Five cryptocurrencies that have won the most new followers in 2018

As we move into 2019 I wanted to share with you a little summary of the Top 5 cryptocurrencies with the fastest growth during the latest year. 🚀

All the data presented in this post comes from CoinMarketSocial maintained by 👨🏽‍🔬Ilyass, 👨🏼‍💻Adrien and 🕵🏻‍♂️me. We have been closely watching the social media accounts (Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and Telegram) of more than 2,200 cryptocurrencies since 2017 in order to uncover insights and provide transparency.

#5 CyberMiles +288k new followers

CyberMiles is the real surprise of this ranking. With a growth of 5,362% from 5,381 followers on January 1st to more than 293k followers on December 31st, this is the account with the highest percentage growth of the year 2018. CyberMiles provides a blockchain solutions for the E-commerce industry. They launched their Mainnet last October and promise to become a strong alternative to Ethereum, reaching 10,000 transactions per second. To be honest, I did not know this project before investigating our data set. CyberMiles has a Market Cap of $21M and is ranked at the 137th position on CMC.

Nevertheless, if you look more closely at its curve below, you will notice that the acquisition of the followers might not be organic but it is almost linear over two periods (from January to April and from June to July). It might let us think that CyberMiles spent part of its ICO funding on Twitter Ads to promote its account or used other methods to maintain a steady growth.
