Usage

1. Install dependencies with pip: for example "pip3 install -r requirements.txt" (you may want to use a virtual environment here)
2. Apply Django migrations to Database: "python3 manage.py makemigrations", "python3 manage.py migrate"
3. Fire up a local server with: "python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000" or deploy somewhere.
4. Additionally a CMC API KEY is needed for retrieval of some data (https://coinmarketcap.com/api/)... if you don't want that there are other alternatives (google is your friend)
5. For security reasons Djangos's SECURITY KEY has to be loaded from environment or from config.py file (not included)
