Manipulating and visualizing bitcoin price data
In this section, we will introduce the following topics:
- Getting set up for data analysis
- Getting, reading in, and cleaning bitcoin price data
- Exploring, manipulating, and visualizing the cleaned-up data
Note
We first need to install several Python libraries, which includes installing the pandas
module for reading in data, and also doing some exploratory analysis. We'll also be installing matplotlib
for creating plots and charts, as well as Jupyter Notebooks, as they are the best for this kind of work involving data analysis.
