Crypto Twitter will never die because it's the only community where lore still matters. Post a kingmaker trade, ride a 1000x position, it stays with you forever
In fact it doesn't even matter what you do. As long as you do something that makes it impossible for someone not to share. You could even disappear for years and people will still remember you as "one of the main characters of October 2024"
Nowhere else does this happen. Go to any other corner of this app and the majority is just trying to compete with one another for cheap engagement from random eyeballs. Tweet goes viral? Few days later and 99% of the people who saw it won't even be able to recognize your username. Onto the next "banger" to consooom
Basically said another way is that despite the algo promoting the wrong incentives and ruining the experience for everyone, CT still remains the least affected by it. The $1m PnL guy isn't showing up on the FYP anymore, but you're still going to his actual profile often to see what he's posting. If the early AI trade guy hasn't posted in a week, he actually has real estate in your head and you're wondering what he's up to
And it's because the community still cares more about asking "who can do the most interesting things that we simply cannot ignore? What can I do and how can I create that lore to be one of them?" while the rest of the app has completely shifted to "how can I engineer the most attention without needing to do anything interesting?"
