I have to say whoever maintains those steep ask side walls is doing a sterling job of attempting to keep the price from rising

According to this article: http://www.lifo.gr/now/digital-life/69865 it seems like the CEO of Bitstamp reported about 79% rise from Greek customers. Talking with a friend today, the main concern is the issuing of IOUs and people try to convert to "assets" instead. There are companies that are willingful to take your euros out of Greece (and put them in an exchange account for you) in order to purchase BTCs from known exchanges.

Never expected it so soon, but Bitcoin seems to gain some *REAL* traction here in Greece.

I'm very interested in these developments macsga if you could try & keep us updated with the BTC situation in Greece in this thread. Let's hope this new found interest in Greece is reflected positively in the price soon.

Their attempts are futile in the long term mate, you can only build a dam to a certain strength before it bursts from all of the rising pressure

Those bid walls aren't too shabby either.

A break downwards here could get ugly.

+1

Most of the violence is happening on OKcoin...

1550-1560 is a big level for the bulls to defend.

I also get the feeling that OKcoin gets messed with as it approaches Thursdays Futures expiration. Perhaps some whales use the spot market to manipulate Futures prices as they approach settlement..

Not to worry. Ugly is on our side.

I'm kinda mystified about how an exchange works.

Am I always buy/selling to a peer?
Or does the exchange sell and buy directly to users also?

Does an exchange adjust its prices in consensus with other exchanges?
Or is it all independent marketing?

In theory, yes.

Or does the exchange sell and buy directly to users also?

That may or may not be the case. If so, it's usually done in a more or less transparent way with someone appointed to the task and officially being called a market maker or given some other fancy name.

With Bitcoin exchanges, you never know. They may all just be making up numbers and drawing pretty lines in diagrams

The two exchanges Bitfinex and Bitstamp used to have a deal that helped keep the price roughly the same on both exchanges. However, they stopped the deal now as far as I know. There are people who run things called arbitrage bots which look for different prices on exchanges and make profit from buying off a cheaper exchange to sell on a more expensive exchange. They tend to keep the prices roughly the same across exchanges.

An exchange is simply an orderbook consisting of bids (buys) and asks (sells). Where a bid and ask coincide is the exchange price.
