What is Discord? - Crypto in Plain English - Episode 260 - by cryptohunt.it

What is Discord?

Welcome to the Cryptohunt Jam, where we spend one minute a day to explain crypto. In plain English. My name is Christian Byza, Co-Founder of Cryptohunt.it and I am your host of this daily show.

It seems that almost all the crypto insiders are hanging out on Discord. But what is Discord and why is everyone there?

Discord is a messaging app where communities of all kinds can connect with each other in real-time. What makes Discord special is that chats don’t just happen in one place, they are split across so-called “channels”.

Think of it like a house party. Different groups of people are in different rooms, and each group has their own topic of conversation. At a Discord-style crypto house party, people in the kitchen would talk about NFTs and those in the living room about the recent market crash.

Discord communities are usually open for anyone to join. Unfortunately, that also means they are full of scammers. They will pretend to have an amazing investment opportunity, be there to help you figure out how to use a wallet, or impersonate someone. You should simply assume that you can trust noone - it’s really that bad unfortunately.

Sounds intimidating? We agree, and that’s why we built cryptohunt, a trusted source of crypto knowledge. But if you want to dive deep into the world of Discords, stay safe - and check out our course: “How to buy, sell, and hold crypto”. You’ll learn all about how to keep your crypto safe for the long run. As always, it’s completely free.
