Founder Jeremy Born was sick of missing out on trade opportunities. He posited if we bring all the good crypto data & tools into one place, we can make sense of it w AI/ML, same as we have done for 5+ years in Fortune 500. He brought Data Scientists, Wall Street, Quant Traders and a bunch of Technology Geniuses together to solve this massive problem for all of crypto. With our data, you can know who to trust, who you absolutely shouldn't trust and surface the magic. You don't have to know how an engine works to drive to the store. Come join us and learn how to Trade Like a Genius.
Current Status
We have the team, the vision, the passion, the smarts and the capabilities to build this monster. We are revamping the frontend experience to differentiate our user experience from any competitor.
We have built predictions and cool quantifiable metrics & products that are proprietary to CoinGenius.
We have identified data and service partnerships to bring into our community. We have verbal agreements in place with some of the top disruptors and transparency providers that have ever existed for crypto.
The community of 40 million + Traders & Miners who have heard our vision for the past year are SALIVATING for these products.
Only 2 on the team are full time. It's hard to find geniuses who aren't already employed by geniuses.
Investment would allow us to develop much quicker and bring some of the team on full time, plus operational & marketing runway.
Market
All crypto traders & miners at every level. Anyone considering to enter the crypto space.
Traders from complicated Wall Street HFT/Algo strategies to Passive Investment Vehicles gaining 8-20% returns without much effort.
Miners care if they need an ASIC, GPU, laptop or Cell phone to be able to mine plus market regime responses, we give them what they need in real-time so they can switch strategies and gain the highest ROI.
Short answer, everyone needs to understand this space better so they can make some money.
Problem or Opportunity
There's 40m+ wallet users trading $35-50 BILLION each day. Market Cap is up $60 BILLION dollars from 8 weeks ago. That's not even counting the mining communities.
Crypto is here. And it's confusing. It's like a 24/7 Wall Street, but global. Sentiment varies from day to day, region to region and you need someone to make sense of it all. Someone to identify fraud & bad actors, to leverage cool math nerd stuff to make it easy for anyone to understand. You have to understand the full global landscape in real time to make educated decisions around trading or mining.
People don't want another dashboard. They want someone to surface the magic and hit the mute button on the things they don't care about. They want a curated experience based on their needs, not a blanket solution.
Wall Street & others would move into this market if they had the same tools & regulations they are used to dealing with.
