Title: Best *averaged* BTC price website?
Post by: BittBurger on January 27, 2014, 05:19:15 AM
Which website is generally considered the most reputable site for determining the averaged BTC price across all exchanges?

I assume weighted average is best?

Thanks.

Bitcoinaverage is in my opinion the best site for this purpose.

Anything that doesn't include MtGox, which both Preev and BitcoinAverage still do unfortunately. Preev also doesn't seem to use a volume-weighted average, so the Gox-effect is even more pronounced there.

Just check Preev, and find the following line.

For this reason the most accurate price is an average of bitstamp and btce

Preev

I agree with that. Preev.com is the best!
