Coinmarketcap  is the best. Especially after they upgraded their charts.

I really dislike coinmarketcap, the nature of crypto-currency is decentralisation. There shouldn't be partial selective and biased information. This includes excluding coins simply because of their un-proven nature.

Every coin goes through their phases of reckoning, hell even Ripple did. Even right now, ripple remains largely centralised where the coin creators actually own the large majority of the coin.

Coinmarketcap just ignores coins they feel don't deserve to have live stats and a market capitalisation calculation.

I can see Ripple is #2 in market cap on Coinmarketcap, while on Worldcoinindex it is #9. Hmm...interesting  Roll Eyes
Ripple is number 2 too on Worldcoinindex if you sort by marketcap. Worldcoinindex updates a lot more frequent and you can see last change if red or green.

I've sort it by market cap and yes Ripple is #2 in market cap. However Dash is number #5 on marketcap based on Worldcoinindex while on Coinmarketcap it is listed as #4. Which one is more accurate?? I'm so confused  Huh

The discrepancy likely lies in which exchanges each site is and is not pulling their data from.

Going down after the first 10-15 coins the rates on an exchange fluctuate A LOT from one moment to the other. When there is a big gap between buy and sell orders in the system once someone pops something in inbetween  the chart gaps back and forth all the time. Then it's hard to make an accurate average.

Coinmarketcap is the most accurate site. It's updated constantly and provides a wide range of cryptos to check their info. This is my opinion  Roll Eyes


Seems to me the differences are more fundamental that how fast the update refresh rate is. Ripple can't be that different unless they are using a completely different method to calc value. How are they so different....The price of coins is not supposed to be this subjective surely?

Coinmarketcap or Worldcoinindex? For and against?

I always used Coinmarketcap but clearly Worldcoinindex has a completely different way to calculate valuations and seems to me more deatailed and accurate. As people judge coins value on Coinmarketcap then if we do think WCI is better then we have to completely reevaluate values of coins. Ripple is 10th!

which one is more accurate cause they sure are saying different things.....
