"RuntimeError: Event loop is closed" with Discord.py API

Question

I decided to pick up coding in python again as I wasnt to code a Discordbot in python which lets me see the Value of a certain Stock by sending a text message. I copied this codeblock from a website

import discord
import os

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return

    if message.content.startswith('$hello'):
        await message.channel.send('Hello!')

client.run("my_token")

(I replaced the placeholder with my real bot token) and when I try to execute this code I get the error message stated above.

Edit: Here the whole error traceback:

    data = await self.request(Route('GET', '/users/@me'))

    raise HTTPException(r, data)
discord.errors.HTTPException: 401 Unauthorized (error code: 0): 401: Unauthorized

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Answer 1

You have inserted an improper token. Take a look at the error message:

    raise LoginFailure('Improper token has been passed.') from exc
discord.errors.LoginFailure: Improper token has been passed.

Make sure to insert the right one. You can find it here:
