reddit user flairs
On
reddit, users can set their "flair", a styled piece of text next to their name. For the /r/BitcoinMarkets community in particular, users set their flairs to Bullish or Bearish, depending on what their outlook is for Bitcoin. The goal of this sub-project is to determine whether the combined wisdom of these flairs can serve as a useful predictor for the price of a bitcoin. To encourage usage of the flair system, users are ranked below based on their performance in "the flair game."
