In retrospect, cryptos have come a long way in 2021, from controversial speculation to legitimate investment (sort of).

However, exchange platforms/apps don’t seem to have enough engineering resource to keep up. For example, Crypto.com (the crypto app I use the most):

  • No way to track the initial investment
  • Inherited from the last bullet point, no way to track gains
  • No way to track Visa card spendings

The limitations are understandable as no engineering team can build that many features in a year.

However, as people who are cautious about investing, those statistics are esstential for making decisions (e.g., if the risk is still acceptable).

Fortunately, most of the apps do provide a way to export activities to CSV files, which at least enables DIY data analysis.

The first attempt was to open a Jupyter Notebook and crunch the numbers with Pandas and Numpy. However, after a few repetitive works, this approach was obviously not sustainable, and should be replaced by something more reusable and flexible.
