Not sure if this qualifies as trend analysis...(thread count[...]
...but there are only TWO Monero-related threads on the first page of the BCT alt forum. One of them is the MEW thread. Even the altcoin observer thread, which is, at times, a de facto XMR thread, is not on the first page. Nor is the Free For All thread on page 1.
To me, that is a good indicator that some of the insanity and trolling may be starting to wane. Of course, the current price isn't reflecting what I believe to be good news, but the sample size is small. When Monero has a completely disproportionate representation in BCT, it does seem to cause overreaction. I predict that moving some threads to this forum--like, for example, this one--will be good for XMR.
