[List] Alternate for preev.com to get fiat value for your cryptos while tx

[Patatas]

I never actually understood the BTC rates on preev, the certainly were lesser compared to the rates once gets on google or other trading exchanges. Why has preev sort of had become a standard while choosing the BTC rates? I mean one can simply use the rates you get on google search and comply with the same?

Maybe it's your cookies I've asked some of my friends on social media 8 of them and they all told me they are using it and it's rarely goes down, in fact, I have been using this for several days now

Apparently I can't access from my internet home unless I use an VPN. I'm not sure why this is happening. And it's not a problem with my computer, since neither my phone is able to access it with the WiFi. Some "is it down" websites also appear to show the website as down while others are just fine.

BTC rates on Preev aren't taken from thin air. They display rates taken from Bitfinex, Bitstamp, Kraken and LocalBitclins. I don't know why Preev become a standard when checking BTC prices, but probably it's mainly because it was simpliest and most convenient place to check it when there wasn't so many options as we have today.

There is a gear icon at the top-right corner of the page that shows where the rates come from and which exchanges you want to consider/disconsider.

By default, it uses the medium rates between Bitstamp and Kraken, which I believe makes sense to price BTC trades. People could just use the exchange which the biggest/lowest price (based on if they are selling or buying) to get the best rate (for them). This way it's good for both sides.

There is also a note about this in the bottom of the page:

Price data is continually gathered from multiple markets. A weighted average price of these markets is shown by default (based on 24-hour trade volume). Alternatively, you can choose a specific source from the settings menu.

It looks like no one mention this one of preev competitors check this one https://currencio.co

They support more cryptos and currencies compared to preev so I think this is one you are looking for.

@Patatas @LTU_btc

In the early days, Preev.com was THE website for the Bitcoin' price for a single reason. It was one of the first and only to do it, not much any other. Someone mentioned Google's alternative. This one came a long time after (It hasn't been that long since google has been giving the real-time price)
