(The image is just a sketch.) I would like to see the Bitcoin real-time price on the forum. A simple ticker on the top always visible would be enough. In my opinion, it has to be a non-intrusive design. Options: - Only the price - Ticker marquee, arrows green/red, % If this proposal is viable, I think it would be easier to import a marquee from a reliable portal or exchange of reference. Although a marquee with the price, the arrows in green and red with the percentages of profit or loss, would be perfect. For people, Bitcointalk is the Bitcoin forum par excellence, for me a small Bitcoin logo with the price, it would be fine. What is your opinion, you like the idea of seeing the price of Bitcoin in the forum?

I think this has already been discussed and the consensus was that it would be unnecessary (?) If you really want this i'm pretty sure you can inject it into your webpage with JS and a simple script pretty easily.
As per Tryninja: theymos (or some famous members) already said somewhere that this would make the forum have the "too much price dependent" vision.
1 BTC = 1 BTC. And that's what matters.
I'm not sure what his source for this is, couldn't find it.

It would be nice feature to have, but as AdolfinWolf suggested better ask guys who are making scripts and extensions: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5148488.0I am sure it will not be hard for them to make this.

It's been suggested many times. Probably won't happen, but I think someone has made a script for it.

Since I expect I'm not the only one that watches Bitcoin price in something different than US Dollar, I think that such change would either never be useful for everybody, either too much to work on it to make it configurable. So I agree it's a feature we can miss.

I don't think it's quite needed, even if it's actually nice, but it's rather not a necessity. The forum is meant to serve as a discussion arena, making the price of bitcoin visible would make it look more or less like an exchange for trading and also placing too much importance on what the price actually is. You can simply log on to coinmarketcap in a split second to check out what the price is at.

Here's how this will play out, when the prices of bitcoin increase/decreasing the percentages of posts created towards the price change will be more that usual and a major catalyst will be the price tags display as you suggest. People discussion what they see. If the forum was to pin any price tags, the 1Bitcoin = 1BTC reminder should be promoted as this will send a strong message to the community each time they see it.

If you are browsing the forum with just one screen, tablet or mobile device, it is comfortable to always see the price of BTC.
Bitcointalk is the home of Bitcoin, he was born here,
1BTC = 1BTC, I agree with this, but the price always visible would be a good detail, for the forum and for BTCitcoin.
No problem, it was just a suggestion.

Depending on whether it's possible to encapsulate the price when it gets stated, there might be ways attacks occur on the forum to try to deanonymise it's users and it might get annoying for some people (like if we have a huge drop and they want to just talk about bitcoin but they keep seeing the price falling/rising from their target)... It's been suggested many times. Probably won't happen, but I think someone has made a script for it.
Be careful when using stuff like this as you may be giving access to more than you should with a price ticker (one I know of was one that changed the address in the blockchain.com web wallet). That will be interesting to see, you might want to look at getting the exchange rate from somewhere like preev if they have an api (as they use an average for their pricing).

It would be nice to have. Even better would be configurable trading pairs. User choice to see BTC/USD or BTC/Pesos, or even something like USD/BTC and ETH/ETC, etc. Maybe somewhere in account settings, you could add maybe up to 5 pairs that would be at the top or the bottom of the screen. I guess most people use other sites for that type of function but would be cool to have here especially when talking in speculation, we can all 'ooh' and 'ahh' at the roller coaster together.

I think this has already been discussed and the consensus was that it would be unnecessary (?)
I honestly don't recall it being brought up, but I might have had the new forum software section blocked or something. No, it's not necessary but I think it's a great idea. It would be a nice thing to be able to see what the price is when I'm posting in Speculation. I don't check preev all that often and I find that I have to before I write something speculative. Not all suggestions have to be necessary in order for them to be good, and I think this is a good one. It would be nice to have. Even better would be configurable trading pairs. User choice to see BTC/USD or BTC/Pesos, or even something like USD/BTC and ETH/ETC, etc.
Sure, why not? Unfortunately it's not up to us plebians, but Theymos--and I don't know anything about the forum's software and how difficult it would be to implement a ticker. I do hope he considers it.

It is unnecessary, I agreed. I do believe that no one in the forum don't observe bitcoin price when they boost their computers. Of course, if they have time to do spare things, and not have to completely focus on important works at their offices. For people whom dedicate their full time for bitcoin/ crypto, sure they will do check bitcoin price after their computers turn on. In addition, real-time price of bitcoin might be annoying, sometime, when we need to focus on what we read and write. It is exactly the same like what was complained by community, and disable by admin, animated avatars. Stop animated images in FireFox / Tor browser / ChromeOK, APNGs are now detected. Old ones are grandfathered for now, in part because people have ongoing campaigns, but in the future I might (or might not) go through and remove them.
Anyway, this is userscript, so it can be used for personal favorites, I don't offend it, but I do think that people who support that script and actually use it will still sometimes feel it annoying.

Theymos don't want to relate the price of bitcoin with fiat I guess that is why he didn't want to implement the feature of one bitcoin is equal to how many USDs.
Even if he want the problem with the what price should report there,price from coinmarket or any specific exchange there is no absolute right prices to be honest.
