Title: View prices in both BTC and USD
Post by: ThatOneGuyWithAids on August 04, 2011, 07:57 pm
I would like to see listings in both BTC and USD. I know how much BTC I have and also want to know how much the item costs in USD. I can't do the conversion fast enough in my head. It would be helpful if I could see both at the same time.

This would be nice..  But I find it almost jsut as easy to open another tab on my browser and use google as my calculator.

+1 for useful idea
-1 for confusing to people new to btc, the Silk Road ticker, and Mtgox floating average. increasing craziness.

I think people pay too much attention to moment by moment shifts in the btc market. It is important, especially when thing move as much as they have been, but this makes us all day traders. We need less bitcoin day traders not more. Speculation is a different game and doesn't belong here and is harmful to Silk Road. Do your day trading on MtGox

I do check conversions, but I try very hard not to. Watching minute by minute will just make you crazy and leads to panics and huge shifts.

I'd love to see both...it would make it a lot easier than running to use my calculator, make it easy to see what I'm paying.

hmm i always just throw into into USD mode before ive transferred any money from my bank so i can estimate how much i want to put on there, and then i overestimate just a little. then, wen i come back with a buncha bitcoins, i no longer need to see the USD so i flip it back into bitcoin mode for my actual shopping... i mean, it WOULD be cool to see both at once but... i never NEED both even in the same day... :P wutever, maybe my voice was pointless here lol ~smod
