Crypto people on X, through their work

Start with a question

A useful first work is a better starting point than a long list of names.

Read a claim more closely

Use the original material and figures to see what a claim actually establishes.

  • Open the original post

    Read when an X post was published from its link, strip sharing parameters and open the original. Compare its wording with the documents it cites.

    Tweet ID to date

  • Check the claimed change

    Calculate an increase from the original figures. Keep relative change separate from percentage points.

    Percentage change calculator

  • Test a price target

    Turn "it goes to $1" into the market cap it requires, using the token's circulating supply.

  • Open a transaction record

    Choose the network named by the source and build its explorer link. Read the record alongside the claim; a hash alone does not identify a person.
