I've used Quote Loader and when attempting load from any provider (Yahoo, Yahoo HD or FT), clicking "Get Prices" results in a red cell and 0.0 value for the BTC currency price.</p>
<p>I've also attempted to give the currency an ID matching that used at Yahoo Finance, i.e. BTC-USD, but to no avail.</p>
<p>I see in the discussion from 2016 at <a href="https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/discussions/investments/1060-bitcoin-pricerate-update">1</a> that fetching the bitcoin price worked at some point, but I cannot get it to work on my side with Moneydance 2020 and the most recent Quote Loader version.</p>
<p>In the meantime, I'm downloading the BTC-USD price CSV from Yahoo Finance and using the 'Import from File' method to update the price in Moneydance. It would be great to avoid this repetitive process, though. Any ideas?</p></div>Chris Beamstag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/490374862021-02-16T09:32:24Z2021-02-16T09:32:24ZAutomatic updates for the Bitcoin currency rate<div><p>I am not support staff, just a user.<br>

I've been trying to create an automatical calculator of prices for different stuff in bitcoins. But for that I need an automatic update for the currency rate, and I don't know how to do it. To be more explicit, I need something like <a href="https://lambo2btc.com">here</a>. On that site I saw an automatic calculator of lamborghini aventador price in bitcoins, and I thought that it's great idea, and I decided to do the same thing in my project. But for some reason it just doesn't work. Since you have the same problem - maybe you can give a piece of advice? Thank you in advance!!!</p></div>black.m0n4rchtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/490374862021-04-27T19:13:05Z2021-04-27T19:13:05ZAutomatic updates for the Bitcoin currency rate<div><p>I am not support staff, just a user.<br>
