Gilfoyle Bitcoin Alert

forthebadge

Made for devotion to the TV series Silicon Valley, Gilfoyle Bitcoin Alert is a Python3 script which alerts the user with the Napalm Death sound (as the one used by Gilfoyle in Season 5 Episode 3) when the Bitcoin price changes rapidly above or below a given threshold.

The price is fetched from the Binance API every 30 seconds and the default currency is USD. These values can be changed at will.
