The 80/20 principle hits different in crypto trading communities. Here's how it actually works: you keep the 20% who are genuinely active, serious about trading, and contributing real value. The rest? Inactive members, bot accounts, scammers, and lurkers—they've gotta go. It sounds harsh, but this is how top-tier trading groups maintain quality. When you apply Pareto filtering, you're not just cutting numbers—you're creating an environment where the remaining 20% actually thrives. Higher signal-to-noise ratio, better discussions, real deal-making happens. And yeah, getting into that top 20% club? That's the tricky part. Only the serious ones make the cut. That's the game.
