It isn't much for a short time. But it has been there for couple hours now. And wont traders level it out by arbitrage trading ?

Is that ever a cool image.

up is down, down is up.

I have to admire LambChop's relentless bitcoin dissing.
We will remember your efforts when we are sipping Dom Perignon on our yachts in Monaco.

Simple manipulation taken the forum of hypnotic messages spewed out by the Bitcoin BearTrolls

Is that ever a cool image.

up is down, down is up.

Deleted it as it may trigger an epileptic episode.

stamp is currently trading at a constant lower price for a few weeks now , i would assume because people still do not trust that it is solvent / being ethically run and not about to gox them and disappear after the 19,000 btc "hack" plus they've never made an internal audit public ... thus people do not have as much willingness to trust their fiat or btc on it / much has already been withdrawn to other exchanges / loss of customers leading to lower volume and sellers and buyers thus trading at a comparative discount vs the other more trusted higher volume exchanges ... also if their books are fucked / the exchange is underwater they may as a result not be buying coins off their own exchange at this point in an effort to return to solvency or a desire to minimize their btc exposure , while other exchanges which are solvent may well be internally buying , which of course would cause higher prices on those solvent exchanges ... my trust is with coinbase at this point ... what with major investor backing and insurance and u.s. regulation (at least in half of the states here) it seems the safest bet to me ... if but with fewer bells and whistles ... don't know what the deal with kraken being lower is ... and if you're willing to wire money to whereverthefuckistan btc-e is pretty much always much lower than everywhere else ...

I never had any problems wiring money to BTC-E, Ive sent them numerous transfers over the last 18 months without any issues at all.

I'd have to agree. Why in the world would someone send money to an Anonymous exchange?  Sure they have been taking money and giving it back but that could stop in an instant.  Now you have no clue where your money may be.  

Times are changing and there are better options.

For me its the best and trustworthy exchange, that is based on my experience and BTC-E's history.

btc-e has indeed been run properly for years now as far as i can tell , heck i've traded there myself and never had a problem either , but as compared to exchanges in china (government doesn't fuck around) and exchanges in the u.s. (government doesn't fuck around) it would presumably be a lot easier for the btc-e exchange which is run out of croatia if i remember correctly (a not long ago war torn country) to simply disappear eventually whenever they get to X millions goal to run off with ... my rationale for trusting coinbase is that (presumably) the folks who invested 75M into it know who they gave their money to / have a few extra M to hire bounty hunters / assassins / would be able to call upon the u.s. law and financial enforcement agencies should they attempt to pull any funny business (same goes for the major chinese exchanges , as far as difficulty evading chinese law and financial agencies)

[BlindMayorBitcorn]

No hope for one of them decentralized exchanges we bitcointalk so much about?

[wpalczynski]

Too much regulatory bullshit for me when dealing with Coinbase but what you say is true.

I was thinking about this.  Has the Coinbase exchange lessened the desire for a decentralized exchange?

Achievable for alts. When there's fiat involved it becomes a whole lot trickier. I guess once Gemini and Coinbase are fully rolling worries will lessen but they're still bottlenecks.

Possibly. In my mind at least, maybe it did.

Good point, btw, never thought of it like that.

I never understood how one dealing with fiat was possible in the first place
