So, I have a serious problem. My taxes of 2017 are due at the end of the year and my tax attorney just told me, that I have to convert Bitcoin/'Alt' Pairs to EUR.
For example, that means I bought 'Alt'/BTC, using BTC. Since the price of 'alt' is now listed in Bitcoin and the buy/sell amounts are also listed in Bitcoin, I will need to convert the Bitcoin prices/amounts to EURO using market data.
Exchanges provide .csv files that can be opened via excel or libreoffice. In these .CSV files I have 10 columns of which only 4 are needed for conversion (Timestamp, Price in BTC, BTC Total and BTC Fee) and to make matters worse not every row needs to be converted since some pairs are BTC/USD. These pairs are already in fiat currency, but I'd need to convert them to EUR as well.
I HAVE a basic plan on how to convert the prices (hooking into the exchange API and requesting prices at a specific time, setting some conditions to only convert prices, if they are a BTC pair, let the programm or script rewrite the entire .csv) file but that's about it.
Problematic is, that I never progammed a thing in my life. I have experience with a few archlinux commands and basic Python skills (while and for loops as well as if and elif commands and I can define a simple function).
I'm not asking for someone to do it for me,but rather guide me into the right direction (should I use Python, or go for something else and completely start over.
We're talking about almost 20k trades. There is no way I'm gonna do that manually.
Sorry for posting this here, but BitcoinTaxes is dead and my best chance to find an experienced programmer that knows about BTC is, well, this sub.
Any recommendations, be it languages to learn, videos to watch or a simple script if it already exists would be amazing
