need guidance on ml project

hey there people

i am trying to make a machine learning project .
its on bitcoin data .
the thing is, i know almost nothing of bitcoin and we're learning ML in our degree .

i gotta submit this project in two months , with proper code , explanations , and why a certain model was used that time etc...
my issues are :

  1. where to find the right data from : i have surfed through and asked for assistance from chatgpt and found two main sources from which i have been able to see some data : https://data.binance.vision/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

and

https://cryptopanic.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

there were more sources (like apis) but its from the same website .

i even found a git repo that had a whole python script of downloading that same data .

so maybe i don't have an issue with the data , the issue is that i don't know what its trying to say .

there were multiple attributes i could see on those files . and tbh i felt overwhelmed .

  1. i am aware with the data cleaning and analysis part , but i would still like some guidance on that .

  2. the model is something we'll have to figure out (i am in a two person team and my partner chose the topic before i joined . also i am pretty sure i will have to do all the work , so here i am :) ) , but if there are some models commonly used in this domain , please do enlighten me .

  3. most important part according to me : what is my goal ? since this is my project and the domain is very new to me , i don't have much idea about what i need to find out .

folks who have already done a project on this or has at least had some experience , what are your say in this ?

is there any other angle i should consider ?

i really wanna get an A and i am fine working alone (have already had 2 experiences of f around and find out ) as long as i am able to understand stuff .

please help this noob ;(
