For starters, in this digital currency world, digital media is a major lifeline. So much so where it is safe to say that the ecosystem’s ‘reach’ would be indicative of it’s potential market size and strength.
Although I am not pointing to any direct correlation (however uncanny it may be), it is interesting to observe my social media and traffic analytics move upwards and downwards alongside the price of bitcoin.
Also, it has become very apparent that ICO marketing strategies and ‘Hype Scores’ have become defining metrics of crowdfunding campaigns for new tokens.
Another reason leading me to believe that it is our overall activity online, specifically social, that propels the blockchain.
So I decided to take a look at the rest of the blogs online to see where we all stand together in this crusade towards mass adoption of cryptocurrencies.
Note that many blogs are new, coinciding with the infancy of the ecosystem, and so more data needs to be collected before they can be properly ranked in terms of site traffic. Cryptonicles is only 5 months old at the time of this writing, for example. Give us some time, we’ll get there.
Also, if I’ve missed anything in the top 51, my apologies in advance. Just email me and I’ll fix it.
For rankings, in regards to website traffic volume, the margin of error, at lower ranks is greater, as well as constantly changing as blog owners figure out the best way to share their stories.
In other words, rankings are more clear cut towards the top.
This makes Twitter an additional important indicator of blog and community strength, the loudspeaker microphone of the crypto world serves as a pulse of the blockchain. Some blogs may have just started, but may also be very active on Twitter, thats how we wedged in with Cryptonicles, thanks for levelling the playing field Jack.
I’ve also included links to available contact information for each site just in case you wanted to reach out to them yourself.
I will try to come back to this piece and update it when I can. Or perhaps do a top 101 six months from now to see how things have changed.
But for now, these are the top 51 cryptocurrency and blockchain blogs/websites, ranked by Twitter following and user traffic in June of 2018.
We can all help the entire ecosystem grow.
