Abstract

The motivation of the project came due to the sudden surge in the prices of Cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin. Bitcoin is considered an investment asset. The price of Bitcoin is very fluctuating, volatile and depends on the Crypto-currency market and its demand. In this research, I have performed time-series based analysis and sentiment analysis based on the Twitter data to predict the price of bitcoin. For time-series analysis I have obtained better outcomes using Long short-term memory (LSTM). On the other hand, for the Twitter-based sentiment analysis method, the sentiments of tweets have been identified and based on the sentiment score the bitcoin price has been predicted. For Twitter-based sentiments Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) architecture has provided better outcomes in terms of Bitcoin price prediction. The model with minimum MSE (Mean Square Error) and MAE (Mean Absolute Error) score has been considered as the optimal model for predicting the price of bitcoin.
