Well I'm doing that, too, but when price action is zzz, you gotta have something to pass the time.

Choice FUD4U: Without Emptygox artificially inflating the price by disallowing SWIFT withdrawals (as happened since April 2013) and thus dragging up all the other markets thanks to its former market leader role, will it be as easy?

He played a much larger role in the april and the latest bullrun than any of you people know. Now you will see what the market price is without a desperat clown trying to recover his missing coins.

Chinese markets were open as early as 2011 so your mistaken [ in relating them to the Oct/2013 bubble ]. .

Are you refering to BTC-China?  When did Huobi and OKCoin open?

On Bitcoinwisdom, BTC-China's data starts 2011-06-09 with ~1.5 BTC/day, OKCoin's data starts on 2013-06-12 with 0.004 BTC/day, Huobi's starts on 2013-09-01 with 134 BTC/day.  BTC-China always charged trading fees; I am not sure about OKCoin, but I think I read that they initially charged fees until Huobi came up with its zero-fee policy and they had to follow.  So maybe it was the zero-fee trading by Huobi, specifically, that attracted the Chinese habitual speculators.

dude have you heard of Google? http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-exchange-btc-china-eliminates-trading-fees/

They opened with 0.3%, then in September of 2013 dropped it to 0% in hopes of cementing their control of the market. I believe the owner Bobby then re-instated fees after faking volumes cries came out and the PBoC rulings became clearer... and then re-instated zero fees again http://www.coindesk.com/btc-china-drop-fees-adding-btc-ltc-trading-option/

( I admit better than the 3.0% I have to pay to do a buy/sell move @ CaVirtEx but low volume exchanges with proper security help me sleep at night )

Adam is my default Leader..I follow him blindly...except for when his resolve waivers and he'll try to sell his bitcoin to pay bills.

[aminorex]

Thanks. So another way of putting this might be:
"Not sure about bitcoin. By the way, recession in 12 months."

That would be an accurate interpretation.  I tend to use maximum entropy defaults and focus on statements about swaps/spreads, so I put it another way.

Chinese Slumber Method prediction for Wednesday May 07

Prediction valid for: Wednesday 2014-05-07, 19:00--19:59 UTC (not before, not after)
Huobi's predicted price: 2672 CNY
Bitstamp's predicted price: 430 USD





[ Plot legend ]

The data point for today May/05 was very good (S = 0.0011, W = 0.974).  It was signficantly above the previously assumed trend, so it seems that the trend was broken again.  With only one data point, we must use the banal "tomorrow like today" prediction.

The Bitstamp prediction, as usual, is the Huobi prediction divided by the currency conversion factor R, taken to be 6.22 CNY/USD.  Its value was 6.23 today (May/06), but 6.18 yesterday, and 6.16, 6.17, 6.08, 6.11, 6.22 on the previous good sample times.
 
Checking the previous prediction

Prediction was posted on: Monday 2014-05-04, 21:33 UTC
Prediction was valid for: Tuesday 2014-05-06, 19:00--19:59 UTC (~22 hours later)

The predicition for Huobi was not that wrong, considering the swings of the day:

Huobi's predicted price: 2635 CNY
Huobi's actual price (L+H)/2: 2672 CNY
Error: 37 CNY (~6 USD)

The prediction for Bitstamp was more accurate, due to an unexpected change in the R factor:

Bitstamp's predicted price: 427 USD
Bitstamp's actual price (L+H)/2: 429 USD
Error: 2 USD
 
NOTE: There is nothing notable today.

The market has continued to be pretty flat over the past days.  Really starting to feel like the calm before the storm
