Long ride The Bitcoin Rider! :)

[ChartInsights]

Hi there! 

Check this out! A fun way to keep track with the BTC/USD price. A motorbiker rides on a landscape the curvature of which follows the BTC/USD price live:

I'm not sure if something like that extists already on the web (in that case, please comment!). I just thought it was a fun idea to put to practice and programmed the little cartoon.

Comments/Suggestions are welcomed! Thanks!

Cheers,

Till date, preev.com works best for me. I still wonder who runs it though!

Thanks for the hint!

Interesting. Minimalistic and straight to the point.

The scope, however, is a bit different: No "entertainment" there.

But it gives a good suggestion, in that I could implement the possibility to select the source of the price. This might have drawbacks with the animation though, which becomes more interesting when the price refers to a source where the liquidity is high.

It is indeed fun to watch. Unfortunately it's only fun, I guess that most will still prefer the plain data.

When I don't need charts I usually check preev for the price of Bitcoin in USD or EUR and very seldom I need another site that offers more altcoins and more fiat currencies too.
Since your website doesn't have anything of this, it'll remain something to watch now and then for fun, when one is not in a hurry.

Well, that's so cute, ^[LMAO].
He will not get tired of a long ride or run out of gas? Good thing he is not in the city that he needs to stop once in a while because of the traffic light Lol. I find it nice in fact, -- I simpler and minimalistic than graphs from other sites though it lacks some details and keen information that we really need if you need just of a glance then this site id perfect I recommend it to those who are having a hard time reading graphs or the likes. And for pro traders, this may have no use at all they need more detailed information when it comes to exchanges.

Lol, yeah, I thought that myself too. But fortunately it is a fictional character. ;-)

Yeah, that's not definitely targeted to pro traders. But the idea is to increase, in the following releases, the amount of information it can provide at a glance, like, for example, background scrolling landsape layer(s) with different price timeframes. Until now I kept it simple, also because increasing the complexity without careful coding can affect heavily the performance on smaller devices.

It's entertaining to watch as it drives without an end.

I think you need to add something on your rider and make it more interesting. There are other bitcoin price watchers and being visited by most people as mentioned.

What I thought is that someone has to send first bitcoin to make it drive but it's not.

That's cute!
Its fun to watch that motorbike moving, hope there's new background so it is not boring to watch but anyway that's not the main goal as the main purpose is to check the updated bitcoin price which is very useful to those who wanted to check out btc price without opening crypto wallets. I let out that link of yours in my browser so I can easily check the price just by opening that tab.

Maybe you can adjust font size to emphasize the btc price.

What I like with the website is that when the price goes up and down, the track of the rider also changes
I wonder what will happen if the Bitcoin price continues to go up JK.

I'm a minimalist guy most of the time I'm using preev too to check the prices. I'm expecting that you will add something on your website aside from the price of Bitcoin or possible other coins too .

Following suggestions on Reddit, I have added the live price on the tab of the webpage. This can be quite handy when browsing other pages. Also dark mode is now available.

Thanks for the comment! Yeah, actually the track is continually "renormalized" to a centain Y position, so, if the bitcoin price continues to increase you will see a continuous slope. Only if the slope is too steep, the rider will jump out of the screen.
I will surely add more features with time, but I'll also be careful not to put too many things. In fact, the original idea would be to keep the animation as minimalistic as possible.

Thanks for the suggestions! Actually, a couple of days ago I updated the website so that it can display the price on the tab, so you don't even need to click on it to check the price.

Hi! I released a new version!

The most important feature are the mountains on the background. The most distant mountains depict the curve of the price in the last 24 hours, while the foreground mountains show the price curve of the last hour.
This allows to get the BTCUSD price situation at a glance.

Minor new features:

- Tattoo. The Bitcoin Rider decided to get a sleek tattoo with the Bitcoin symbol on his arm to celebrate the overtaking of the previous ATH. ;-)

- A link is provided to access previous versions ("Previous Incarnations..."). This is useful in case the new version(s) will suffer from performance degradation on some devices

- Shooting stars

- New donation buttons

Comments and suggestions are as always welcomed! :-)

I also approve much better of preev.com but I must say that the BTC rider created is an interesting little gimmick. In fact it reminds me of this rider type motorbike game I played a long time ago 

It certainly keeps things interesting...

It is fun to watch. Good work, keep it up.

This is a very unique image for knowing the price of Bitcoin or USD by the way someone rides a motorbike, I think this idea is good enough not to get tired of seeing price movements by looking at pictures like this and feeling amused by them. But what I want to ask is how do I make this price exactly the same as the current price and so on?

You’ve successfully taken me to the website you’re directing. Yes, this is interesting, I love animations like this and it’s quite entertaining.
Cartoon methods like this are the first time I’ve seen them. Usually, we see specific charts, this is a different view to see the price movement.
It’s pretty light. You are very creative and have expertise in making cartoon animation.

Thanks all for the feedback and the nice words! It surely helps in keeping it going. And any suggestion you could come with is always appreciated.

But what I want to ask is how do I make this price exactly the same as the current price and so on?

The price is updated in real time, so I am not sure I understand this... What do you mean precisely?
