Hi Julie

 >Does it mean something went wrong with Finance Quote module install, 
since it doesn't show its version?

Possibly.  You can use the GnuCash gnc-fq-dump utility (it is a Perl 
script) to try and narrow down the problem.  You didn't mention your 
operating system, but your screenshot looks like MacOS?  Anyway, on 
Windows you will typically find this utility in the "C:\Program Files 
(x86)\gnucash\bin" directory, and you can run it from a command prompt. 
  See attached screenshot for an example of successfully fetching prices 
for IBM and Bitcoin using Yahoo.

See if you can try this and let us know the results.

Someone more familiar with MacOS than me may be able to help you further.

Regards

Geoff

treating Bitcoin as a Security vs a Currency.
