💡 Background
NFTs are on the rise - Look at the Opensea transactional Volume: 2018: $473k 2019: $8M 2020: $24M 2021 (YTD): $3.4 Billion
There are huge opportunities to profit from this trend, but how to find the best projects? NFTs, Tokens, Coins, DAOs are not being valued in the same way we have been used to it for decades now. One decisive criterium has emerged: The community! Most projects have three important channels: Twitter, Discord, and a Website. Until now those sources are barely quantifiable. Your mission is to build a tool to change this - and enable a different perspective on investments. Among others, you could include variables such as Followers, Active Discord Members, Occurrence of buzzwords, Reach of the Founders,... ...participation of women?
