historic Bitcoin prices with euros, dollars and Japanese yen.

Found a small bug in the historic prices:

It looks like the amount of data that we could access, differs based on what currency we're viewing the data...
- $ = Starting from February 2, 2012 onwards
- € = Starting from September 12, 2013 onwards
- ¥ = Starting from June 25, 2015 onwards

I checked the price data, the site mentioned that the first price was 2013, this is incorrect, the first price is indeed February 2, 2012.

I don't know what sources you are using to fetch Bitcoin prices but you should mention them somewhere (I couldn't find any info about that), and using multiple sources mid value would be the best option.

There is a lot of blank white space on your website so I would definitely make those numbers for BTC and fiat currencies bigger, and date font size should be smaller.

I like date and calendar feature but oldest date I can find for historic Bitcoin prices is September 2013, so adding prices before that would be great.

Thank you for all the suggestions.

I made the numbers bigger and font size of the date is now smaller.

I will take a look at other historic data with source reference, might be cool to see the first BTC/USD price.

Can you give an example of digit grouping for bigger numbers?

Your site shows in the box, now, for example, for 100 BTC -> 4231184.00
With digit grouping it would be either 4 231 184.00, either 4,231,184.00, for easier reading.

It's interesting that in page title you did put some sort of grouping (although dot is usually the decimal point, but I know that it depends on the country/locale) 42.311,84

Thank you for the elaboration, I added the grouping of numbers in the input field.

You are correct, the historical price sources that I used do not not all start on the same date.

Perhaps you should consider using a single source for all of them and just convert everything instead.
^{- While you're at it, you might want to consider using a different source with more historical data [e.g. "this one" shows prices from Aug 23, 2010].}

I would suggest making a button to jump back to the current date.
After looking at a historic date I was looking for a simple button to jump back to todays price but I had to reload the page

I added a "Today" button that jumps to the current date.

Good job! I may myself use this. Here's some feedback:

Add night mode.
Add prices prior to 2013. (2009-2012)
Add historical data for each month.
Add lightning donations!

I added "Night/Dark mode" and a chart with historical data.

The website contains a Bitcoin donation address that is visible on the API and Privacy statement page in the footer.
I have taken a look at "lightning donations" and learned something about "Bitcoin lightning transactions"

For now I do not want to implement lightning donations however it is something that I am gonna checkout, interesting technique.

Historical prices prior to 2013 is something that I need to checkout, I would need to find the data somewhere

The site is nice and smooth, but it is very basic. I will give you some suggestions:

- Add more platforms to compare prices.
- Add the possibility of printing the price, time and amount.
- Add historical data.
- Add a specific title and track the title's movement in the charts.
- Add more trading pairs.

More can be added, but you need the night mode now and quickly.

Thank you for the list of suggestions.

I currently do not yet want to add more trading pairs, however to understand your suggestion, what kind of pairs would you like to have added?

Can you give me an example of how you would like the price, time and amount be printed, would you like a csv export button?

I added a "dark/night mode" toggle button.

Nice! Although longer name than preev, it makes more sense.
I'll throw in also a suggestion: please consider digit grouping for bigger numbers.

Also, right now it's just a competitor for preev with the (undeniably) nice touch of historical data. Not bad, but you have the tools for more.
Maybe for medium-long term you'd also add more fiat currencies (maybe from xe or similar) and more (all?) crypto coins that can be traded, at least for spot price. Then the website will become important.

Thank you for the suggestion.

I started a new project, a bitcoin price calculator that can calculate live and historic Bitcoin prices with euros, dollars and Japanese yen.

WEBSITE:
https://bitcoinpricecalc.com/

Interesting website and the domain name is quite good imo.

I made something similar some months back, but it doesn't have historical data.

I will make a suggestion. I think you could add a chart below your calculator, for the selected currency, as it will show the historical data as well, making it easier to navigate between dates.
