Btw can you explain what you mean by monkey?

I have a monkey - not really a pet, more of an experimental laboratory animal - that throws darts, and I decide whether I want to take the trading recommendations which I derive from his dart throwing.  Sometimes he does well, sometimes less so, but in general he does better than any other monkey of my acquaintance.

I'm not seeing the bearish momentum develop. Seems no one is willing to take this down. Got nervous on a couple of these mini-dumps, but I'm pretty sure we'll take off to $630+ soon.

Who is noticing the large BTC orders appear on the Bitfinex walls only for them to be consumed within a split second before any non-exchange insider traders can react to them!? As if to give an illusion of support as Bitcoin begins it's crumbly grind down to find support at lower price levels........"ooooh, maybe I shouldn't sell cos look at those big 150 BTC orders at 605!!?"

Bitfinex paint the tape, and fake volume, and everyone knows that they do. Not that it matters in the bigger picture. Bitstamp will decide what the market does.

Try saying that again.. in a way that makes sense, preferably.

$4.8 million demand (unfulfilled) for USD swap at Bitfinex at the flexible rate (currently 0.19%/day and falling).  For long date ranges (20-30 days).  If they wanted short-term swap they could get it as $400k is available.

Somebody is trying to buy all the bitcoins!

Hmmm. Made sense to me. I tend to agree that there is far more order book "manipulation" on BFX than any other exchange. Pretty see-through most of the time.

But Bitstamp has become near irrelevant. Huobi and OKcoin drive almost everything, and I've seen BFX nudge the Chinese exchanges as well (yesterday's run-up, for instance).

During the peak of my trading before I started pulling out due to the volume decline, I was making 500BTC trades.

Do you mean when MtGox folded, or before that? I can't really decide how to calculate volume. The rapid rise in the Chinese exchanges always felt a bit funny.

My biggest trades were in December when we did a day with over 100K volume on Stamp/finex  and 140K volume on btce and I was trading on both of them at the same time.

Hm, if this lis is true (Silbert first? What a coincidence) and the list of bidders is not meant to be published before the auction, would this leak cause the auction to be cancelled and restarted?

Unless this is the list of the partners of Sibert's syndicate (who will bid as a group)?  

EDIT: ignore, previous post answers part of the questions.
