Very neat UI. How you calculate the "impact on price" is still not clear to me.

I wanted to build something like this, will keep coming back to check on updates.

Edit: just read your response on the other question. Do you imagine this process of figuring out the impact on price to be semi-manual or calculated in some way rather than being subjected to public opinion?

I thought of that - calculate impact on price automatically, but then dropped the idea. I am not saying it is impossible, but there are just too many options. I think it is similar to trading bots - I have tried using bots for trading and there are so many times I wish bot sold or bought at particular point knowing what I know, etc. Another problem is multiple currencies, for example - when so many are predicting BTC/ETH flip. Some news may be positive for one currency and be negative for another. Which is why I decided that user votes should be best source once audience is big enough.
