Funny that no one is talking about the mem pool as we clear 30 sat transactions. 

BOOM

It’s starting to sound like a war zone

I would be very happy to consolidate around this range for the next few days.

Speak for yourself whale !

I think everyone is just asleep at Bitstamp €. 

Grats to all of us.  That looks very nice indeed Alcohodl.  

Gdax through the wall.  10100 €

9996€

I will go out on a limb and say you will get that and more.  Soon.

I give this rubber band an hour tops before it snaps. ATH 9990€ Bitstamp. 

I looked into opening a Korean bank account yesterday to run arbitrage. You have to be in country and it looks like they have forex controls which limit the amount of fiat you can take out of the country.  Serious pain in the ass. Helps to explain the popularity of Bitcoin and the price spread.

Good point re IRS.

That’s helpful information.   We can assume that Coinbase is not reporting the numbers because they are not favourable (they would shout them from the rooftops if they were setting new records). I interpret that to mean the adoption surge is slowing, at least in the US.  This would be a short term bearish indicator.

I have read Bitfinexed’s critique of the Friedman audit of Bitfinex. It’s pretty clear that Bitfinexed has no experience of interpreting audit reports and is going at completely the wrong issues.

That said, Bitfinex has done a piss poor job of managing the issue.  It should publish monthly transparency reports at the least, and those reports should be signed off by Friedman.  So it only has itself to blame.  And attempting to sue people rather than improve its reporting practices is a bad sign.

Kraken Euro 9990 ATH.

Bitstamp Euro ATH 9974

Where’s the honey badger?

Bithumb now $13,200.  Arbitrage rubber band is stretching. I hope you folks are strapped in

These are people who think a 22% swing is a massive crash. I remember reading about a Wall St hedge fund that went broke trading bitcoin due to “unexpected volatility”

Japanese futures exchange to add Bitcoin futures “as soon as possible”

There’s something going on. Bitcoin is being unnaturally squeezed into a 20€ trading range of 9980 - 9999 on Gdax. Something has to give, and when it gives there will be a pop.  

I’ve been watching it as well.  It’s the $12,000 question.  I will predict a small upward break with reset back down to under $12k.  We will see who is right !
