Like all cryptocurrencies, the majors are digital assets that secure and verify transactions using computer science and complex mathematics, known as cryptography. Unlike traditional (‘fiat’) currencies, they are not currently issued or backed by a central authority such as a government. Instead, they run across a network of computers and are underpinned by blockchain technology – a permanent record of transactions that cannot be altered without the consensus of the network.

For now, investors must continue waiting for an ETF that holds Bitcoin directly.
With cryptocurrencies often moving in tandem with Bitcoin, Ethereum was trading up nearly 11% on the last seven days after hitting a new record high of almost $5,000 on Tuesday morning.
Posts per day and new authors can be retrieved from each subreddit programmatically; each post is timestamped, so historical time series can be generated by iterating through the posts. Posts per day are used here rather than comments per day. Each post on Reddit can have a number of associated comments in a one-to-many type relationship. However, examples exist where huge numbers of comments are generated that are unrelated to market activity; for example, sometimes people give away small amounts of cryptocurrency to everyone who comments with their public blockchain wallet address; this causes a huge spike in comments (wavelet coherence between comments per day and price were also generated, but as was expected showed less significant relationships than posts per day and price).
