This past weekend, we witnessed a phenomenon where a single meme coin announcement on Trump’s X (Twitter) account turned thousands of people into millionaires overnight. That got me thinking—how can we catch wind of these opportunities as soon as they’re announced?
I decided to take action. I wrote a Python script that monitors posts from 160 of the biggest influencers and celebrities on X. The script scans 160 accounts every 4 hours, 24/7 and analyzes their posts using ChatGPT, identifying any potential mentions of meme coins, complete with a confidence level and the name of the coin. It then emails the results (and soon will include text notifications).
The X API access is expensive, costing several hundred dollars a month. Joining helps cover this cost so we can stay ahead of the game together.

For endpoints we use:
$200/month Basic API. Gets us maximum capacity of 83 users checked every 4 hours while staying under all rate limits. We could check more often with less users, but I thought 4 hours was the longest we could scan and having a larger pool of users was better.
$5000/month Pro API. Gets us a maximum sustainable capacity of 347 users checking every 15 minutes.
We monitor these accounts:

Analysis:
Token Name: Elon_sol_coin
Confidence: 0.95
Reasoning: The tweet is a retweet from an account named 'Elon_sol_coin', which suggests
that it might be related to a cryptocurrency, likely one with a themed name reminiscent
of Elon Musk and Solana (another cryptocurrency). The mention of 'Big news is on the way'
indicates an announcement typical for cryptocurrency projects. The context and the source
strongly suggest a crypto token mention.
Stay tuned—together we can jump on new meme coin announcements before they explode.
