ValueError: could not convert the string to float

[Grin]

Any help much appreciated:

from sklearn import preprocessing
btc.dropna(inplace=True)
X=btc.drop('Price_After_Month',axis=1)
X=preprocessing.scale(X)
y=btc['Price_After_Month']

Error:

done, any help appreciated.

Check your input file or result of a request.
Numpy is expecting a list of float values and have found the string "bitcoin"...
The problem is in the sklearn code, so you must check if there is a new version of the module or something you shall call to initialise.
