What Is CrowdIFCrowdIF is a path-breaking, first-of-its-kind cryptocurrency trading platfrom which is capable of harnessing the power of the Collective Intelligence of the Crowd and includes it in a major way in its crypto-trading strategy. CrowdIF is the only crypto trading platform which is capable of objectively gathering something as abstract as market sentiment and quantify it. We call this quantified market sentiment - The SentimentScore. This is our secret rocket fuel.
As is widely known, market sentiment plays a vital role in defining the direction of crypto market movements. Capitalizing upon SentimentScore gives CrowdIF a superpower and allows it to consistently outperform market with better results than using the conventional techniques.
The Problem
New markets,
Old methods
The biggest problem today with most crypto trading entities both individual and institutional is trying to re-use strategy from stock markets in crypto markets.
Though this approach may work on-and-off, it's far from perfect. We strongly believe that using applying stock market strategy to crypto markets is NOT the best way forward.
That's because stock markets are fundamentally different from crypto markets in many ways
Fundamental differences between stock and cryptocurrency
- Stake ownership in Stock Markets vs. Token Ownership in Crypto Markets
- Much higher volatility of Crypto markets = Higher Profit Potential but neccesitates different strategy
- Asset Supply: Fixed (for most part) in crypto vs. Variable in stocks
- Differences in terms of trade fluidity
- Differences in trade fee and commissions (This can have a huge impact on strategy especially on zero fee exchanges in crypto)
NEW markets need
NEW methods
Studying the current crypto trading landscape makes it clear that there is a definite void here.
Very few, if any companies are focusing on building tools and strategy that's tailor-made for crypto trading. The need of the hour is to identify the subtle differences that make crypto trading unique and carve out tools that address this uniqueness. The need is a platform that takes advantage of these differences rather than being defeated by them
The SolutionWhat if there was a way to
PREDIT, with great
ACCURACY, the direction of crypto price movements for the coming few days and weeks? What would it take to build a platform like that?
It would take identifying the very fundamentals that make the crypto markets move.
Upon careful study, it becomes amply clear that unlike stock market, investor sentiment plays a very big role in deciding the direction of the price movement for any cryptocurrency.
A company's stock value is directly linked to the company's overall valuation, which in turn is a function of company fundamentals and the company's performance & products. For cryptocurrencies however, it's important to understand that the price of a particular coin is not directly linked to the valuation of the company behind it. Whereas stock markets rely more on company's performance, the crypto market is driven primarily by public sentiment.
Therefore, we decided to tap into the very foundation of cryptocurrency price movement - Market Sentiment.
