I made this simple web page a few weeks back to easily monitor the bitcoin price as we waited for 100K. It doesn't do anything special. No charts. No candles. No lines. It's just a number. It refreshes the price from Coinbase every 5 seconds. Now that we hit 100K, it probably won't get much use, but feel free to use it.

I love it ❤️‍🔥 it’s clean

Simple and minimalistic 🥰

My favourite ❤️‍🔥

Derek, what lightning wallet should I use for desktop? I'm coming from zero BTC holdings.

For desktop? Honestly if you're brand new to Bitcoin, I'd just tell you to use Strike if it's available to you. You can easily stack, easily send and receive zaps too. You just scan the invoice on your phone when you're on your desktop.

Is strike KYC? Easy to use like WOS?

Strike is so easy to use as I’ve used it to buy Bitcoin and then send sats to my Alby wallet. I imagine it’s easy to use for buying stuff with too.

Time to track the price to $1M

Maybe 🤔

This is actually pretty slick. I like how it's reactive to browser window re-sizing. Sometimes simple is better!

Thanks!

When people ask if they are late, this maybe a tool. Improves with a bit of explanation but I think it might help put things in perspective. https://www.enogtyve.org/stillearly.html

This is awesome. Thank you. I am a newbie to all this and just enabled my wallet to zap you for this. First zap!

Yeeees

Awesome. You're welcome and thank you.

This is awesome. Added to homescreen!

This is now a proper PWA. If you refresh and reload the web page, you'll be able to "install" it in your desktop or mobile device.

Might fork it, if I can, to display a pounds version

Lemme put it up on GitHub for ya

That will be awesome thanks. I need to update https://nicklewis.blog a little bit this winter, so planning to add some Bitcoin, Nostr integration to it.

Cool thanks, will check it out!

Oh damn, need to change the above card!!

I love it! Shouldn't it be "USD/BTC" though?

USD/BTC would be about 0.00000999.

Hmmm. I always thought the "/" indicated a ratio. i.e. 101,000 USD / 1 BTC. or 0.0000099 BTC / 1 USD. But, ultimately, I'm happy to defer. I still love it. 😍
