Chaos Index
The Chaos Index combines Bitcoin price, ISS coordinates, average global temperature, latest earthquake magnitude, and lunar phase into a single number between 0 and 100. The methodology is available upon request. Please don't request it. The index is refreshed continuously and has never been the same number twice, which we consider proof that it works.
