How often is the Bitcoin price updated in the calculator?
The Bitcoin price is fetched when you load the page. For the most up-to-date calculations, you may want to refresh the page periodically, especially during times of high market volatility.
Why do some exchanges or wallets show a different Satoshi amount for the same USD value?
