What is on this page?
A card for every Cross Markets page: Bitcoin measured in gold, silver, oil and everyday prices, and the wider economy's money, prices, interest rates, growth and jobs. Each card shows its page's latest figure and a small picture of the chart that page opens on.
Why put Bitcoin next to the wider economy?
Bitcoin is priced in dollars, and the dollar, interest rates and everyday prices all move around it. Seeing them side by side helps tell apart what Bitcoin did from what the money it is measured in did.
Why do the cards show different periods?
Each figure is published on its own schedule: interest rates, bond yields and the dollar every working day, central bank holdings every week, most prices every month and growth every quarter. Each card names the period its figure is for.
Where do the figures come from?
From official statistics publishers, each named in the source line at the end of this page, and from Maketo's own record of Bitcoin's price. Some figures, such as ounces of gold per Bitcoin, Maketo works out from the published numbers.
