## What it is
rate.sx is a console (terminal) service for viewing realtime cryptocurrency and fiat exchange rates via curl or a browser. It supports currency conversion, historical rate charts, and displays top coins with market cap data in a clean terminal table.

## Use cases
- check bitcoin price from the terminal with curl
- convert 10 BTC to USD in the shell
- view ethereum price history for the last 30 days as a chart
- see top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap in the console
- compare 1 BTC vs 10 ETH value from the command line
- get exchange rates in euros instead of dollars

## When to choose
- you want quick crypto price checks without installing anything, just curl
- you prefer terminal-based tools over websites or apps
- you need historical exchange rate graphs in the console
- you want a fast, minimal currency converter in the shell

## When to avoid
- you need programmatic JSON APIs or SDK integrations
- you require trading execution or wallet functionality, not just rates
- you need every altcoin — only the top 500 cryptocurrencies are supported
- you need the currency conversion feature, which is currently not supported

## Facets
