Estimated survival rate

97%

of 620 recent r/CryptoCurrency posts we sampled were still publicly visible about a day later.

How this is measured

Estimate. We sample recent public posts and check again about 18 hours later to count how many are still publicly visible. Posts removed at the moment of submission never become publicly visible at all, so the true removal rate is at least this high. Last sampled Sep 5, 2026.

r/CryptoCurrency does not publish karma or account-age minimums in its rules. Subreddits often enforce unpublished filters on top of what they write down, which is why posts from new accounts can vanish without a message here.

Can you self-promote in r/CryptoCurrency?

No. r/CryptoCurrency bans self-promotion outright: product links, launch posts, and thinly framed feedback posts get removed. The sub's own wording: "Posting referral, promo links, or codes of any kind is strictly prohibited and will be met with a long-term or permanent ban.". If you want eyes on your project, contribute first and look for communities with a promo lane.

What gets removed in r/CryptoCurrency

  • Self-promotion

    r/CryptoCurrency bans self-promo outright. Product links, launch posts, and thinly framed "feedback" posts are removed.

  • Low karma or a new account

    r/CryptoCurrency publishes no karma or age minimum, but unpublished account filters are common at this size. New accounts should comment before posting.

  • Reddit's sitewide spam filter

    A separate layer before the subreddit ever sees your post. New accounts posting links, URL shorteners, and repeated domains are its favorite targets. Removals are instant and silent.

  • A shadowbanned account

    If the account itself is shadowbanned, every post looks live to you and invisible to everyone else, in any subreddit.

r/CryptoCurrency posting questions

Can I post links in r/CryptoCurrency?

Yes. r/CryptoCurrency accepts link posts. The usual sitewide traps still apply: URL shorteners, affiliate parameters, and brand-new domains get filtered fast, and promotional links are judged against the sub's self-promo rules. One clean link to the original source is the safe pattern.

Does r/CryptoCurrency require karma to post?

r/CryptoCurrency does not publish a karma minimum. That does not mean there is none: many subreddits enforce unpublished karma and account-age filters that remove posts silently. If your account is new or has little karma, that is the first thing to rule out when a post disappears.

Can you self-promote in r/CryptoCurrency?

No. r/CryptoCurrency bans self-promotion outright: product links, launch posts, and thinly framed feedback posts get removed. The sub's own wording: "Posting referral, promo links, or codes of any kind is strictly prohibited and will be met with a long-term or permanent ban.". If you want eyes on your project, contribute first and look for communities with a promo lane.

Is r/CryptoCurrency strict?

Moderate, by our estimate (27/100 on our strictness scale, from its measured removal rate, 10 rules, and its stated gates). About 3% of recent posts disappeared within a day in our sample. Strictness is about enforcement, not hostility: a strict sub is predictable if you follow its rules.

What is the best time to post in r/CryptoCurrency?

Based on our sample of recent and top posts, activity and scores peak around Tuesday 8pm UTC and Thursday 9pm UTC. Treat this as a starting point, not a guarantee: a post that breaks a rule gets removed at any hour. The heatmap on this page converts these windows to your local time.

Why do posts get removed in r/CryptoCurrency?

The most common reasons are self-promotion violations, plus the layers every subreddit has: Reddit's sitewide spam filter, unpublished AutoMod rules, and account-level gates like karma and age. In our recent sample, roughly 3% of r/CryptoCurrency posts disappeared within about a day of going up. Many removals are silent, so checking your draft first beats finding out after.

Stop getting silently removed.
