In this article we see how to fully make our <a href="https://www.poeticoding.com/spawning-processes-in-elixir-a-gentle-introduction-to-concurrency/#http_api_requests">initial cryptocurrency example</a>, using just <a href="https://github.com/edgurgel/httpoison" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HTTPoison</a> module and <code>spawn</code>, <a href="https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Kernel.html#send/2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">send</a> and <code>receive</code> to handle concurrency. At the end we will refactor it using <a href="https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Task.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Task</a>, which makes everything far easier!</p>
