This is not journalism. I would call it a clown show, but that would be an insult to clowns. Grayfell ( talk) 20:17, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

that pricing and transactions should never be talked about, only that making statements about financial data during arbitrary snapshots like 'January 2022' is unencyclopedic. MrOllie ( talk) 21:37, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
A time frame should be given as at the time the transactions may be billions but next month could drop to zeroMore or less my point. To talk about such things we should rely on sources that are written after some time has passed and which put such things into a historical context. When a source that is written in January 2022 is used to note that some number ticked upward that month that context is missing, and as Wikipedia editors we cannot build it ourselves per WP:SYN. It is important not to indiscriminately list transient facts just because some financial site happened to post a number. MrOllie ( talk) 21:52, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
