About
This dataset offers daily price data for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), the two most significant cryptocurrencies by market capitalisation [1]. Bitcoin is a decentralised ledger protocol ensuring public, permanent, and highly available records, functioning as a digital currency where users can transfer tokens (bitcoin with a minuscule 'b') [1]. Ethereum is a decentralised blockchain platform renowned for its smart contract functionality, with Ether (ETH) serving as its native cryptocurrency [2]. Conceived in 2013 by Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum is open-source software [2]. This dataset provides crucial insights for analysing market trends, developing price prediction models, and understanding the historical performance of these leading digital assets.
