Q: Why would you sell on Bitstamp when Mt. Gox is 10% higher, and has just moved up 5% without Bitstamp moving?
A:
1. You don't really like money all that much
2. Once a bear, always a bear
3. Manipulation
4. Retardation
Care to explain how price could be manipulated in this way? I honestly have no idea, I'm just another dumb sheep new to this whole thing.
And even if the majority of users are retards (which I doubt) all it takes is a handful of people with a lot of fiat to see the profit opportunities and buy a shitload of coins from Bitstamp to sell at Gox and make easy money on the gap, thus closing it more and more in the process.
Or am I missing something here? Simply trying to apply logic but it doesn't add up.
Well, the price proves the withdrawal problems are not over.
And indeed I did not receive my EUR withdrawal from mtgox ordered many weeks ago via 'international transfer'.
But haven't Gox always been really slow with withdrawals? I've heard of cases where money has taken over a month to arrive.
