I like this feed - a more centralized collection of cryptocurrency news, however it is unfortunate that left sidebar does not show currency. At the moment of writing this comment it BTC is worth 13081.8 of something.. is it USD, EUR, LTL?

Currently its in USD, but good point. I will show it in USD and add the ability to change the currency of your choice.
The first thing I went looking for, was a way to set this to EUR, because I am european. There is no such setting.

A small word of unwanted advice for anyone developing anything related to crypto-currency tickers: don't add "multi currency" as an afterthought. E.g. coinmarketcap's API, or the CoinCap interface have hacked this in. It's ugly, inconsistent and feels amateurish. Nothing wrong with adding "mutli-currency" in a later phase, but this is certainly not a "YANGI" thing: There are far, far more people out there, who will want to use your product, but who don't use USD than there are that use USD.

Multi-currency selector is live.
I tried it, but somehow it does not store my setting. It looses it after every state change (page navigation).

This is on Firefox, latest stable. I cannot see any session, cookie or local-storage that would've stored my setting, nor do I see any network activity that would've stored the setting in my account.

It looks like a bug of some sort.

Ah yes, thanks for catching that. Will fix.
We are working on getting this out asap.
