Theories as to why Stamp is still higher than Gox?

Some serious guys or unknown entity acquiring huge amount of coins. Asks above $600 were and are really huge, everything built up in less than one days after crash.

Huobi didn't dive - China again?  

This exchange is a joke although stamp sometimes follows it.

[JorgeStolfi]

Bid/Ask depth on Huobi is normaly above 1000 Coins for 100 Renmibi, not 76 Coins.

I see.  Well, that varies a lot actually.  Depends on trade volume (which may vary 100x between daytime and nighttime), whether the price is stable or swinging, etc.  The same holds for other exchanges, by the way.

It is ~9:00 08:00 am now in China, and the price has been very unusual since yesterday.

Bitcoin does need a voice - a focus as an advocate.

However, the foundation has little has little if any credibility - so if it is possible for fresh faces (and respected ones) to move in and push for change, it can't do any harm.

You would have my vote, take Jorge with you?

Vote for Goat!

[KFR]

I suspect we could persuade Goat to come along if we all tugged on his sleeve hard enough.

It 's up , or back up.

Thanks for the vote, but see my signature... 

But since I have been mentioned: methinks it would be better and faster to dissove the Foundation and create a new Bitcon Istitute or something, with a completely new board.  The world won't easily forget who the BF founders were, especially if some of their close friends remain on the board -- even if these people are 100% "clean" themselves.

(Didn't Shrem brag that he would only hire people whom he had got drunk or stoned with?  Does that apply to the Foundation too?)

[KFR]

I think you're absolutely right.  But I think we should at least consider giving them a chance to reform.

Because it's not important and therefore very low on the prioritized list of things to get done. This is a non-isssue. Please don't fall for Gox' propaganda!

[KFR]

Dude it's a troll.

^ It's almost sure that we'll get rid of fonzie once bitcoin hits 1000usd/btc in early March.

I wouldn´t bet on that , i trolled the trollbox about LTC all the way up from 2$ to 50$.
Telling em what a shitty alt it is.

He has time on his hands and a lot of respect....

I think we already know he is capable of thinking through and starting good things that need to happen off.

A great suggestion, yes.

we'll get rid off it if anybody ignor him and stop quote him
Simple !

[polyclef]

I think, and am hoping, that this is the sound of the last straw landing on the camel's back.

I've just signed up to the Bitcoin Foundation myself so I can at least help people to try and change it from within.  I would suggest others join me.  

If that fails then the Bitcoin community might as well reject the Bitcoin Foundation wholesale.  And that might not be a bad thing.

Bitcoin does need a voice - a focus as an advocate.

However, the foundation has little has little if any credibility - so if it is possible for fresh faces (and respected ones) to move in and push for change, it can't do any harm.

Thank you - I appreciate that vote of confidence.  The more I think about this the more I feel like taking off my coding hat and picking up the evangelist one.  Anyone following this thread knows Jorge and I are often in disagreement but I have a great respect for his work and would love to have him on board.  Smart people capable of disagreeing with each other whilst recognising the value in the work are few and far between.

There are plenty of smart people here that could help have an impact.  So please do.

I've made my first post of dissent at the BF now.  I'd welcome anyone interested in promoting and progressing Bitcoin that joined me.  

If we can't effect change from the inside then we'll just set up another one.

The foundation consists of Karpeles (who has mismanaged Mt Gox), Vessenes (of double-failed CoinLab - exchange then incubator of Alydian), Matonis (who was CEO of HushMail, don't know if he left before they started backdooring it for governments).

Andresen seems solid and I have no idea about Ploshay or Malka, but it seems stacked to fail given the first two.

There was once a troll named Fonzie
of which no one was very fond see..
Because every word he spoke, was a terrible joke
and everywhere he looked there waz a ponzi.

There once was a troll named Fonzi..
a little little fish in a big pond see.
Because every meme played, seemed trite and homemade
not the sharpest knife in the box he.

There once was a troll named Fonz
took his name, from Happy Days long gonz
but to all of our despair and with no class or flair
The Fonz liked to share share share share

Has anyone seen dear Fonzie ?
No!
Not I! Not me!
Not us! 
I see!

Excuse me mr Columbo but maybe he is dead?
" but for a troll he seemed really well fed?"
Perhaphs he fell somewhere and banged his stupid head…
Ok Bitcoiners fair enough, that was well said…
but, oh ,ah ,one more question before I go blondie.
Maybe he drowned whilst swimming in the pondie?

Ok ok you got me !  I confess, I really have to get it off my chest
what happened to the dear old lamented Al Fonzi.

He was a float, when I threw him from the boat
but with my boot to his head
I kept him down till he was dead
and now there is no more ol Fonzi.

You see there is no bubble down there I  screamed and cried
and then slowly, thankfuly Fonzie died.

So…..

There once was a troll named Fonzie
but now we can hear him no more
Maybe a note
or the odd quote..
despite your f'kin ignore

Once long ago there was a troll named Fonz
or maybe it was Al-fonso, or Al Fonzie
I cannot remember ,or quite care...
just a mere flash of memory as I stare
at the Bitcoin price up in the sky
Now Proudon... what a guy...

...and now… well….really what can I say?

I guess in the words of the real Fonzie "Hey hey hey"

Where shall we go a sailing today?
