Yes, that's the problem with quoting prices. Most articles I see written about publicly traded stocks at least pull a current price. With something as volatile as Bitcoin, this becomes even more important.

This is a huge problem and most sites that do report the price often report it wrong. If you are interested here is the realtime price segmented via a streaming pool of reputable exchanges that stream their trades directly for tally vs. tickers. So the accuracy is high and by the minute. API is also available. [1]
