Digital Currency
Digital currency is currently taking over the whole world like wildfire. Anyone who hasn't tuned in to its channel will surely be left out in the nearest future.
From its inception (in 2009..bitcoin) till date, the number of cryptocurrencies till date has increased to over 7000 and more. This reason makes it difficult for crypto traders/merchants to monitor and make decisions on which cryptocurrency to trade.
This was why CoinGecko(a Singapore based crypto agreggator company ) came in (in 2014 )
But What Is CoinGecko ?
It is one the largest crypto data agreggator company which does genuine and critical analysis on cryptocurrencies ranging from bitcoin, altcoins to tokens. It tracks over 7698 cryptocurrencies from over 430 crypto exchange.
How Does CoinGecko Do This?
Firstly, it uses the normal market capitalization analysis of cryptocurrencies. This analysis is normally used to evaluate the worth of altcoins but it can be easily manipulated by premined coins.
Due to this, CoinGecko goes the extra miles of tracking the price volume so as to present a genuine analysis.
But asides that, CoinGecko does the complex work of tracking the community growths of these cryptocurrencies.
By this, it visits the different social media communities of these altcoins (like twitter, facebook reddit Uptrennd etc..) to evaluate the activities made on them by users and also checking the size of the community..
It also goes another extra mile by doing the project's code progress,open-source code development ,major events on them and on-chain metrics.
After all these rigorous processes, it goes ahead to give the fundamental analysis and ranking of the crypto market using the developer activity, the community and liquidity.
All these make it stand out as one of the best crypto agreggator companies (if not the best 😁😂)
