📓 Hands-on Machine Learning with Python: Implement Neural Network Solutions with Scikit-learn and PyTorch. 2022.
• The book is divided into three sections. The first section introduces you to number crunching and data analysis tools using Python with in-depth explanation on environment configuration, data loading, numerical processing, data analysis, and visualizations. The second section covers machine learning basics and Scikit-learn library. It also explains supervised learning, unsupervised learning, implementation, and classification of regression algorithms, and ensemble learning methods in an easy manner with theoretical and practical lessons. The third section explains complex neural network architectures with details on internal working and implementation of convolutional neural networks. The final chapter contains a detailed end-to-end solution with neural networks in Pytorch.

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that you can buy, sell and exchange directly, without an intermediary like a bank. Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, originally described the need for “an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust.” Each and every Bitcoin transaction that’s ever been made exists on a public ledger accessible to everyone, making transactions hard to reverse and difficult to fake. That’s by design: Core to their decentralized nature, Bitcoins aren’t backed by the government or any issuing institution, and there’s nothing to guarantee their value besides the proof baked in the heart of the system. “The reason why it’s worth money is simply because we, as people, decided it has value—same as gold,” says Anton Mozgovoy, co-founder & CEO of digital financial service company Holyheld.
How to Invest in Bitcoin?
Like a stock, you can buy and hold Bitcoin as an investment. You can even now do so in special retirement accounts called Bitcoin IRAs. No matter where you choose to hold your Bitcoin, people’s philosophies on how to invest it vary: Some buy and hold long term, some buy and aim to sell after a price rally, and others bet on its price decreasing. Bitcoin’s price over time has experienced big price swings, going as low as $5,165 and as high as $28,990 in 2020 alone. “I think in some places, people might be using Bitcoin to pay for things, but the truth is that it’s an asset that looks like it’s going to be increasing in value relatively quickly for some time,” Marquez says. “So why would you sell something that’s going to be worth so much more next year than it is today? The majority of people that hold it are long-term investors.”
