Title: Recent Price Rise driven by Euro Post by: Mageant on March 26, 2013, 02:51:54 PM When I look at the charts recently it seems to me the Euro price of Bitcoin has been usually significantly higher than the USD/EUR exchange rate compared to the USD-rate for Bitcoin.
Seems like there is a lot of demand Europe, possibly because of the Cyprus crisis. Also Euro exchanges seem to have more volume, notably bitcoin-24.com.

Title: Re: Recent Price Rise driven by Euro Post by: ElectricMucus on March 26, 2013, 03:08:19 PM IIRC Euro prices were always a tad higher in comparison.
The few times I bought BTC it was a better deal to pay mtgox to convert my euros to dollar and buy there.

Also, bitstamp, an exchange that caters to Europeans dealing in the dollar, is leading the charge. More support for this hypothesis that Europe is getting on board.

Title: Re: Recent Price Rise driven by Euro Post by: Elwar on March 26, 2013, 05:17:51 PM The world is huge, full of a lot of people. As different corners of the world pick up on Bitcoin, it will lurch forward and most of us will have no idea where it is coming from.
This is not your father's currency. Title: Re: Recent Price Rise driven by Euro Post by: RationalSpeculator on March 26, 2013, 06:44:33 PM Bitcoin24.com is indeed a serious premium these days! It used to be cheaper to buy btc at btc24 then at mtgoxeur, about -3%, now it's 10% higher!?! 65€/btc at btc24 vs 59€/btc at mtgoxeur. Those that have cash at mtgox can make a nice margin buying btc cheaper there and selling at btc24.
Also note that btc24 has become larger in volume than mtgoxeur :) No trading fees is very sweet :) Barely any costs for depositis and withdrawals is also nice! :) I love bitcoin24.com :) Title: Re: Recent Price Rise driven by Euro Post by: Odalv on March 26, 2013, 06:58:26 PM Bitcoin24.com is indeed a serious premium these days!
