I tried also CSV.read(), but it gave me the following error message:

```julia

CSV.CSVError("Unexpected start of quote (34), use \"9234\" to type \"34\"")
in read at CSV\src\Source.jl:294

```

I am running Julia 0.6.1 and the first few lines of my file are:

Group claims to have 30% of bitcoin hashrate Either it happens Nov 15 or some other fork will soon follow or maybe Bitcoin cash draws people away from bitcoin. This thing is a mess, personally staying away from bitcoin until the dust settles or a huge dip. Way too centralized.”,Segwit2x continuing the fork !,1327,0.5789

Make up your minds you assholes! I bet it’s a play to lower the price right now and it’s working. People hate uncertainty and the feeling that their coins are being played with by a bunch of nerds that can’t even agree whether they will or will not try to fuck it all up for everybody. ,Segwit2x continuing the fork !,1327,-0.8035
