How to Build a Quality Feed

1. Start with a small list — follow 20-30 quality accounts, not hundreds
2. Use Twitter Lists — create separate lists for news, education, trading
3. Mute/block aggressively — remove noise and spam immediately
4. Disable engagement bait: Turn off "For You" and use "Following" feed
5. Check bios and history — new accounts with large followings may be bots or bought accounts

Red Flags on Crypto Twitter

• "DM me for alpha" — almost always a scam or paid group shill
• Accounts that only post about one token — likely paid promoters
• "Copy my wallet for easy gains" — set up to front-run followers
• Fake verified accounts — impersonators of real influencers
• Giveaway scams: "Retweet and DM to win 1 BTC" — always fake
• Anonymous accounts with huge claims — no accountability

Staying Safe on Crypto Twitter

• Never click links from unknown accounts
• Don't connect your wallet to links shared on Twitter without verification
• Verify information from multiple sources
• Remember: Even reputable accounts can be hacked
• Turn off DMs from unknown accounts — most DMs are scams

Using Twitter for Research

Twitter is excellent for crypto research when used properly:

• Follow official project accounts for announcements
• Search for token tickers ($BTC, $ETH) to gauge sentiment
• Look for founders and developers of projects you're researching
• Read long-form threads (search "1/ [topic]" for thread-style analysis)
• Use advanced search to find historical discussions about a project

Beyond Twitter: Other Platforms

• Farcaster: Decentralized social network popular with crypto-native users
• Lens Protocol: Decentralized social graph on Polygon
• Discord: Project-specific communities and alpha groups
• Telegram: News channels and trading groups (be very cautious)

Sri Lanka Context

• Follow accounts that discuss remittances, emerging markets, and Asian crypto markets
• Search for Sri Lankan crypto communities and local creators
• Be extra cautious of accounts targeting developing markets with "guaranteed return" schemes
• Twitter/X is accessible in Sri Lanka and is the primary real-time crypto information source
