About this desk
- What you use it for
- Open any coin from the board, or change bitcoin in the address to another CoinGecko id. Switch the line across 1 day, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, and 1 year. From here you can jump to score, risk, the book, voices, or a comparison with bitcoin.
- What the numbers are
- The price, cap, volume, and day’s range are CoinGecko’s. The line is sampled prices over the range you picked. The percent on the line is the last sample versus the first.
- What it leaves out
- The line is not a forecast. If CoinGecko does not return that range, the chart says so. Bitcoin and ether also link to the on-chain day. Other coins do not have that day.
Every desk is introduced the same way on the desk list.

Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm. With a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins and programmatic halvings every four years that reduce miner rewards, Bitcoin is designed as a deflationary digital asset often called "digital gold." Its value stems from solving the double-spending problem without trusted intermediaries, creating the first truly scarce digital asset with censorship resistance and permissionless access th
How to read this
- The price and the percents
- $86,361 is CoinGecko's price now. +3.54% today is versus this coin's own price a day ago. +2.8% over 7 days uses the same idea across the week. Neither percent is a recommendation.
- The line
- The line is sampled prices over 1 year, from $59,726.74 to $121,718.67, down 28.3%. The price now is 29.0% under that range’s high. The percent is the last sample versus the first, not a forecast.
- Cap and volume
- Market cap is price times circulating supply. Volume is dollars traded in the last day, about 2.3% of the cap. A large percent on a small share of the cap is a thinner move than the percent alone suggests.
