any other UKers here holding their breath for ~$1230 when we finally hit £1000? that is gonna be when my head explodes.
Yep - one here Spooder. That would be fantastic. The crazy thing is, I've tried to explain bitcoin to quite a few people over the last few years. Some have nodded approvingly - but most have been sceptical. But none that I know of have acquired any BTC. I'm watching this rise on my own (so to speak) The one I'm waiting for is $1163 on stamp. And I'm starting to think I might see it before 23:59 GMT. I have spent so much time watching the price over the festive period its embarassing. Where do you guys buy/sell BTC, by the way? I get paid monthly in bitcoin and since Circle shut down BTC sells I have to resort to Coinfloor. It's not bad but still a hassle and you get spanked on withdrawals, of course. I used both of those - Circle was OK. Not used Coinfloor for a while (and when I did it wasn't for long) - little liquidity. Not sold for a while - tend to buy on Localbitcoin. Have you tried Uphold - it used to be called Bitreserve ? As you are being paid in BTC it lets you hold your value (BTC) in various other assets ie. gold, platinum, $ etc. Transfers out in GBP are no worse in fees than anywhere else IIRC Interesting, will take a look. Basically I cash out to pay bills, so nothing fancy required. But even that's hard to come by in the UK... Another UKer here too spooder.

Only just started looking so don't know who is running the show or if that is of any concern for me at this point?

Interesting days. I have buy orders back in the high triples which were left behind and I just let them sit there. Let's see if they get a visit from the volatility fairy.

Not that China being 110 dollars higher than the highest USD exchange looks particularly normal.

Euuh hope so The bitcoin price went $30 down since the last time I checked it... I should say that the rise was very quick also In the other hand the price at the Chinese exchanges is over $1200!

It makes me wonder if the "official" cny/usd exchange rate isn't just a fixed manipulated lie and what we are seeing as a spread between the chinese exchanges and the western exchanges more realistically represents the value difference of said currencies, in the real world..

Economics 101 should teach us that deflationary expectations of the yuan should push a widening arbitrage gap between Western and Chinese exchanges.

That's if you believe the official CNY/USD exchange rate, which no one does anyone. Bitcoin is getting a leg up from Chinese petite bourgeoisie using it as a way of avoid capital controls before China rapidly devalues. Thanks PBOC for the pump ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

There's always been a big gap between prices in China and the western exchanges but this is getting ridiculous. Huobi is currently over $100 higher than any of the western exchanges.
There's no correction happening at Huobi.

There are some people out there making bare cash. Again, gotta quote Mr. Buffet here: “Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy and Greedy When Others Are Fearful”
