A typical post picks up 1.1K interactions against 1.3M followers, an engagement rate of 0.09%. Measured over 62 original posts, its engagement rate beats 69% of 20,182 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 127K times each, and 0.9% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 10.0% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 62 posts sampled, 60% carry an image or video and 19% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 36K interactions, about 32x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #btc, #bitcoin, #gold.

Compared with accounts its own size

Benjamin Cowen's engagement rate beats 69% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,182 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 45% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.09%, Benjamin Cowen sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,491 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.024% to 0.143%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 204,491 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,891 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 17:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it

  • 60% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 19% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 156 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below the same accounts' other posts.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    Do not blame Kevin Warsh for higher rates. Warsh is not the one who enacted tariffs on basically the entire world and started a war in the Middle East.

    Bitcoin dumps on golden crosses are normal. What is more telling is the bounce after the golden cross dump is over. In 2019/2023, Bitcoin dumped into the golden cross then put in a higher high, thus confirming the end of the bear market. In 2014/2015, Bitcoin dumped into the golden cross, then put in a lower high, and the bear market continued. A higher high (if achieved) would likely correspond to a weekly close above the 50W SMA (which is a good predictor of the bear market being over). A lower high (rejected at the 50W) would be a sign that the Q4 low occurs right on schedule. To summarize: The dump BTC is experiencing right now has happened previously in bear markets and in the beginning of bull markets. The thing to watch for whether the low is behind us is after this dump is over, does Bitcoin print a higher high (and go above the 50W) or a lower high (rejected again). Once that data point arrives, it would likely be the nail in the coffin for either the bull or the bear case.

    At least this cycle I don't have to spend the whole time calling for ETH to go home, considering it's already there. Still think a DCA approach throughout the 2nd half of the midterm year is what generally works well. If there is a shock later in Q4 then can deal with that at the time.

    Bitcoin broke through the May high this week, which I clearly got wrong. I thought that energy/yields/rates heading higher would immediately pressure Bitcoin. A weekly close above the May high would improve confidence in the rally. The long end rising recently is starting to pressure risk assets. So far, Bitcoin has shrugged it off, which caught me off guard. If that changes, and Bitcoin closes back below the range highs with this move ending up as just a wick, things can change quickly. I'm trying to be less deterministic about these outcomes. The rally above the May high certainly humbled me. For breakout traders, I think the weekly candle is worth watching closely for either confirmation of the breakout or a failed move back into the range, particularly with rates rising into a supply shock. I discussed this at length in my last video for anyone curious about a more serious discussion rather than just a brief post.

    Bitcoin closed above the May high, which is technically a point for the bulls, and the burden of proof remains with the bears to prove otherwise. Given that BTC is still <1% away from the May high, it makes it hard to jump to conclusions going into Q4 (as much as I would like to do so). I thought that maybe by now it would either have accepted back below or be much higher, but instead price has barely moved. Usually after passing the 50W like in 2019/2023, BTC then runs 20-30% within 1-2 weeks. This time, the move has been much more muted, probably because of fears over seasonality and yields heading higher (which is often bearish for long-duration assets like crypto). Kind of a frustrating time to be honest, because on one hand what makes sense to me would be weakness into Q4, but BTC continues to show strength, making me sincerely question that view. And historically, the weakness often starts before Q4 arrives (which it has not yet so far this time). I suppose I should be less deterministic about my views going forward, as this whole move has been extremely humbling.

    I stated that I ignore Bitcoin as an investment in the 1st half of midterm years. The second half of midterm years usually marks the accumulation zone/market cycle bottom. Today (July 1st), Bitcoin put in a new low, justifying the views I held for the 1st half of the year.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 1.1K interactions against 1.3M followers, an engagement rate of 0.09%. Measured over 62 original posts, its engagement rate beats 69% of 20,182 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 127K times each, and 0.9% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

What is Benjamin Cowen's engagement rate on X?
Benjamin Cowen (@benjamincowen) has an engagement rate of 0.09%, based on the median interactions across 62 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,265,864 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.09%, Benjamin Cowen sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,491 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @benjamincowen have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 69% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,182 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @benjamincowen post?
Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 4.13 posts per day across the measured window.
