Session #3
Apr 20, 2025New Cryptocurrency Analysis Website (Presented by Oskar):
- Oskar introduced a new website he's developing on Solberg Invest to provide real-time crypto market data via CoinGecko's API.
- The website will include detailed information about each cryptocurrency, as well as a unique scoring system based on risk, adoption, and potential returns.
- The team debated how best to represent risk scores clearly without misleading readers, suggesting possibly using a color-coded (high, medium, low) system instead of numerical rankings.
