I'd say the major reason why crypto articles are so popular is because if you're part of steemit, you know and care about them. This means that posting about cryptos instantly gives you one of the largest audiences on the platform since it's a common interest of everyone.

If you go to places like YouTube or Facebook, crypto talk doesn't do so well since most people don't understand or even care about it.

I've personally discovered quite a few helpful tips and gained insight from some of the well written articles. However, there are a ton of "OMG OMG How low will Bitcoin go today" articles, that are just bullshit that we don't need here. I personally don't give a damn on the day to day of bitcoin or any crypto. I'm only interested in the long term viability of a crypto.

Here's a good way to look at short vs long term thinking: A lady takes her dog for a walk. The dog is zipping left and right and forward and back, sniffing here, running there, chasing a squirrel there, etc.

Tracking every motion the dog does is like looking at short term price volatility, but if you zoomed out, you'll see the dog stays within 40 feet of his master, and follows her as she walks SW at an average pace of 5 mph. The average pace of the walker will tell you where the dog will end up.

The moral of the story is, don't watch the dog, watch the master.
