>The world of crypto-currencies is a world that moves very fast and very impressively. So I create a bot who allows to get the values of any currencies in real time.

I got interested in crypto-currencies in 2018 and bought Ethereum and Ripple to get started.
The world of crypto-currencies is a world that moves very fast and very impressively. Sometimes within an hour the exchange rate of a currency can be completely reversed.

From my first investment, I became obsessed with this one. I wanted to see if I was earning or losing  money and especially I wanted to see which currencies were going up. I needed a platform that would gather information and values of the currencies, and that would keep me informed every hour of the important variations of the currencies. 

So **I had fun creating CryptoShark** and creating a channel where it publishes the course of crypto-currencies hourly.

CryptoShark is a bot available on Telegram. 
It allows you to **get the values of any crypto-currency in real-time in US dollar and Euro**. All the data is fetched on Coin Market Cap, the world's most trusted source for crypto market.

You can ask the bot for any currency by sending a command (starting by `/`) with the name (or symbol) of the cryptocurrency you are interested in.
For example, for the Bitcoin you can send  `/BTC` or `/bitcoin`, for the Cardano `/ADA` or `/cardano`.

**Here are the other commands available:**  
`/top10` - Query the market for the top 10 crypto-currencies by market capitalization  
`/best1h` – Top 5 performing currencies in the last hour  
`/best24h` – Top 5 performing currencies in the last 24h  
`/best7d` – Top 5 performing currencies in the last week  
`/worst1h` – Least 5 performing currencies in the last hour  
`/worst24h` – Least 5 performing currencies in the last 24h  
`/worst7d` – Least 5 performing currencies in the last week
