From CoinMarketCap to Yahoo Finance to CoinGecko

I have moved from CoinMarkertCapt to Yahoo Finance to CoinGecko for data.  I originally started with CoinMarketCap.com but I had problems with the company's strict personal and commercial use policies.  I have tried using Yahoo Finance but I encountered problems with the Yahoo Finance API. These problems have yet to be fixed.  I have found that CoinGecko's API works well and has a very open personal use policy.

If you are looking for data on crypto, you might want to take a look at CoinGecko's API. It can be found here: https://www.coingecko.com/en/api

Hopefully, my smaller sample size will overcome this problem.

Some of the reasons for these problems include: 1) Network congestion: As more applications and users have joined the Solana network, the network has become congested, leading to delays and slower transaction processing times. This has resulted in higher fees and increased the risk of network congestion-related issues. 2) Centralization of network validators: The Solana network currently relies on a limited number of validators, which are responsible for validating transactions and maintaining the integrity of the blockchain. This centralization has raised concerns about the security and decentralization of the network, particularly if the...
