That will be interesting to see, you might want to look at getting the exchange rate from somewhere like preev if they have an api (as they use an average for their pricing).

I think mrvuit can get it from Bitmex.

It seems they do not provide BTC price, I only found ETH, EOS ...

It would be nice to have. Even better would be configurable trading pairs. User choice to see BTC/USD or BTC/Pesos, or even something like USD/BTC and ETH/ETC, etc. Maybe somewhere in account settings, you could add maybe up to 5 pairs that would be at the top or the bottom of the screen. I guess most people use other sites for that type of function but would be cool to have here especially when talking in speculation, we can all 'ooh' and 'ahh' at the roller coaster together.

Depending on whether it's possible to encapsulate the price when it gets stated, there might be ways attacks occur on the forum to try to deanonymise it's users and it might get annoying for some people (like if we have a huge drop and they want to just talk about bitcoin but they keep seeing the price falling/rising from their target)...

It's been suggested many times. Probably won't happen, but I think someone has made a script for it.

Be careful when using stuff like this as you may be giving access to more than you should with a price ticker (one I know of was one that changed the address in the blockchain.com web wallet).

If you are browsing the forum with just one screen, tablet or mobile device, it is comfortable to always see the price of BTC.

Bitcointalk is the home of Bitcoin, he was born here,

1BTC = 1BTC, I agree with this, but the price always visible would be a good detail, for the forum and for BTCitcoin.

No problem, it was just a suggestion.

eXch.cx - Automatic crypto Swap Exchange.

Here's how this will play out, when the prices of bitcoin increase/decreasing the percentages of posts created towards the price change will be more that usual and a major catalyst will be the price tags display as you suggest. People discussion what they see. If the forum was to pin any price tags, the 1Bitcoin = 1BTC reminder should be promoted as this will send a strong message to the community each time they see it.

I don't think it's quite needed, even if it's actually nice, but it's rather not a necessity.
The forum is meant to serve as a discussion arena, making the price of bitcoin visible would make it look more or less like an exchange for trading and also placing too much importance on what the price actually is.
You can simply log on to coinmarketcap in a split second to check out what the price is at.

Since I expect I'm not the only one that watches Bitcoin price in something different than US Dollar, I think that such change would either never be useful for everybody, either too much to work on it to make it configurable.
So I agree it's a feature we can miss.

It would be nice feature to have, but as AdolfinWolf suggested better ask guys who are making scripts and extensions:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/list-bitcointalkorg-userscripts-add-ons-smf-patches-5148488

I am sure it will not be hard for them to make this.

I think this has already been discussed and the consensus was that it would be unnecessary (?)

If you really want this i'm pretty sure you can inject it into your webpage with JS and a simple script pretty easily.

As per Tryninja:

theymos (or some famous members) already said somewhere that this would make the forum have the "too much price dependent" vision.

1 BTC = 1 BTC. And that's what matters.

I'm not sure what his source for this is, couldn't find it.

(The image is just a sketch.)

I would like to see the Bitcoin real-time price on the forum.
A simple ticker on the top always visible would be enough.
In my opinion, it has to be a non-intrusive design.

Options:

- Only the price
- Ticker marquee, arrows green/red, %

If this proposal is viable, I think it would be easier to import a marquee from a reliable portal or exchange of reference.

Although a marquee with the price, the arrows in green and red with the percentages of profit or loss, would be perfect.

For people, Bitcointalk is the Bitcoin forum par excellence, for me a small Bitcoin logo with the price, it would be fine.

What is your opinion, you like the idea of seeing the price of Bitcoin in the forum?
