Inspiration

The researchers who wrote Correlating S&P 500 stocks with Twitter data found that there is a relationship between tweets and the value of S&P500 stock indicators.

Dogecoin just blew up. People must be googling Dogecoin. People must google Bitcoin before they buy it. Is there a relationship between searches for cryptocurrency and the price?

What it does

Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned

I learned to always believe in myself and that 3 AM is not too late to be coding.

What's next for this project

Will we ever actually transact using cryptocurrency?
