Title: Huge BTC price difference between MtGox and BTC-E + Bitstamp Post by: SharpCoiner on January 12, 2014, 05:03:08 PM Hi everyone,
I'm curious why is there such a big price difference between MtGox (USD 967) and BTC-E/Bitstamps (USD 860)? The few dollar difference between BTC-E and Bitstamps is explainable - transaction time and transaction costs, but 10% premium at MtGox is huge, and it has been like it for many days. Thanks!

Thanks! If getting out the cash is restricted, that's a perfect explanation.
