Hm, honestly just wondering: in which way do you think it is 'the most valid'?
One clapped out asshole agreeing to pay the price of another clapped out asshole without any other parties meddling in it. It don't get much more straightforward unless one party has spiked the other. Whether the rest of the world should be told about it is via sites like Preev is another matter.

I didn't realise Preev included LBC. It is a valid metric, maybe the most valid in a way, but subject to some pretty outrageous whims.

To me it just seems that ("manipulation" on the exchanges aside), the more liquid price discovery mechanism trumps the less liquid one. Unless you mean it as an indicator for what the long-term expectations on the price might be, i.e. what people 'on the street' are in principle willing to pay per coin... but not sure how much that should influence the mid-to-short term price predictions. But quite possible I'm missing something in the above...

Got it, ty.
What worries me about Bitcoin as a whole is that when shit goes down YOU tend to almost make sense.
As if all the rest of us are a bunch of raving lunatics and you're the one looking into the asylum, pointing and laughing.
You're still an asshole, but being right is a redeeming feature.

I dunno - it's never felt right to me, including OTC trades in with exchange trades. I'd certainly be interested in an index of OTC trades (LBC is my default source of fresh BTC), but lumping them in with exchange trades just seems... wrong. And the two different trade types on LBC doesn't help either.

Can someone remind me, how is fiat dealt with on a decentralized exchange?
Who needs stinking fiat anyway? Lrn 2 think outside the box, man!
What is it with you and boxes? And rape? And this fear of this force you cannot see?
Are you this dude?
It wasn't Bitcoin, dude. Just let it go.

On preev.com , it calculates the USD price by taking prices from LBC, Bitfinex , BTC-E and Bitstamp.
Someone is manipulating the price a lot in one of those exchanges, it just went up to 259.7 and then back to 254.7 now.

Last time I looked at preev it was the same - but I'm fairly certain it's due to LBC's wild swings (due to an exciting mix of person-to-person and remote trades, and the premium P2P trades command).

That's why i checked out LocalBitcoins at Preev. It isn't giving a right value through that.

... if you are a big fish, there is always bitcoin-otc, wot and other 'safe' measures to get some (whilst you can) 
And also that huge US Marshalls auction coming up...
hmyea no. i wouldnt touch these FBI tainted coins even if they'd be sold half the price for.
Because bitcoin not fungible
because most (smart) people just hold
When you say 'smart,' do you mean 'desperately lying to unload worthless bag, not caring who they hurt,' or 'stark-raving mad'?
TL;DR: Lying. Also stark-raving mad.
Got it, ty.

hum not sure what is to unload since they'd be holding. stark raving mad? maybe.. ^^
anyway, bitcoin is not meant to transact with but rather just a safe haven for your savings, which is cryptographically secured by a 1/2 Exahash network as of now.
i would'nt care less about coupla centralized internet KYCer and regulated businesses parasites/scams/ponzi/unsecured/etc.
seriously, how fool it is to mimic the very same business models that led the financial world to the huge fraud it is now.
they are irrelevant if not totally doomed. so i think i'll pass. tyvm.

Where did we hit that? Don't see it at Stamp or Finex.

bitquick no longer takes customers from NY
That's because they're a centralized entity subject to NY laws. A decentralized computer program would not have that problem.
Edit: I actually wouldn't be surprised if OpenBazaar is used by some people as an exchange. Come to think of it...maybe I need to work on an "exchange store" on there...
Yes, I was just passing on a small bit of info.
I just checked the OpenBazaar site, it's been a while since I last did. It's "Opening Soon"
At least they are still working on it after a lull.
