Today, OpenWorld Academy introduces dozen of most informative & interesting websites about Bitcoin.
Why Bitcoin? It is the King in cryptocurrency space and should debut your crypto adventure with Bitcoin.
Coinmarketcap (CMC)
It’s a biggest and mostly considered as a gold standard when you want to find information of a project. Notes that a project listed on Coinmarketcap does not mean it is non-scam and has good quality.
Check Bitcoin on CMC: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/
A very interesting information on CMC is Historical Snapshots with which you will have available data and get a retrospective view. Pay your attention on changes in top coins. Top coins don’t mean they will survive in the market.
Coingecko (CG)
Coingecko is a second best website to find information about cryptocurrency projects. It is created later than Coinmarketcap but it has grown significantly recent years.

LookintoBitcoin
It has different charts. One of them is Fear and Greed index as follows. This is one of basics and most important charts you should look at. Because price can be $100, $10000 or $60000 but the psychological cycle of the market and emotion of the crowd don’t change. It repeats in history, many times!

You can zoom in and out in order to have wide and narrow view of the mempool. If you want to check mempool and waiting transactions at each fee rate, you can hover computer mouse on color bands and see corresponding stats. Then you can choose a fee rate that matches your need.
