Cool, if they finally get it working properly, but I'm waiting for the time you can just google '1btc to usd' or whatever and it brings up the currency conversion automatically like it does for '1gbp to usd' etc.

The question is: Which exchange rate would they take?
But, do be honest, I also don't know, which exchange rate, Google takes for USD EUR conversion.

I think it will work soon, obviously in "beta" stage at the moment

Well I think it will probably just be based on an average like I think they do for other currencies.

day by day, the more this happens the more BTC becomes legitimate. 

great news
after yahoo finance showing BTC, now google finance followed
many good news recently, and many people will recognize bitcoin

yes, when typing btc in to search it pre-empts what your typing and offers choice, so definitely being added to system

It is actually working... price is changing in each refresh. It'll take some time to get the graph.

Damn it, I'm about to panic buy.

Looks like bitstamp.

Very short after Yahoo integrated BTC, Google couldn't risk to stay behind hehe.

But this is very good news :D wish I had more at the moment fiat to buy more BTC

wow, even bigger! great month for BTC  :)

I can see the rate, but I can't add it to a portfolio.  ???

All of these little tidbits of news are great for BTC.   Not really because we need google to see the price of BTC, but more so because it just puts Bitcoin in front of more people's eyes.  The more recognition it has, the more and more it will be adopted...

Working well for me.

I love the fact they pin the news articles along the timeline. It's nice to get a glance at the price after the media reports on different events.

We'll see if this Expedia thing has any movement on the price.

Not only google finance! But also google now! supports it. Really awesome ticker for android smartphones.

OKAY.. this is some cool shit.

I like youre pics  :)

Working now for me (didint wwork few hours ago)! Cool shit! Now, whenever i have "internet" discussion about "is Bitcoin currency or not" i can show this into someones face  ;D (Yes yes, i know this has nothing to do with "is bitcoin currency or not" but it's nice).

Hmmm, they should use BitcoinAverage since it grabs the price from all exchanges and takes volume in account. Much better in my opinion.

No it is not, because some exchanges lie about their volume

All exchanges I have seen on BitcoinAverage are legit. And if they don't want to use BitcoinAverage, they should use Preev.

Nice to see more 'proper' mainstream sources are starting to take it seriously now.

Lying or zero fee exchanges...

Anyway, if you follow their thread you can see that they are doing a good job filtering out suspects. If you have any concerns, just send them a quick email.

This is really good news!

Google finance shouldn't that be really good for bitcoin and expose it more as a real currency not just an internet ponzi

What is the real BTC/USD exchange rates? Something about "I got 2 btc it's like i got 2*X USD"? Where i can find an X? I understand that X depends on my BTC-to-Fiat system but where i can find more information about "how Bitcoin/USD rates generates" and what is something like "average BTC/USD rate"? 

The rate "generates" because somebody bought/sold at that price and then that data is published.

If I understand you correctly, you might find this an interesting read. https://bitcoinaverage.com/explain

Anyone that has even a vague understanding of bitcoin would know that it is not anything close to a ponzi

Very cool! BTC looks poised to take off into the thousands again! Hopefully.

This should allow more people to discover and explore bitcoin. Over the long term it should help get more people to use bitcoin

Google is an internet GIANT. This further legitimizes and mainstreams bitcoin. Although I'm surprised yahoo finance beat google to adding charts for bitcoin. Once other altcoins like LTC gets big enough, I'm sure they'll follow suit.

Yes Indeed...

Bitcoin is the worst shit i have ever met  :P it is so sticky, hard to remove, stinky, adding that it grows and gets stronger by itself...

oh yes but we can't live without it, just hold the shit for a little and see what happens  8)

I doubt any of the alts will ever make it on to major finance sites as they generally can only be traded for BTC as apposed for actual goods/services (virtually no merchants accept them). They are also tiny when compared to bitcoin

So wait... it looks like it is BTC and not XBT?
And Bitcoin is a currency, not an asset?

Of course it is, it's what it's used for. It's only the US govt that considers it an asset, and we're all better off for it.

I got it to work just fine. In a couple years, we will see total mass adoption..

Looks like Google and Yahoo are making the decision for us - BTC over XBT. They can always change at a later date (if ISO rules that XBT is the chosen abbreviation), but I'd say momentum is on the side of BTC, and now XBT is dead.

Personally, I think this is a good thing. Since neither was an official designation, maybe BTC will be made official by ISO, and the government of Bhutan will just have to stay away from issuing a "coin" or "convertable peso" or "colon" or anything starting with a "C".

More likely, they'll come up with a Digital designation, like D-BTC. With alts coming out 3 a day, we'll eat up the Xxx designations too quickly. There have probably already been more than 262 alts.

No need to worry about the alts eating up all the 3-letter abbreviations, most of them will not even survive long enough to be standardized by any any institution.

It does work for me. They are fetching data from Coinbase.
