Hope I'm wrong, but hardly... It's lame, boring and with a slightly downward trend.

Well, Jed Caleb [ ... ] is also creator and co-owner of Gox (12% shares). And co-defendant with Karpeles in the trial.
I understand that Sunlot made a deal with the people who where suing Mark and Jed in te US, and they have withdrawn the lawsuit.  Also Sunlot claims that Jed (and Gay-Bouchery) have approved their plan, in exchange for being freed of any responsibility in the collapse.

They are rather ambiguos about what they will do with Mark, in particular if he will get a share of the recovered coins like any other client:

(AFAIK, management always has the last priority in bankruptcy cases, even if there is no evidence of wrongdoing.)

This Chinese article from 2014-06-10 seems to report some deal between blockchain.info and OKcoin:

So if I'm interpreting this correctly, CB's purchasing of coins is limited by the speed of ACH transfers of new USD to the exchanges.  So what happens 3 business days from now, when their flood of new $ from today's Expedia news finally hits the exchanges?

Nice thought, but I don't buy it. Surely some interest would have filtered through to Stamp rather than backing up on Coinbase?

Yeah, I also do not see why it is a big news and why it should cause a rally? It is nice btc is accepted more widely, but buying with it still does not make much sense, rather than to make a statement. On Expedia, even money sundering does not make sense, as tickets are non-anonymous Wink

Gox coins moving to Stamp, though, make much more sense as an explanation on a series of dumps on Stamp.

200k on Stamp would have an effect like 9 billion Ripples being dumped.
No one would be that dumb.


Well, Jed Caleb repeatedly confirmed that he is *that* dumb, he has actually started selling xrps. He is also creator and co-owner of Gox (12% shares). And co-defendant with Karpeles in the trial.

Heh. Guess he must be pretty angry with the board to follow through on it.

Possible BFX spread explanation:



A higher price if it is not liquidity related (low liquidity, large spread, low bid, high ask....) or fee related (higher fees, higher bid, higher ask) which we can safely rule out at the moment is often a sign of it being less attractive for people to withdraw fiat and instead withdraw btc leading to higher btc prices (think MtGox for a very long time), also the other way around (easier to deposit fiat ->higher btc price). This would fit as BFX offers no SEPA and now has % fees to withdrawals. It's also possible that as you said there is higher buy pressure because people have more buying power through margin trading although it could be argued that the ability to short on BFX should keep that in check.

With these possibilites it's probably a mix which leads to 1 to 2 % higher prices. BFX clients should definitely keep an eye on the spread though.


Also: the last time Bitfinex pulled out of an exchange it was G O X, a few months before they shutdown !
Stamp next?



Stamp is doing well, do not se why it will go down.

Gox was doomed was apparent for months.
