I am a sucker for strong, friendly, open and supportive communities. Once I'm sucked into one, I'm all like, "Shut up and take my money"!!!
So, why haven't I bought any PIVX yet?
Well before getting into that I want to talk about what makes the PIVX community so unique.
The only reason I joined the PIVX Slack chat was because I heard on Reddit that their community was unrivalled among cryptoccurrency communities. I decided to find out what the fuss was all about and after just a few days of being part of their Slack chat, I have discovered some key points as to what makes them so special. I think I am in a position to compare their Slack chat to others since I have joined at least 10 crypto Slack chats of various cryptocurrencies that I'm invested/interested in.
Probably the most unique feature of their Slack community is the friendly welcome you get as can be seen in the picture below (join their Slack community to see the whole welcome message)
It's so simple yet I haven't seen anything like it yet, have you?
Next there is the automated message which come up every time a new member joins the community:
Takes almost no work from PIVX yet what this leads to is people within the Slack saying "hi, welcome" or "nice to meet you". Just another thing to make you feel **warm and welcome. **
Finally there is the free money you get from being an ambassador. After sharing my Steemit post (link below) listing the Top Long Term Value Coins To Invest In According To Experts (link below) in their Slack chat, they offered me 0.11 PIVX and while that isn't a lot of money, it was the gesture that counted. It made me feel appreciated. Furthermore PIVX was only one of many other recommended cryptocurrencies to invest in as can find out here:

They are also the first cryptocurrency I've seen who post YouTube videos where you feel like you are hearing from a normal person instead of simply a representative of the company:

So why didn't I invest in PIVX yet? Warning: the answer is going to be an anticlimax. :D
The reason is simply that I joined their community after the market crash and their price was steadily rising so I am waiting for the next dip. But I'm definitely investing!
For those interested, here is their website: http://www.pivx.org/
In conclusion I have a lot of faith in this company because in the end it's not ideas or companies that make money, it's the people behind them.
Let me know which crypto communities you've most enjoyed being a part of. Is Steem your favourite, if so why? It's probably mine :)
Disclaimer: I am not recommending that YOU invest in PIVX, I am merely giving my opinion on why I will some time down the road. Always do your due diligence before investing money.
