Problem Statement
Cryptocurrency data is decentralized, and the volatility of cryptocurrency prices presents a challenging scenario for traders to fully comprehend market conditions. To make informed decisions, traders need access to a reliable source of real-time data for performing calculations and projections based on the current value of their cryptocurrency assets. These calculations and projections are vital for informed decision-making and portfolio adjustment. However, conventional tools such as Google Sheets may not offer the necessary level of accuracy and data availability required to keep up with the dynamic cryptocurrency market.
