Price (Component) isn't working any more (coinmarketcap) about eth.build HOT 5 OPEN

Co-founder at CoinGecko here, may i suggest considering our public and free API at https://www.coingecko.com/en/api

We have helped to power many apps in the Ethereum ecosystem. It is quite easy to implement and flexible with support for contract addresses lookup, etc.

Suggest to give it a try! I am here if you have any questions.

@tmlee maybe you can make a pull request to add this?

@Polycarpik I can integrate this immediately.

@tmlee Its indeed very easy. I am using the request module to extract the price. This eth.build is so flexible. Using the API of coingecko: https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/simple/price?ids=ethereum&vs_currencies=usd

from eth.build.

What would be the cleaner approach for using coingecko:

1. using coingecko-api npm package: creates 1 new dependency but potentially enables new features e.g. price charts
2. just using the API directly without package
   Thoughts?
