Screening Filters
turnover_24h >= 50,000,000
- Purpose: Select cryptocurrencies with very high trading activity and liquidity.
- Rationale:
- For a coin to “potentially replace Bitcoin,” it must already have meaningful adoption and be easy to trade in and out of.
- A 24‑hour turnover of at least $50M helps filter out illiquid, niche tokens and focuses on large, established networks where institutional and retail participants are both active.
- High liquidity also reduces the impact of slippage and market manipulation, which is important when evaluating serious contenders to Bitcoin.
year_price_change_pct >= -20
- Purpose: Exclude assets that have severely underperformed over the past year.
- Rationale:
- A coin that has collapsed in value is less likely to be seen as a credible long‑term alternative to Bitcoin.
- Allowing performance down to −20% recognizes that even strong projects can go through corrections in crypto’s volatility, but it cuts off the worst performers that may be losing relevance, trust, or developer/community support.
- This filter tries to keep candidates that have at least maintained some relative strength or stability, which is more consistent with a “replacement” narrative than a dying project.
is_trending = True
- Purpose: Focus on cryptocurrencies currently attracting attention and discussion.
- Rationale:
- For any coin to “potentially replace Bitcoin,” it needs momentum in mindshare: developer interest, media coverage, social buzz, or rising on platforms’ trending lists.
- A “trending” flag catches assets that are actively being researched, adopted, or speculated on right now, rather than older projects that may be technically sound but largely forgotten.
- This aligns the results with what the market is currently considering as serious contenders or emerging leaders.
Why Results Match the Question
- Scale & liquidity: The 24h turnover filter ensures you only see large, liquid cryptocurrencies that are realistically capable of supporting Bitcoin‑like trading volumes and user activity.
- Viability & resilience: The one‑year performance filter avoids coins that are likely losing relevance or trust, keeping assets that still show some degree of market confidence.
- Current competitive relevance: The “trending” filter ensures the output emphasizes coins that are currently in the conversation as potential leaders or alternatives, rather than historical curiosities.
Together, these filters narrow the universe down to a small set of actively traded, relatively resilient, and currently relevant cryptocurrencies—i.e., the type of assets that could plausibly be discussed as potential long‑term competitors to Bitcoin.
