is a price difference between exchanges normal?  Ive noticed that huobi always seems to be 10-15$USD above Stamp...

Then give us some facts.

For the millionth time guys, I personally think that a "stamping" is an IMPROBABLE scenario, I'm not trying to spread FUD, I'm just trying to convince people to play safe and not risk to lose a fortune for no reason other than laziness.

Oh noes, we are about to get stamp'd 

Why apologize for something like that? It seems to me that rave and anger would be more appropriate.

Bitcoin has bipolar disorder - biitstamp & btc-e are bearish, huobi & bitfinex are bullish. Which part will prevail?

Ok, so if you want to get out of Stamp, are you going to dump your coins to get fiat that is considerably more difficult to withdraw? No.

Right before Gox halted withdrawals price began to gradually decrease for no apparent reason. I wouldn't count on that reasoning...

does this have an impact on price?

Dude, we have seen that lol

The point is that this explanation doesn't account for the magnitude of the spread and the sporadical dumps that other exchanges don't follow as closely like they used to (they do that with a delay), like  derpinheimer pointed out.

I know that people have invested in Bitstamp, that it has been around blah blah, the point is that the signs are there, like they were there with gox. Considering you could lose a fortune for now just GTFO and run for your life until the situation gets clearer.

If you don't trust other exchanges and you don't wanna sell just put it in cold storage FFS!

So if I get the idea right for the manipulation scenario to be successful people need to panic sell after the initiating dump has finished to push the price even lower to a level where buying back in makes any sense (profit). I can only see this working if people can be convinced of scenario No. 2.

For scenario 2 to be true it would have to be something not only wrong but also imminent. Otherwise a slower selling approach would give more fiat. So if bitcoin has not ended by tomorrow morning (technically broken or banned in relevant markets) it was just pure market manipulation.

either way, I wish I had more fiat at stamp right now...

Known people including Pantera hedge fund.

Also, if Bitstamp was having problems, would you sell you BTC for fiat that is much more difficult to withdraw? No. Price discrepancy should be to the upside if people are panicking to get their money out.

The FUD runs strong in the fearful bloodstream. The fact a price divergence has caused them to get so ancy shows they haven't vetted the exchanges they chose. Nor are willing to do so with the next choice...I have some alts on btc-e not knocking them, stamp was my first choice when thinking of not nationally based exchanges...Canada has two great choices IMO. VoS and CaVirtEx

well, if you insist...
I will try to do a large withdrawal in a few minutes. But I'm 99.99% sure it will succeed.

And I seem to remember Gox being the exchange that was priced higher than all the rest and we now know the reason for that.

People seem to siding with 'nice' Bitfinex because they aren't dumping and they have been trying to break out, and their price is $20 higher than on Stamp. But of all the exchanges, Stamp is the least likely to Gox is customers. On Stamp there is no leverage, no complex trading options, and thus far less opportunity for profit to be made from insider trading, painting the tape, etc. Bitfinex on the otherhand......oo-er!

A problem with Stamp in recent times has been actually getting money onto the exchange due to their anal-probesque KYC procedures.....Never had problems getting money off the exchange, even when I told them to ram their KYC. But sorry, out of all the exchanges out there, Stamp is the most stable and reliable one.

What I find so peculiar, is why aren't there traders out there who are pouncing on the glut of 'cheap' coins on Stamp and arb-ing them on Bitfinex. These BTC for sale some $20 cheaper on Stamp are real BTC, that can be bought with real money, which can be sent over to Bitfinex and can be sold for an instant $20 easy profit. I aint doing it cos I only got  few grand in Bitcoin and I would rather not do my trading on Bitfinex as I don't trust and like the place.

Also, isn't it funny that Stamp has been the most expensive exchange for weeks and weeks, until we get right to the end of a no doubt highly leveraged ramp up? Isn't it funny how Huobi and Bitfinex have both made break out attempts but stopped when they seen that Stamp wasn't budging? If these whales on Bitfinex and Huobi think that $15-$20 more expensive BTC than on Stamp is worth ramping, then why aren't they buying the cheaper BTC on Stamp (whales have accounts on all exchanges)?

all sells on stamp come from one person! what is he doing ?

why would some normal trader sell on stamp for 620 instead of finex on 640.

and you trust those anonymous russians operating from bulagria more than known people?
 

man people with limit orders.. and or fiat on exchange must be getting itchy... think 600 is the bottom of this retracement, if it could get there.

Not much buying going on, we might get below 600.

Im thinking on buy stamped coins at 30% off.
