Title: Fiatleak Showing US purchases as Chinese?
Post by: BittBurger on April 11, 2014, 03:05:52 AM
Aside from the fact that NOBODY in any other country is supposedly buying Bitcoins (other than China)

(nonsense)...

I sat here and watched someone purchase exactly 26.5 Bitcoins just now on Coinbase, with a fee of 1%.

Within 30 seconds saw 26.8 BTC flying across the screen into China.

There is no way that happened coincidentally.  

It looks more like the Bitcoins purchased, plus the Coinbase fee which they give to themselves in Bitcoin.

26.5 x 0.01% = 26.8 (rounded up)

Nothing flew into to the USA for at least 15 minutes after that.  And honestly for nearly an hour before.  

Is Fiatleak a chinese owned website by chance?  I see chinese characters in the top right under the site name.

Jeez, fiatleak is so obviously a stupid shill site that I'm surprised it even needs a thread.

THis has been pointed out a million times before

As far as i know, only US customers can buy Bitcoin on Coinbase. Furthermore, fiatleak has no way to know nationality of buyer for each Bitcoin purchase. That's why i constantly say fiatleak's animation is unrealiable.

Not only US customers...

There are many ways to solve this problem too.
