversation here.

/r/CryptoCurrencyTrading

Member Count: 160K

Another trading-focused sub, this one is smaller so you’ll get a tighter-knit community. All coins are fair game here and it’s the perfect place to learn about trading strategies, digital exchanges, and crypto wallets. This subreddit is a bit more mature than the WallStreetBets-style communities popular on Reddit.

/r/Crypto_General

This is a general crypto discussion community, where you can really talk about anything. The community is a lot smaller so the quality of discussions is a bit higher.
