I don't think it will really be a bad idea to see the Bitcoin price on its own forum; it would have been something interesting, but at the same time, I also don't think the forum needs that here. We don't expect to have everything here on the forum; it will be a little work for the admin, and I don't think it will be something of interest to the admin either.
Let's not be dependent on the forum chart information; what if the price source happens to have some error reading sometimes? We could possibly accuse the forum and its admin of what they don't know, just like what happened with CoinMarketCap a few years ago, where all coins and token prices were doubled and everyone's wallet was showing millions of dollars, and all those who integrated it into their server will definitely experience the same price error.
We have other places to read the chart if we really want; all of us have different places where we get our price information, which we read and make our own predictions under the speculation and argument price prediction there.
Topic: does the speculation board need live bitcoin price update? - page 2. (Read 250 times)
You can check this thread - Wall Observer for Bitcoin price updates. It is done by Chart Buddy every hour. As of now, there are many websites and apps that can give you realtime updates of Bitcoin prices. I do not think there is any need of realtime Bitcoin price update on the speculation board.
It's going to be a boring price update:
1BTC = 1BTC
1BTC = 1BTC
Why is there no live bitcoin price update in the forum. I am not suggesting that there should be live price update, I am just asking why there is none. I know this forum is for bitcoin and there are many die hard bitcoiners here and I have seen many developers here.
It will not be hard to get an API which will fetch() live bitcoin price, if not everywhere in the forum, atleast at the top of the Speculation board.
I was trying to analyse bitcoin chart in speculation board, I saw myself opening the binance app in another tab and reading the chart from there to make a post in a bitcoin forum.
It didn't make good sense to me. That is why I decided to ask the reason behind not implementing the live bitcoin price.
