Session #3

Apr 20, 2025

New 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.

Detailed Cryptocurrency Discussions:

    • Over 1 million followers, 74,000 token holders.

    • Multiple revenue streams (six verticals), providing resilience to market fluctuations.

  • Concerns:

    • Potential risk from spreading across too many verticals.
