How this is counted

Every 15 minutes CryptoKeyhole reads the GDELT Project’s Global Knowledge Graph file and keeps the articles whose headline names crypto, Bitcoin, Ethereum or stablecoins; a piece about something else that mentions Bitcoin in passing does not count. Each kept article is then matched against a fixed list of subjects (from its headline) and of organisations, projects and coins (from its headline and the names GDELT found in it). An article can count for several subjects and names.

This week is the seven days up to the newest file read; the week before is the seven before that. Tone is GDELT’s score for the words of the article, averaged: above zero warmer than the average article, below zero colder. Most news sits a little below zero.

What people are looking up sets the latest published day of each coin’s and each big topic’s Wikipedia article against that article’s own average of the 28 days before, among articles with at least 200 readers a day.

Coverage and limits

  • This is a count of coverage, not a news feed: no headline, link or author is kept or shown.
  • GDELT follows online news worldwide, and this file holds English-language coverage. Crypto’s own trade press is only part of it, so the counts lean towards how mainstream outlets see crypto.
  • The counts are small: a subject’s rise from a handful of headlines to a dozen can be one story. Treat small numbers as a pointer, not a measure.
  • The list of subjects and names is ours and fixed, so a name that is not on it can’t appear; people are never counted, only organisations, projects and coins.
  • Wikipedia readership is a day behind: Wikimedia publishes a day once it has ended.

Questions

What is crypto news talking about this week?

Hacks and theft: 155 of the week’s 1,153 crypto headlines. The list above ranks every subject, with the change on the week before.

Where does this data come from?

The GDELT Project’s Global Knowledge Graph, a public feed of world news, read every 15 minutes, and Wikimedia’s public page-view data. CryptoKeyhole keeps counts only: no headline or link.

How is this different from a news feed?

It tells you how much was written and about what, not what was written. To read the stories, go to the outlets themselves.
