This paper explores the relationship between cryptocurrency market prices and social media discussions, specifically focusing on Bitcoin and Ethereum. The authors use the Hawkes Model to analyze the mutual influence of online technical discussions and apply dynamic topic modeling to identify potential hidden interactions between social media topics and cryptocurrency prices. They propose a cost-effective solution for a real-time alarm system that can support investors' decisions. The paper also mentions previous studies that have shown the relationship between Google searches and Bitcoin prices, as well as the polarization of sentiment on Twitter and its impact on Bitcoin prices.
