tl;dr: (skip to “Trending Cryptos”, sorry that this one's a little late this week)
INTROI’ve been following the posts on the r/cryptocurrency and r/altcoin subreddits diligently, and have been able to make some good crypto investments from all the shilling, discussion, and even fud that happens there!
I don’t have enough time to read everything and constantly check the reddit app, but I still don’t want to miss out on opportunities that come from a crypto being talked a lot about on reddit.
So I developed a program for myself that collects data on the cryptos that are being talked about most (both in terms of number of posts, and total number of upvotes) on r/cryptocurrency and r/altcoin. I can quickly browse the headlines of the top posts it collects, as well as see at a glance which cryptos are “trending” or “buzzing” on the subreddits in the recent weeks. The program also pulls in Coinmarketcap API data, like current market cap and 7 day price change. Aggregating all this data automatically has saved me a lot of time and allowed me to focus my research efforts on the cryptos that I think could have the highest potential e.g. low market cap, recently “buzzing” cryptos on r/cryptocurrency and r/altcoin.
I’ve decided to share the outputs of my program, as well as some highlights I’ve written, for the benefit of bitcointalk (and may do so periodically). Let me know if you have any feedback, questions, or suggestions, always looking to improve and share more interesting data here!
TRENDING CRYPTOSHighlights:1.
BitConnect lost almost all its value this past week, with a large increase in the number of posts, and the popularity of those posts, about it. BitConnect's increase in buzz is almost entirely attributable to the community pouncing on it for being a scam / pyramid scheme.
2.
COSS and
Aigang were lower market cap coins that fell in price, but experienced a modest increase in buzz. Some continue to remain optimistic about the prospects of COSS, and there have been several posts reviewing Aigang as more and more people learn about it.
3.
NEO was the only coin to have an increase in price this past week. Buzz for NEO is still remaining steady, at the top of the list in terms of both post count and score/popularity.
(inf means infinity, which occurs when a number is divided by zero i.e. a week over week change number is calculated when the week before last week had a zero value)
