Greetings everyone, it is great to have you here. When it comes to financial markets no matter if it is a cryptocurrency market, stock market, forex, or any other one thing that is very common that excites the people the most and is also a very important factor for a pump and dump in the market is 'news'. Take the example of the recent time, when the US CPI numbers or any inflation number comes out you can see how to whole world market reacts to it. Take the example of one of the most popular cryptocurrencies out there, SHIBA INU, when a few months back the news came out that Shiba Inu is going to get listed on one of the most used exchanges out there "Robinhood" what happened?

There was a huge pump in Shib at that time and not just Shib but almost the whole meme coin market out there. You can see how news can affect the price of a crypto, stock, currency, or even the whole market. If you are in the crypto market you have to be completely aware of what is going on with the projects you have invested in and the main way of getting this is to have a regular source of information coming at you related to that project which keeps you updated with all the information and the news and this is the place where the,

Need for News platforms comes in.

There are 2 main ways through which I keep myself updated in the cryptocurrency market, One is the god house of cryptocurrencies TWITTER and the other one is Cointelegraph.

Cointelegraph

I do not think that I need to give you any information about Twitter. The main hub for crypto communities but the one limitation there is the word limit if anyone wants to share their thoughts in just a single post becomes tough and threads in many cases people become lazy to do that and that is why I am straight coming to Cointelegraph after discussing the demerits of Twitter.

https://cointelegraph.com/

I love this platform, you will find every kind of news here rather it is crypto or crypto-related even, NFTs or NFTs-related. This was founded in 2013 and has been now almost a decade since it is there in the world. The reason I love this?

The way the data gets presented here. What do I mean by that well that is simple if you go to their website and read their articles firstly the images or you can say the thumbnail they share is always mind-blowing not just a regular picture but rather very well edited and portrayed. Also, this thumbnail is the thing that first attracted me to this website. Another cool feature that they use is this one, have a look

Whenever they mention a cryptocurrency, they always shared like a button and if you hover your mouse over that then you will be getting little information about that currency's live price, market cap, and volume which might seem like a minor thing to many of you but this type of thing you will hardly find anywhere else and again these little things make a difference. This is one of the things I like here is the other one, thumbnails. Here I would be showing you some but you can check by going to the website itself and most of them are wonderful.



Amazing ain't that?

Remember all these photos are sourced to Cointelegraph, I am not having any rights to this. And again coming back to the topic, what is the main thing which a person comes to read in a news article or blog? News and data

The data presentation I have already said is great but how? You will find everything with graphs making it easier for normal people to read and understand. After every few lines or a paragraph, you will find an image summing up that paragraph by providing you with some data in logical places. Another is not disturbing pop-up advertisements. This is a very big problem these days with many websites that they put so many ads although doing that is not much wrong but when you make them pop up in the middle of articles then it irritates me a lot and thankful they understand this and they don't do it instead put their ads on the sides.

Anything bad?

I said ads do not disturb here but something else does which is their social handles bar on every article presented on the left here is a little example of that:

These handle links on the left side highlighted in a rectangle zone is what annoys me sometimes a lot because while scrolling down my hand sometimes gets clicked on this and the link takes me to the respective site although on a desktop there is not much such problem but still feels irritating on both the interfaces and the other bad thing is that they cannot be closed like if you see on websites there would be a cross button mostly which closes this sidebar but here there is no such option available.

Except this, I do not face any such problems using it throughout and I feel the type of thing they do could be ignored. Producing quality content at every moment possible with all the relevant data, great thumbnails, and many other things. They also share it on Twitter so from there you can see the topics they are posting and if you feel you could read more of this or want to then you can check out their respective article through that post.

Recently Telegram added a blockchain feature to their platform for bidding the names using the TON blockchain. It came just a few hours back and was announced a little while ago still you can already see their article on this explaining most of the things from a week ago before implementation like what I want to convey from this is that this is a reputable platform and trustable one. YOU WON'T FEEL YOU WASTED YOUR TIME VISITING THERE!

Other platforms

Twitter and Cointelegraph although are my favorite but there are many other platforms on which I see news, for example, the one I am typing on right now, LeoFinance. Here I have read a lot of articles particularly related to the HIVE blockchain which is not published anywhere else right now but as the HIVE will further grow in the future I hope we see HIVE news also regularly getting published including LeoFinance. If the LeoFinance team keeps working well we all will grow as a community. Bitcoin news and Bitcoin Magazine are some other platforms I read sometimes if the article matches my interest and therefore if I would like to read.

Thank you for going through the post and I hope you must have enjoyed reading through it and also might have attained value from it. Have fun with a phenomenal day ahead! SANJAM
