Hi and Welcome!
Blockchain Technology will change literally all aspects of society, and crypto currency is like the "waste" product produced from blockchains, but as you well know I guess, its a beautiful ecosystem/cycle!
Its worth to get telegram and discord as these two are the apps that are used by crypto enthusiasts, and you learn alot from observing conversations on them.
Feel free to ask! Ill be on steemit more often these next 2 months :)
