The first observation that I noticed is that the price of Bitcoin is completely different from the market price. As shown in the picture, the price of Bitcoin on the site is $54,540, while the market price is currently $61,214.

The other thing is that you say that "the platform is 100% free as a service to the community". This is illogical and could make the site suspicious because no one would believe that a site provides a completely free service without any fees while it needs to pay fees for hosting, support, and other site services.
Hello,

The price is live updated every 60 seconds with an API directly from CoinDesk. (I need to verify if there's a bug.) And yes, it's free because it costs me nothing (only the domain name, $9/year). I have self-coded it, and for the hosting, it's on my personal VPS that I use for other personal projects.

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

Best❤️
