Has the spread between stamp and Gox ever been so big??? Is this effectively a run on the Bitcoin bank, desperate buys fleeing to Bitcoin and heading for the btc-e and bitstamp hills?Huh

Don't know if you're watching but there are "desperate" buys on Stamp and Btc-e at the moment as well!

I don´t think that they will be around in 4 weeks.
Maybe we will see a new ATH today on Gox. Deposit your coins on Gox, now, it´s easy money! Cheesy

I am watching but Gox has leaped to near 1000 again and stamp and btc didn't care until the last hour. I think they are watching Gox and are thinking they are missing the train, but the fact they did nothing for 8 hours tells me Gox is become a joke almost overnight.

Gox has not been leaping anywhere for hours. It is BTC-e that just leaped by a long way. Here's the chart for you: http://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/btce/btcusd

What may be happening is more players cashing out of Gox via bitcoins. And arbitrage isn't working at all, even via JPY.
There is a small delay (possibly 1 - 2 days) in receiving bitcoins from Gox, so this means that Gox has to get bitcoins from cold storage.
This lead to a strange situation, where Gox looks bullish, while other exchanges do not.

Sometimes, if it looks too bullish, it's actually bearish

I had ZERO delay in moving Bitcoin out of Gox. In fact moving Bitcoin out of Gox while I used it for two months was much faster than any other exchange.

So unless something has changed in the last week the lag should still be zero. I don't think Bitcoin withdrawal time has much at all to do with what we are observing. I think Gox users are sick of holding fiat and know they can't move it, so they are buying bitcoin and moving to cold storage or another exchange, like i did... a couple of weeks ago.

EDIT:

The bigger the gap grows the more desperate GOX buying will become. At least that is why I Bitcoined out of Fiat when I did.

BTC-e is not watching Gox. They are much larger than Gox. Everybody knows where the action is these days. They have known for a long time. The "Gox imploding" theme is tired already!

I had read several complaints about BTC withdrawals taking longer than normal during the last days,
in the Service discussion section. Good to know that it's not a problem today.

How high can Bitcoin go on Gox before they pull the plug on the server?

Could we see $10,000 bit coins on Gox?!

While everyone else is still at $800  Cheesy
