Parity fast approaching, but will it hold once the gox ask wall is gone? Title: Re: Gox/Bitstamp parity. Post by: sgbett on November 07, 2013, 01:34:26 AM DONT CROSS THE STREAMS!

Now the arb opportunities are just getting ridiculous. Title: Re: Gox/Bitstamp parity. Post by: yogi on November 07, 2013, 02:27:13 AM Title: Re: Gox/Bitstamp parity. Post by: theonewhowaskazu on November 07, 2013, 02:28:46 AM Anybody with money at gox right now aught to sell on Bitstamp quick. What type of a person would keep fiat on gox at a time like this?

Post by: yogi on November 07, 2013, 02:29:27 AM So they crossed, why? Now the arb opportunities are just getting ridiculous. There was a 10k ask wall on gox at 266, not sure what will happen once it's gone. Title: Re: Gox/Bitstamp parity. Post by: yogi on November 07, 2013, 03:07:40 AM Title: Re: Gox/Bitstamp parity. Post by: the joint on November 07, 2013, 03:13:14 AM So they crossed, why? Now the arb opportunities are just getting ridiculous. Think of the potential consequence if this holds. Those capable of withdrawing btc but not fiat from Gox now have (a larger) incentive to transfer their btc out and cash out on bitstamp. This could bring down the volume on Gox (even more) significantly. Although, I've been seeing complaints about btc withdrawal from Gox, too. Title: Re: Gox/Bitstamp parity.

Title: Re: Gox/Bitstamp parity. Post by: Walter Rothbard on November 07, 2013, 03:52:43 AM I don't get why Bitstamp has caught up to Gox. I thought Gox was higher because of the difficulties of getting fiat out. I see BTC-E is still at $260. Does this mean that there's now trouble getting fiat out of Bitstamp as well, and BTC-E is a more accurate price?

High trade volume, but no one wanting to sell parabolic rise to follow with a pop Title: Re: Gox/Bitstamp parity.

I was wondering the same thing - it's a bit strange. Perhaps with all the buying pressure in the market and the lack of faith in gox, people are just going elsewhere for their coins and pushing hte price up there... so much so it actually overcame the BTC price pressure on gox. Looking forward to CampBX's ACH deposit option coming November 20. ONce that hits, I see CampBX joining the leagues. Title: Re: Gox/Bitstamp parity.

It could be that some form of arbitrage has been established between gox and bitstamp. If they drift apart again then it was just the temporary effect of the 10k sell order. |
