I only check preev.com for 99% of the time, the other 1% of the time I'm glancing at the value shown by Coinbase.

The difference between the two is that, if I remember correctly, preev.com shows the average of most exchanges, while Coinbase typically has a slightly inflated value (which could be because of the update time it has).

I check Blockchain.info only as preev.com has become inaccurate after the downtime. The price there has gone below blockchain.info. Except blockchain, you can check bitstamp.net.

Honestly, I would first go to Google and type in BTC to (insert currency here) most of the time and then from there, compare different bitcoin price checkers. It's one of the easiest things (at least for me) I find to check bitcoin's price.

I've found Google's bitcoin price indicator to be inaccurate quite a few times in the past, so I've stopped using it. It looks like it's a couple dollars off at the moment I'm comparing it; has Google made improvements on it? Still a little skeptical.

I'm using google.com for most of the time (when i use my PC/laptop) and i'll use preev.com when i use my mobile to check the bitcoin price. Both were  nearly having the equal price!

Most of the time I just use preev.com. If I am on my phone I sometimes use coinbase because I have the app and it is just easier than opening preev.com on chrome.

Just as always, btc-e.com.

They have the best layout, easy to see things, not eye tiring colors. Easy to find what you are looking for. And they have a fun "trollbox". Best way to watch lines while getting trolled.

As mentioned a lot initially in this thread, I use preev.com and bitcoincharts to find out what the current going rate of Bitcoin is. There aren't a whole lot of sources that offer fairly comprehensive looks at the value of Bitcoin over a lot of exchanges.

I see the evolution on xapo...
and i have an api on one of my sites...so i have often an overview ... but it does nor matter stongly for me if the price changes...of course for me the best were stability or slow changing.

Google's price indicator is not that inaccurate. It's more or less right with few cents up or down compared to coinbase. This is what I've noticed and many prefer Google than other exchange websites.

Current price on Google is 456.91 and on Coinbase is $457.06

BTC-e because most of my trades are finished there so price on BTC e is most important, but still i'm watching and other exchanges when i'm trading, but BTC arbitrage is almost impossible these days.

My all time favourite is blockchain.info exactly markets.blockchain.info which provide full statistics with trading graph. But if i just have to look at price only than i find lastb.it quite simple and working fine.

i use preev.com for checking the price because it is fast and easy. but if i want extra information and news about bitcoin i check Coindesk.com

and if i really want charts and stuff like that i check bitcoinwisdom

I use google to determine the price of Bitcoin.I usually search 1 btc to usd in the Google search bar and get a rough estimate. I find this to be tthe easiest way to find the price of Bitcoin.

I tend to use the Bitcoinmarkets subreddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/

It has a live ticker at the top for prices from Bitstamp, Kraken and OK coin that update in real time. If you hover your cursor over the logos, it should show you the live prices of all their markets (eg btc/yen, btc/euro etc)

I usually just do a quick google search for a rough estimate and have around $2.5+- as for margin of errors. Whenever I feel the need for a high accuracy check, I do check the price at coinbase like when I'm going to do a transaction or something.

as simple as this,I will go to google and type "btc price" and then it will show the current price in my country's currency

Strictly out of habit I go to coinbase as it is also a great spot to find the latest news that I would not come across in other areas,unless I look in the press sub forum.
Used to use btc-e for a quick gauge of the price but no longer as they track in American dollars and there is a significant difference with the Canadian dollar right now.
