what i wanted was the daily prices of each currency since ever.
You can still get this on coinmarketcap.
Just click on Bitcoin (or the coin you want the data for), click on the "Historical Data" tab, and then on the date selection boxes on the right hand side, use the drop down menu to select "All time". It will give you the Open, High, Low, and Close price, on each day, as well as the daily volume.
You could also use
https://www.cryptodatadownload.com/data/ to download daily or even hourly data from various exchanges in .csv format.
There's also
https://coinmetrics.io/data-downloads/ which will give you more data than you will probably ever need on a bunch of different coins. Be sure to check their "data dictionary" (link at top of the list) to figure out what you are actually looking at.
