Trying to upload a package to pypi and it's all working except my long_description. It's meant to read through my README.rst but it is just blank on pypi. docutils rst2html isn't throwing any errors, setup.py --long-description prints out my readme, setup.py -check isn't producing errors either.

The license argument is for supplying the name of the software license you're using (e.g., 'MIT' or 'GPLv2'), not for supplying the entire text of the license. Apparently, whatever version of setuptools you used to build your sdist couldn't handle a multi-line license, as the PKG-INFO file in the sdist looks like this:
Metadata-Version: 1.0
Name: cryptocli
Version: 0.1.3
Summary: CLI to query cryptocurrency value
Home-page: https://github.com/huwwp/cryptocli

setuptools' failure to indent the license text causes all subsequent fields of the PKG-INFO (including the long description and keywords) to not be parsed, hence why they don't show up on PyPI. You should just write license='MIT' in your setup.py instead.
(Incidentally, your LICENSE file is not automatically included in your sdist unless you list it in a MANIFEST.in file, and the absence of a LICENSE causes your setup.py to fail, so no one can currently install your package as-is!)
