    As more and more people are buying crypto currency and trading them, the more there is a need to keep with the current rates for these digital assets. Especially since the price of these currencies are on a meteoric rise in the last few months.

      As bitcoin has touched new price highs on Thursday nearing the US$5Ok handle, people have been curious as to where the price will go in the future. Meanwhile, despite the gains so far, a number of luminaries, analysts, executives, and proponents from the crypto space believe the leading crypto asset will reach between US$60k to six-digits this year. Bitcoin still remains the Future of Finance, I will advise every investor to keep buying and accumulating, or better still if you want to make more profit with what you already have, get a Great Mentor and teacher like mine (Dr. Mike Laury ) to guide you through, I have made over 9Btc profit since the October Rally, thanks to my mentor {@Mikelaurycrypto} on Telegram for always helping me OUT, You can also reach him on whatsappp_+I(323)47I_38OO__ for any crypto relates issues

      Beware of the wealth transfers coming between the asset classes. They typically follow large trends across large time periods. Right now property is what everybody is buying, and I heard from someone that it'll soon switch back to precious metals PLUS cryto currencies.

      Don't know how I bumped onto this. Anyway GREAT content πŸ₯‡. I also have been watching those similar from MStarTutorials and kinda wonder how you guys create these vids. MStar Tutorials also had cool info about similiar make money online things on his vids.

      Yahoo finance also has a very handy API that outputs stock data (OHLC) in csv format.

      Of course csv is just plain text, so you can format the output with your favourite command line tools such as cut, tail, sed, etc… awk in particular works really well for csv files.

      Not only it has data on crypto but also pretty much any stock and other assets. Only offers day level data but it does provide you with the current price. Nice if you want to plot historical prices.

      Hi, since I began watching your videos, I started using qtile and it is extraordinary to be able to make our own widgets , I have even done my own crypto widget as I watch several coins. And know new tools! Thank you!

      Regarding cryptocurrency prices on the cli I work with ledger (the program if John Wiegley) and a small bash-script updating my prices_db. With that I not only get the prices I am interested but also my current portfolio value. All in all I can highly recommend ledger.

      hey DT!! nice video, a silly question which is the app that you are using to generate in your terminal funny images at starting terminal, as in 2:33. I've seeing your videos and notice you allways add that kind of customization doesn't matter which terminal emulator you use. I normally use neofetch but want to change the sex and peel of my terminals!!, thank you in advance

      nice, thanks ! … had that on my todo list for a while^^

      here is a line that works in my conky config and displays XMR in €uros πŸ˜€

      [[
      ${color3} XMR ${color1} ${execpi 300 curl eur.rate.sx/xmr |grep end |awk '{print ($8)}' }
      ]]
      (I hope i got execpi right and ping the server every 6 minutes only if not please correct me !)
