Since the cryptocurrency market is almost entirely speculative, public sentiment is the biggest driver of price. So I decided to do a meta analysis of recent youtube videos to try and get an idea of where the buzz is.
Each video will be weighted by the number of views (I'll also include how many videos each was in, as one video had as many views as the rest combined).
I'm using only videos with at least 1k views that were posted within the last month.
Scroll to the bottom for the weighted scores of all coins mentioned.
