Bitcoin is now mainstream. While the debate on whether it’s a speculative bubble or the greatest thing since the internet continues, one thing that is irrefutable is that it has attracted a significant amount of investor interest to cryptocurrency and digital assets. Those serious about investing in digital assets know that there are many considerations beyond Bitcoin. With the use of Python and some data analysis, investors can arm themselves with the basic steps on how to create a portfolio optimized to their individual risk profile.
