Tracking cryptocurrency accounts #21

Hi! Thanks for creating this useful tool.

I'm Dutch, living in Malaysia and have accounts in 3 different currencies.. it can get tricky.

I also have some holdings in bitcoin / ethereum. Would it be possible to add this as a currency to this tool? The Nomics.com api (https://p.nomics.com/cryptocurrency-bitcoin-api) would probably be succinct in getting the required currency conversion rates.

I'm unfortunately not really capable at RUST and definitely not good enough in coding to learn the nuances, so I understand if it's not possible, just curious :)

P.s. As alternative option I was thinking to make a little app that fetches the conversion rate (compared to my base currency) every 12 to 24 hrs and updates the asset amount in YNAB.

P.p.s I could be of help with the front-end & design if you'd like. Preferably using something like NextJS. I'm learning. Might reach me at t.me/dylandamsma

It's definitely possible, and would be fairly straightforward (though not trivial) to implement. I don't have any imminent plans to implement this, given limited time, but it's an enhancement I'd considered before (I actually do some cryptocurrency development at my job, but I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole for my own money 😀).

I noticed that the Currency Converter API that this tool uses now supports Bitcoin (see list of supported currencies). That means you can now use currency code BTC for Bitcoin accounts.
