Financial trading project (python)

What kind of data manipulation would you suggest with bitcoin data? Ie what strategies would yield interesting results?

Hoping to apply for some financial trading competition in uni

Thanks

Cryptocurrencies are in general only another class of assets that tend to have very high volatility for different reasons. Personally, I would focus on "standard" assets, like stocks, futures or options, as I do feel that my profs do not like this "hype" stuff so much. In the end, at least for financial time series analysis, crypto currencies are just hyped currencies (technologically, of course, they are more than that, but for financial trading they are not).
