Is it too early to say that Gox, Bitstamp etc. are now leading? I do not believe so!
Looking at the charts shows a very interesting picture. While we are on a nice little uptrend, China is clearly weaker and we are definately pulling her with us, not the other way around.
This is an extremely positive sign for Bitcoin - it means that a lot of people are now getting their heads around a future with independence from Chinese affairs.
Don't forget this in the weeks to come, as 31 January approaches and the rumours fly!
