Topic: Google Finance now showing Bitcoin prices aswell (Read 2814 times)
It does work for me. They are fetching data from Coinbase.

Data from June 11, 2013.
So wait... it looks like it is BTC and not XBT?
And Bitcoin is a currency, not an asset?

More likely, they'll come up with a Digital designation, like D-BTC. With alts coming out 3 a day, we'll eat up the Xxx designations too quickly. There have probably already been more than 262 alts.
No need to worry about the alts eating up all the 3-letter abbreviations, most of them will not even survive long enough to be standardized by any any institution.

Personally, I think this is a good thing. Since neither was an official designation, maybe BTC will be made official by ISO, and the government of Bhutan will just have to stay away from issuing a "coin" or "convertable peso" or "colon" or anything starting with a "C".

Looks like Google and Yahoo are making the decision for us - BTC over XBT. They can always change at a later date (if ISO rules that XBT is the chosen abbreviation), but I'd say momentum is on the side of BTC, and now XBT is dead.
I got it to work just fine. In a couple years, we will see total mass adoption..

Of course it is, it's what it's used for. It's only the US govt that considers it an asset, and we're all better off for it.

Google is an internet GIANT. This further legitimizes and mainstreams bitcoin. Although I'm surprised yahoo finance beat google to adding charts for bitcoin. Once other altcoins like LTC gets big enough, I'm sure they'll follow suit.
I doubt any of the alts will ever make it on to major finance sites as they generally can only be traded for BTC as apposed for actual goods/services (virtually no merchants accept them). They are also tiny when compared to bitcoin OKAY.. this is some cool shit.
Yes Indeed...
Bitcoin is the worst shit i have ever met
it is so sticky, hard to remove, stinky, adding that it grows and gets stronger by itself... oh yes but we can't live without it, just hold the shit for a little and see what happens

All of these little tidbits of news are great for BTC. Not really because we need google to see the price of BTC, but more so because it just puts Bitcoin in front of more people's eyes. The more recognition it has, the more and more it will be adopted...
This should allow more people to discover and explore bitcoin. Over the long term it should help get more people to use bitcoin
Very cool! BTC looks poised to take off into the thousands again! Hopefully.

Google finance shouldn't that be really good for bitcoin and expose it more as a real currency not just an internet ponzi
Anyone that has even a vague understanding of bitcoin would know that it is not anything close to a ponzi 
What is the real BTC/USD exchange rates? Something about "I got 2 btc it's like i got 2*X USD"? Where i can find an X? I understand that X depends on my BTC-to-Fiat system but where i can find more information about "how Bitcoin/USD rates generates" and what is something like "average BTC/USD rate"?
The rate "generates" because somebody bought/sold at that price and then that data is published.
If I understand you correctly, you might find this an interesting read. https://bitcoinaverage.com/explain

No it is not, because some exchanges lie about their volume
Lying or zero fee exchanges...
Anyway, if you follow their thread you can see that they are doing a good job filtering out suspects. If you have any concerns, just send them a quick email.
Nice to see more 'proper' mainstream sources are starting to take it seriously now.
