A digital currency is only as strong as the community that supports it, so I decided to take a look at the top 100 digital currencies by “social strength.” What’s that? A look at each altcoin’s total number of Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter followers. The sum of all of those followers determines a coin’s social strength.
Bitcoin leads on Reddit and Facebook, but bows down to dogecoin on Twitter. Note that this list is based purely on the 100 coins that currently appear on CoinMarketCap.com (and at the time that I pulled them, pandacoin was listed twice). The columns below are sortable, so you can see which coin leads on which particular platform.
Note that some digital currencies have multiple Facebook pages and multiple Twitter accounts. For the purpose of this post, I tried to locate the single most popular Facebook page and Twitter account for a currency.

Nice article! But 2 Pandacoins on the list?
6 Pandacoin 43 9449 766 10,258
7 Pandacoin 43 9449 766 10,258
Fred Marion
AuthorYeah, that was a glitch inherited from CoinMarketCap… I’ll replace it with another coin soon.
Panda
There actually were 2 separate panda coins and different communities, although both are pretty much dead now. One copied the other. Funny thing is I think there was a 3rd one too.
Fred Marion
AuthorAh. Thanks for the clarification!
quarkfx
Hum…14 follower for Quark on Reddit? You got the wrong Reddit for Quark, I guess. It is r/QuarkCoin and has about 1700 Follower. How did you get the Twitter numbers?
Fred Marion
AuthorI just updated quark numbers… I had them wrong. It moved into the No. 5 slot.
lucky331
ripple at no. 14. this needs to change. :/
Fred Marion
AuthorAgreed!
jherek
Why don’t you include the short cut for the coins?
Fred Marion
AuthorThe currency symbol? I could do that (though for quick reference, they’re on coinmarketcap.com, too)…

Potcoin should be in the top 10. Most of these coins have fake followers on twitter and facebook. that is a fact!!! Potcoin has 1300+ redditors alone. Also twitter is well over 1000 but facebook is pretty inactive.
420 is coming
Yeah. Potcoin should be listed The community is very active on reddit and twitter.
