🌟Coinmarketcap Is Now More Popular Than Wall Street Journal (WSJ.com) According to Alexa August 6, 2017

 I got amazed because many of my friends on social media  recently are asking me about Cryptocurrency. We are aware that the price of Bitcoin is one of the factors that tanking the market  not only the price but as a whole Crypto Eco system popularity.

One noticeable thing is the site growing traffic on Alexa rank. If  you're not aware of Alexa rank is I will just give a brief explanation  what it is. Alexa Rank is a rough measure of website's popularity,  compared with all of the other sites on the internet, taking into  account the number of visitors and the number of pages viewed on each visit.

Coinmarketcap Is Now More Popular Than WSJ.com According to Alexa

 JP Buntinx  August 6, 2017  Crypto, News            Tweet Share53 +13 Share4 Pin1Shares 61Cryptocurrency  is becoming a lot more popular these days. One site used for general  information on most cryptocurrencies is also growing in site traffic,  rivaling more traditional investment sites. Coinmarketcap is  currently the go-to platform for cryptocurrency trading and exchange  information. Remarkably, the site is now ranked higher than the likes of  the Wall Street Journal.

Coinmarketcap Outranks WSJ.com by a Small Margin

Looking at individual website  statistics on any given day can sometimes produce interesting results.  For example, one would expect the website of the Wall Street Journal to  be incredibly popular. Alexa statistics confirm that is the case,  especially among internet users in the United States. The latter aspect  is not entirely surprising, as most WSJ readers reside in the U.S.  Overall, WSJ.com is the 555th most popular website in the world, which  is very impressive. This is especially true considering  how difficult it has become to maintain a top position on Alexa these  days. The game is constantly changing as to how site traffic is measured  and sites are indexed. Getting anywhere close to the top 1,000 is a  massive challenge, especially if you want to keep your website  profitable at the same time. Some sites certainly do a much better job  at this than others; that much is blatantly obvious. However, WSJ.com  has been facing some stiff competition from a competitor they would not  necessarily expect.      While Alexa statistics are by no  means the ultimate popularity metric for websites, they provide some  interesting insights. According to the platform, Coinmarketcap  is currently ranked higher than WSJ. com. To many people, that comes as  a major surprise, considering that the Wall Street Journal has been  around for decades. Cryptocurrency, on the other hand, only emerged a  few years ago. Anything that is still relatively new and exciting often  has a better chance of becoming more popular in a short span of time.  That could partially explain why Coinmarketcap is currently ranked as  the 547th most popular website in the world. Looking a bit closer at these  statistics, we can clearly see WSJ.com has suffered from a popularity  downtrend throughout 2017. It is possible that the presidency of Donald Trump  and his campaign against the media and “fake news” has something to do  with it. A lot of people scrutinize mainstream media for virtually any  story they bring to the table these days. This certainly does not affect  just the Wall Street Journal, but it is possible this trend will only  get worse as more time progresses. Coinmarketcap, on the other hand,  has grown in popularity by leaps and bounds. Things have certainly taken  a positive turn for the site in 2017. Given the popularity and price  surge of currencies such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dash, and Ethereum, that  is not entirely surprising. Coinmarketcap is the go-to place to learn  about price data, exchange volume, and other important information  pertaining to cryptocurrencies. It is not entirely surprising to see  them becoming a lot more popular these days, though whether or not this  trend can be maintained remains to be seen. Comparing two sites in completely  different industries often makes very little sense. However, it shows  that people are slowly looking for different information sources where  both news and cryptocurrency are concerned. It is certainly possible  cryptocurrency will stick around for a longer period of time, even  though not everyone at WSJ might see it that way. Media sites have been  paying more attention to cryptocurrency as well, which could paint an  interesting future picture for both WSJ and Coinmarketcap alike.

My thoughts is it gives me excitement for the whole Eco system  of the whole Cryptocurrency. We can clearly see with our eyes the  second Dot.com era that happened in 1990's. I believe this is the same  time when Bill Gates and his men are starting the Revolutionary  Microsoft. Still a small percentage knows about it including you as a  reader of this blog.
