比特币里程碑:被列入主流雅虎财经

June 11, 2014, 03:06:21 PM

在过去的24个小时,比特币的价格数据进入主流金融世界已经又迈出一大步，。
继彭博在四月下旬在交易终端增加了比特币价格，计算型知识引擎WolframAlpha也增加了比特币价格之后，雅虎财经也纷纷效仿，现在显示BTC /美元的价格,和其他法币一样。
除了最新价格，雅虎还列出了开盘/收盘价和范围，以及比特币相关新闻条目的索引。
网站增加加比特币的效果显著，因为它为潜在的新兴庞大的观众提供给了最新的价格数据。根据2012年5月份的数据，雅虎财经在美国拥有超过3750万的每月独立访问者，是访问量最高的财经新闻和研究网站。
社区反应

社区的反应是积极的，有reddit的评论者称赞此举是比特币进军全球的重要一步。
“这简直是一天中最好的消息，日子还长！”一位评论者说。 “又一个批准的印章，”另一个评论者说。
其他评论者想知道雅虎财经是采用哪里的价格数据，流行的交易所Bitstamp比较有可能。
事实上，价格似乎和Bitstamp相当默契，两个坐标都略低于CoinDesk Bitcoin的价格指数，这一事实还有待确认。
iPhone上“股票”应用程序上的BTC /美元图表
redditors指出另一个价格因素，由于苹果依赖于雅虎财经的数据，它的iOS和OS X的的’股票’应用程序也可以被设置为显示比特币的价格，虽然历史数据不多，请求数据超过一周就会报错。
比特币登上网络上最主流的金融页面，无疑是一个里程碑。也许只有比特币登陆谷歌才可能比这更具冲击力。
那是后话了，到目前为止，搜索巨头仍然不愿意这样做。
评论：利好，里程碑的事件，当然，要进军全球，还需要中国这一里程碑。
Access to bitcoin price data in the world of mainstream finance has taken another big step in the last 24 hours.
Following Bloomberg’s recent addition of bitcoin to its trading terminals in late April, and its inclusion on computational knowledge engine WolframAlpha, Yahoo! Finance has followed suit and now displays the BTC/USD price along with its many other listed fiat currencies.
Along with the latest price, Yahoo! also lists opening/closing prices and ranges, plus an index of bitcoin-related news items.

The addition of bitcoin to the site is significant as it will make up-to-date price data available to a potentially new and sizeable audience. According to data for May 2012, Yahoo! Finance was the top financial news and research website in the US with more than 37.5 million unique visitors per month.
Community reaction
Reaction from the community has been positive, with reddit commenters hailing the move as another step in bitcoin’s march to global acceptance.
“This is literally the best news I’ve had all day, and the day is still young!” said one commenter. “Another nice stamp of approval,” said another.
Other commenters have wondered what source Yahoo! Finance is using for its data, with popular exchange Bitstamp mentioned as a possibility.
Indeed the prices seem to match quite closely, both sitting slightly below the CoinDesk Bitcoin Price Index, but this fact remains to be confirmed.

BTC/USD chart on the iPhone ‘Stocks’ app
A further factor noted by redditors is that fact that, since Apple relies on Yahoo! Finance data, it’s ‘Stocks’ apps for both iOS and OS X can also be set to display the bitcoin price, though historical data is not extensive and an error arises with requests older than one week.
The presence of bitcoin on one of the most mainstream finance pages on the web is surely a milestone for the currency. Perhaps only bitcoin’s inclusion on Google could be more impactful.
So far, however, that is something the search giant remains reluctant to do.
