Abstract

This paper presents a solution for the simple visualization of Bitcoin price. Current applications are often complex and include an amount of information that might be useful to some people. However, if someone is only interested in knowing the price, then these applications are needlessly complicated. Our proposed solution aims to display only a simple and clear visualization of price in a selected period and comparison to historical data. In the paper, we describe how to acquire data from online sources and process and visualize them in a simple graphic chart. The prototype is developed as a web application to make it accessible on both desktop and mobile devices.
