Decoding Cryptocurrencies through Visualization

Cryptocurrencies have since inception been very cryptic, and while people see huge potential in the space (with good reason), investing in these tokens has been a challenge to understand. What makes one token more valuable than the other, where can people seek information to understand which token is worth the investment, and what is the makeup of a good crypto portfolio? To understand these markets we are going to deep dive into the data through interactive visualizations, and with the help of these visuals, share a story on what we think are key performance indicators in this space. This workshop is the culmination of the two most trending topics in the world today, and not one you should miss!

Topics covered:

• Price and Volume Trends
• Regulations and Risks
• Analytics for Cryptocurrencies
• Visualization Biases
