Per your suggestion I made the following update:

```elixir

  def decode(raw_json) do
    try do
      Jason.decode(raw_json, keys: :atoms!)
    rescue
      error ->
        IO.inspect(error, limit: :infinity)
        IO.puts("Converting JSON keys to atoms . . . ")
        naive_string_to_atom(raw_json)
        main()
    end
  end

```

Outcome:

```elixir
Erlang/OTP 25 [erts-13.0.3] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [ds:4:4:10] [async-threads:1] [jit:ns]
Interactive Elixir (1.13.4) - press Ctrl+C to exit (type h() ENTER for help)
iex(1)> ProofOfConcept.main

%ArgumentError{
  message: "errors were found at the given arguments:\n\n * 1st argument: not an already existing atom\n"
}

Converting JSON keys to atoms . . . 
[:firstPrice_brln, :firstPrice_btc, :firstPrice_cnyn, :firstPrice_eth,
 :firstPrice_eurn, :firstPrice_gbpn, :firstPrice_jpyn, :firstPrice_ngnn,

 :lastPrice_eth, :lastPrice_eurn, :lastPrice_gbpn, :lastPrice_jpyn,

 :"lastPrice_usd-n", :lastPrice_waves, :"24h_vol_brln", :"24h_vol_btc",

 :"24h_vol_jpyn", :"24h_vol_ngnn", :"24h_vol_rubn", :"24h_vol_tryn",
 :"24h_vol_uahn", :"24h_vol_usd-n", :"24h_vol_waves", :circulating, :data,
 :excludedFromCirculating, :id, :name, :precision, :sender, :shortcode, :start,
 :totalSupply, :trades, :website]

```

It seems it’s trying to atomize new lines? Am I reading this right?
