Title: I have come to the realization that the majority of the trading Post by: fleabag on July 05, 2013, 03:38:47 PM in bitcoin are just BOTS. .0001 buys and sells and a few large purchases sprinkled in here and there. I dont know how you can get a true representation of the price with all this crap going on. If I had an exchange 2 decimal places and thats it.

Title: Re: I have come to the realization that the majority of the trading Post by: Spaceman_Spiff on July 05, 2013, 05:04:55 PM I think it's generally a good thing that there are bots (based on how they work of course). They reduce the bid-ask spread or inter-exchange spreads.
