Continuing with Over 500,000+ Data Points for Bitcoin (BTC) Price Prediction
Using the Python program, the first method I tried was SVR (Support Vector Regression) for prediction. However… how many steps should I use for prediction? 
Previously, I used a Raspberry Pi 4B (4GB RAM) for prediction, and… OH… 
I don’t even want to count the time again. Just imagine training a new model on a Raspberry Pi!
So, I switched to an AMD 16-core CPU with 8GB RAM running in a virtual machine to perform the prediction.
- 60 steps calculation: Took 7 hours
- 120 steps: …Man… still running after 20 hours!
Finally !!! 33 Hours
Do I need an M4 machine for this? 
ChatGPT provided another approach.
OK, let’s test it… I’ll let you know how it goes! 
Quick Example of More Time Steps Effect
| Time Step (X Length) | Predicted Accuracy | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 30 |  | Quick but less accurate for long-term trends. |
| 60 | | Balanced context and performance. |
| 120 | ½ | Better for long-term trends but slower. |
| 240 | | Risk of overfitting and slower training. |
