with the influx of new people finding themselves holders of cryptocurrencies thanks to the wonderful concepts of sites like steemit I feel it is important to be able to direct them to a crypto space that isn't just a bunch of anon/puppet accounts looking to prey on naive/unsuspecting investors like Bct forums have always mostly been .
Yes there is a lot of good people on Bct forums as well, but who is who? and how is a newb in the crypto realm supposed to be able to tell them apart?
I see many times on the Cryptocurrency Collectors Club (an awesome group on Facebook) people talking about "policing ourselves or the government will "try" to do it for us" and I 100% agree with them.
Some handy features I've found so far on Crypto-city are the Chatrooms with audio/video capabilities, forums, communities, events... it essentially feels like a crypto specific FB and is very user friendly, I could see it becoming very popular in time.
One of the best features of the site is it's FREE crypto/trading lessons... whether you're a newb with questions about how wallets work and how to use their features or you are a seasoned "swing trader" looking to improve your skills as a "day trader"
I spent over 2 hours the other day in a class and even tho I have been a crypto advocate for well into 3 years now I was still able to learn a lot and improve my trading skills a bit. (My full review is below)

So I thought it was the perfect place to host a BERNcash community, BERN is a long term project. It is a POW/POS hybrid with a real dev who doesn't hide behind anon accounts etc and will be supporting his project for years to come. We have over 500 users on our Facebook page hosted by the coins creator Steven Saxton and we will continue to grow over time.
If you're interested all link and info for BERN can be found in the infopages of the community below
