you can't fight chinese database coin dumpers. they run fractional reserve exchanges and can dump ten thousands of coins on the market over and over again. until this isn't resolved there is no way i'm throwing a single dollar on this scam.

Arbitrage should take care of this. I think the market is manipulated, but it can only be done to a certain degree.

It'll be interesting to see whether they're left completely in the dust once buyers have no shortage of options for exchanges that are actually audited and reputable. Momentum is slowly gathering.

It's pretty amazing that people are still willing to put coins and money into such places.

I wonder if two markets would form - 'legit' and 'murky' with the latter completely separate or whether they'll drag down the proper exchanges. Surely there must be a point where transparency must be supplied to be considered relevant.

I must agree with this. It's a new market, so manipulation is unavoidable. As we grow, this problem will take care of itself.

I believe the price going down have been a very important factor to slow down adoption the last year and a half. But there is a real and hard limit to how far down it can be pushed. Hopefully, we found rock solid ground in january. The price doesn't even have to go up to gain traction. Constant value would outperform most currencies. And adoption will lead to growing price, more adoption and and and... you get the picture

Could you elaborate this more please, as it makes some sense for me as I didn't get the full picture yet and I want to fully understand it.

I'm not sure if you're pulling my leg, sir. But I think there is a possibility that the people who could potentially loose money and power because of bitcoin, are pushing the price down to prevent adoption. Not only profitable with shorting, but even with a loss. (Buy with premium from miners, and dump it with a loss on exchanges.)

Some say that the bitcoin economy is too tiny to get serious attention from the people who owns the banks. But bitcoin could be like cancer to them. It's small, but still a big threat.

The separation of exchanges into two categories seems to already be starting because of KTC regulations. The most compliant exchanges require so much official paperwork that it's difficult to register at them. The other less scrupulous exchanges are easier to register at but are often accused of running fractional reserves because they are never audited.

I agree. With a market of this size, you really have to expect manipulation. Even a whale carefully trading a 10k position is going to manipulate the market, intentionally or not. It's simply the nature of the volume that he trades.

bitfinex was audited a year or so ago by a trusted community member (it's about time to do it again).

Just because an exchange doesn't do KYC/AML doesn't mean it can't (or shouldn't) be audited.

Well, I'd prefer some KYC probes up my arse compared to pouring my resources into a bottomless black hole. I can't foresee two systems existing in tandem for very long. Customers would need to vote with their cash.

We can have trustless exchanges right away. The code is written [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7277865].
Guess why we don't have it yet. Fractional Reserve and all information about the orderbook - this is heaven.
