A calculator to see how much you've made off of Bitcoin investments
After the recent dips and rises in the market, I thought it would be cool to have a calculator to see how much I've earned and lost (mostly earned 😉 )
Anyway, there are a myriad of little programs out there that do this, but I thought it would be a good project to deal with some APIs, simple calculations, and functions in Python.
IMPORTANT: You'll need to an API key from CryptoCompare for the program to work. Once you've created an account, go to your profile/settings and set up a key; it's super easy. After that, the easiest way to get up and running is to replace line 8 with API_KEY = 'whatever-your-key-is'. If you want to put the key in your .env file, you can do that too. But that might mean you need to install python-dotenv first. Up to you.
