Bitcoin in the News : 2023-09 Price

I've been using the price chart service at Cointelegraph.com since Bitcoin in the News : 2017-01 Price (February 2017). In all that time I've never had a major problem with it -- until now. Simply put, the service isn't returning a price chart.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Index

The light gray text near the center of the chart says, 'No Results'. I tried checking the four different price sources on the second line of the chart, plus various combinations of them, and received the same message every time.

A few other changes are worth noting. This is the first time since Bitcoin in the News : 2023-01 Price (February 2023) that the chart has listed more sources than Coinbase and Kraken. It is also the first time that Binance has been included in the sources since Bitcoin in the News : 2019-07 Price (August 2019).

The URL, which points to 'Bitcoin Price Index', has been in use since the '2017-01 Price' post. It now redirects to a URL that has dropped the last word 'Index', as in 'Bitcoin Price', although the top line of the page still says, 'Bitcoin Price Index'. When I first saw the redirected URL at the beginning of the week, the chart was missing completely, replaced by text that I neglected to read. If the price chart isn't restored before the next post on this blog, I'll look for another source for the chart.

Later: First crack at a replacement chart service.

Yahoo.com is the same service I used in the early days of this blog. See, for example, Bitcoin in the News : 2016-12 Price (January 2017). At that time I wrote,

Like so many Yahoo services, the charting service I used for that post has declined in quality.

Nearly seven years later, the service is still available. Beggars can't be choosers, but I'll continue exploring the options for next month's post.
