Could it be that Huobi's price being higher than the rest of the world is simply because of
Hongbao's?
Huobi used
to have a higher price during the run to 1100+ too, and with a bigger gap than now
Maybe it is just things
getting back to usualYou consider the run to 1100+ as the usual? ^^
I'm a bit afraid of this "usual"...
I'd like to see the price stable for a bit. Of course on the rise is good to but stable is better!
We are not going to get "stable" in bitcoin any time soon, this market cap is way too small for that, and also we seem to still be in the fairly early stages of a price battle (maybe about four weeks into it, so far). After we see this price battle through, then maybe a bit more "stable" might be possible.
Regarding the chinese, the usual and the run up to $1,100 those are all just various factors playing out, and the extent of chinese influence over price is playing out, and the questionable volume in china is playing out and whether the run up to $1,100 was "real" or a sign of anything or a place to which we will return any time soon will maybe play out in the coming weeks, but it could take a few months to get back there (depending on how this whole price battle plays out and how many coins the bears are willing to dump and how much the buying pressure from all locations can absorb those dumped coins and potentially keep the price on an upwards trajectory).
