Coinspice: A Community, Family or Cult?

Coinspice: A Community, Family, or Cult?

Coinspice.io is an Internet News Source with an independent Telegram chat room

As many people know I am deeply embedded with the Telegram chatroom called Coinspice. I have been there since the great fork of Nov 2018. Maybe it is an addiction or maybe it is just a safe space where I can go to voice my opinions of Crypto and even life in general.

So why is Telegram chat so different or maybe I should be more specific by saying why is Coinspice chat so different than other Crypto chat rooms? Well, there are about 20 of us that have become so close I feel like I know more about them then my own family. We will have each other’s backs till the end of Crypto. Coinspice has become a place that I can vent about my crappy day of wage cucking along with the crazy things seen on Twitter about Crypto, it is a place where all are welcome and many are accepted. In Coinspice there are a few rules you must abide by but the number one rule that must be followed is don’t make chat un fun, if you can follow that number one rule your time there will be enjoyable and entertaining, to say the least. Cryptocurrency can be extremely stressful especially, Bitcoin Cash which is probably one of the most hated but yet most successful coins of all.

I discovered Coinspice completely by accident, I had already been on Telegram and in a few groups, but these groups were like a kindergarten level compared to Coinspice. The rules in these other groups were no talking about your personal life and only discuss their product and if deviated from they were always there to correct you. It was at the beginning of the hashwar and I was desperate to find a place where I could vent my frustrations, I basically had kept my mouth shut for the weeks leading up to the hashwar because I wanted to know others opinions but I had already made up my mind of which path I was going to follow, but needed assurances which was not found in the other Telegram groups, Memo.cash and even Twitter.

What I found in Coinspice was a breath of fresh air, others were talking about the same things I was feeling and they were expressing these thoughts out loud, and it is exactly what I wanted to do. I literally wanted to scream at my Twitter friends and it what was happening in Coinspice. I had lost friends in the war as so many did. But the people that took the road of SV who I considered my friends were not anymore. I was not about to put my money behind a man who vowed to destroy everything and everyone that stood in his way. This man sounded like a crazed lunatic to me and sounded the same to the members of Coinspice as well. They weren’t actually screaming at each other but they were screaming with each other, these guys were mad at what was happening and so was I. After all, no one wanted this fork but it would have been stupid if we didn’t think that it was going to happen. So here we all were, angry, disappointed and literally hemorrhaging money, but we were all in it and in it for the long haul. Not one of us wanted to give up and knew we were going to have a long road ahead of us to restore P2P cash.

Now, becoming a member of Coinspice was not as easy as just sharing the same feelings of disdain, it took weeks of constant shitposting and taking abuse, with constant questions assuring them I was not just trolling, which was actually very exhausting. I personally am not a developer, miner, meme maker and I don’t have a penis. But what I did have was qualities Coinspice was missing, I am older, an on border, enduser and it did help that I have boobs. I took a good amount of abuse in the beginning and was even asked by some of the others, why do you stay in here? Women actually Dm’d me telling me the admired the way I was able to hold my own against them. I think of it the same as we think of family, we may not always agree or even like each other but when someone attacks a family member you go to hell and back for that person whether you agree with them or not because well your family. And we had all seen hell and agreed we did not like it there. Then one day I saw my first Crypto Twitter follower in there and I knew this is where I needed to be so I dug my heels in. And even though he has read my stories I still don’t know if he knows that I am talking about him here.

Almost six months later I am one of them, and couldn’t be happier. On Twitter I have been screenshot, called names and bullied, but I have gained something that I wouldn’t change for the world. I found what I have been looking for so long in my life, people that have similar beliefs as I do Life, Liberty and Financial Freedom and the belief in P2P cash.

Now if you are thinking Coinspice might be the place for you I will tell you it is not for the weak at heart, and even though we have a BTC maximalist a SV troll they take a lot of abuse in there but are loved dearly and you must always remember the number one rule don’t make chat un fun.
