- ForEnglandJames 11y agoThis could be my next project. Thanks for the idea. This will be fun.
- brobinson 11y agoMaybe also consume Twitter's firehose and use some combination of frequency of mention + some kind of influencer score (e.g., "verified" accounts and accounts with lots of followers are more heavily weighted) to determine hype. I've been wanting to built a sentiment analysis system for trading for a while now.
- brobinson 11y agoBitcoin comes to mind here.
- puranjay 11y agoI almost made that mistake. I'd heard about it on Reddit way back when prices were $1/coin. Largely ignored it. Next I hear it, it's on TechCrunch. Then on HuffPo. I almost bought 10 coins at $500/coin. By the time it hit NYT, it was $1k/coin We all know how that story played out. Still kick myself for not buying like 10,000 of them at $1 though
- brobinson 11y agoI had been messing around with Bitcoin in late 2010, early 2011. I gave away the five bitcoins I had towards the end of 2011. :(
