Glossary


A

  • API

An Application Programming Interface allows two distinct software programs to communicate with each other and use their services. A software's user doesn't get in touch with an API since it works in the background and is only used by the programmer for it's unique features.

  • Arbitrage

The process of buying a stock, cryptocurrency or commodity in one place and selling in another at the same time to achieve a profit from different prices.

B

  • Blockchain

A blockchain is a digital file, that every member of a society has stored. All members are equal and have the same (full) file. In regular, defined time periods, new updates are attached to this file inside a block. This is how all the blocks form a chain, thus the name Blockchain.

C

  • Cashtag

Similar to a Hashtag, a Cashtag is an identifier for stocks and cryptocurrencies, starting with a Dollar-Sign ($). Examples: $TSLA for Tesla stock or $btc for Bitcoin.

D

  • Data Serialisation

The conversion of a data object with it's state into another byte-sized format to either store or transmit it. It can later be translated back by deserialisation. Serialisation is good for creating semantically identical copies of the original data.

F

  • Fiat

A currency that is issued by the government and not backed by any commodity, such as Gold. Central Banks control how much money is printed. Examples: Euro, US-Dollar, Yen

G

  • Google Authenticator

An App by Google that generates a 6 digit code every minute which can be used when sigining in with 2-Way-Authentification.

H

  • HTTP Request

The message from a client to get information from a server.

J

  • Jupyter Notebooks

A web-based tool for interactive and fast coding. It is structured as executable cells, which can contain either code, text (markdown), mathematics or plots.

M

  • Market Capitalisation / MCap

The market cap is the definition for the value of a company (or a cryptocurrency in the context of this project). It also shows the dominance and popularity of a cryptocurrency. To calculate the market cap, the actual price of the coin is multiplied by the total volume.

N

  • Natural Language Processing / NLP

Computational processing of natural language using rules and methods from linguistics and combines them with modern computer science and artificial intelligence. Examples: Autocomplete, Spell-Check in Word Processors

P

  • Papertrading

A simulation of the real stock or crypto market, which allows trading with real prices but virtual money.

  • Pump & Dump

The fraudulent practice of spreading (false) information about a stock or cryptocurrency to "pump" up the price artificially to be able to sell all the holdings at a high price and therefore dump the price again.

R

  • Regular Expressions / Regex

Regular Expressions are searchable patterns inside a string, consisting out of multiple single characters.

S

  • Sandbox

A testing environment to securely try out code without affecting the running software.

  • Sentiment

The overall opinion, mood, feeling about a particular topic. Mostly used in business context for expressing the "feeling" about a stock or cryptocurrency.

  • Software-as-a-Service / Saas

Accessing software through the internet without dealing with software or hardware problems. Providers, such as Google or Amazon offer on-demand-service, support, scalability and security.

  • Stablecoin

A stablecoin is a "stable" cryptocurrency, because it is pegged to a FIAT-Currency (see FIAT) like the US-Dollar or Gold and therefore not volatile.

  • Stakeholder Analysis

An overview over people and organisations and their different amount of influence on the project. It is crucial at the start of a project to define which goals are the most important.
