A message to newcomers. What this subreddit is and what it is not.

First of all I want to welcome new members to this subreddit. I personally am elated seeing so much interest and willingness to learn more about crypto.
Sadly, I also see an influx of posts that break the rules of this subreddit (usually they are quickly removed by automods and mods) or run counter to the spirit of it. There are some things you should understand about CryptoCurrency:

1. We do not pump coins. Screenshots of graphs with rocket emojis do not really contribute anything useful. If you want to celebrate your favorite coin, there is a subreddit dedicated to it.
2. Nobody knows what the next big winner will be. The vast majority of this subreddit is focused on finding good projects and one of the first things you will hear here over and over is "don't chase the pump". Cryptomoonshots would be the right sub to gamble.
3. 300% in a week is not a normal return, even in crypto. If you get used to it, talking about fundamentals and potential long term growth can feel "boring" but it is the right thing to do if you want to secure your gains.
4. I've learned a ton about crypto markets and found some promising coins here. I feel more secure in my decisions and gained some perspective. This is the true value of this subreddit.
