Want real-time market intel? Social media platforms deliver it instantly. Traditional news outlets? They're playing catch-up—lagging by hours, sometimes entire days. Often they don't cover it at all. For crypto traders and Web3 enthusiasts tracking fast-moving developments, this speed gap makes all the difference.

Social media is indeed fast, but do you know how much false information is mixed in with all that raw data... Relying on this to make trades is just suicidal.

Really, social media speed is incredible, and traditional media has already fallen behind. Our crypto circle has long been relying on Twitter groups to get by.

That's why I keep lurking on Twitter and Telegram—mainstream media is already outdated.

Social media is indeed fast, but the authenticity of information is hard to discern. A bunch of influencers set the tone to manipulate and profit, which can be more deceptive than traditional media.

Social media is the real battlefield for information; traditional media methods are already outdated, and the crypto world can't wait for them to catch up.

Social media quick updates have already outpaced traditional media, but fake information is flying as well; you need to discern it yourself.

That's why I scroll through Twitter every day instead of reading the news. Traditional media is really too slow; the crypto world changes in the blink of an eye.

Social media speed crushes traditional media, we've known that for a long time, but can you really make money just by relying on this?

ngl the opportunity cost of waiting for cnn to catch up is absolutely catastrophic—we're talking basis points that compound into serious capital utilization gaps. seen too many thesis validations get front-run by the time mainstream picks it up lol
