The important thing here is: the live rate is not the live rate

It is the avg. of the "live rate for buy" and the "live rate for sell"

This is what google shows

But every provider has a spread. As tiny as it might be

(Not to mention volatility, difference between exchanges, etc)

Google shows the last price which an asset was traded for.

On which exchange?

And if an average of prices on different exchanges, which exchanges are included in the average?

How do you know how Google is doing it?
