  • Measures new subscribers to top crypto YouTubers

  • Major peaks aligned with price tops in 2021

  • Logs real-time changes in crypto education seekers

  1. Reddit Subreddit Posts

  • Tracks new posts made to key crypto subreddits

  • Local peaks corresponded to asset price highs

  • Proxies engagement from existing community

  1. X Follower Growth

  • Wide reach across experience levels

  1. Wikipedia Page Views

  • Logs views for "Cryptocurrency" page
