Bitcoin now Cheaper in China ?

[GigaCoin]

I just noticed that Bitcoin is now trading for $740-$770, they're usually higher or equal to non-chinese exchanges.

Why do you think is the reason for this and are we about to witness strong selling today and this week?

North America waking up soon, we have already dropped. I'd imagine we'll be chasing China soon.

The downtrend has been pretty obvious in chinese exchanges for the last 2 weeks.
People that think that it was only a correction that's now over clearly don't pay attention in china...

The best news lately around bitcoin was that a bakery accepts bitcoin 
Does anyone seriously expects the price to take off like that?

Good because now we 'll see a more accurate number of the actual volume in btcchina.
That has nothing to do with the drop though

Guess you're right, we're at $770 at Bistamp already, 10% down.

Bitcoin is likely crashing due to the perceived future ineptitude, or increased cost of, converting BTC into Yuan ( or inversely ).

The panic selling definitely started in China as evidenced by the lower chinese exchange prices.

What is going on? can someone verify the news?

Thanks for that info, looks like that's exactly what induced today's sell off. The price was already fragile as it is.

What's not clear is, are chinese payment processors really banned from transferring money to exchanges. If that is true and not just a false tweet, this week will be v ugly.
