I've built a tool that keeps track of the activity of top30 crypto coins on Reddit and Twitter. Looking for some feedback!

Interesting! How is the Twitter data analysed? I see some patterns there?
wiemee
Counted based on tags from their Streaming API

Would be cool to add sentiment analysis to this.

Also, would be cool to have an api and/or historical data.

I've been looking at a way to build a crypto trading bot based on sentiment analysis as well as price movement.

Yes, that's my next step. If you check out the Ripple or Litecoin graphs you can see that there's already a pattern. But having a sentiment analysis would abosulutely make it even better!

you should offer a free account to collect emails. maybe track one coin for free. with a daily highlight email or something.

Thanks, will think about that!

I don't understand what the time scale is here. Bitcoin is down by 18% ... over what?
wiemee
The percentages on the homepage are the last hour compared to the hour before.

More activity means more people posting memes, fake rumors and "to the moon" kind of stuff. Do not underestimate human stupidity.

Can you share some insight into how you are counting mentions of coins on Reddit? For example, the coin Golem has the potential for overlap with the character Golem in Lord of the Rings. Are you browsing a pre-set number of subreddits?

Likewise would love some clarity on how you're collecting twitter stream data and properly tagging the data to a respective coin--are you using preset tags?

Would love to see an API endpoint for this type of thing. Kudos!
