Wisdom's really nice, hard to believe so much can be done in a browser but [...]

I like wisdom a lot, too -- especially for viewing the trades in real time. But "can be done in a browser"... have you ever tried tradingview.com ? It's an amazing tool for charting, in that field it's way ahead of bitcoinwisdom. Even more impressive in terms of what can be done in a browser.

The article says that cash can be stolen, but can't your bitcoin card be stolen just as easily? Is there some sort of PIN on it or something?

Chinese bear is ready for action

BTC-e has just added GBP but only via OKpay as far as I can see

[seleme]

Now, they just need to add XPM/USD and I'll be fine, very fine  

BTW, GBP is good idea, there's no taxes at bitcoin trading in Britain, that might bring more people to BTC-e. Their admins are pretty smart guys.

Maybe but in general theyre shady to deal with and I wouldn't use it for any significant amounts of any currency or coin.

They are more expensive than bitstamp for some reason
We rebounded at 480$ but is this an other small rebound before we test the lows again

So Chinese people can still buy GPB at btc-e to trade cryptocoins using OKpay? Correct? As I understand bitcoin is not illegal in China. If it were to be it would just be the government shooting them self in the foot since they will be used anyway, at least on the black market.

How do hodlers feel about the circumstance that any given minute a new brutal crash could appear due to the fact that Huobi or another major chinese exchange will announce CNY deposit/withdrawal blockade. Bullish?

IT AIN´T OVER TILL IT´S OVER!

That would bring the price up actually for some time.

 I still am trying to figure out what the big deal is for China. My first BTC was purchased by sending money to Virwox to buy Linden dollars to then buy BTC. Cost me 10% more than the market rate, but I found a way to get BTC. Now Coinbase is how I get BTC. In the United States it seems to be the most reliable and convenient way of getting fairly priced BTC and even then some banks like Chase bank have been known to freeze deposits. My point is, how can the Chinese government possibly stop the flow of BTC into China without preventing the CNY from moving around internationally and being exchanged for other currency. I realize that the cost to them may be a little higher but since the world seems to follow China that could oddly drive up prices bit by bit as CNY finds its way into BTC because the realized cost would always be more than present market price. I know, I just went down the deep end of speculation without a life vest.

*Almost* enough to get me to break out Photoshop to illustrate your point.
