Yawn.. Why do I have to keep repeating myself with this? They haven't even begun yet.
I know that. The question is whether we will be able to follow their moves once they start. (SMBIT publishes some data, and there is a thread devoted to digesting that data and deducing their weekly trading activity.)
Sorry Jorge, wasn't intentionally responding to you, rather who you were quoting initially!

I guess the best way is to transfer bitcoin to your Huobi account, for example, and then trade there.
You certainly can do that if you can open an account at Huobi. (They have some AML/KYC requirements AFAIK).
But @walsoraJ was aksing about the price being sustained by Western fiat being deposited in the Chinese exchanges. I don't know whether that happens much.

Strange time of day to try to break the resistance (China sleep time 
)...
One official time zone but covering 5 real time zone... must be someone awake there imo)...
Huobi's volume usually goes strong until 01:00 am local time, drops to near zero between 03:00 and 06:00, starts again by 07:30 am. OKCoin retains some residual traffic all the time (Fake trades? Autonomous robots? Arbitrage? Chinese abroad?)
During the "sleep" hours the West sometimes appears to lead.

True but a sleeping chinese buy more bitcoin than EU awake

Jorge, when you refer to "the Chinese," do you mean their exchanges or fiat from Chinese traders, or both? I suspect any new fiat entering Chinese exchanges is from Coinbase. If that is the case, then the US is sustaining the price. Party ends when Coinbase runs out of options.
I mean the traders at the Chinese exchanges. I suppose that they are still mostly Chinese citizens.You say that one can deposit CNY into them through Coinbase? Directly, or indirectly (Coinbase deposits at Bitstamp and arbitragers bring coins from China to sell there)? The latter would generate volume at Bitstamp, which I don't see happening. Or do you mean the international branches of Huobi and OKCoin?
If Coinbase is using the Chinese exchanges, when whould they have started?
Yes, I meant the international branches.
Coinbase likely increased its usage of Chinese exchanges after Bitstamp stopped permitting withdrawals for businesses. Unclear exactly when that was. My guess is 2-3 months before Bitstamp severed its relationship with Unicredit Bank.

Isn't GABI supposed to be investing billions of dollars into bitcoin right now?
Does anyone know whether the Jersey regulations require that full status reports and/or independent audits of investment funds to be published periodically? Or will those reports be available only to investors?
Yawn.. Why do I have to keep repeating myself with this? They haven't even begun yet. It won't be until mid September/ beginning of October. Admittedly GABI should do a better job of publicising this fact

Let's make a new rule in this thread. Let's don't cheer and bring out rocket/moon photos ever time the price rises $5-10. Mmmkay?
Of course that means no Teddy Bear Picnicking every time it drops $5-10. It's a 2-way street.
It's amazing how many people over-respond to small changes. When the price dipped recently from $505 to $485 some people were actually using the word "crash". LOL

Probably small trap forming, unless its one of those "soft" bottoms, but its somewhat rare, i expect a big dump to retest 450 and below, the probability is too high.
Bitcoin sub 300€ ?

Sticky post in the Meta forum. It is the lesser of the activity number (2 week periods with a post*14) and post count.
That's what I was going by.
A hundred posts a day won't get you any further ahead than a post every 2 weeks.
