Reading a bitcoin quote: price, time and percentage change
The timestamp is part of the financial information.
The record and its limits
In Reuters’ 29 September market report at 04:31 EDT, bitcoin was quoted at $84,020.25, up 0.6%. Those numbers describe one reported observation. They should be kept together with the timestamp: a saved article cannot establish the price available to a reader opening it later.
