How does this work?

Bitcoin Global is an open source bitcoin and fiat rates price tracker.

All bitcoin price information is indexed directly from local bitcoin exchanges. Fiat currency exchange rates are sourced from central banks or other alternative sources to reflect market rates accurately, especially in situations such as the Argentine Blue Dollar where the unofficial rate significantly differs from the official rate.

Bitcoin price data may experience a 15-minute delay, while fiat currency price data could have delays exceeding one hour.

Motivation

The main objective of the project is to illustrate the varying prices of Bitcoin across different countries. The outcome is a map that visually highlights the regions where Bitcoin is more affordable compared to others, providing a clear depiction of where it is cheaper and where it is more expensive.
