₿ Crypto Convergence Index
Is cryptocurrency becoming more like a real currency — or more like a speculative casino? These seven structural indicators track the answer, week by week. The goal is not to predict prices, but to observe whether the underlying market structure is maturing toward currency-like behavior.

Backtest baseline: Week 21 (18 May – 24 May 2026), starting capital $100,000. All performance metrics reset from this point — win rate, NAV, drawdown. Previous weeks (Weeks 19–20) were a separate calibration phase.
Why These Three Dashboards?
These three topics were chosen because they represent different facets of the same underlying question: how is technology reshaping markets, media, and money?
| Topic | It asks: | Why it matters to you |
|---|---|---|
| AI in news | Is AI genuinely penetrating society — or just tech headlines? | If you work in tech, invest, or make policy, knowing whether AI is crossing from niche to mainstream discourse helps you calibrate timing and risk. |
| Crypto convergence | Is crypto behaving more like a currency or a casino? | For anyone holding, building on, or regulating crypto — structural convergence matters more than price. A maturing market behaves differently. |
| Stock selection | Can simple, transparent, academic factors beat the market? | For retail investors tired of black-box quant funds and hype-driven picks. If it works, it’s reproducible. If it doesn’t, you see the loss in real-time. |
