Widening gap mean what , we go up or down Huh
The gap means that having 1.00 USD in a MtGox account is as good as having ~0.85 USD in a Bitstamp or other exchange's account.  The widening means that the "Gox dollar" is losing value.


Is there a way to trade on the difference between the two.  Thanks from the "new guy"

That is called "arbitrage trading". As far as I can tell, it is happening all the time and is keeping all markets in lockstep, even those of other cryptocoins. 

The difference between MtGox and the others seems to be due to the difficulty and cost of getting USD out of there; it cannot be exploted for arbitrage, on the contrary it is arbitrage that keeps the ratio relatively constant in spite of the large price fluctuations.

Thank you for your reply it is much appreciated

Besides - the big news in France today will be which of the president's mistresses is actually the First Lady of France.

Why, the hot young blonde one of course.

Ooh la la Cheesy


(seriously though, I feel kind of bad for his long term girlfriend)


(ha! take that Americans! Our leaders aren't married, they have *girlfriends* and *mistresses*, and we still elect them!)

(it also helps that they aren't climate science deniers Cheesy)
A man cheats on his wife, he'll cheat on anyone. "Climate Change" is a scam designed to separate YOU from your MONEY and FREEDO

Funny you think France is in a better position than America when we're BOTH being lowered into the vat of boiling oil. You via the Euro, us via the Federal Reserve.

SPACE LIZARD JEWS are controlling the FED via mind control satellite rays that the ILLUMINATI installed eons ago in your ancestors' HEADS!!!

*nervous eye twitch*

I rarely feel as bearish about the future of Bitcoin as when I realize how many batshit crazy rightwingers are attracted to it :/

Sorry to be so cynical here, but I suppose you mean bearish in the sense of "what-a-shame-that-Bitcoin-will-be-making-so-much-money-for-the-batshit-crazy-rightwingers", right?  Wink

I wish. More like BTC <--> FoxNewsBux, in the worst case scenario. The currency of choice for the timothy mcveigh's of the world to buy supplies to prepare for the impending communist invasion.

@Mad Scientist: Sorry for calling you "bat shit crazy". I don't know you, so I'm probably wrong. But climate science simply isn't a scam. It's a properly executed research topic. There are still open questions, true, but the basic results are almost universally accepted by the scientists inside the field, and fields close to it: (1) global warming is taking place, (2) a significant cause for (1) is man made. Like I said, details are open for debate and not agreed upon in the field, and most importantly, it is not clear what are the *consequences* to be drawn from the findings, but the whole "global warming is a scam" idea is deeply offending to anyone who ever set a foot into a university and/or worked in research himself

ODA,
I consider myself a conservative and I am in your camp. I have seen the research and have no doubts that there is climate change as a result of man.  Not all of us are bat shit crazy   lol  I feel your frustration though.  I feel one of the problems is people dont understand its climate "change" and "extremes" not just warming.  any way just wanted you to know you have at least one friend on your side that is a "right winger" and I am doing my best to spread the word.

From what I have read here, BTC-China decided to play it safe, and stopped accepting cash deposits. They now use vouchers that one can buy at e-commerce sites -- a system which is very cumbersome at least.

Huobi and OKCoin still accept cash deposits through commercial bank accounts.  I have read here that the owners are related to powerful politicians; if true, that may explain why they have chosen to run this risk.  I have seen no reports of problems with withdrawals, but presumaby they must be in CNY only.


Now this interests me a lot if true. Kind of gives credence to the whole China pump n dump conspiracy theory, with the end result intended to be a few interested insiders within the Chinese Hierarchy coming into possession of a shit-load of cut price coins.

I recently explained the whole Bitcoin phenomenon and current state of affair to someone who I will describe as a Man of the Street/Wide-boy. His immediate response was that "the Chinese will go mad for Bitcoin cos it is a way of getting their wealth out the country, but the Chinese big boys will want to control it and to do that, they will crash it and buy it up without telling anyone".......


Mat, So am I to think that there is to be a crash +/- 1 Feb followed by a run up by Chinese big boys?  Is that your take?

Make hay while the sun shines guys.

"Robert Shiller, Yale Professor of Economics, and two other professors from the University of Chicago - Eugene Fama and Lars Peter Hansen - won the Nobel Prize in 2013 for their research into market prices and asset bubbles."

If I were a "back surgeon" then A LOT of people with back problems would need surgery.  If you are looking FOR a bubble it LOOKS like a bubble but the problem is we don"t know what Bitcoin will do because it is new and there really isn't anything to compare it to.

I've been confirmed an expert on candlesticks, without going into too much detail, my backtracked TA based on 3 and 5 SMAC values, confirms this is very bad.

I triple dog confirm.

What would stop someone in china that holds bitcoin from (moving there coin to another exchange outside of china) cashing out at a later date (post Jan. 31) on a site like say coinbase and transferring USD or another currency back to their bank accounts in china?

why would they do that

can't they go directly to btcchina or other CNY/BTC exchange

My understanding (which is LIMITED  Wink ) is that after Jan 31 if they still have coins it will be hard to cash out and to use there cash to purchase Bitcoins so if they were to use a exchange or 3rd party outside of China could they continue to trade bitcoin or am I off in that line of thinking?

its a real pleasure buying things online with bitcoin feels much better than paying with visa.

I wish I could spend some.   I got in the game late and I don't want to part with what I have yet.

The real weak hands are those who fantasize about some imminent 10k bubble looking at retarded exp log chart trendlines and then dump when inevitably it becomes blatantly obvious that their inflated expectations were wrong.

So are traders who try to time bubbles to sell top and buy back lower considered average strength hands? And holders strong?   Trying to figure out where I fit. Wink

In the stupid hands, denying the truth and being blind fanboy.

Well hello to you there fine sir!  Hope you find something to cheer you up today.  Maybe hmmmm... You can go kick a dog or steal candy from a child.  Whatever puts you in a good mood. Anyway simple minds never comprehend a contrarian view point so no point in talking it will only make you mad and frustrate me.

That would be nice. But that's not the way of the world or life on it. Life's not fair and not everyone gets what they deserve.

I'm sorry if you think that life hasn't been fair to you. I see the world in a different spiritual perspective, where our karma reaches beyond our present lives.


Here's your opening, BitChick.  Finally, someone, if you count Pumpkinhead as someone, wants to talk about religion.

I guess I fell asleep too early. Wink

Here is a verse for you all: Ecclesiastes 7:16 Do not be over righteous, neither be over wise-- why destroy yourself?  That is something to ponder.  I really like that verse.  Especially because I grew up in a somewhat legalistic environment and realized early on that perfection is impossible to attain.

Basically, most religions are about karma or doing good to earn something.  Fortunately, following Christ is not about that.  It is about realizing we can never be righteous on our own and letting Him change us from the inside out.

I will stop now though.   Grin


This really saddens me because I thought you were a balanced and open minded individual. Unfortunately, even if you don't belong in the same class of idiots like igorr, mah87 and co., I will have to put you on ignore. There are VERY few things worse in this world than overzealous religious cultists.

Balaced haha. She and her husband are complete wackos.
. "Wackos"Huh  You may not agree with them but they have not said anything that puts them in that category.

he thinks they're wackos for investing heavily in Bitcoin. If that makes them wackos many of us are in the same category.

As others have mentioned there are no buyers.

I think that was pretty clear already for the last month or longer.
Are there still people here who expect us to magically go to 1000+ soon?
I certainly don't.

yes magically and soon

No way, there is no magic atleast for now, no signal, no volume nothing in market that we can expect we will go upside.

nope not one  Cheesy
With second market still buying,hedge funds and COIN in the future I don't see how this is anything more than a great buying opportunity.

yeah cause EVERYBODY is on the up and up and there is no corruption in the world so yep I guess there is never a shred of truth in any "conspiracy theories".    Good one
