I heard about BBS on the YouTube channel of Crypto Banter.

Clicking on the link in YouTube took me to the Banter community in BBS.

Looking around the communities in BBS, I found that Banter and Metabbs is by far the largest Communities in BBS. Naturally, I joined Metabbs as well.

Since I joined BBS because of Cryptocurrencies, I looked for other 2 other crypto based communities to join.

Why 2 more?

Crypto Banter is a Large community.

In addition to Banter, I  wanted to join a Mid sized crypto community and a Small sized crypto community.

Being a member of a S sized, M sized and L sized communities will allow me the opportunity to gauge the pro and cons of the communities of the 3 sizes.

Refering to the communities as fish tanks, I wrote a post on what is the ideal sized fish tank.

The version of the post about fish tanks that I posted in Banter is here.

So what is the ideal sized fish tank?

There is no single answer of an ideal fish tank that is ideal for everyone.

What is ideal depends on why we want to get into the fish tank ie. Our purpose for going there or what we want to do there.

Another crucial factor that will determine the ideal fish tank for us is the type๐ŸŸ๐Ÿฆˆ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿก๐Ÿณ of fish we are.

Actually it is how big a ๐ŸŸ we are. Big fishes like ๐Ÿฆˆ๐Ÿณ will not fit into small tanks and small fishes ๐ŸŸ๐Ÿ  will not do well in huge tanks that have big fishes.

CryptoSML is a respected member of the BBS community.

In one of the posts I made, I said that the SML in his name stand for Small Medium Large. So CryptoSML is a person who likes Small cryptos, Medium cryptos and Large cryptos. In other words he likes all types of cryptos.

I am not wrong in saying that or am I, CryptoSML?

What similarities or differences did I find in the 2 huge communities?

The similarity is that there are ๐Ÿ—ป๐Ÿ—ป๐Ÿ—ป in both communities.

These ๐Ÿ—ป๐Ÿ—ป are very noticeable and ๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ซ like to go to the ๐Ÿ—ป๐Ÿ—ป. 

The ๐Ÿ—ป๐Ÿ—ป are the famous people or giants in BBS. These ๐Ÿ—ป๐Ÿ—ป have a lot of followers, their posts ๐Ÿ“‹ sell well and reach high prices. Their ๐Ÿ“‹ also get a lot of impressions.

As for me, I am an unknown newbie. ๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ‘ฌ do not know me and do not bother to read my ๐Ÿ“‹ or to comment ๐Ÿ“ on my posts ๐Ÿ“‹.

๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ‘ฌ also hardly buy my ๐Ÿ“‹ so the ๐Ÿ“‹ struggle to get a price above 1 unit of Community Currency.

I felt like a ๐Ÿ› that the ๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ซ in BBS do not pay attention to.

If ๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ‘ฌ and ๐Ÿ—ป๐Ÿ—ป will not come to ๐Ÿ›,  the ๐Ÿ› will have to go to the ๐Ÿ—ป๐Ÿ—ป with ๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ซ

So the ๐Ÿ› went to the ๐Ÿ“‹ of the ๐Ÿ—ป๐Ÿ—ป and made meaningful comments ๐Ÿ“ on the ๐Ÿ“‹ of the ๐Ÿ—ป๐Ÿ—ป

Since ๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ‘ฌ were already at those ๐Ÿ“‹, they also read the ๐Ÿ“ made by ๐Ÿ› on those posts.

Reading the meaningful ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ“ by ๐Ÿ› made ๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ซ realise that the ๐Ÿ› was not an empty vessel. The ๐Ÿ› has interesting things to say and so they started to check out the ๐Ÿ“‹ made by ๐Ÿ›

By engaging on the ๐Ÿ“‹ of ๐Ÿ—ป๐Ÿ—ป, ๐Ÿ› gained recognition. The ๐Ÿ“‹ of ๐Ÿ› received more impressions and ๐Ÿ“. ๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ‘ฌ were also more willing to buy the ๐Ÿ“‹ of ๐Ÿ›

By going ๐Ÿ—ป๐Ÿ—ป climbing , singing songs (ie. Making ๐Ÿ“) on the ๐Ÿ“‹ of the ๐Ÿ—ป๐Ÿ—ป, the ๐Ÿ› was became noticed by ๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ซ and started to fly instead of crawl. So the ๐Ÿ› became a ๐Ÿฆ‹

What is the difference between Banter and Metabbs?

The ๐Ÿ—ป๐Ÿ—ป effect or cliques in Banter is stronger than in Metabbs. The followers of the ๐Ÿ—ป๐Ÿ—ป in Banter are very loyal to the ๐Ÿ—ป๐Ÿ—ป

Going ๐Ÿ—ป๐Ÿ—ป climbing in Metabbs allowed ๐Ÿ› to become ๐Ÿฆ‹ in Metabbs but not in Banter.

So what could ๐Ÿ›do in Banter?  Banter has so many experts in crypto that ๐Ÿ› cannot compete against.

๐Ÿ›became a ๐Ÿคก on the ๐Ÿ—ป๐Ÿ—ป of Banter and made funny ๐Ÿ“ or poke fun at ๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ‘ฌ

Apparently Banters ๐Ÿงก the antics of the ๐Ÿคก and so the ๐Ÿ“‹ of the ๐Ÿ› turned ๐Ÿคก started to do better. In this way the ๐Ÿ› also became a ๐Ÿฆ‹ in Banter.

๐Ÿ›๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿคก hope that you enjoyed our story.

Thank you for reading this ๐Ÿ“‹

Oh by the way, one day the ๐Ÿคก who dreams that he can fly fell down and died

Please go to the "Eulogies" channel of the BBS mentioned in the above post and make a eulogy for ๐Ÿคก.

If you post the eulogy in the channel, ๐Ÿคก can enjoy reading your eulogy. If you make an eulogy after ๐Ÿคก died, ๐Ÿคก will be in the โšฐ๏ธ and cannot read your eulogy ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

So please make the eulogy for ๐Ÿคก to enjoy reading 

Thank you
