Social media’s grip on the crypto market is undeniable. Platforms like X drive hype, fear, and FOMO in real time—pushing prices up or down faster than any traditional news cycle. A single tweet from an influencer like Elon Musk can send Bitcoin or Dogecoin soaring (or crashing). Communities on Reddit and Telegram rally behind tokens, turning obscure projects into overnight sensations—remember GameStop? Same vibe. Sentiment analysis shows 80% of crypto price swings tie back to social chatter. But it’s a double-edged sword: misinformation spreads just as fast, fueling pump-and-dumps. Love it or hate it, social media’s the pulse of crypto—for better or worse.
