Steps to completion
- Identify different sources of price data and propose in this issue (perhaps coindesk)
- Add code to obtain price data over a range and update
fiat/GetPricesto allow users to choose a backend - Update rpc to allow choice of backends

Research direction
Start by reading the fiat/GetPrices entry point and the existing CoinCap price-data path, then inspect the rpc surface that exposes fiat data. Compare suitable price sources, define how a backend is selected and queried over a range, and update both fiat and rpc so users can choose it; done means an alternate backend works without changing price calculation logic.
