A coincidence! Hadn't seen that, but wish I had.

I run a cron job every minute that pulls in the latest trades from the Binance Smart Chain, and calculate the price of the token on every trade. If the coin posts two consecutive hours of > 10% price rise (and meets a certain volatility threshold), then I consider it trending.

Once it falls below certain price/volume thresholds, I assume it's passed it's best and it moves into 'recently trending'.

Haha, yes, it was unfortunate. Perhaps meme coins become the best means of making a good return during this bear era? I'm not holding my breath, we'll see :)

Thanks for the kind words. I think there is probably potential to do more here, but I don't know if I will. It takes a lot of work to get things off the ground, and I really only made this because it gave me lots of dopamine. Meme coins are fascinating and potentially lucrative, but not how I see myself spending much of my life

A feeling we've all had with our side-projects at one time or the other, I'm sure...
