Predicting Bitcoin Prices with Linear Regression: A Beginner-Friendly Guide

Pranjal Verma — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 17:57:55 +0000

Linear Regression is one of the most fundamental concepts in machine learning and an excellent starting point for beginners. In this blog, we’ll unpack what linear regression is, how it works, and then build a practical model to predict Bitcoin closing prices using historical BTC price data.

Note: The python notebook is been attached, feel free to try it yourself.

What is Linear Regression?

Linear regression is a simple way to understand how one thing affects another. Imagine trying to predict a student’s exam score based on how many hours they study. Linear regression fits a straight line through data points, showing the relationship between study hours (independent variable) and exam scores (dependent variable). This helps predict what the score might be for a given number of study hours by using a simple formula like y = mx + c, where y is the score, x is the hours studied, w is how much the score changes with each hour, and b is the starting point when no hours are studied.

Hi guys, it's been a while. I been out from dev.to, due to my studies and other stuff. While coding in C++ I make some snippets for C++ for vscode.
I have added some of the common snippets with variable and other will be added day by day.
Have a look

Hello my gorgeous friends on the internet, It's been a while I was not active on social medias, since my tuitions classes were resumed and many other reason. But now, I will take some time out to resume and work on my coding skills.

At present I have done good stuff related web programming, but now I want to do some competitive coding too, Few weeks ago I started learning Java and today I take "Introduction of C++" now I'm confused, which what(java/c++) should i proceed.

What's your opinion, suggest me guys....

HOURS OF CODING

Pranjal Verma — Tue, 26 May 2020 13:07:31 +0000

ask Hey guys, today while i Started the coding i noted the time and when i stop coding then noted the time, the difference is quite surprising.

Firstly I want to know guys. How many hours do you code in a week?

JSON not parsing &139; , " and many more

Pranjal Verma — Thu, 21 May 2020 10:37:43 +0000

Hey guys, I have been working on my very first APIs project and in that project I'm making a "QUIZ APP", where from an API. I have been taking 10 question and giving them multiple choices and at end they will be getting scored. I'm using NODE.JS, EXPRESS, REQUEST, EJS for the app.

The problem comes here when i get a string from API. I change it to an object using JSON.parse() and sending it to EJS files and then displayed. but when their are symbols in question like ", ' , and more they are displayed as &139; , " like that.

                          HOW DO I FIX THAT.

Does SCSS take more space or load slow?

Pranjal Verma — Sat, 09 May 2020 16:19:54 +0000

Hi Guys,
Today I was surfing on youtube and at a sudden a SCSS crash course pops up. Then, obviously I check it out. It seem to be very good and definitely easy.

But after watching it. I thought if their will be more files of stylesheet it will take more time and more space. So I googled it, but don't find anything.

So, please the Good/Experienced DEVs. Give some knowledge..
