## Holdit: A simple cryptocurrency monitor

### What is the project about?
#### Intro
A few weeks ago I started learning about cryptocurrency, how it works and how the market works. 
Then I bought a coin with a tiny amount of STEEM, but few days later was difficult to me to see how much I win or lost, because in general, sites like **coinmarketcap.com** only shows the change of coins in 1h, 24h, 7d, and so on, but not in (for example) 17 days or 3 days. Also I would like to see the amount of how much I gain (loss) and not just the percentage.
#### The project
For that, I made a simple monitor to check how many coins I have, how much I gain/loss in the whole time (not just in fixed times) and also a simple converter.

The Table at the right shows the current data for Cryptocurrencies (the same data that you can find in **coinmarketcap.com**, actually, I use the API of that site)

The Table at the left shows the cryptos that you own. What coin you have (`name`), how many you have (`amount`) and how much you paid for that coin (`price`) (At the moment this three variables are filled manually)
`Total (ETH) ATM` is how much worth those 2 EOS with the current price and `change` how much you win or lost at the moment.

And finally, the convertor

### Technology Stack
I'm using Python 3.6, PyQt5 for the GUI and CoinMarketCap's API for the data.

### Roadmap
TO-DO list:
- Improve the Hold Section
- Add fiat money for convertion (not just USD and EURO)
- Add some interesting links (Markets and Charts Visualizators)
